Thank you to those who responded to my poll last week! A majority of you (2 out of 3) responded that the balance between recipes and advice is just right. That's great feedback and works for me too!

The website update is underway, although slowly. If Nut Free Wok looks different, it's most likely due to a major planned update to improve the functionality of the site.

This week I have a new recipe and a new allergy mom post about getting ready for college dorm move-in!

Here are my top recommendations from Nut Free Wok for this week.

New and Recommended Recipes

Stir-Fried Romaine Lettuce New recipe! This simple variation of stir-fried iceberg lettuce is written as a top 9 allergen free recipe. Delicious as-is but with options to season with sesame oil, soy sauce, oyster sauce as desired. While writing this article I finally learned about the nutritional benefit of cooking leafy green vegetables. Show me the recipe!

Fresh Spring Rolls These fresh spring rolls are my favorite Vietnamese appetizers. Until we found a peanut-free Vietnames restaurant, I had to learn how to make them myself. I finally reached a popular rice paper and rice noodle brand to confirm that their products are nut-free and made in a rice paper facility. See the post for more allergy adaptations and information. Show me the recipe!

Mochi Ice Cream We recently had a heat wave and I just wanted to cool down with icy drinks and frozen treats, such as mochi ice cream. Mochi ice cream is a frozen dessert that is very difficult to find nut-free. Make them before a heat wave or during the cooler parts of the day. If you can't have coconut, fill the mochi ice cream with your favorite allergy safe ice cream. I have ice cream maker recipes as well as a no-churn strawberry ice cream recipe. Show me the recipe!

Additional Updates

New Post! We've moved in both of our sons to their respective universities over the last 5 years. My younger son will be a 4th year this fall and I wanted to share some of my best recommendations and advice for getting ready for college move-in while everything is still fresh in my mind!

Now is the time to shop for the best prices as Amazon's Prime Day sale is prompting other businesses to have their own sales. I've also included information on what you need as well as items which might be optional or unnecessary to help you save money.

If you participate in the Teal Pumpkin Project on Halloween, remember to shop for any potential bargains next week. I've compiled a list of 12+ Unique Food Items for Teal Pumpkin Project for your inspiration.

Warmly,

Sharon Wong
