Another post on allergy friendly baby meals (and other ideas/thoughts/notes). Here we are at 12 months… I was telling my mom recently that each day it feels like two steps forward & one step back in the eating department. [Actually I said one step forward, two steps back, but we really are moving in the positive so that’s an inaccurate portrayal of the situation] Truth be told, I bet all parents feel like this, even the ones without children with allergies. Some days he eats everything that touches his tray, other days he refuses… Read more >

Mama’s little helper. The addition of shoes to the wardrobe has transformed him into a little boy. He’s non-stop exploring. Still not walking, but he’s perfected his cruising skills, so it’s only a matter if time (days). Green toys. And now the word tractor is a part of his vocab. Davis appropriate. Inspired by Vintage Mixer’s kale coconut & chicken salad I made this guy for lunch. I have been struuuuuggling with lunches lately. I don’t know what to eat without soy or nuts or hummus. I’ve been trying to limit meat to… Read more >

As I’ve shared several times before, this recipe is on repeat all the time here at the HHH household. It’s an allergy friendly winner! I make it with blueberries instead of chocolate chips most of the time, but sometimes (if I don’t have blueberries on hand), I just leave them as plain pumpkin muffins without any add-ins. Still great! Anyway, I wanted to try a savory version in an effort to trick P into eating some squash. Yes, I’ve no resorted to "sneaky chef" techniques – baking veggies into my kid’s food. I’ve been… Read more >

I called both Delta and Virgin airlines this past week to try to see if there was anything special I needed to do when flying with a child with peanut/sesame (tree nut, etc) allergies. The short answer: there’s not. Basically for liability reasons they cannot guarantee that he won’t be served something that’s been contaminated so I should prepare and bring my own food and epi-pen. [Not surprising] Realistically, I’d probably do that anyway. And it would be a huge risk for them to promise there was zero cross contamination or exposure to an… Read more >

In order for all my tasks to stay straight in my head, they have to be written on paper. With check boxes. Because otherwise my mind will never ever shut off. I will literally lie awake at night going over all the things on my to-do list… So I have this. OCD? Yes. But oh so helpful too. For the birthday party, it kept me right on track, and guess what? The hour leading up to our guests’ arrival was completely stress free. I had nothing to do because I had already done everything!… Read more >
