Hi! I'm Maggie, your moderator for this forum. I'm a 27 year-old SAHM to my son Alexander. Alex was born 6-15-02 and is allergic to cow's milk, eggs and peas/lentils. We are waiting to give him seafood, peanuts, and tree nuts. He is also breastfeeding and so I avoid all of the same foods (in spite of my cravings )

I love to cook and experiment with new recipes. Being restricted by Alex's allergies has been an interesting challenge and I've had my share of failure and success. I do a lot of cooking from scratch but there are also some safe convinence foods I've found that are good. I'm here to share the recipes that work well for me, new recipes I come across and products we enjoy. I have an ever growing collection of cookbooks and weblinks to help us. I hope together we can support and inspire each other to meet the challenge of Cooking for Those with Food Allergies.
