Hives in the Kitchen

Welcome! We are a homeschooling family in Texas- so we've never been normal by any standards- but with the addition of our third little one, we have entered into the overwhelming and really unfun world of food allergies. Our little girl is allergic to egg white, wheat, soy, dairy, peanuts, sesame seeds, bananas, avocados, pineapples, melons, tree nuts, coconuts, flax seeds, quinoa, and sunflower seeds. This is our life as we stave off starvation and try to maintain sanity.

Why are my cookies green?

Here's a public service announcement from you, courtesy of one of my allergy mama friends:

When baking with sunbutter and baking soda, your baked goods can turn green!

Yes, they can! It's a chemical reaction between the sunflower seeds and the baking soda. You can go ahead and enjoy your baked goods if you can get past the crazy color. But they would be perfect for St. Patrick's Day, right??
