When it comes to egg allergy, there are so many options out there for baked egg, but I struggled finding good store bought options for dressings and sauces that typically contain egg. For mayonnaise, the vegan mayonnaise I found often was close to expiration, didn’t eat it frequently enough for it to be worth it,…
For my son’s birthday party last year, it was really important to me that we only served food he was able to eat. I keep his allergens in the house and eat them regularly – I know a lot of people choose to remove them, and I think whatever works for your family is best.…
I absolutely LOVE chocolate. I wanted to share my favorite foods with my son, and when discovered his food allergies I realized he wouldn’t be able to enjoy very many chocolaty things as they generally contain dairy.

One Sunday evening a few months ago I was reminiscing on this tradition and decided it was time to start it up again with my own family. Originally I just made a…
We are big fans of spicy food at our house and I’m always trying to figure out different foods and flavors we can try. This recipe reminds me a lot of my dad, one of his signature dishes he would make a lot was kung pao chicken, and the flavor is pretty similar. We’re coming…
When I was pregnant with my second son, I saw a video of someone making their own peach rings – I love peach ring candies. The whole point of the video was to make them from scratch with healthier ingredients, and so I wanted to try it myself. The experiment did not go as I…
