Yep! It’s my birthday today and I will eat my gluten, dairy, nut and seed free cake that my daughter made with her pal. Can’t wait. My friend took my daughter and her son to Whole Foods Market and found a Namaste Foods chocolate cake mix that meets all the needs of our allergic family.
Sadly, I also have in the fridge, the grown-up cake full of dairy from a bakery! This is the one time a year, momma does get to have her cake and eat it too!
Hope your day was grand!
Birthday update: my 8 year old created a birthday breakfast chair complete with fake flowers sprayed with air freshener. Oh my.
One of the hardest things I find about managing both life threatening food allergies and asthma is talking to others. I hate to be the one that might be perceived as demanding, pushing or for asking too much. What I now know, fourteen years later, is that honest, clear information presented with kindness works!..
