Allergy Kid Update

Wow, it's been a few years since we've updated this blog. So much has happened in the last 8 years (!!), but the most important is that Allergy Kid is still doing well. He is now 10 years old and thriving. He has had no problems with his heart since the repair we talked about in our last update.

He has outgrown some allergies over the last few years, but is still allergic to Milk, Beef, Pork, and Lamb.

One new resource we've found is a summer camp for allergy kids. Our Allergy Kid has attended the last two years. Based in Oregon, this weeklong sleep away camp is free from the top 10 allergens and allows kids to have a really normal camp experience. Check out Camp Blue Spruce.

The whole reason we originally started this blog was to share recipes, please enjoy these dairy free waffles. They are based on a recipe that Allergy Kid's grandmother used to make for me when I was a kid. There is also a well tested egg free version of this same recipe. I will share it soon. Hope you enjoy!

Milk Free Waffles

1 3/4 cups of all-purpose flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 beaten egg yolks
1 3/4 cups of plain or vanilla soy milk
1/2 cup of vegetable oil
2 stiffly beaten eggs

Mix dry ingredients in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, combine egg yolks, soy milk, and oil. Stir well. Quickly add liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients, stir just until mixed. There may be small lumps. Do not over mix. Carefully fold egg whites into batter. DO NOT OVER MIX. Bake on a hot waffle iron until golden brown. Serve hot.
