Gluten-Free Isn't For Me

Bug and Stephanie

I used to think I was "lucky" that I had a child who, nearly three years in, hasn't exhibited any food allergies. I really felt for fellow new mothers who were painstakingly and scientifically cutting food groups out of their own diets as they struggled to figure out what in their breast milk was adversely affecting their babies. I quaked over the stories of Urgent Care visits and EpiPen deployment that were required to deal with surprise vomit attacks, hives, swelling and breathing issues. And while other mothers sought out allergen-free crackers and cookies, snacks and meals, I bought whatever I wanted. With all the stresses that motherhood brings, going blind reading the cramped and excruciatingly tiny-fonted list of ingredients in order to make sure I don't send my child into anaphylactic shock wasn't one of them.

Pamela Ribon, a fellow former Television Without Pity recapper, is pretty much a rockstar these days. Not only does she pull some sweet television writing gigs, but she's got three books under her belt and is a bad-ass roller derby girl, and, coincidentally, so is the heroine of her newest book, Going in Circles.  Read more >

About Me: 

I am a freelance writer, editor, and sometime cheesemonger in the Bay Area. I take on all sorts of odd jobs -- Japanese culinary manga, vampire dating guides, the list keeps getting weirder -- but my most recent gig has been that of new mother. I think I might be getting the hang of it, but, you know, I'm sure that will change.

I write about picky eating, pregnancy, and whatever else strikes my fancy at The Grub Report and about local foodstuffs at KQED's Bay Area Bites. Look for my VampireSmarts and The Essential Vampire Pre-Dating Guide coming out this fall. I promise you, it's bloody good fun.
