Gluten Free Cheerios - Fearless Food Allergy Mom

Review of the NEW Gluten Free Cheerios!

It’s good to be a blogger! This weekend, I was an Official Blogger at the GF&AF Expo, which was a blast. (Post coming soon….) Before the event, I was in touch with the folks at Cheerios, and at the Expo, they surprised me with a box of the new gluten free Cheerios! They weren’t giving them out to anyone, nor even giving little tasting samples. But my new buddy Evan secretly gave me the bag of goods from inside the ONE box of gluten free Cheerios that he had in his possession. And now, I’m happy to write what may be...

Caesar salad dressing - Fearless Food Allergy Mom

Caesar Salad Dressing Recipe

If you have a soy allergy, that whole aisle of salad dressings at the grocery store is annoying. Why must they make so many dressings with soybean oil? And some of them are really annoying because they don’t specify which they use, listing something like “soybean AND/OR olive oil”. I don’t know why it took me so long to just make salad dressing myself. I think it’s my reluctance to make everything that we eat, and not wanting to give up on buying basic things like condiments and salad dressing. But then I realized how easy it is to make your...

Allergy Awareness Week: Tips For Having a Food Allergy Friendly Vacation

Back in April, it was Allergy Awareness Week in the U.K. I was so honored to be a guest blogger for Foods You Can, a great site based in England, where you can search for info on products, recipes and restaurants that cater to multiple food allergies. (They have sites based in the U.S. and Canada too. Check it out!) You can search by each of the top 8 allergens, as well as things like sesame free, salt free, yeast free and MSG free – it’s pretty cool. My guest post was entitled Allergy Awareness Week: Tips for Having an...

Dairy Free Ice Cream Recipe - fearlessfoodallergymom.com

The Easiest Dairy Free Ice Cream Recipe (and it’s really yummy too)

This recipe came about because I needed to clean out the freezer. And because sometimes I’m lazy and look for shortcuts. Our stupid refrigerator looks like it has a large freezer space, but it’s actually quite tiny. With all of our allergies/sensitivities, I do a lot of baking and freeze things to keep them handy. This requires regularly purging things from the freezer. A tub of frozen sliced strawberries has been taking up valuable real estate for several months, and I was annoyed that it was still there. I could have worked on a allergy friendly shortcake recipe so that...

Brown Rice Pilaf Recipe - fearlessfoodallergymom.com

Brown Rice Pilaf With Mushrooms

This brown rice pilaf recipe is so easy and tastes much better than plain brown rice. I sometimes make a pilaf dish that has ridiculous amounts of butter in it. I make that for holidays and when we have non-allergic company over, because it is yummy and traditional, but I’d like to eventually replace it with something more allergy-friendly. This brown rice pilaf is more for everyday cooking, but you could serve it with fancier dishes if you need a low-key side dish. It’s a delicious complement to main dishes, without any butter. The mushrooms really add a lot of...

Fearless Food Allergy Mom - Gluten Free & Allergen Friendly Expo

Gluten Free & Allergen Friendly Expo Ticket Giveaway!

So sometimes, all of this dealing with food allergies and sensitivities makes me feel like a crabby old lady. Going to the grocery store can put me into a funk. It’s great that there are so many gluten free and allergy-friendly products on the shelves nowadays, but it feels like I can eat like 0.04 percent of them because I’m sensitive to a million other things. Some days I don’t even bother getting my hopes up and won’t look at new gluten free products. Because of that, I’m sure there are great gluten free products our there that I haven’t...
