I have making a quilt on my “bucket list” (posted originally here, I probably should update it actually) and have been doing bits of sewing and crafting since then. I’ve even been acquiring fabric for my imaginary someday quilt but never made the time to get started until now. On twitter, Libby, who blogs at The Allergic … Continue reading »
Food Allergy Awareness Week 2013
I think it breaks the fourth wall of blogging to comment in a post about the lack of posts on a blog but it has been almost a month since my last post so I thought I’d acknowledge that and give some updates on life with food allergies of late. Oh, and work has been … Continue reading »
Product Review: Mixes from Allergic Solution

Baba Ghanoush Recipe

Now I do know someone who is allergic to eggplant and eggplant … Continue reading »
2013 Red Rock Canyon Marathon and 1/2 Marathon
