Holidays with multiple food allergies

Today is my first official holiday knowing I have food allergies. To be honest, the adjustment is minimal on this holiday because we always grill. I will have steaks, corn-on-the-cob, chips & some baby carrots. I am going to make some chocolate chip cookies from the new BabyCakes Cookbook. They will be wheat free, gluten free and egg free. I’ve heard they are quite good.

I will also be serving gluten free and dairy free hot dogs from Hebrew National. A big thanks to www.surefoodsliving.com for pointing me in the right direction for allergen free hot dogs. I would never have guessed I could find hot dogs to eat.

However, I will not be eating those hot dogs on buns. I am still searching for bread that is palatable and contains not wheat, gluten or eggs. I am going to experiment with a recipe for flat bread today. The recipe seems a bit complicated just to have bread, but if I like the outcome I can make a lot and freeze them for later.

The medications for the Irritable Bowel Syndrome have officially kicked in and I am feeling 1000% better than last week. So yes, I will be having a Happy Memorial Day. Maybe I can even go on our family vacation after all. Moreover, maybe I can actually have fun too.
