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 ...

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.

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 …
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.)

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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
