do macarons have peanuts in them

Because of food allergies, I rarely eat what most would call sumptuous food. My diet consists of the basics: lean proteins, fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and water. Simply buying something already made that I can safely eat is a relished treat.

Now and then, I buy gluten-free cupcakes for special occasions. But I often bake my own cupcakes to reduce sugar and ensure they are free of dairy, gluten, nuts, and soy. Whether bought or homemade, these cupcakes cost more than ordinary ones. They really are a luxury for me.

Our macarons are made with almonds/almond flour. Some flavors also contain peanuts, pistachios, hazelnuts & walnuts. We recommend that customers with nut allergies do not consume our macarons.

Responding when I cannot eat what my family can

The pictures of the little cookie boutique enticed us. The exquisite interior design instantly caught my attention. My sons eyes grew wide at the sight of dozens of cookies in so many bright colors.

I decided to fulfill his desire for a colorful, sweet treat with a fun adventure for both of us! We needed a break from always being at home. And this seemed like a much-deserved reward for my working hard to meet several writing deadlines.

Turning desire into delight

So, I drove us to the unique cookie boutique. We stepped into what looked to me like a scene on a European street. My son ran to the cookie cases and pointed to all the macarons he wanted. He would have liked one of every color if we could have afforded them.

For a moment, I wished I could eat a macaron. I asked the server about the other ingredients in these appealing treats. The server kindly let me review the ingredient list.

I was glad to see the gluten-free signs sitting by each macaron. They signaled the progress on my journey with food allergies over the last 14 years. But gluten is merely one of the foods to which I am either allergic or sensitive.
