I found this delicious brownie recipe on Pinterest! What I love most about this recipe, because God knows I've gone through my share of brownie recipes, is that it's super easy and most of the ingredients are usually on hand! They have a gooey fudge like texture that my entire family loves! http://www.littlehouseliving.com/ooey-gooey-brownies.html

So I find myself so exhausted these days, so run down.  Nobody said this mom thing was easy, I know this, so why do I constantly beat myself up?!  So often I try to imagine how our life could be better and in doing that... I often forget about the blessings that we already have.  I've been so focused on what I haven't been able to give my children monetarily that

Okay, so I haven't been here for a while!  I've been busy working on my new children's book about food allergies!  I was also honored to have the magazine Allergic Living allow me to be their Story of the Month (home for the holidays).  It's been an eventful past couple of months! My book is about my daughter and I baking safe allergy free cupcakes. It's sweet and encouraging!

I can't tell you how many times I've had to make a "safe pizza", bake "safe cupcakes", frost them, wrap the gift and rush my daughter off to a birthday party! It's crazy and exhausting! Here's a simple tip that might help you avoid all that chaos! On a weekend when you don't have a lot going on... bake cupcakes, frost them, sprinkle them (because it matters) and freeze them!  Yes freeze

The Discovery channel will be airing a documentary on Food Allergies tomorrow Sept 7, 2013. Don't forget to watch with your family and friends, it's a great way to show them the seriousness of food allergies through facts and research.  It's also a great way to open up a dialogue with your child about some of their fears or expectations when it comes to their food allergies. Spread the word!

So here I am with an eleven year old sixth grader!  How in the world did that happen so fast.  Six years ago when I was preparing her for her first day of Kindergarten, I was terrified to say the least!  So many of my worst fears were racing through my head, "What if she accidentally takes a bite of something with peanut in it, What if she drinks someones cup with cows milk in it"?

Okay, we all know that our kiddos love a hot breakfast in the mornings but sometimes we're short on time... so what do you do???  Cherrybrook Kitchen has a great boxed pancake mix that's also gluten free, it's super convenient when your rushing in the morning.  I usually mix rice milk right in there and it tastes great! Oh and if you're feeling adventurous, throw in some enjoy life

  So after learning that my daughter Julia's overnight school trip included a quick stop at IN-N-OUT Burger, I panicked!  She's never been there and I wasn't sure if they would accommodate someone with Food Allergies.  After much whining and complaining to my husband about why life isn't fair and why do these things always happen to us.... I did some homework!  I

Since our last allergy test, it was confirmed that Julia is also allergic to wheat.  I was amazed at the results because she has been eating wheat since she was a toddler.  The Dr. said that if she eats it now and it's not bothering her at all, there's no need to exclude wheat from her diet.  I was relieved yet kind of concerned.  Seeing that her test results showed

If you haven't already heard, Dr. Kari Nadeau is conducting a trial to desensitize children with multiple food allergies. As scary as it sounds, feeding your child the one thing you've been trying to avoid,  just might be the answer to solving this food allergy crisis! http://www.nytimes.com/2013/03/10/magazine/can-a-radical-new-treatment-save-children-with-severe-allergies.html?smid=

With a milk allergy, you can't go to the ice cream shop for ice cream or  Jamba Juice for a smoothie.  BUT... with a Vitamix, you can make your own!  Everyone knows how expensive they can be, trust me I know, I've done the research.  I've checked all the local department stores, online and at Costco.  QVC seems to be the least expensive and they

I understand that this is not food allergy related... but I had to share. This smell is better known as the "Williams and Sonoma" smell.  It's an all natural way to fill your house with a fresh and clean smell.  It's amazing!   All you need is: A small stock pot filled 2/3 of the way with water A few sprigs of rosemary One lemon sliced A tsp of vanilla Simmer, add water if it

We just bought this Ice Cream Maker and tried using it with rice milk, unfortunately it didn't work out.  We're kind of bummed but I suppose we'll stick to Philly Swirl Italian Ice for now.  So if you're looking to buy this product to make dairy free ice cream, save your money.  I'm afraid this will only produce ice cream with heavy cream like recommended.

This morning I experienced one of my fight or flight moments.  I call it that because it truly makes me feel "physically" as if I'm under attack. Many years ago, when we moved into our home, we were the only house on the block.  Construction was still underway and it was pretty desolate once the workers were gone.  It was a very hot day and I had just taken the car for a wash.&

I searched high and low for a great salmon recipe, and boy did I find it!  I found Personal Chef Ingrid Beer's website where she had this amazing recipe among others.  First I checked to see if it was safe for my fa daughter and thankfully it was.  It is free of milk, egg, peanuts and it's absolutely the most delicious salmon dinner I've ever had!   Check out her website

I just had a reader ask me if I could submit some dinner ideas because she had a boyfriend with food allergies.  How thoughtful of her!   I can only pray that someday my daughters grow up to find someone that kind. Well, as far as dinner recipes go, I basically keep it fresh and simple.  I cook whole foods, try to buy organic and I usually roast or grill instead of fry.  As

I suppose when it comes to food allergies, it's kind of like that old saying, "When life hands you lemons, you make lemonade". Yes, it's a fact that our children cannot eat certain foods and yes it can be difficult to make mostly everything homemade BUT, it's all how you look at it.  I have to say food allergies has been somewhat of a mixed blessing to our family.  It's forced me to
