Reasons to love Roseville

A) They have a fabulous hospital. B) They have an even more fabulous Whole Foods. We have only been to Roseville twice before and both times were hospital related.  The first was P’s allergy incident and the second was a tour of the maternity floor, delivery rooms, etc (last week).  And both times we have hit up Whole Foods while there. Because WHY NOT!?!  It’s a brand new, super swanky, insanely massive store with everything.  I could spend hours roaming the aisles and that’s not an exaggeration.  Kyle has to reign me in when we… Read more >

Party weekend

The birthday posts continue!  Even though he officially turned two last week, we held a small birthday party at a local park this holiday weekend. Our big two year old! That was on Monday…so first lemme back up…Kyle’s parents arrived in town on Saturday and we went to watch Kyle play ultimate frisbee as a big group. We hit up WF for groceries after…Happy Valentines’s dinner to us. I went the totally easy route with quinoa, rotisserie chicken and Caesar salad.  Not much hands on time, so I could be with family as much as possible…. Read more >

Allergy friendly cupcakes for three

I didn’t end up making these for my little dude’s birthday party because I ran out of time and used an allergy free baking mix instead (Cherrybrook Kitchen), but they were great and P loved them so I figured I should share.  If you multiply the recipe by 4 you would have a dozen allergy-friendly-not-too-sweet-but-delicious-and-fluffy-vanilla-flavored muffins.  And if you add frosting they become cupcakes, so there you go. Allergy friendly cupcakes (for three) [gluten free, dairy free, soy free, nut free] Ingredients: 1 egg 2 tbsp sugar 2 tbsp canola oil 1/2 tsp vanilla 1/4 cup… Read more >

Dairy trials

A while ago I mentioned I got our allergist’s blessing to do some at home trials with P’s allergens.  For a variety of reasons I was optimistic that it would go well…First off, he was tested way back when he was 9 months old and so much time has passed.  But even more importantly, he had never actually consumed several of the foods he tested positive to so how do we know the blood tests were even accurate.  False positives and negatives are common and there’s also a large scale of immune responses so I didn’t… Read more >

The weekly menu

This post is laaaaaate…ok, so I’m just going to do both the past two weeks in one post because I am so behind.  I have good excuses – my little man was sick all last week and then he got better and then had an allergic reaction (during a dairy trial) and then all of a sudden it was his birthday!  So I now have a two year old.  Crazy stuff.  How about some food peppered with my random thoughts? Holy crap this was a long time ago.  We went to our friends’ house for a… Read more >
