Food Bloggers Against Hunger, Take Your Place
How do you stretch a grocery budget when specialty bread costs $5.99 a loaf? I’ve thought that many many times. However, I’ve not been in the position of choosing between going hungry or feeding my child. During Hurricane Sandy, I wrote about going to the shelters to see if there was anyone in need. Now, […]
Tapioca Pear Cake Allergy Friendly, Gluten-Free, Five Ingredients
This recipe grew out of my recent meeting of Jenny Sprague, whose blog is Multiple Food Allergy Help . Her food allergic child, who also has cancer, is on a low-foods diet as they try to figure out what foods he can eat. She explained this to me over dinner (dinner at The Strand courtesy […]
National Margarita Day!
Let’s face it, it’s Friday and add to that National Margarita Day and we almost have a party. Apparently everyone knows that I love Margaritas because as soon as California woke up this morning, my mailbox and text messages were buzzing with a fervor not seen since, well, you get the idea. Sloane Miller was […]
Roasted Chicken, Recipe, Cybele Pascal’s “Allergy Free and Easy Cooking”
This past month on Brooklyn Allergy Mom’s Facebook Page, I’ve been conducting a give-away of Cybele Pascal’s book Allergy Free and Easy Cooking (available Amazon or at any fine bookstore) published on Ten Speed Press, which, if you read my review of it, is a must-have book for any family looking to get food on the table […]
Allergic Solutions Waffle and Pancake Mix
There are very few mixes that I find work with my varied and restrictive diet. Allergic Girl Sloane Miller gave me some “Allergic Solutions Waffle Mix” and, not having a waffle iron, I decided to make them as pancakes. Knowing what I now know about egg replacers, I decided to use flax seed for the […]
Tacos, Tortas and Tamales by Roberto Santibañez
I first began my love affair with Roberto Santibañez’ cookbooks five years ago (click here for my 2010 cookbook review) when I was looking for Mexican food that I remembered from Los Angeles, and was unable to find it here in Brooklyn. Roberto’s previous cookbook, Truly Mexican, concentrates on sauces, the key to Mexican cooking, […]
Bela Sardines Locally Caught
Four cans of Bela Sardines were recently sent to me by the company for review. I was very appreciative, since I am a fish lover, and have great memories of summers fishing for Blue Fish in the lakes of Wisconsin. I can still remember to this day how tender and fresh they were. Bela Sardines […]
Healthy Pumpkin Cookies Kid-Friendly
You know the scenario, at the last minute you were asked to bring cookies to your gluten-free, allergen-free child’s classroom that have an autumn theme. But since being diagnosed with multiple food allergies, you have no idea if the kids in the classroom will even LIKE the ‘new normal’ gluten-free, allergen-free cookies. Sound familiar? This […]
English Muffins Top 8 allergen-free and gluten-free
In my previous post I reviewed Colette Martin’s book “Learning to Bake Allergen-Free” (you can order the book from amazon here) and wrote of a little gem in that book: her English Muffin recipe. With Colette and her publisher’s approval, I’m sharing her recipe along with my changes. Make sure you put aside three hours […]
Learning to Bake Allergen-Free by Colette Martin
Blogger and cookbook author Colette Martin is the Vice Chair (I’m Board Chair) for Kids With Food Allergies Foundation. So when she sent me a copy of her book, “Learning to Bake Allergen-Free” (published by The Experiment) I was happy to receive it, and promised to review it. The forward is written by Stephen Wangen, […]
