More and more people are eliminating gluten from the normal diet.

Fresh Fruit Cobbler

This is an easy recipe to make, and the explosion of fresh fruit flavors tastes just like summer. You can modify the fruit filling to use whatever you have on hand (apples, nectarines, etc.). The topping is nice and light, and you will not miss the butter found in other cobblers, I promise.

Hold The Eggs Please

Rashele and I elected to delve further into the depths of Mason’s suspected allergies. I say suspected because we became leery of the IgG results after reading more in depth some discouraging facts about the test and the inaccuracies that tend to occur with it. We consulted with an allergist who confirmed that the IgG is the least accurate in determining allergies for a variety of reasons.
