It is at this time every year I get a little bummed out that I can’t bake for Ryan’s school holiday party. I waver back and forth between buying something and trying to figure out how I can actually do some baking, even when it’s not allowed. Believe me, I totally understand why it’s not allowed. I can’t imagine how scary it would be to send your kids out into the world with the worry that they might be exposed to an allergen that could make them sick or worse.
I guess I feel like the kiddies are missing out on good old fashioned iced Christmas cookies. Well guess what? This is all they know so they aren’t missing a thing! They will enjoy every bit of the holiday party, with all the “allowed” treats. Besides, we can always do plenty of baking at home for our families, right?
I went to Jewel to find perfectly acceptable cookies for our class. I have no confidence in my cookie choices as they all were made in plants that process peanuts and tree nuts…geeze! I can’t imagine choosing something that might make a classmate ill…..I have great respect for those Mom’s who have kids with allergies. You have a big job and I totally appreciate what you go through.
I settled on oreos and chocolate mouse reindeer peeps. It’s all good.
Have a great day-
Angie
