If you’ve read the Elisa-Safe recipes, you might be wondering “What the heck is Elisa-Safe?”

Elisa is my niece. She has food allergies. A lot of them. I create recipes that Elisa can eat. It’s no fun to sit at the table while everyone else eats, but food allergies keep her from being part of the group.

Elisa-Safe recipes are meant to be enjoyed by everyone, not just the one with food allergies. These are all inclusive recipes.

In case you’re wondering about the food allergies, here is a list of all the ingredients I cannot use in an Elisa-Safe recipe:

Almond	Anise	Bell Pepper	Cashews
Cayenne Pepper	Cayenne Pepper	Cheese	Chicken
Chickpea	Cinnamon	Cloves	Curry
Eggs	Garlic	Ginger	Gluten
Goat Milk	Lamb	Lychee	Macadamia
Marjoram	Oregano	Pistachio	Pomegranate
Poppy Seed	Raisin	Rye	Spelt
Sunflower Seed	Thyme	White Mushroom	Winter Squash
Yogurt	Zucchini	Coffee
