It’s been a few weeks since my last post, but I promise that my limited blogging right now will reap bigger rewards down the road as I’m busy,busy, busy creating a TON of new and amazing dairy, egg and nut free recipes for YOU. My next book is one you’ve been asking for, fast and [...]

Ammaria Johnson, an elementary school student in Chesterfield County, VA died Monday at school after suffering a fatal allergic reaction at school. She was only seven years old.

Wow, where has the time gone? I’m so sorry for being MIA the past several weeks.

I have found there just isn’t enough time, so if [...]

I love a good book, especially one pertaining to food allergies, a topic so close to many of our hearts.
