Great piece, Loren. Our kids are older now so they advocate for themselves. But for many years we were negotiating family and friend gatherings with three Celiacs and an anaphylactic nut allergy. I usually made something my kids and I could eat that I knew was delicious and more often than not everyone wanted some of ours! Now, it seems hosts are more likely to ask, and more people are on special diets for a variety of reasons, so I would be more likely to mention—and often people do ask. Happy 4th!!!

I love hearing this, Alyson! It’s such an important reminder that food without gluten and nuts can still be delicious!
