I'm so thrilled to finally share this story with all of you just in time for holiday parties. My article about food allergies in the classroom is now online at Chicago Parent and available in the print version of their current October issue.I've been a frequent contributor to Chicago Parent and I'm so grateful that Chicago Parent provided me this opportunity to not only address the risks involved regarding food being on offer in the classroom in so many ways, but also to provide some alternatives to food. You can see those in the article sidebar.
Also, there is a yummy recipe from Kim Lutz (fellow Chicago food allergy mom) from her new Welcoming Kitchen book. Check out Kim's blog to learn more!
Thanks to all of you who were interviewed for this story. Here's to safe school celebrations! Cheers.

Just picked up a copy of Chicago Parent while visiting my daughter's classroom. (My daughter is the teacher not the student!!)
Three out of four of my children are allergic to nuts, and two of them are teachers. I'm glad things have come a long way since their younger years, yet there are parents who still don't realize the severity of a nut allergy. Enjoyed the article!
Congratulations on having your article published, Jenny!!!
Very well written! I think this is coming with us to the 504 meeting!
