Irony: a situation that is strange or funny because things happen in a way that seems to be the opposite of what you expected (Merriam-Webster).

The last time I had a blog, the foundation was rooted in my passion for food and my love in sharing food with others through explorations in travel, dining experiences, and cooking.  While certainly not funny, it is definitely strange that I find myself starting a blog because I need an outlet to sort through my thoughts regarding present day challenges with food and the impact that it has played on my family’s life.  Six months ago, my son was diagnosed with multiple food allergies at seven months old.  It seems like the ultimate irony when most of your life as you know it centers around food, as part of your being, your memories, your passion, your livelihood.  As I share this emotional journey, I hope you will gain some insight into what life is like having a child with food allergies, and if this also helps someone else in the process, hey, even better.
