About Us
Hello, and welcome to What a Kid Likes, Food Allergy Edition! We are so grateful that you have decided to drop in on us! This blog was started because I wanted to be able to share allergy friendly products and recipes with other parents like me. When I first found out my little ones had food allergies, it was really challenging. Not because they had allergies, but because I was so very uneducated in that area, and it was also so hard to find different things for them to eat. The variety of their meals were very limited in the beginning.
I have five children, four of which have food allergies. Out of the nine major food allergies, (eggs, dairy, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, wheat, tree nuts, fish, and soy) we have to read food labels for 8 of them along with a few others like tomatoes, pineapples, melons, citrus, and corn. When I say challenging, yes, it most definitely can be in the beginning. For us, it most definitely was, but things have changed a lot since then. Ten years, lots of communicating with their pediatrician and allergists, along with loads of research has brought us a long way. There's still so much information out there for us to learn and so many products to try! Come join us on this journey and make new friends as we grow together, learn together, and share allergen friendly recipes and products for our loved ones.
