our journey through eczema, asthma & allergies
My Favorite Frosting Recipe: 1 cup palm shortening 4 cups powdered sugar (use corn-free, if needed) splash or two of dairy-free milk Place all ingredients in mixing bowl & mix until desired consistency, add more milk if you need to. This recipe is good for two dozen cupcakes or two cakes. It’s pretty much the [...]
I’m sitting here, with a very sick & sleeping three year-old & a napping 11-month old. My six-year old is at his violin lesson, with his Papa. As a result, this blog is getting some posts. I always have ideas floating around, what I want to post next, but any free time given to blogging, [...]
I’m having a venting moment- going garlic-free is a pain-in-the-ass. I was going to word it politely, & avoid being blunt, but screw it. Anyone that’s reading on here, that’s also dealing with food allergies, knows what a pain some of this stuff can be! Ry had his allergy testing in December, both the patch [...]
Sometimes the easiest recipes are easily forgotten about. Actually, we never even ate Sloppy Joes growing up. The few times I remember eating them is while visiting my Grandparents, & they came straight out of the can. Yep, Manwich. I just read the Michael Pollan quote, “Don’t eat anything your great-grandmother wouldn’t recognize as food,” [...]
Yesterday, I made these sweet little rainbow cupcakes, an idea courtesy of Pinterest. I repinned this months ago, but as usual, never followed through. When you click on the link, there’s actually no directions in English, but there’s a good set of photos to walk you through the steps. So what I did was divide [...]
The last few weeks have been filled with some drastic food changes. It deserves it’s very own post, but the short version is our 9 month old has lots of food intolerances. She is still exclusively breastfeeding, so January 1st I took those foods out of my diet. It’s been an interesting adjustment. I had [...]
Wishing you & your family a holiday filled with peace, love & happiness, surrounded by your family & friends, & good health & good cheer peace love happiness from our family to yours, Merry Christmas
I am guest-posting at Itchy Little World about Thanksgiving dinner- the post can be found below or here. Living with food allergies & intolerances is certainly challenging at times. Food is such a central part of our social activities (not ours specifically, but people in general), that no matter how prepared you are for something, [...]
Thanksgiving is approaching, which means cranberry sauce season will soon arrive. I’ve tried making fancy sauces & sugar-free sauces, & while they’re very, very good, I like basic so I follow the recipe on the bag. It recommends to boil them for ten minutes, stirring occasionally, but I like to mash them during this time. [...]
This past week was filled with lots of Halloween festivities, especially in Rylee’s classroom. I have to say, I cannot even begin to explain how happy it makes me that their parties, treats, candy, etc. is so very limited in the classroom. Where other parents were making Halloween-themed cupcakes & sweet treats to take in, [...]
