Hey there!!! My Name is Valeri!! I am married to one kick- ass man, the proud mum to 3 awesomely unique kiddos, and a nurse… in my spare time. In my little family of 5, four of us live our daily lives with the struggles of food allergies that range from “intolerances” to Anaphylaxis. At one point my family had to avoid 60 foods!!! (For the most part, if one of us can’t eat it- no one does. I am surely NOT making 4 different dinners every night! Would you?!?!) As if that isn’t enough to make us unique, we also struggle with Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EOE), Cyclical Vomiting Syndrome (CVS), Asthma, and Eczema. PHEW!! That is a mouthful!

Our journey with avoiding allergies started almost a decade ago with a peanut allergy in my youngest son and has grown exponentially since then. Correction- thank you loving husband, hind sight being 20/20, our battle with food allergies started 14 years ago…doctors just didn’t catch on until years later. Avoiding peanuts is no little obstacle, but throw in the other allergens, making food that doesn’t taste like cardboard, surviving school parties, family gatherings, and the emotional toll it all takes to live an exceptional life with a smile – WOW!! But after all these years, we have mastered it! I am here to help you cut to the chase, so it doesn’t take an eternity for you to feel like you have it all under control! Are you ready? Pull up a cozy spot on the couch, grab a drink (water, dairy free hot chocolate, or some may need a glass of wine ha-ha) and let’s get started!
