Avoid Expensive Food Sensitivity Tests and Test Yourself in Minutes

School is beginning again next week and my children’s preschool prohibits packing any kind of nuts in their school lunch.  This is challenging for me since I like to include nuts into our diet.  I can not even include baked goods with almond flour in their lunch, which I do cook with on occasion.  My children don’t have any food allergies that we know of, but it is no secret that a raising number of children and adults in the US today do have food allergies, very severe allergies.  And, many nut allergies can be scary since they lead to anaphylaxis.    Testing for food allergies can be expensive.  If not expensive for your pocket book, they may be expensive for your insurance company which will in tern increase your costs.

Soaked Oatmeal Blueberry Cakes {Gluten Free}

Soaked Blueberry Muffins

We had a very wet summer up here in the mountains.  It was so wet that blueberry season was very short and those yummy berries began to rot on the trees.  It was a sad day to find out that those tasty berries were just turning into a mushy, decaying mess.

Before the berries began rotting, we did some picking and I did get to make some lovely fresh berry treats.  Fresh berries are just one of those glorious bounties of summer.  We still have tons of blueberries to spare hiding in the freezer, but the fresh ones taste so amazing.  I was hoping that they would last into at least part of the winter, but I don’t know if we will have any left even into part of the fall.  My children love blueberries and have been eating them by the handfuls since we had our first pick on July 4th.  We may just have to make picking on the 4th a regular family tradition.
