This is Zackary.

It all started with dessert. When it came time to switch Zack to regular baby food, we decided to give him a banana-custard treat. This, however, gave him such a bad reaction that we had to rush him to the hospital.

Since then, we've tested him other allergens, and found that he cannot have: wheat, milk, corn, oat, barley, soy, nut, egg, gluten, casein, carrots, beef, and shellfish, among other foods.

We've been very careful about what to give Zackary. Any trace of these foods could put him into an anaphylactic shock. Since we found out about his allergies, we've been making everything from scratch.

Since then, we've been collecting recipes. Our hope is that, through this blog, we can share and distribute recipes among other families who are struggling to cook for allergy-free children as well.
