the allergy + free from show 2017
My review of the the allergy + free from London show 2017! I laughed, cried, learnt, questioned, chatted, connected and ate and ate and ate! Go if you can it is BRILLIANT!
school trip abroad with anaphylaxis, EoE & contact allergies…
Here’s a little about our experience going on the Normandy school trip – where we stored our food and cooked made all the difference! The contrast between the two residentials we’ve done in France was huge as a result.
living with Anaphylaxis
Living with Anaphylaxis does have it’s positives!! Yes, I do truly believe that we have gained more than we have lost living with severe allergies and anaphylaxis – so long as my boy carries on living. He becomes a teen today!!
halloween – a scary eve for those with severe food allergies!
With more and more children suffering severe food allergies, trick or treating is getting scarier for many parents. This is our story & why we’re hiding out at the cinema this Halloween!
necessity: the mother of invention – inventing free-from recipes
Todays post is all about our journey of creating the safe recipes we share on free2bake. Baking and creating together has been really important for Aaron and I, moving food out of the stressful scary place of allergy & anaphylaxis to a place of fun, mess, tastiness and shared joy.
sometimes all you need is less
Sometimes we feel like our children with severe food allergies & anaphylaxis are missing out, the good news is that this often provides space for us to share richer, more valuable life experiences. Sometime all we need is less 🙂
the allergy + free from show
A little round up of my day at the allergy + free from fair on Saturday. There are some reviews, a little food for thought, as well as my highlights!
tropical sunshine smoothie
Super scrummy tropical sunshine smoothie, rammed full of fab flavours to refresh on sunny days like today, and to warm and cheer you up on the grey cold ones which keep sneaking in! This smoothie is lovely, quick to make and perfect come rain or shine!
allergy awareness week
a little bit of sharing… trying to make the shift with our perception of food from foe to friend whilst living with severe food allergies which cause anaphylaxis.
absence…
…makes the heart grow fonder (I hope). A little insight into how our life has changed since I last blogged as my son who has never had an allergy to wheat becomes a little bit more like me!
Aars’ birthday :) something to celebrate!
WOOOOO HOOOOOOO!! Aars is twelve years old today and I am so grateful and proud of him!
stomach-soothing smoothie
Delicious tropical treat stomach-soothing smoothie, and why I had to invent it – the not-so gluten-free, gluten-free afternoon tea at One Aldwych. This smoothie is a wonderful help if you’ve ingested an allergen, just banana, mango, papaya, dates & blueberries in it.
