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 »
You may recall that last year I was able to speak to the Nevada Legislative Committee on Healthcare during their public comment portion regarding a proposed bill that would allow for school access to epinephrine. The bottom line is that epinephrine saves lives when administered quickly and appropriately. Nevada is on the cusp of joining … Continue reading »
This eggplant/aubergine dish is deceptively simple but we have eaten it as a side dish, snack, and even a topping for brown rice. Does anyone else call eggplant “aubergine” or is it just those of us raised in households with European and/or Middle Eastern backgrounds? Now I do know someone who is allergic to eggplant and eggplant … Continue reading »
The day of the Recycled 5K I took E and R to Acacia Park for a free plant project event presented by the Nevada Master Gardeners. The kids got to make garlic necklaces (with real garlic, luckily I love the smell of fresh garlic), plant snapdragon seeds, and generally get their hands dirty.

This was our second year participating and I have to say the turnout and number of booths seemed higher than 2011. I also had more fun not only because of the fantastic friends that joined our … Continue reading »
I really try to stay positive here since I view the recipes, activities, and stories I share as a keepsake for my children someday but even I am not positive all the time. The world isn’t always a positive place either. In fact, a dear friend texted me a few weeks ago to vent that there … Continue reading »
Good afternoon Madam Chair and members of the committee. My name is Homa Woodrum, and I am an attorney here in Las Vegas but first and foremost I am a mother of a child with multiple food allergies. My daughter tested positive at about 15 months old with allergies to: wheat, soy, milk, egg, peanut, … Continue reading »
I always suggest this cool summer salad to people when they are looking for a way to spruce up their quinoa (a wonderful staple all alone) and yet I’ve never posted about it! Quinoa makes a great stand in for the usual tabouli base of wheat bulgur (E is allergic to wheat as you may … Continue reading »
I can barely remember what it used to be like to just eat what I felt like eating without worrying about safety. I am sure reading labels is better for me now than random eating ever was but a lot adjusted after E’s food allergy diagnosis. My greatest struggle has been with breakfast. None … Continue reading »
