Well, we had a good run. Owen hadn’t been sick at all for the first ten months of his life. No fevers. No cough. No extra doctor appointments. I consider that a pretty good run – but I knew that couldn’t last forever. About two weeks ago on a Saturday night, I noticed Owen had…Continue Reading “My Penicillin Allergy & Owen’s First Ear Infection”
I’m so excited to be sharing this simple recipe for nut-free and dairy-free Sunbutter Cup Popcorn (think Reese’s Cup Popcorn, without the dairy and nuts).

When my mom first found this…Continue Reading “Dairy-free & Nut-free Sunbutter Cup Popcorn”

I first made these dairy-free strawberry cheesecake bites on Valentine’s Day this year. I was one month away from our due date, so I was definitely not in the mood to make an elaborate dessert, or use my oven. While I didn’t have a chance to blog the recipe then, I am so happy to…Continue Reading “Dairy-Free Strawberry Cheesecake Bites”
Honestly, I had no idea I would be writing a post on labor, delivery, and allergies. I did not expect my allergies would affect my labor, delivery, and hospital stay with Owen as much as they did. Sure, I anticipated having to share my allergies when I was admitted, but I thought that would be…Continue Reading “How My Allergies Affected Labor and Delivery”
For this recipe, I must give credit to my husband, who creates and makes these turkey melts perfectly. This meal is inspired by a recipe I came across in a food magazine that I was not able to replicate exactly. Although the recipe had multiple allergens, I loved the fact that they used a waffle…Continue Reading “Dairy-free Waffle Iron Turkey Melt”
