Hello, all!

My kids and I have a variety of allergies ranging up to anaphylactic food reactions and EoE. Recently, my husband (and his sister, states away!) developed a very obvious birch pollen OAS reaction. It's been hard on my husband getting used to avoiding foods, because he never had to when we all did. His OAS extends from apples/cherries/typical fruits to raw almonds, too, so we've started baking them in granola or chex mix...seems to be enough to keep it safe and enjoyable for... Hello, all!

And, one of my favorite things about our Community Cookbook is that our members, being custom eaters, really experiment with unusual ways of doing things - which often leads to new ways to experience COOKED fruits! Check out, for instance, the many cooked cranberry relishes in our Thanksgiving feature!

Anyway, good luck with the lines if you're still out shopping, and I hope you have a marvelous and fruit-friendly Thanksgiving!!
