A rich and creamy New England Clam Chowder recipe where we swapped Flounder for Clams.  Very subtle flavor of the sea with the flounder make this a great soup for FPIES trailing something new.

We recently wanted to add another protein to Kay’s diet.  Since she has FPIES we have to trial each new food she tries.  We’ve contemplated turkey for quite some time, but “chickened” out thanks to her Chicken FPIES food allergy.  Doctors typically say that after 18 months to 2 years you can retrial the trigger foods.  Since chicken and turkey are so close, we’ve decided to hold off for now.  Right now her only safe proteins are beef, pork, salmon, and we’re working on flounder!  

It’s a cookie, it’s a scone, it’s Chocolate Chip Scone, Cookies!

I like scones, Kay likes cookies.  So I made a combination of the two and we’re both happy!  When we went to the Gluten and Allergen Free Expo at the beginning of the month we found a few chocolate brands that don’t contain soy.  We typically used Enjoy Life Foods whenever we made chocolate chip cookies, but this time we tried PASCHA chocolate this time.  PASCHA is free of the top allergens.  I fell in love with the coffee chocolate bar I bought at the expo.   Since Kay was diagnosed with FPIES we’ve found so many amazing products and options.

Celebrating a birthday is much more fun when it’s for a little one, don’t you think?  I love making cute little things, decorating, and of course spoiling them with presents.  I feel so excited to be able to share Birthday Party Ideas and Tips for Children with Food Allergies | Disney Junior Theme is Doc Mcstuffins! Whenever we attend a party we prepare in advance due to our daughter Kay and her food allergy.  We always make sure to know the theme and buy a few plates, cups, napkins and even bring a goodie bag for the kids!

Recently we went to the Gluten and Allergen Free Expo in Secaucus, NJ.  Kay had an absolute blast.  We went last year and found Enjoy Life Foods Chocolate to trial, and has been by far our favorite food trial.  Thankfully Enjoy Life is free of most allergens and of course it’s soy free too!  Due to Kay’s FPIES she still cannot eat soy, chicken, or oatmeal.  They had a new crunchy cookie this year that we hadn’t tried yet, and Kay fell in love right away!  As soon as I tasted the Crunchy Double Chocolate Cookie, I thought.. COOKIES AND CREAM!  

Finding a safe food for your child can be a challenge, finding a safe chocolate can be even more challenging for a child with food allergies.  Most chocolate contains soy, nuts, or processed around those allergens.  My daughter suffers from a food allergy called FPIES.

Food Protein Induced Enterocolitis Syndrome (FPIES) is not your typical food allergy where you would see hives, fast reaction, anaphylaxis, these are IgE-mediated.  FPIES is Non-IgE-mediated, meaning you can’t do skin/blood tests, it’s typically an internal manifestation however more people are saying their children also suffer some external symptoms like eczema.
