I’ve met so many people through allergy support groups that have to deal with being allergic to so many different things.
I often feel grateful that I only deal with a handful of food allergies.
It can be so overwhelming to be allergic to so many foods so I wanted to collect a group of recipes that I have that are free from the Top 8 Allergies that people face.
The recipes below are free from gluten, dairy, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, shellfish, fish, and soy.
They also happen to taste amazing!! They are all recipes that are naturally free from the top 8 allergens or only required some small tweaks.
This helps me to feel like I’m feeding my family more “normal” food that they were used to before food allergies.
Please leave comments below or send me a quick message if you have other food allergies not listed in the top 8 and I will be sure to find some recipes that work for you as well.
I hope you enjoy these recipes as much as my family does!
Slow Cooker Chicken Fajitas
I was so excited when I first ran across the idea of slow cooker fajitas. Genius!
Mexican food is such a great candidate for the slow cooker because the typical ingredients in Mexican food have amazing flavor to begin with.
Slow Cooker White Bean Soup
This white bean soup makes a regular appearance at the dinner table in our house. I love it, my husband loves it, and most importantly my toddler loves it! It’s warm, creamy, and super easy to make.
Italian Meatballs
The gluten free, dairy free, and egg free meatballs are amazing! It only takes about 10 minutes to put the meatballs together and then they bake for 20 minutes.
Homemade meatballs in 30 minutes means this just became one of my favorite go to quick meals for busy weeknights!
I’m here to tell you that Falafel is something you NEED in your life! It is bursting with flavor and has a crispy outside and soft inside that just makes it so delicious.
Serve this on your favorite pita bread, with some quinoa, or just eat it by itself. It’s that good!
Mexican Beans and Rice
I couldn’t believe how easy this Mexican Beans and Rice recipe came together and I almost always have the ingredients needed on hand.
All you need is some cooked rice, black beans, onion, garlic, tomatoes, limes, a little vegan butter, and seasonings. Super easy and super healthy.
Creamy Shepherds Pie
I was so happy with how this shepherds pie recipe turned out. It’s creamy, meaty, and the best kind of comfort food.
Really the best part about the whole recipe is that it’s an allergy friendly delicious meal that I can feel good about feeding to my family!
Black Bean Burgers
I have to admit I was a black bean burger skeptic, but WOW was I proven wrong! I could not believe the flavor that came from these burgers!
They are crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and bursting with flavor.
Avocado Chicken Salad
This Avocado Chicken Salad is so easy to make, super healthy, and extremely delicious!
Serve over some chips to make nachos, or between some bread to make a sandwich, or even even just all by it’s self.
Beef and Bean Chili
This gluten free beef and bean chili was delicious! It was exactly what I was looking for in a good traditional chili.
It’s amazing paired with my cornbread muffins and could be used as a base to make all different kinds of unique chili recipes.
Slow Cooker Chicken Enchilada Soup
Enchiladas are one of my favorite meals ever! I think one of the biggest reasons is because of the enchilada sauce.
I could eat it by the spoonful! So imagine how excited I was to come across the idea of enchilada soup. I get to eat enchilada sauce by the spoonful and not have my husband look at me strange!

The Big-8. A group of the eight major allergenic foods is often referred to as the Big-81 and comprises milk, eggs, fish, crustacean shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat and soybean.
Congress passed the Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act of 2004 (FALCPA). This law identified eight foods as major food allergens: milk, eggs, fish, Crustacean shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, and soybeans.
These eight foods account for 90 percent of food allergic reactions. They are milk, eggs, fish (such as bass, flounder, cod), crustacean shellfish (such as crab, lobster, shrimp), tree nuts (such as almonds, walnuts, pecans), peanuts, wheat and soybeans.
Onions, peppers, berries, and parsley all have quercetin.
Elson Haas, MD, who practices integrative medicine, says quercetin is a natural plant chemical. According to Haas, this chemical may reduce “histamine reactions.” Histamines are part of the allergic response.
Cooking and heating do not destroy allergens in food. Even cooking on the same grill or in a deep fryer may trigger an allergic reaction for the customer if the cooking equipment hasn't been cleaned and sanitised and has previously been used to prepare food that was not allergen free.
They can manifest as a spectrum of symptoms, ranging from itching, redness and swelling for milder reactions, to vomiting, diarrhea, difficulty breathing and other potentially life-threatening symptoms for severe reactions.
Food allergies typically clear from your system within 24 to 72 hours. Reactions to certain foods might appear immediately or up to two hours after consumption. However, for severe allergies, it's important to consult with a healthcare professional for individualized advice.
More than 170 foods have been reported to cause allergic reactions, according to Food Allergy Research & Education (FARE), but the vast majority are caused by the “Big Nine”: milk, eggs, nuts, fish, crustaceans, shellfish, wheat, soy and sesame.
Aquagenic urticaria, or water allergy, is an extremely rare condition. It causes individuals to develop itchy and painful hives when their skin comes into contact with water.
Nine foods cause 90% of food allergic reactions, including cow's milk, egg, peanut, tree nuts, sesame, soy, fish, shellfish and wheat. Peanut, tree nuts, shellfish, fish, sesame and egg are the most common food allergens in older children and adults.
Any food may cause an allergic reaction, but 90% of food allergies in children are caused by just 6 common foods or food groups—milk, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, soy, and wheat.
MCAS is a condition in which the patient experiences repeated episodes of the symptoms of anaphylaxis – allergic symptoms such as hives, swelling, low blood pressure, difficulty breathing and severe diarrhea.
Peanut allergy is one of the most common food allergies. Peanuts are not the same as tree nuts (almonds, cashews, walnuts, etc.), which grow on trees. Peanuts grow underground and are part of a different plant family, the legumes. Other examples of legumes include beans, peas, lentils and soybeans.
Cooking, even with high heat and other methods of food processing, does not reliably destroy food allergens, and doesn't ensure safety for people with food allergies. Foods are complex mixtures, and how they respond to heat is not always predictable.
