Corn & Sugar-Free Homemade Ketchup

A while back I posted my homemade ketchup recipe. It’s delicious, it’s perfect, it’s wonderful…and we can no longer use it! When I first started making it, I only made it for Jed. I knew that vinegar was made from corn, but that was okay. This wasn’t for Zac. Later … Continue reading

The Best Food Allergy Thanksgiving Tips

Thanksgiving is upon us again, and I honestly have nothing new to share this year. At least Jed and I have picked up a small dose of the cooties Darrel has now, so it’s very possible Thanksgiving for our family won’t happen this Thursday. My parents would rather we not bring … Continue reading

Blueberry Picking With Preschoolers

A few weeks ago, I went blueberry picking with my preschoolers. We had to find some organic, fresh blueberries for Zac’s planned blueberry trial, and since I couldn’t find organic blueberries last year at the Farmer’s Market, pick your own seemed the solution! Honestly, I wasn’t sure how it would … Continue reading

Egg-Free, Gluten-Free Salmon Patties – Revisited!

One of the most frequently searched-for recipes found on my site is my egg-free, gluten-free Salmon Patties. It makes me so happy to know I’m helping some people figure out how to make something delicious again after losing eggs and gluten from their diet!

Homemade Conversation Heart Candies

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

Homemade Gummy Treats

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

Quinoa Roll Out Cookies

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

Fructose Friendly Sugar Cookie Roll Outs

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

Dextrose Dessert Decoration – Sugar & Food Dye Free

Valentine’s Day is just about two weeks away, and that means parties. Oh, and romance, but I can’t help you with that! For us food allergic families, it’s also a time to – once again – lament the fact that we can’t participate in so many yummy food traditions. Take … Continue reading

Perfect Homemade Dry Shampoo for Brunettes

The lifestyle and duties of a Flight Attendant have changed enormously since the 1960’s. Back then, stick thin single gals (and a few fellas, too) happily catered to wealthy customers who preferred to travel in style. I hear there were some AWESOME parties, too. Nowadays, Flight Attendants are more likely … Continue reading
