Our Tortellini Recipe
As you might suspect, cooking is a challenge for someone with a corn allergy. We have a very limited pool of safe ingredients to use. We’ve spent about 18 months, so far, sorting out safe ingredients and brands and we are slowly adding to our repertoire of available items. We have learned the art of…
Our Faith and Politics
If you’ve read our other posts, you’ve learned that corn allergy and homeschooling are big parts of our life. However, we would be remiss if we didn’t discuss the single most important thing that defines us…our belief that Jesus Christ gave His life to reconcile the world to Him. With today being Martin Luther King…
Edwards Hot Pocket Recipe
One of the most popular foods in our house, right now, is homemade hot pockets. We’ve had a few requests for the recipe, so I thought I’d take the opportunity to write it all out. Don’t worry, I hate those cooking blogs where there’s a bunch of talking before the recipe, so I’m just gonna…

There’s so many holiday traditions that involve food…feasts, desserts, baking, cookie swapping, candy, and the list goes on. However, ever since the moment we knew there were food “issues” in our family, we were determined to make sure we didn’t…
Edwards Homeschooling Life

We felt the calling to homeschool when JJ (our 12 year old) was a young two year old. It’s not something I ever thought I’d…
Allergy Diagnosis Pt. 2
In Allergy Diagnosis Pt. 1, you learned about our journey to a corn diagnosis. I thought the diagnosis was the destination. I thought that once we had that confirmation, things would be easier. Little did I know, the diagnosis was just the first mile of a cross country road trip. We knew we needed to…
Allergy Diagnosis Pt. 1
To really know the Edwards family and our lives, we have to dive head first into our allergy experience. Food allergy parents understand that one little diagnosis changes your way of living. We are fortunate to not have multiple food allergies, but we have an allergy to what I would consider, one of the most…
