Welcome!

My daughter, Jazlyn, is anaphylactic to egg, dairy, peanuts, and tree nuts. When she was first diagnosed, I found it very difficult to find recipes and foods that didn't taste like "allergy" food. Over the last 15 years I have had a lot of fun developing and changing recipes so that they are safe for her. I love to share my recipes so that other families can realize how yummy "allergy" foods can taste. You don't have to sacrifice taste or your favorite foods, you just have to rethink how to make them. I made a promise to Jazzy that I would do my very best to find a way for her to eat any food she wants to try. So far I have been able to keep that promise. I hope your family enjoys these recipes as much as we do.

Egg Free, Dairy Free Veggie Rice

This is a very simple side dish that doesn't take much more time than just making rice. Adjust the vegetables to suit your family's taste. This was perfect for us. You could also turn this side dish into a fast and simple meal by adding any cooked meat you like such as ground beef, shredded chicken, or diced ham.



Veggie Rice

2 cups Minute rice
2 cups broth
5 baby carrots, shredded or diced small
1/2 cup frozen peas
2 tbsp dairy free margarine, optional

Microwave the rice, broth, and carrots for 8 minutes or until the rice is tender. Stir in the peas and margarine until the peas are thawed.
* If you want the peas cooked more, microwave them with the other ingredients. We liked the texture of the peas just thawed and heated from the hot rice.
* If desired, this side dish can be turned into a main dish by adding any cooked meat such as ground beef, shredded chicken, or diced ham.

  1. Food allergies seem to be on the rise and common ones include peanuts, strawberries and shellfish. Normally the body's immune system kicks in when it views a substance as harmful. An immune response occurs to fight the invader. When food allergies develop, the immune system views a particular food as harmful and reacts. The reaction can be measured, or more severe. Eating the food item triggers release of chemical signals such as histamine that lead to symptoms. In some cases, symptoms can be life threatening.. I'm consulting web health network for treatment of food allergy and I hope you also can be benefited with there help.
