Eating with Allergies

As a parent of a teen with a peanut allergy, I understand the challenges of living with food allergies firsthand. It's a constant juggling act of reading labels, educating others, and ensuring your child's safety, all while trying to provide a healthy, diverse, and enjoyable diet. The fear of accidental exposure can be overwhelming, but with the right knowledge, precautions, and mindset, it's possible to approach this journey with confidence and embrace life to the fullest. 

Here, I'll share my experiences, tips, and recipes to help you and your family thrive while managing food allergies. All recipes featured on this blog are peanut-free, and I also consider and offer substitutions (where possible) for other top food allergens like tree nuts, dairy, eggs, wheat, fish, shellfish, and soy. From allergen-free recipes to strategies for dining out and traveling, I'll guide you through the ins and outs of living well with food allergies.

Join me on this journey as we explore the world of allergy-friendly cooking and living. 

Hey there, It's Alla + Mika here!

Mika has a peanut allergy, so you can rest assured that all recipes on this site are completely peanut-free. I'm Alla, the parent behind the blog, and I make sure every recipe not only avoids peanuts but also provides clear labeling and useful substitutions for other common food allergens.
