Sometimes I just need a sweet treat - an EASY-to-make sweet treat! Enter this churro chex mix! Sugary, cinnamon-y, crunchy bites of goodness! I must confess; I don't 100% adhere to my daughter's allergy restrictions - sometimes I splurge (and usually end up regretting it). And one thing I always come back to is a … Continue reading Churro Chex Mix
Pizza Night!! With allergies, it can be HARD to find a good tasting (and decently priced) pizza crust.

I love banana muffins! I mean, who doesn't?! All the banana goodness with a sweet, crumbly topping - brb while I go bake another batch!

Birthday donuts are a big deal in our family.

Tacos are one of my favorite foods! So, naturally, I think it would be great if my daughter loved tacos, too!

However, she does really like … Continue reading Quinoa Tortillas
Store bought taco seasonings are super convenient - the only problem: our favorite taco seasoning had corn starch as an ingredient. Since corn is one of our daughter's allergies, I began experimenting with making our own - we had almost all of the same ingredients in our cupboard already anyways. For a long time, my … Continue reading Homemade Taco Seasoning
My two year old LOVES cereal - so much so that she asks for it every day for breakfast and for supper! So, I thought why not turn it into a tasty treat!

To recap year one, we learned our daughter is allergic to eggs, dairy, peanuts, tree nuts, dog and cat dander, and dust mites. During this time of eliminating these foods from her diet and trying to figure out how to deal with the dander and dust mites, we definitely had more questions than answers. How … Continue reading Our Journey: 1-2 years
It all began with a diaper rash when our daughter was just one month old. A nasty red diaper rash with an open sore that would not go away. (Oh, and lots and lots of gas!!) After multiple trips to the pediatrician and dermatologist, special creams and steroids, bleach baths, and lots of tears, I … Continue reading Our Journey: 0-12 months
