Noodles and Company in Turkey Creek

July 6, 2011 by · Leave a Comment 

The new Noodle place in Turkey Creek is very allergy-friendly.  They record all allergies on the order ticket and use separate pans.  They do serve peanuts on several of their dishes, but we have been pleased with the cross-contamination avoidance.  They are able to accommodate our nuts and egg allergic daughter.  Just make sure and tell them the allergies when you place the order and enjoy!

Egg Free Brownies- Finally!!

July 6, 2011 by · 2 Comments 

I got a hot tip from a woman in Indianapolis about how to get brownies to work without egg:  The magic ingredient- pumpkin!

1 brownie mix (milk or nut free if you also are avoiding those, I used duncan hines)

oil and water called for in the recipe

1/2 can pumpkin pie filling (the extra spices seem to add to the brownies or just plain canned pumpkin also works)

Make the brownies following package directions, mix in the pumpkin in place of the egg.- I used 5 degrees cooler in the oven than called for and probably 5-10 minutes longer than called for in my pan- use the toothpick test to tell if the brownies are finished.

I made a double batch using an entire can of pumpkin for our 4th of July family reunion (two 11 by 13 pans and no one guessed that they were special brownies safe for my daughter!!!
