As someone who is lactose intolerant and vegan, I understand the desire to have the same delicious options for food as everyone else. With friends and family who are either celiac or gluten sensitive, or have allergies (tree nuts, peanuts, sesame, stone fruits, etc.), I want to make sure my game nights are a friendly, safe, and delicious place for everyone who comes. Hopefully these recipes and this site can help you do the same!

Gluten Disclaimer: I only officially tag recipes that are intentionally written as gluten free to ensure the best texture for people with a more discerning palate or finicky recipes. However, 90% of the recipes on this site are gluten free or easily could be with a 1:1 swap for all purpose gluten free flour of choice and are noted as such in the At a Glance table. I usually use Bob’s Red Mill ap gf flour or Cloud 9 gf flour.

Sugar Disclaimer: Whatever dry sugar the recipe calls for, I use turbinado cane sugar (Sugar in the Raw) or coconut sugar exclusively and interchangeably, with the occasional use of powered sugar for things like icing. If a recipe calls for granulated sugar of some kind and you’re looking for a healthier swap, feel free to use Coconut Sugar (lowest glycemic index of all the ‘real’ sugars, only ~35!)—it works every time! On this site, I consider recipes ‘sugar free’ if they do not use any form of granulated or liquid sugar (maple syrup, honey, turbinado sugar, coconut sugar, brown, white, etc.). I consider recipes ‘refined sugar free’ if they only use liquid sweeteners (maple syrup or honey) or natural things like dates as their sweetener. BTW, I love sugar and will not be eliminating it from my diet any time soon! 😂
