let me introduce myself

hi, my name is kyle and and i'm an EpiPen mom and wife.
my husband is allergic to peanuts.
my son is allergic to eggs and peanuts.
the peanuts are easy to avoid bc i've been doing that for almost 6 years. i know which labels to look at and what to avoid. i know to use my knife in the jelly first and then the peanut butter when making a pbj. i know to sit on the other side of the room while eating my reeses. i know that the smell of peanut mms is nauseating.
but the eggs, oh the eggs. this is a new one...like, did you know the central market grilled cheese has egg in it? neither did i. did you know little ceasars pizza crust has egg in it? neither did i. did you know that i am not a "researcher" by nature, that i dislike checking labels, and that i like going out to eat because i don't have to worry about food when i do? all that is about to change for the love of one little man.
the positive side of it all: God provided this information before we left for honduras where one of the main meal ingredients is egg. and egg allergies are 85% outgrow able.
any egg free recipes or websites you love? i guess i'll start my research...

Kyle, I was blog spying from MElissa Bufe's site when I saw this post. My sister is an epi-pen mom with dairy, egg, beef, and sooo much more allergies. She has been doing this a while. If you are interested, she has a lot of info and loves to share her testimony. Here is her blog site...http://www.thetrulys.blogspot.com/
Random, I know.... but I just thought I would share! BESt wishes. You can do it!
