Even if your child doesn't have a food allergy, chances are that one of her classmates does, which can make bringing snacks to school events challenging. Enter Kelly Rudnicki, a food allergyawareness advocate and mother of four from Wilmette, Ill.
Rudnicki's Web site, foodallergymama.com, is loaded with useful recipes and tips for handling food allergies at home and in school.
"When my son turned one, the only recipe I could find for a dairy- and egg-free cake that he could eat was terrible," says Kelly. "So I set out to make treats that would taste as good as the real deal."
To try her recipes (such as the banana chocolate chip muffins shown here), check out her blog or her book due out in October: "The Food Allergy Mama's Baking Book: Great Dairy-, Egg-, and Nut-Free Treats for the Whole Family" (Agate Surrey, $20).
