My dear sweet husband booked us a mini getaway in Woodinville at Willows Lodge Resort. Not too far so we wouldn’t be able to get to the hospital quickly, but not in the thick of our normal lives. Unfortunately, I got some bad news (well rather just news, not so much bad) about the possibly cause of my severe allergies. A blood test indicated I’m allergic to cow’s milk, chicken eggs and of all things, baker’s yeast. So while it’s not as bad as a wheat or gluten allergy, it certainly will make eating out and cooking in very creative opportunities.

I managed to eat an amazing meal at the Barking Frog that avoided all those allergens and to help celebrate the upcoming arrival of Baby Beard.
