Open Sesame

I have so much to fill you guys in on.  Like, SO MUCH.  I’m sorry I can’t seem to find the time to blog but P starts school tomorrow and the summer has been all about getting everything squared away for that. For the purposes of this blog, that means…allergy trials!  And guess what!?! Sesame is ALL CLEAR! As you can imagine this is a total game changer. [See above: kiddo’s first sushi] Hummus is back to it’s former role at the base of my dietary food pyramid.  Can I get an amen?!?!  And we are… Read more >

Allerbling

P is starting school in a few weeks (!!!!) and while he is a fantastic self advocate for his allergies, this is the first time I will be away from him and trusting someone else to feed him.  It’s only a snack (and truth be told, I’m still planning to pack his food every day) BUT he will be around others who are eating (potential allergens) which gives me anxiety just writing it out here now. Thanks to a LOT of teaching, I know he’s ready because… -He asks if foods have peanuts, sesame or cow milk in them… Read more >

Jamba Juice is so allergy friendly

Ever since I discovered how awesome Jamba Juice is (in terms of taste and their allergen protocol in the store) I’ve been tempted to let P try it. I want him to learn how to speak up for himself – to self advocate about his allergies and his health needs – and maybe develop a bit of independence in the process.  Also, I want him to get the pleasure of ordering food (if we eat at restaurants with the kids I always bring food for him – I trust no kitchen other than my own). So last week, when… Read more >

Danielle Walker’s Against All Grain

I’ve been following Danielle’s blog for a while and she frequently alludes to recipes in her various cookbooks that sound delicious.  Her blog is very allergy conscious, which is one of the many reasons I started following it (back when P was diagnosed with multiple allergies).  She also comes from an SCD background (similar to FODMAPs) and so that was another key thing that intrigued me (because so few people are knowledgeable in both cooking/recipe writing AND IBS dietary treatment protocol).  So I decided to check out her cookbook from the library to see if it might be worth the… Read more >

Pumpkin muffins & and allergy update

I have such good news! This past weekend was so awesome for a few different reasons and I’ve been on a high ever since.  Gah.  I needed this. I’ve been stuck in a rough patch for a couple of weeks.  I don’t know if you could detect it through my [infrequent] posts but I’m coming out of the fog now.  I haven’t felt super inspired to check in here on this space and so I just haven’t. But first, muffins! PUMPKIN muffins no less.  #basic fall move. Turns out this kid loves pumpkin (future food blogger?).  And… Read more >
