What I Do Now:

Board Member, Food Allergy Fund, non-profit focused on underlying causes of food allergies.

Speaker, Guest Teacher, Research Advocate for the food allergy community.

Why I wrote a book: I was an English teacher long before I was a mother, but children changed my life in ways I hadn't foreseen. My son Eden was seriously allergic to seven of the "Big 8" food allergens. So I devoted myself to learning about this vexing modern epidemic. I began narrating my family's food allergy journey to support the food allergy community and to unpack the universal experiences of food and family: I began as a blogger and then I wrote my memoir, FEEDING EDEN: I continue to support the food allergy community by writing, speaking and teaching.

Whole Foods Gelato

Posted January 26, 2012

This fabulous looking gelato was emailed to me by a reader who wrote: "I was SO psyched to see Whole Foods was still carrying their delicious and inexpensive gelato year-round. I was even more thrilled to find healthy flavors like Vegan Chocolate, so I could feel a little better about the indulgence!" After some minimal online research it seems that Whole Foods make their own line of sorbet and gelato "in house" so anyone with severe allergies should check with servers about cross-contamination. Otherwise...YUM!
