Allergy free chex mix

To be clear – this is not healthy just because it’s allergy free.  Also, it’s not something I’d feed to P even though he “could” eat it.  It’s 100% trashy snack food that happens to be delicious.  Enjoy! Chex Mix [gluten/wheat free, dairy free, soy free, peanut free, tree nut free, sesame free, egg free, vegan, FODMAPs friendly] *based not he OG recipe here Ingredients: 3 cups gluten free chex cereal (rice or corn or a mix) 1 cup gluten free pretzels (I love glutino but there are tons of brands) 1 1/2 cups popcorn… Read more >

When one family member falls sick

…they all follow suit.  At least that’s what I’ve heard.  I think I got too cocky with our family’s immunity recently.  Lots of friends and their kids have been getting sick and until this past weekend P really never caught anything.  I wanted to credit his incredible immune system (which is probably always in hyperdrive given his numerous allergies) but I was just lucky.  Or rather, we were just lucky.  You see I now understand what they mean when they saw “kids are petrie dishes” and “when one kid gets it, everyone else will too”.

Toddler food ideas and tricks

I could write for forever and ever (bragging) about my son, but I’ve deliberately tried to keep things to a minimum on HHH because (a) it’s not usually helpful for other parents to hear about what milestones various kids have reached at what age because the comparison trap for parents is probably the worst kind in existence (to which I don’t want to contribute) and (b) many readers don’t have kids and probably don’t care about my little mister’s stuff.  And if I’m being perfectly honest there’s a third factor (c) which is the obvious issue of… Read more >

The weekly menu

I don’t have a menu chalkboard from this past week because I only had two family meals to prepare so the rest of my eats were solo randomness.  Mostly leftovers because cooking for one isn’t worth the effort when I could just throw a salad bowl of grains and veggies and stuff together.  That’s my hippie jam.  I have pics though.  In case you wanted that.  And some of my big boy too.  Because people always want those. I don’t have many breakfast shots, but I mostly ate zucchini bread with eggs.  I did have greek… Read more >

Allergy info about Trader Joe’s chicken sausage

It took a LOT of emailing for me to get this info, so here it all is in one place for me (and others) to refer back to. The reason I asked about their chicken sausages is because they are also gluten free (as labeled) so that rules out one allergen from the get go.  The contact form for questions requires each individual item / SKU to be submitted on it’s own, so I couldn’t just ask about all the chicken sausages…I’m sure they enjoyed my repetitive submissions with virtually the same wording over and over… Read more >
