I'm Back!

I've been MIA from the blog for almost a year now. But I'm back...because now I know I need to focus on what I love.
  • I love discovering new ways to use food as a fuel.
  • I love helping people with food allergies find good food solutions.
  • I love helping kids with food issues feel included.

So, as long as I'm back, let's fill in the back story.

I have had environmental allergies all my life. As a teenager, I was very allergic to corn. I thought I "outgrew" it, so I started eating corn again.

Fast forward to me as an adult, I was feeling generally crappy. With the help of a nutritionist, I did a food elimination diet. Turns out I don't tolerate gluten, corn or dairy. I really know about it when I slip up, so I manage my food concerns very carefully.

I also have a daughter with Celiac Disease and a severe egg allergy.

All told, our family dinners need to be Gluten Free, Egg Free, Dairy Free and Corn Free. :)
Thus I have learned to read labels, to cook, and to plan ahead.

There is more for me to learn. But I do already have a big bag of tricks to share.

I can't wait to share some with you.
