Cook Allergy-Free: Popcorn

Our Story

After 3 pretty major allergic reactions my son was diagnosed with allergies to dairy, egg whites, soy and wheat in February 2009. Right away I removed those foods from his diet, but wondered how I was going to cook for him and the rest of our family.

The attitude I had to change was to not think about the things my son can't eat, but to think about what he CAN eat. This way of thinking has made dealing with his allergies so much easier.

The quest to figure out how to cook for my son has led to the creation of this blog. It has been quite a journey, but I am determined to help my son, and my whole family, achieve optimal health.

Popcorn

We love to eat popcorn. It is a frugal whole grain snack that only has one ingredient. We purchased an air popper a few years ago so that we could enjoy popcorn as naturally as possible. Our air popper is just as fast as microwave popcorn without all of the extra ingredients and cost. We often add a little salt, but that is all.

If you are looking for an inexpensive snack that is free of the top 8 allergens then I suggest popping some popcorn.

Does your family enjoy popcorn? Do you have any allergy free toppings you like to use? If so, I would love to hear about them.

More About Me

I am a wife and mom to 5 wonderful children. My third child was diagnosed with food allergies and I have spent a good deal of time researching allergies online. I have also been modifying my recipes to be allergy-free.

I am a human being thus I am fallible. All of the recipes posted on this blog are modifications I have made to recipes or are my own concoctions. They have been tested by my family before they are posted here. I am not a dietician or health care professional. However, I am a mom who is trying to do the best for her family.

I welcome questions, comments, and advice. I hope that through my trials and errors you may find something useful here.
