Chia Seed Coconut "Tapioca" Pudding

Now that I have a son with numerous allergies, I've been trying to come up with new gluten/dairy/egg free snacks, that are healthy, delicious and satisfying. I'm not sure why, but my little guy seems to be hungry all the time. It has become such a challenge, especially since I'm trying to dream up well-balanced, healthy snacks, within the confines of all his allergies.

Anti-Inflammatory Vegetables Make a Healthy Healing Soup

I've been doing a lot of research lately, trying to figure out what is making my 8-year old sick, and how to heal his body. As I mentioned in an earlier post, he started suffering from severe abdominal pains several months ago, and it has been a frustrating, but eye-opening journey so far. I have learned so much, and I'm hoping to pass along any information that has worked for my son in case any of you experience something similar.

Amaranth is a Highly Nutritious Gluten-Free "Ancient Grain"

In my last post, I talked about our recent discovery that my youngest son "A" has numerous food allergies. First I want to thank all of you who have reached out and shown your support and encouragement, as it has reminded me how important family and community are when one is faced with challenges. Some of you have also shared some terrific suggestions (including introducing me to a whole world of gluten-free/special diet bloggers) for which I am grateful for. If there are any recipes, ingredients, or other information that you think might be helpful, I would love to hear from you.
