We love Wacky Cake! A note from living at high altitude ... my wacky cake cupcakes were delicious but a bit flat and even sunken, so I dug out my cookbooks to read up on baking at high altitude, and based on that info made the following adjustments to the recipe: 1) reduced the baking soda to 3/4 teaspoon 2) reduced the sugar by a couple tablespoons 3) increased the baking temperature to 375 degrees 4) reduced the baking time a couple minutes (cupcakes I do about 18 min) After making those...

How much xanthan gum do you tend to use in your recipes? It's all a delicate balance! I've been dealing with this for the last 15 years due to my son who is allergic to milk, wheat, egg, and nuts. Thanks. Oh gosh - I don't have any experience with gluten-free baking. My guess is to follow the instructions...
This study is saying "correlation does not equal causation" to me. The hygiene hypothesis would be great except it does not explain babies born with food allergies on Day One of Life, like my daughter. We are not avid cleaners, our unwashed dishes sit around for days, we visit farms several times a year and muck about, are outside getting dirty all the time and we don't bathe our kids very often. I am more inclined to believe food allergies have something to do with the way our public...
I think we've learned no one study will ever explain everything....My DS had antibiotics the first two weeks of life, his father had a milk allergy as an infant, and much later I found out his uncle had soy and wheat, and EVEN LATER (like last year) I found out my ex-father in law also had a milk allergy as a baby and was failure to thrive.I think even if I lived on a farm and let him roll in the mud with the pigs, that combo would have been hard to overcome!
I messed up. I have to sub b. Soda/vinegar for b. Powder. Well got everything in there and cut and now baking and realized I put in b. Soda but forgot the vinegar. Cry.
Lynda, We want our kids to be included, however, for some of our kids the inclusion is hard. Mine has severe dairy allergies and asthma and so letting him be with other kids eating ice cream and pizza was impossible. I might as well sat there and called 911, the minute he got there and was around all that. The contact sensitivity or contact ingestion is VERY REAL and many don't get that point. There is very little mention of that ANYWHERE, in any allergy articles, pamplets etc. It seems to...
