My six year old son tested positive for five food allergies a little over two years ago. I was devastated. How on earth was I supposed to cook food for my family? How could I find food without egg, soy, tree nuts, coconut, and sesame seeds? There were many tears shed that first year. One very positive thing that happened due to my son's diagnosis is that I decided to eat everything he ate to see what he liked. After one month of his diet, I realized that my intestinal rumblings went away. I narrowed my sensitivies to egg and soy. My life is so much better now that I can avoid the foods that cause me grief!
Looking back, this experience has been good for me as a mother. I realized that I can cook good food--well most of the time!--from scratch that replaces all of our favorites from before. Some of these new recipes are actually better than my old versions.
I have tried to write a few blogs trying to figure out how to record my recipes and hopefully help at least one mother to shed a few less tears than I had to. I hope that my recipes will bring joy to families everywhere who are struggling to feed their families. My disclaimer though is that I LOVE DESSERT! My posts will probably be heavy on the dessert side. My husband thinks this is very funny because my BS degree is in dietetics. Life is always better with dessert.
I would love any feed back I can get! Also, if you have any recipes that you love and use frequently, please share them with me and I will post them!
Adapt Away!
