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

Sprouted Bean Potato Topper
I’ll confess that I love a hot lunch. Just throwing a sandwich together at lunchtime fills my stomach, but doesn’t satisfy me as much as something warm from the stove. Last week, I needed to use up some potatoes that were going to go bad, and also use up some of the monster kale plant Read More …
Snow Pea Salad
An old coworker of mine turned me on to this salad many years ago. Snow peas were one of the best things that grew in my (then) new garden, and I needed more ways to serve them. This recipe rocks, both in its simplicity and in its great taste! Snow Pea Salad Contains dairy Ingredients Read More …
Chicken, Black Bean, and Fennel Soup
I invented a soup! Hubby’s parents bought into their community garden this summer, so we’ve been reaping the benefits of their growth (which is great since I’ve been neglecting my garden and it’s been responding in kind.) Funnily, they planted all sorts of vegetables that they’d never eaten before, and they’ve been sharing these new Read More …
A Food Allergy Lesson from a Headache
We believe that Zax gets migraines. They haven’t been officially diagnosed, but we’ve got the family history and they certainly fit the pattern. A few years ago, we learned to medicate him at the first complaint of a headache, because if we don’t, we’ll regret it when the screaming and vomiting set in. We’ve also Read More …
Cherry Tomato Salad
Last summer, I had a “Sweet 100” tomato plant that provided us with so many buckets of cherry tomatoes that we couldn’t even eat them all before the fruit flies ate them too and made them rot. Suffice it to say, we had this salad a lot last year! This year, I didn’t purchase tomato Read More …
Our First FARE Walk!
I think I’ve mentioned it before, but I didn’t feel terribly drawn to the Food Allergy Community until my kids started going off to school. That’s when I was forced to acknowledge that the rest of the world isn’t as knowledgeable nor as accepting of food allergies as my family and close circle of friends. Read More …

Homemade Fondant
I’ve never been a huge fan of fondant icing. It’s probably more of a texture thing than anything, but I prefer cake icings to be rich and creamy, and generally more smooth than fondant. However, when it comes to decorating cakes, fondant can go to so many more places than regular icing, which is why Read More …
Don’t Lick the Dough!
Zax had a minor allergic reaction last night. And it was my fault. We’ve been baking without egg for basically his whole life, but recently we were given the green light to start feeding him baked egg. On top of that, we’ve entered him into a Clinical Research Study where we’ve pledged to feed him Read More …
Gluten Free Baked Doughnut Goodies
Yesterday, hubby and I attended our first expo! We had a booth at the Incredible Edible Gluten Free Food Fair from Denver Celiacs. It was quite the learning experience, and we had a lot of fun. In honor of potential new followers from the Fair, today’s recipe is another one that hubby wrote up for Read More …
