I hid allergic reactions as a child--and I'm not alone. I've deconstructed my memories of them in the hopes that we can better prepare our children. Read More ...
The Child who Hides an Allergic Reaction

Shrimp Pizza
I got this recipe out of a magazine a while back, and it is scrum-diddle-e-umptious! If you’re looking for a break from plain-old red sauce, cheese, and pepperoni, this pizza hits the spot! Whip one up for your next pizza night, or even for the Superbowl! Shrimp Pizza Contains shellfish (shrimp) Mine also contains wheat Read More …
FABlogCon 2015
Well, I’m a few months late, but that doesn’t mean that I can’t still plug the excellent FABlogCon! What is FABlogCon, you might ask? Well, it’s none other than the Food Allergy Blogger’s Conference! Hubby and I were thrilled last year when we discovered that FABlogCon 2015 would be in our neck of the woods! Read More …
Rosemary Chicken
I found this recipe on a box of my kids’ favorite flavor of Triscuits: Rosemary and Olive Oil. Since the kids like the crackers so much, I decided to give it a try (modifying it for allergens, of course.) They turned out really good! Rosemary Chicken Contains wheat** Also may contain soy–the cracker ingredients say Read More …
Lemon Dill Salad Dressing
If you like Italian-style salad dressings, you need to give this dressing a try! Personally, I have a big problem with salt. I call myself a salt-aholic–I’ll munch the stuff by itself and love every lick. I’ve even wondered (but never tested) whether I might process sodium differently than others and may need more of it. Read More …
Cod Cakes
I found this recipe in Parents Magazine a few years back. I had to modify it to edit out egg and for our personal tastes, and it’s now a popular dish in our household. This is a great way to make your own fish sticks, without all the extra junk that’s in frozen ones! It Read More …
Top 8 and Gluten Free Cut-Out Sugar Cookies with Aquafaba Royal Icing
This pair of recipes came out of the need to provide safe food for my family at two different events. The first was for Zax’s class Gingerbread Party. The sign-up sheet came home, asking for parents to provide icing or decorations for the party. I signed up for icing and then chatted with the teacher Read More …
Pumpkin Biscuits
My pumpkin posts are extending into December! I first made this recipe a long time ago with pureed sweet potato, but when trying to decide what to do with the mountain of pumpkin in my freezer, I realized that these biscuits would probably taste really good with pumpkin. And I was right! Not only have Read More …
A Note to Parents: Don’t Feel Guilty
You don’t need to feel guilty about eating foods your child is allergic to. Having foods that you enjoy is a part of taking care of yourself, and all kids need parents who take care of themselves. As long as you are taking precautions to keep your child safe from exposure, you are being a good parent. Read More …
Egg(less) Nog
Egg Nog. It’s a tradition for many at this time of year. I’ll be one of the first to say that I love the flavors, the creamy richness, and the decadence of eggnog. Sharing a cool glass with a loved one while bundled up in a cozy sweater is a quintessential Christmas feeling. I even Read More …
Pumpkin Soup with Chili Cran-Apple Relish
I’m continuing my pumpkin junkie posts with another pumpkin recipe, this one for a spicy, savory Pumpkin Soup! Most pumpkin soups are sweet, but this one isn’t, which is great if you don’t want sweet for your main course. Adjust the amount of hot sauce and chili powder depending on how much you can take Read More …
