Gluten Free Macaroni Monster Eyes: An Easy to Make & Fun Treat for Kids for Halloween This post is sponsored by #HorizonOrganic. All opinions are my own. Read the full disclosure here.
One of the reasons I love Halloween so much is getting to create fun and ghoulish treats! 
The main goal of my posts has always been to focus on the can-haves instead of the cannots, by creating smiles and fun with food. It's something I've done for my own Little Miss since she was first diagnosed with food allergies and later a gluten intolerance.
Being a typical child, one of her favorite foods is macaroni and cheese. So, I wanted to create a fun bite sized treat that I could pack her for lunch or even serve up at a Halloween party as a delicious bite. 
These Baked Gluten Free Macaroni Monster Eyes are easy to make and your kiddos will smile and laugh as they pick them up to eat! All you need is one box of Horizon Organic Gluten Free White Cheddar Cheesy Mac, shredded cheese, and sliced olives. 

Udi's Perfect Gluten Free Pizza Party Night!

A few weeks ago, I shared about a "pizza party night" Little Miss, the fella, and I were having on our Instagram page. 

Udi's has partnered with Pizza Hut to offer Gluten Free pizza! And they *finally* started selling it at my local Pizza Hut store. (YAY!) Udi's graciously sent us a gift card to Pizza Hut so we can give it a try, along with some other goodies, to make the Perfect Gluten Free Pizza Party Night!

During the holidays, we love entertaining. It seems we are always have friends or family members visiting and catching up for a few hours at a time.

 

Gatherings always need good food. Who wants to be stuck in the kitchen though when you have guests arriving soon or even while they're in your living room? No one.

 

The freezer aisle comprises 3,700+ different, delicious foods ranging from nutrient-rich fruits and vegetables to decadent ice creams and novelties. Of the 3,700+ foods, many are naturally allergy free, and the gluten free specialty foods are growing every time I visit the store!

 

Utilizing freezer friendly foods ensures you have your ingredients on hand for unexpected guests and can help you save time preparing. Here are a few simple {gluten free & allergy friendly} party food ideas & recipes thanks to NFRA & EasyHomeMeals.com:

 

Halloween Cute Food & Party Table Decor Ideas #AllergyFriendly #GlutenFree

I love Halloween.

I know for families with food allergies it can be a scary time, but once you learn what works best during "trick or treating" time for your kids, it can be an enjoyable night with lots of laughs and silly costumes.

The same goes for Halloween parties. I love coming up and making cute themed foods and decorating my house for the holiday.

Halloween can be everything from oranges, black, greens, purples, pumpkins, spiders, vampires, ghosts, and more.

Here are some of our favorite Halloween party tips & fun food ideas to make your party a success!

Beary Special Birthday Ideas! {Bear Party Theme}

Coming up with budget friendly and creative birthday party ideas is something I love doing. 
You don't have to spend a fortune to create an unique and fun themed party for your kids.
Last year, Little Miss had a "Bear Themed Birthday Bash". When my friends at Surf Sweets heard this, they asked me to share some of our beary special birthday ideas on the blog!

Homemade Apple Pie: Gluten, Nut, Dairy, & Egg FREE #Recipe

"I started singing, bye bye Miss American Pie..."
"Bye bye" because this Homemade Apple Pie was gobbled up as soon as that knife hit it!
I was thrilled to have family in town last weekend from Indiana- My sister, grandmother, and aunt. They were staying by my folks house, and my younger brother's birthday happened just days prior. I knew we were going to be having a mini-celebration since everyone was here. 
Celebration means one thing to me: Dessert! 
I love baking up allergy friendly goodies for Little Miss and have no problems bringing our own to events. I get even more joy out of trying something new and when they pass the test of others, not ever knowing it's gluten free! What's even greater? This pie is also nut free, dairy free, & egg free. Boom.
