I’ve shared this recipe before…but ’tis the season and it’s still a fabulous pie! ***** For as long as I can remember, I’ve always relished the annual sweet treats that the fall season brings. Now that my son has life-threatening peanut and nut allergies and I have a gluten intolerance, we still enjoy those brightly … Continue reading
Starting today, The Food Allergy Mom is beginning a new post series called, “What’s Cookin’ In Grandma’s Kitchen” to encourage food allergy families to reclaim their kitchens. A couple of times each week I will be posting allergy-friendly, gluten-free, and nut-free versions of my grandmother’s recipes. I have dozens of my grandmother’s old recipe cards … Continue reading
When I first got the diagnosis of celiac, I was so green at reading food labels and such that I only ate products that had the phrase “gluten-free” clearly labeled on the product packaging. Although it served its purpose at the time, it wasn’t a very fun way to live or eat. I felt doomed … Continue reading
I’ve been so excited about the new Gigi’s Cupcakes that opened a few months ago in our town. Their cupcakes are just beautiful…almost a work of art! Above all else, they look positively delicious. As with most cupcakes stores, I imagined this one to be off-limits for me since I’m gluten-free. So you can imagine … Continue reading
A few weeks ago, the folks at Enjoy Life Foods asked me if I would be willing to test out their oven-baked chewy bars (think granola bars). I always jump at the chance to taste test a new food to share with other food allergy families, and that opportunity is even more golden when it’s … Continue reading
The good folks at HomeFree were kind enough to send me a few product samples to review and share with you, my readers! I was so excited when the package arrived last week! (See my previous post for more product reviews.) Before I review their products, let me share a little about HomeFree. They have … Continue reading
Although I love to cook and bake, time isn’t always on my side…especially during the busy school year. Honestly, between school, day care, extracurricular activities, sports, and everything else I’m doing good to get dinner on the table period. One of the greatest conveniences of not having food allergies is the ability to purchase pre-packaged … Continue reading
As I’m sure you’ve already noticed from my previous Walt Disney World (WDW) posts, we are such a fan of vacationing there as a family with multiple food allergies. It was a worry and stress free trip where we could go to virtually any restaurant and find something to accommodate my son’s peanut, nut, sesame, … Continue reading
Udi’s, one of my favorite gluten-free brands, is usually only available at The Whole Foods market downtown or at the natural food store just down the road…but never in the grocery store. Thankfully, the mainstream grocery stores are catching on and are starting to carry Udi’s muffins, cookies, and bread. I’m particularly fond of Udi’s … Continue reading
I’m always on a quest to try something new on the market to see if it is better than what I’m currently using. I found a true blue winner when it comes to Gluten-Free Betty Crocker cake mixes. Both mixes are great for those with celiac and a gluten intolerance, but it has also worked … Continue reading
