Six Tips To Enjoy Wine Tasting with Food Allergies
Being a part of the food allergy community, I have found that there are many resources for parents of young children with food allergies -which is wonderful! But what happens when these little ones grow up? I hope to be a voice that can lend some advice and help not only for young children and […]
Cha Cha’s Latin Kitchen
Cha Cha’s Latin Kitchen is my new favorite, allergy-friendly restaurant for date night. My husband and I have tried to make it a point to keep date nights going since we’ve been married (turns out work, groceries, errands, and other married life stuff can kind of get in the way of that). My favorite newlywed […]
Simple Allergy-Friendly Chili
Living in Los Angeles, we do not get much of a shot at cold weather or a winter season, so I jump at the times the weather dips below 75 degrees to turn on the stove and cook. Now that we’ve had a couple of cooler weeks, I cooked up a big pot of this […]

Growing up as a child with severe food allergies and dietary restrictions, I envied the kids and parents that could pick up baked goods from any bakery or store. Staring at the bakery section in the grocery store, I wished I could pick something. Anything. But seeing the giant chocolate chip cookie sitting next to […]
Simple, Allergy-Friendly Cranberry Sauce
I have to be honest and say that the cranberry sauce has never been my favorite part of the Thanksgiving dinner. My family has always served the canned cranberries, and some members absolutely love it. Knowing that my husband loves his cranberry sauce for Thanksgiving, I thought I would try to make my own sauce […]
Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies (dairy-free, nut-free, eggless)
It’s that time of year for all things fall…candles, blankets, scarves, and all things pumpkin. While I may not enjoy my fall season sipping on a pumpkin spice latte (no dairy for me!), I will, however, be baking batches and batches of pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. Just around the end of August and beginning of […]
A Personal Note: My Life with Anxiety
I have to say, my struggle with anxiety is not one of my favorite topics to discuss, or to even think about. In the last two and a half years, I have struggled like I never imagined. This post is not entirely about my food allergies, but I am posting this for two reasons. To share […]
Salt Creek Grille
Located right by the ocean in Dana Point, Salt Creek Grille is my new favorite, allergy-friendly date night spot. Now, let me paint a picture of a beautiful evening at the Salt Creek Grille: You may enjoy the complimentary valet parking, step out of the car, and breathe in that heavenly salt-water air. As you walk […]
