Focus on Fructose

Let’s take a moment to focus on fructose, shall we? I’ve had many comments about Jed’s Fructose Malabsorption, about some of the ingredients I use in my recipes, and just general fructose “confusion” about what we’re doing and why we’re doing it. So, I thought I would clarify a few … Continue reading

Why Do Kids Always Get Sick on Saturday?

  It’s no secret I have a love/hate relationship with doctors. (See this, this, this, this and this for evidence.) I’d go so far as to say that if you are a doctor I have dealt directly with, there is only about a 5% chance that I have neutral feelings about … Continue reading

The Incredible, In-edible CORN

FAAW is nearing its completion. I have seen some beautiful, amazing testimonies to the effects of food allergies on families, and learned some new food allergy facts and trivia (yes, no matter how far in the food allergy rabbit hole you’ve fallen, you still learn new things all the time!). … Continue reading

FAAW Video – See Zac in Action!

They say a picture is worth a thousand words…how much is a video worth? This is my very first video making effort, and I’m sure anyone who knows anything about putting a video together will laugh at what I’ve done! But I don’t mind. This was fun to make, and … Continue reading

*WE* Have FPIES Eyes!

A Servant’s Heart

My brain is just filled with thoughts of Mother’s Day and Motherhood.  I sat down to write a post about it and it was just…going no where. Rather, it was going everywhere! Rambles and oh-so-earnest “lessons” and it just…sucked. Mama’s tired, y’all. And that’s as good a starting point as any, … Continue reading

Blueberry Muffins – Vegan, GF, Fructose-Friendly (with Glaze!)

I am DYING to eat one of these! OK, so when you take out dairy, and eggs, and butter, and wheat, and sugar, well, you start to wonder if you can ever have a baked good again! After many trials (and lots of errors), I finally tweaked my old, regular … Continue reading

We Have A Winner!!

This was so exciting for me! I love writing this blog, and one of the reasons I do is because of my awesome readers. Y’all have encouraged and challenged me, and been my friends. So being able to give something away to you made me go “squee”! I took the … Continue reading

What To Do With a New Tooth

Saturday afternoon, as I struggled to strap a screaming Zac into his carseat, I looked down to see that – oh my goodness! He got another tooth! Finally. This teething thing was getting old. So he now has 7 little teeth in his cute little head, and I’m sure the … Continue reading
