Mocha Brownies (eggless, nut-free, and dairy-free)
There are a lot of frustrating things to deal with when you have severe food allergies (Epipens, allergist appointments, etc.) but one of the most frustrating things to deal with is going out somewhere, seeing something absolutely delicious, and realizing that you cannot eat it. I wish for a day that I can go out […]
Avoiding a Scary Halloween
While I am not the biggest Halloween enthusiast, I have a couple of family traditions that are mandatory.

Allergy-Friendly Chocolate Chip Cookies (Egg-free, Dairy-free, Nut-free)
My first recipe post has to be one of my absolute favorite things in this world – chocolate chip cookies. For me, baking is therapeutic, and this recipe is my go-to. Baking these cookies on a cold, rainy day, Sinatra in the background, now that’s just heaven. Now I am happy to share this little piece […]
My Story
I write this first blog post a little hesitant, but moreover hopeful that my knowledge in growing up with severe food allergies can help anyone out there with food allergies of their own, or a loved one with food allergies. I was born with a severe peanut allergy, into a family that had no idea […]
