The Menu: Christmas is a 12 Day Holiday

Maybe not all in a row like it used to be, but between family celebrations, friend celebrations, church celebrations, work celebrations, kids' celebrations... that's at least 12 days of Christmas-ing, and folks with food allergies don't get a seasonal reprieve from their special diet. Hopefully, this will help those with food allergies, and those who care for them, navigate feeding themselves and still feeling like the season is special and magical.

Is feeding yourself starting to feel overwhelming in the Muchness of the holiday season? Check out my No-Effort Pantry Food Ideas For One post for very simple and nutritious food ideas you can eat almost immediately. Better to eat ~something, than not enough nutrition going in at all!
