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

FABlogCon Hotel
In case you’d forgotten, Allergy Superheroes is going to be a sponsor for FABlogCon this year! And since we’re local, we decided to swing by the Renaissance Denver Hotel and take some pictures, so you can see where you’ll be going! Taken from the southeast corner of the building. From the southwest corner. Looking up Read More …
Personalized coloring books from My Kids Food Allergies!
The folks over at My Kids Food Allergies, a great food allergy resource, graciously asked me to preview their new coloring books! I told them I’d be happy to take a look. As you can see, this isn’t just any coloring book. Those are my sons’ faces on there! That’s because my kids are the Read More …
Pumpkin Pasta
Do you ever get bored with the way you serve pasta? Red sauce, white sauce, plain old butter, olive oil (I hear people use pesto, not an option here.) There are different ways to dress it up, and different proteins to add, but often kids, in particular, latch onto one type of pasta and aren’t Read More …

Egg-Free Pancakes
Sunday morning, I had no idea what recipe I was going to post on the blog today. I mulled it over until I realized we were almost out of Bisquick. Sunday is always pancake day, so I’d have to make pancakes from scratch. Bingo! I haven’t posted our egg-free pancake recipe on the blog yet! Read More …
Smoked Salmon Medley
This recipe is a family favorite! We got it around the time my husband and I married, and it has become our go-to appetizer for holidays and family gatherings. Somebody is always asking if we’re going to make it. This year we made it for–you guessed it, Easter! Smoked Salmon Medley Ingredients: 8oz brick of Read More …
Easter Magic and Food Allergies
Our older son Zax is at the age where he’s starting to figure things out when it comes to holidays. He’s very inquisitive, very logical, and has started putting some of the pieces together regarding the “magic” of the holidays. Santa, the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy… I have a feeling that none of them Read More …
Chocolate “Butter”cream Frosting
Hello friends! Let’s talk about frosting. I have turned into a frosting snob over the last few years. For Zax’s first birthday, I discovered several frosting recipes that I absolutely love, and now I can’t make myself go back to canned frosting. I didn’t really make this switch because of allergies–the store-bought ones are usually Read More …
Our Own Little Worlds
It’s funny. I didn’t used to spend very much time thinking about allergies. Safety routines had become habit, I read all the labels (and quite frankly made most of my own food anyway, mostly because it was cheaper.) I checked food at restaurants (although I’ll admit I was lax about assuming some items that never Read More …
