Blueberry Muffin Mix

I wanted to share with you another muffin mix that we've been using for Allergy Kid. This one is a Blueberry Muffin Mix from the Chelsea Milling Company and sold under the brandname "Jiffy". This mix works well for us--the only listed potential allergen is wheat, but it does contain artificial flavors, so be careful.

This mix needs eggs and milk--we use soy milk and just skip the eggs. The muffins cook up just fine and Allergy Kid loves them. The other upside to these mixes is that we can get them at Albertsons on sale for like $0.69 a box. A lot cheaper than some of the other mixes that we've found.

Try this one and let us know what you think.

Chocolate Chip Muffins

My wife's cousin gave us a box of Chocolate Chip Muffin Mix a couple of weeks ago. We finally tried it, and boy does Allergy Kid love them!

The mix is from Cherrybrook Kitchen and states on the box that it is peanut, dairy, egg, and nut free. We add soy milk (you can use rice or regular milk depending on allergies) and canola oil (you can use a soy margarine or any type of oil) to make the mix. We found the mix at our local Good Earth store. They are a little expensive--nearly $5.00 a box, but since Allergy Kid loves them so much we got more. We also bought a box of Cherrybrook Kitchen's pancake mix to try out as well. We will let you know as soon as we try it.

Meet Us

We are the parents of a child with multiple food allergies. While we have known about his milk allergy since he was very young, we only discovered his other allergies after a visit with an allergist. The last couple of months have been something of a roller-coaster. We have learned so much that we need to change about the way we cook and eat. We have also realized that there it can be very difficult to find information for parents of children with multiple food allergies (well, unless you can afford to buy crazy expensive cookbooks...).

We decided that we could share the things that we learn with anyone who cares to look. And if you have some advice or feedback, please, let us know!
