Knowing how to prepare for an allergist appointment and what to expect can help soothe some of the anxiety you may be feeling. 

Even for a family juggling food allergies, seasonal flavors and fun twists on old favorites can still amp up your Halloween meal plan!

How many different color pumpkins have you seen on store shelves this year? From solid hues to patterns and plaids, from plastic to fabric and everything in between, the patch of pumpkin décor has expanded well beyond the natural orange and white hues you may grow in your own garden. Some of these variants are plain old fun. However, one in particular hue, the teal pumpkin, carries its own special meaning.

It’s the season of wheat-laden pie crusts and crumbles, dairy-based caramel toppings, and those crunchy nuts finding their way into baked goods and the edges of dipped apples. It can make one wonder if there’s any way to avoid allergens and enjoy the seasonal treats. Of course, our answer is the same as always – yes! With a little preparation and home cooking adaptation, of course.
