SafeMama Review: Rice “Cheese” Slices

Filed Under allergies | Comments Off

I know, I know, how lame is this? I’m writing a review about cheese. That isn’t even really cheese. Here’s the thing: if you have a child who has a dairy allergy, sometimes it’s the simple things in life that make them happy. Like a grilled cheese sandwich. I’ve made it no secret that I’m [...]

In my never-ending quest for allergen-free alternatives to what all the other kids are eating, I stumbled upon products by Road’s End. Road’s End is an organic, environmentally-friendly company that specializes in plant-based versions of ”comfort food”. Their product packaging is all recycled materials and they strive to recycle and reuse as part of their operating procedure. What drew me [...]

Food Allergy Resource Round-Up

First, let me say that I am so not a doctor and that you should always check with your child’s pediatrician or allergist for accurate information about your child’s specific allergy. Websites can be great resources, but they are no substitution for a doctor’s advice. If you think your child has a food allergy, bring your child [...]

Last weekend, we visited my in-laws and they presented my son with his own little treat-or-treat bag stocked with goodies. Because of his allergies (and also, perhaps, because they know I’m turning into a health nut), they included these Enjoy Life Snickerdoodle Cookies. I had seen this at the market while shopping a few weeks back [...]

My little guy is still too young to really “get” Halloween and fortunately is also too young to be aware of candy. But next year, I probably won’t be as lucky, leaving me with the worry about how to handle Halloween with a kid who has food allergies. I found some good advice here from the [...]

SafeMama Review: Allergaroo Chili Mac

So I’m a full-time worker, mother, wife, you name it and I pretty much seem to do it full-time. Which means, I’m sort of… busy. My son goes to day care during week and since he has food allergies, I prepare all his meals to bring in to “school” since he can’t eat the provided [...]

SafeMama Review: Cherrybrook Kitchen’s Yellow Cake Mix

I find myself in a league of parents who are dealing with the ever-expanding problem of food allergies. Seriously, I feel like food allergies barely existed when I was a kid, and now it seems like more kids have them than not. My 13-month- old son’s particular allergies are to milk and eggs. And since [...]
