WW: Why Hot Pot is the Allergy-Friendly, Interactive Meal You’ve Been Waiting For
This past holiday season, my boss’ treat to our small staff was a trip to a local hot pot restaurant. With a little effort, we were able to work around my food allergy issues, and it was a really great staff lunch. Well, except for the being too full to walk afterwards part. I started…

WW Product Review: Rhythm Superfoods Broccoli Bites
More road trip food! We picked these up at a Sheetz gas station, along with some drinks. I will say that this was some of the best gas station coffee I’ve had, so if you’re in the middle of Pennsylvania and need coffee, maybe stop there? I have not seen broccoli in snack foods very…

WW: Homemade Tick Repellent
So as many of you know, my husband and I bought a house in January so we could have a garden and grow food, have space to can and do food prep, and make all the things that I need, like soap, lard and tallow, that were really inconvenient to make in a second story balcony…

WW: Making Your Own Lifeboat
This started out to be a different post. Denise and I had gone to a public lecture at one of the big medical facilities in our area to hear an immunologist talk about food allergies. I don’t think either of us held out hope that we would be enlightened, but given our conversations after, I…

WW: Living with Food Allergies – Making Unexpected and/or Unwanted Lifestyle Changes
