I grew up eating pancakes or waffles almost every single morning of my life, so when my son couldn’t do egg or dairy pancakes and waffles became a challenge. Then my husband couldn’t do gluten and it added another level of difficult to breakfast. These lemon blueberry pancakes are so good and you can’t even…
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. I started coming up with all kinds of recipes to replace some of my favorite chocolatey treats with…
Pancakes are a breakfast staple but they always have milk and or eggs. For the longest time I would make homemade pancakes with a modified version of my mom’s pancake recipe, but they really didn’t turn out right without the dairy or egg in them. Every pancake recipe I could find didn’t taste very good…
This is one of those ingredients I didn’t really think I’d need a replacement for at first. When our son tested positive for an anaphylactic dairy allergy, I read the ingredients on the normal Italian bread crumbs we would use and noticed they contained milk. Because of that, I would just substitute recipes needing breadcrumbs…
Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, Egg-Free Raspberry Chia Seed Pancakes Breakfasts are hard when you can’t have eggs, milk, or wheat. Ever since I found a really amazing vegan buttermilk waffle recipe though, I’ve been a lot more confident in my ability to make delicious and nutritious breakfast foods without our allergens. I found a recipe for raspberry…
Growing up, chocolate chip cookies became a Sunday evening tradition that my brother, Todd, started. Nothing beats a warm melty chocolate chip cookie. 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…
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…
Saint Patrick’s day is such a fun holiday to go all out on everything being green. Weather it’s wearing a green shirt, socks, or full on dressing up as a leprechaun, most people enjoy this holiday or at least participate to avoid getting pinched! From what I’ve experienced, most celebrations involve a lot of food,…
