Blog Post Comment❤️Bravo! Thank you!
-
Blog Post Comment❤️Thank you so much for writing this! I saw the clip & it was terribly juvenile. I was more embarrassed for them than offended for families with food allergies.
-
Blog Post Comment❤️I applaud your effort to provide education by writing this letter. Thank you very much for meeting this with a helpful hand. I have one request as you move forward in providing education and awareness-- In these discussions please be mindful that we need to educate and raise awareness that life-threatening food allergies are not restricted to those with nut & peanut allergy. Unfortunately too many people harbor this dangerous misimpression that only nuts cause life threatening reactions.
-
Blog Post CommentSo sad....you would think the Today show would want to show Americans with life threatening food allergies respect and empathy. Nothing to joke about!
-
Blog Post CommentHi Stephanie and AC - thanks for stopping by. Be sure to check out our forums and tell us how food allergies affect you.

Blog Post CommentYou know, I remember seeing Smurfs 2 for the first time. The birthday party scene had me in stitches. Of course, other parents didn't think that I should think it was funny. I wasn't offended at all. To be honest, I was laughing because I could relate to the experience! That is exactly what I looked like at birthday parties: The helicopter mom at the ready with an Epi-Pen. As seriously as I take my daughters allergies, I have had to learn to laugh at myself. I also find that if I take a...

Blog Post CommentThanks for sharing that perspective Eulie.

Blog Post Comment❤️Ellie, I agree that humor and self-deprecation are priceless tools to have at the ready when dealing with food allergies. I've never wanted to be THAT mom even when I've HAD to be that mom. The best solution, of course, is if I could zap FA out of existence once and for all.
-
Blog Post Comment❤️Cynthia, there is no doubt in my mind that one day food allergies will be a thing of the past for everyone.

Blog Post CommentNice to see this segment with Al. I wonder, did Today reach our to AAFA for help with it? http://www.today.com/video/al-...pidemic-691759171921

Blog Post CommentI picked up some Qrunch burgers to try & plan to offer them to the kids for dinner tonight. They were in the freezer section near other "veggie burgers". Complete ingredient list: organic millet, organic quinoa, organic coconut oil, organic onion, organic carrots, organic broccoli, organic spinach, arrowroot starch, organic apple cider vinegar, psyllum seed powder, kosher salt, organic garlic, non-GMO canola oil I'll report back after we do the "taste test" ...

Blog Post Comment❤️Sesame seed is non top eight allergen so it would be safest to call them directly. There are two different Synders companies One is Synders of Hanover the other is Synders of Berlin bith make pretzels so you may luck out with one if the other isn’t safe good luck
-
Blog Post CommentI have a quick question. If I submit a recipe, KWFA then owns it? If KWFA reprints the recipe or uses it, would I be mentioned as the original creator or do I loose all rights to it once I submit? Thanks!

Blog Post CommentWhat about dairy, soy and sesame seed cross-contamination? Anyone know?

File Comment❤️This is so stinkin cute! Amazing job with the table setting and styling. Thanks for sharing

File Comment❤️Thank you! I am so happy to share this one with everyone and I have to admit - this birthday cake and set up was my favorite project I have done. My kids loved the nearly 6 foot barn and farm animals I made so much that we used it as a wall decoration in their play room afterwards!

-
File CommentDespite the cake saying "Birthday Happy" (tee hee), my son loved it and it was SO tasty!

File CommentSince I received a number of questions about how I made it, here's more detailed info! http://www.mamacado.com/2013/0...uten-free-dairy.html

File CommentNot really true. Coconut was recently classified by a tree nut by the FDA, but botonists classify it as a fruit or seed. My son is severly allergic to almost all tree nuts, and is able to eat coconut. I am definitely not recommending that someone just go and give their tree nut allergic child coconut, but ask your allergist. Coconut allergy is out there, but rare.
-
Blog Post CommentOriginally Posted by nursebrown: Coconut is now considered a nut... The FDA considers coconut a tree nut; however, coconut is actually seed of a drupaceous fruit and is normally safe for those with tree nut allergies. Most tree nut allergic individuals can tolerate coconut, but it is always best to discuss coconut trials with your doctor

Blog Post CommentOooh, those look good! I haven't made roasted chick peas in a while - now I wanna go make some!

File Comment❤️Andrea, I don't use any special allergy recipes. I use regular cookbooks, then substitute out when necessary. I use Fleschman's Unsalted Margarine (dairy-free) when margarine is called for. I use a Flax Seed egg replacer (1 tablespoon flaxseed meal + 3 tablespoons water, let sit for 5 minutes. You double this for two eggs, triple it for 3, etc.). I use Wow Butter instead of peanut butter. I used Amanda's Own Chocolate chips (Top 8 Free), and I had some final bags of dairy/nut-free...

Blog Post CommentOriginally Posted by KFA Food Bloggers: # ChallengeChefLuca My Goal: To provide children with food allergies a sweet treat that can be enjoyed for dessert, or even for a fun breakfast that is free of the top 8 allergens. The kids can even help make it! Buckwheat and amaranth, both gluten-free flours, have been used in this recipe. Flax-seed is incorporated into the cake for airiness. Peach & Banana Cake by Chef Luca Della Casa This recipe is free of all 8 top allergens (milk, soy, egg,...

Blog Post CommentHi Kathryn, Hope you are well. Thank you for publishing this vegan Pineapple cake recipe. It sure looks good. I need to attempt to make a gluten free version and will do so shortly but have one query. I noticed that there is no butter/margarine/oil in your recipe and wondered if this was being replaced by one of the other ingredients. Would welcome your confirmation so that I can proceed with making a gluten free version. Thnks. Have a lovely day. Cheers mork.

Blog Post Comment❤️Hi, Mork ... I'm not Kathryn, but I did want to share that many, many times, applesauce is used as a substitute for oil or butter in low fat muffins and quick breads. I know this because my daughter is allergic to apples and we have to be careful of any sort of low-fat muffin or quick bread. I'm also hoping that our resident GF baking guru Kathy P will see this and drop in with her suggestions. Do let us know how the cake turns out! You can either update us here, or you can post a new topic...
-
Blog Post Comment❤️Mork - do you have a gf flour mix in mind for this? This is a very "wet" recipe with the applesauce and pineapple with juice. You may need to increase the amount of flour to compensate for that. I've found that to be the case when converting recipes that are low fat and have a lot of liquid.
-
Blog Post CommentHi Kathy, Noted will use 140 gram GF flour blend for each cup of gluten flour, thank you for this advice. We do have our homemade GF mix blend but will not be using that this time as one of the ingredients, the new packet of potato starch, is suspect as there was some reaction earlier & needs to be retested. For this recipe will be using a store bought GF blend. Cheers. Have a joyful day.
-
Blog Post CommentHi Cynthia, Noted, that is useful info, so my earlier concern is not warranted. Thank you. Cheers, have a great day.
-
Blog Post CommentGood luck and let us know how it works. I've been wanting to try this recipe gf too, so definitely interested in what you learn.
-
Blog Post CommentBest Pineapple Cake ever!!!... and very simple!
-
Blog Post CommentOh, I'm glad it worked out for you!

Blog Post Comment❤️As a four month old, my son was diagnosed with sesame allergy. We attempted a food challenge with his allergist at age three years. He had "severe life-threatening reaction" (doctor's words) to the smallest dose, equal to about one seed. Continuing to avoid all "natural flavor" and " spice" when companies will not disclose ingredients to us is difficult. Now, as an almost nine year old, he has never eaten in a restaurant. Navigating these school aged years is difficult and handling...
