I’ve been wanting to make a hummus recipe for Jed for quite a while now. Snack foods that appeal to a toddler are difficult to come by when restricted by Fructose Malabsorption, and hummus seemed like something I might be able to make within his dietary limitations. Sadly, I hit … Continue reading
Jed is one tough little guy. I know this because I spent yesterday being “fructosed”…and it sucked. My head pounded. My thoughts were fuzzy and disconnected. My stomach was an almost constant cramp. My patience was at an all time low. I was snapping at my men. I felt like … Continue reading
I’m veering far off from my normal topics here, and posting at an irregular time, but I just can’t help myself. I hope you’ll bear with me as I get a little something off my chest. Just a couple weeks ago, Miley Cyrus traipsed her scantily clad self across the … Continue reading
I hate it when I’m right. (Well, not really. I like being right most of the time. It just stinks when I’m right about something bad.) Back in February I stopped Zac from eating some kitty litter, and wrote about WHY you don’t let an FPIES kid eat kitty litter … Continue reading

There’s no fabulous story behind this recipe. I just got bored with the dinners I’ve been making and started throwing things together in the kitchen! It’s a bit of an interesting combination, but in the end it turned out pretty delicious. The grocery store had some gorgeous mushrooms this week, … Continue reading
