List of hidden gluten & dairy ingredients, plus “Flavorings”

November 5, 2014 By Jessica

Updated with notation on whether each ingredient is gluten or dairy.

There are so many everyday household products that contain gluten. So many. Things like price stickers, stamps, envelopes, medicine, vitamins, protein shakes, energy bars, even toothpaste. Although most stamps and envelopes are now gluten free, there are still some older brands that contain gluten (a call to the company can verify this). Soaps, shampoos, cosmetics, lip balms, children’s stickers, mouthwash, detergents, lotions, moisturizers, and sunscreens can also contain gluten. Manufacturers don’t always clearly label their products “gluten free” or “dairy free”, which is why we quickly need to become a label-reading aficionado! We love Acure shampoo, face wash, moisturizer, and scrubs. Himalaya or Epic Dental Toothpaste. Health Food stores carry allergen-free brands, but I find products to sometimes be cheaper on Amazon.com read more

Allergen-Free Halloween Candy List

September 12, 2014 By Jessica

Allergen-Free Halloween Candy List

Halloween is right around the corner. The holiday of sugar, sugar, and more sugar. Not that I’m complaining, but living with food allergens doesn’t allow for an impulsive sugar fix so I’ve put together a good long list for you.

We can’t just go into a store wanting some candy without reading every single label only to find there isn’t anything we can have. Yep, I’ve been there too. read more

Contributed by Jonathan G.

There are some fruits and vegetables that are higher in pesticides than others. These are the produce we should buy organic. The cleanest non-organic produce according to testing by the Environmental Working Group are onions, sweet corn, and pineapples.

Some of the dirtiest produce on their list are apples, celery, and red peppers. read more

Allergen-Free in NYC

May 10, 2014 By Jessica

Contributed by: Jonathan

While in NYC we got to see the wonderful city and eat. With so much to see one gets hungry. With all the gluten free, dairy free, and soy free options it wasn’t hard to find places to eat. New York has a great selection of allergen free places. Before I head on over I call ahead to check on the selection they do have for allergen free diners and if it is still available. Restaurants come and go in NYC so call ahead. read more

Sustainable fish and mercury levels in fish

September 1, 2012 By Jessica

Monterey Bay Aquarium has a great comprehensive list of which fish are sustainable and which we should avoid eating due to over fishing. If you are ever on the central coast of California, you must visit the Monterey Aquarium, it is just spectacular with the largest amount of marine life displayed in the country. For an additional fee, you can also go scuba diving. Worth the trip! read more

Probiotics, Why they are so important

August 4, 2012 By Jessica

There are more bacteria strains in your body than there are cells in your body. Would you believe 80% of our immune system is in the gut. It all begins at birth. A baby born via natural childbirth is exposed to it’s mothers’ bacteria, which then begins colonization in the baby’s GI (gut) of good bacteria. As the baby grows and begins to mature many other factors come into play, like antibiotics (kills all good bacteria), chlorinated water, pesticides, sugars, overly processed foods. We begin to create a host of bad bacteria and yeast as time goes by. This snowball effect continues through our adult life which creates disease due to our weakened immune system. read more

Welcome!

Hi! I'm Jessica, welcome to my blog! I'm a wife and mother of four (all boys, including twins. Did not see that coming!) who loves to eat. Discovering food intolerances in my family and myself had me think about cooking differently with an emphasis on nutrition, but not any less deliciously. No, won't settle for that, neither will my kids! Here you will find simple, healthy, seasonal recipes we love that are gluten, dairy, and soy free. Many are also egg free, nut free, plant-based and/or grain free, given our evolving dietary lifestyle. Even though we live a life of dietary restrictions, my passion for food keeps me on a constant quest to create tasty recipes or adapt our favorite recipes from my stack of cookbooks to bring back the joy of eating again, without sacrificing flavor. Hope you find some inspiration and recipes to enjoy ... thanks for stopping by!
