Our eldest daughter Willa was diagnosed with life threatening food allergies at only 5 months old.  This was not only a diagnosis, but life changing experience.  In a world that revolves around ‘what’s to eat’ - from play dates to birthday parties to vacation - food is really what brings us all together and our view on food had suddenly changed.



After Willa was diagnosed with life threatening food allergies to dairy, gluten, tree nuts, seeds, eggs, and sesame, it was difficult to find foods that we felt safe feeding her, and we wanted to put her in a bubble.  This began our quest to find snacks that still tasted great and ingredients to substitute in my favorite recipes.  Day 1 was the hardest for us, and we initially felt like there was nothing for her to eat.  This was a major crash course on cooking and over the last several years, we’ve learned more than we ever thought possible about ingredients, manufacturing facilities, and cross contamination.  Today, we eat pizza, pasta, cereal, sandwiches, deserts, and all of the yummy things that we want.  Through our experiences, Live Free Foods was born.
 
Our mission is not only to provide great tasting foods but most importantly, to create a place where you can share your story and help others who may be in need.  At Live Free Foods you will read our adventures whether it be an exciting new recipe, what’s going on in the research world or day to day updates on our family’s food allergy feats.  We believe that offering a helping hand is what every person, big or small, can do to make a difference in someone else’s life.
 
We hope our passion and resources enable you to live free of worry.
