Nut Allergy Friendly Mother's Day Brunch
On Mother's Day, we enjoyed an amazing feast at The Chase Park Plaza Hotel in St. Louis. It was truly over the top as you can see for yourself with this dessert table. But the most amazing aspect of the brunch was that the staff at the Khorassan Ballroom was not only aware of nut allergies but also quite accommodating. Not unlike the Disney Dining experiences, the Chef walked us through the buffet selections and pointed out our safe choices. The Pastry Chef did the same with the desserts. Although they did served peanut butter mousse, there were also at least ten items that were nut-free including a flan, merengue, mango parfait, fruit tarts and a host of others. It was so nice to go to such an event and not have our guy feel deprived. It gave me permission to pile the desserts on my plate. So Happy Mother's Day to ME!

Please be aware that MANGOES are the same family as cashews & pistachios!!! They should also be avoided if you have allergies to these nuts.
My stepdad is a botanist and mentioned to me that peaches have tree nuts inside - their pits! When they are processed there is a good chance particles of the pit will contaminate the fruit. I would caution anyone who has tree nut allergies to be careful about eating fruit like apricots and peaches! Please spread the word but also check this out yourself with your doctor.
