Help! Stuck sweet tooth

[Lilly.T.]

I have an allergy to wheat, beef and milk/milk byproducts. My main problem with my new dietary restrictions comes around during snack time or celebrations. I can't injest any of the deserts most people can have at any time. I was wondering if anyone out there knew of some recepies that could help me out with this.

I found that oatmeal-raisin cookies are close to working but i can't find a recipie that dosn't call for all-purpose flour...

Any input would be greatly appritiated

Having allergies calls for thinking outside the box. try this one on for size. Citrus Compote With Honey and Golden Raisins. This is a great example of using a healthier alternative to the common dessert.

I have a problem with sugar too. Sometimes a herbal tea with stevia with help the cravings. If I must have dessert, I try to adjust a recipe by substituting what I can't have (dairy/beef) with ingredients I can have (soymilk for milk, Earth Balance margarine for margarine...it is dairy-free). Sometimes, a good piece of fruit will do...love watermelon, pomegranates, pears, sweet plums) If you can't have dairy, godairyfree.com is good. They have a list of hidden dairy to watch in the indredients of food.

Good luck

I am not sure about allergies but I will say if you can go low carb you will eventually get to where you do not crave sweets at all. I know for myself if I eat a bunch of junk then it just leads to more eating of junk and I have to do what I call a carb cleanse and just go for about 3 days with very little carbs, only in veggies and soon I will no longer crave the sweeter items.

how about macaroons? could you deal w/coconut flakes (can find these s/free btw), egg whites and almond flour?

Have you seen oat flour? I think you could use it in your cookies and it would perfectly replace the a.p. flour
