I realized recently that it is stressful to have a food allergic child.  Now, don't think me naive, I have known this all along as I pack up food to send to our vacation destination. Or wonder if the class trip will provide refrigeration or whether the new packaging of some item means the recipe has changed.

But I am not the type of person who admits stress easily. Nor am I the type of person to catalog my woes to other people. I blindly go where no man has gone before. More>>>

 

Sometimes it seems that all I do is cook. Not only breakfast lunch and dinner, but many breakfasts, lunches and dinners. Every day. All day.  I figure--conservatively--I have cooked over 6600 meals in the last 15 years. That's only counting two meals a day for 10 months a year--I've shaved a number of meals for ordering in, going out, dinner at Mom's, vacations ... 

All that cooking can be tiring. Not just the banging pots and pans around, but the thinking of what to make and when and how. The planning, the shopping, the putting meat to fire--all of it ends up being too much sometimes. More>>>
