Making allergy and intolerance safe, healthier versions of traditional treats for my kiddos on holidays has become somewhat of a mission for me. Last year, I finally managed to master making homemade dairy-free chocolates for Jed, which helped make Easter, Christmas, and Halloween more traditional for him. However, we recently discovered … Continue reading
I just had 11 days off from work in a row, and in that time I never once plugged in my computer or other electronics, only turned on the computer once (for my last post), and made almost no progress on straightening out the house from the last few months … Continue reading
I had a big old post written for today, and when I went to edit and re-read, I depressed myself. Sure, huge parts of our lives suck right now, but geez! If I’m getting tired of writing about it, I know you all are tired of reading it! The short version … Continue reading
About two years ago I made some gummy treats for Jed. The recipe I used was simple and delicious, and since I didn’t change a thing about it I only shared the link, not the whole recipe. We loved those gummy treats! There were only two things I wanted to … Continue reading
After last weeks stomach bug, things settled down somewhat on the kiddo front. Both boys bounced back fairly quickly, though none of our tummies were at 100% by the end of the week. Still, no more vomiting or diarrhea, so it’s a step in the right direction. We didn’t have any … Continue reading
This winter is being particularly rough on my hands. They’re cracking and severely dry, no matter how much hand cream I slather on. Long before I delved into the food allergy world, I made my own sea salt hand scrub. With my hands so dry and icky lately, I remembered … Continue reading
Last Monday I woke up in Boston, just as another major snowstorm began. My flight was scheduled to depart at 6:45 a.m. We finally took off at almost 1:00 p.m. We were lucky, though; we were one of 4 flights that my airline was actually able to get in the … Continue reading
Right off the bat I will tell you that this recipe does NOT taste like manna from Heaven. Unlike the “sugar” cookies I created for Jed, these cookies taste like a dry cracker. After all, there isn’t any sweetener in them at all! But for people on a restricted diet, … Continue reading
This recipe makes me so happy. It also happens to thrill my 4 year old son, who had never experienced a “sugar” cookie roll-out in his life until I created this cookie for him. While Jed can now have goat milk, he still has to avoid eggs, wheat, sugar, and … Continue reading
You know the old saying “Two steps forward, one step back”? I wish we were so lucky. For us, it’s more like “one step forward, one step back”. Okay, occasionally we just have to step to the side, but still. It’s not exactly the forward momentum we prefer, even when … Continue reading
