Kelly is a mother of five young children in suburban Chicago. Her second child, John, was diagnosed at age one with severe dairy, egg, peanut, tree nut and legume allergy. He also is asthmatic, so the likelihood of a life threatening reaction from food is increased. She has spent a few years learning the ins and outs of food labels, ingredient and product information, and most importantly, how to cook and bake for not only her son, but for the rest of her family as well. It has become her life’s purpose to raise awareness and increase funding for food allergy research. She is passionate about not only keeping her son safe, but alive. A food allergy diagnosis is scary; it is the fear of the unknown that keeps moms of food allergic children awake at night. The Food Allergy Mama’s Baking Book contains recipes that are completely nut, egg, and dairy-free and that can stand up to their original versions. Children with food allergies no longer have to be excluded while their friends eat scrumptious baked goods.

Best to you Kelly & a great cause!!

There are few emails I look forward to regularly, but Kelly’s Food Allergy Mama E-Newsletters always inspire me. Kelly’s emails always have good information delivered with wit, charm, and soul. She motivates me to keep with the fight for “The Fair for All.” Even though she is in the trenches with food allergies, she remains committed and upbeat. And her recipes are devine! In addition, she remains crazy busy as an advocate for those with food allergies both locally and nationally.

I vote for Kelly Rudnicki. She really is making a difference! After my child was diagnosed with multiple food allergies, I tried many “allergy-free” desserts and meals for my child. They tasted “okay” at best. But Kelly’s recipes taste so good, that my whole family enjoys eating them. Her recipes are awesome and her blog is too. Her blog is very educational and the comments her readers leave make me realize that I’m not alone as I navigate with my daughter through school, trying to keep her safe. Most people don’t realize how serious food allergies are and Kelly really brings out that awareness to people.

I vote for Kelly. Thank for you for sharing your wisdom and recipes with those of us who also have children with food allergies!

No food allergies here, but we’re on a restrictive diet for other health reasons. It’s tough, especially because of the social ramifications (esp in the classroom setting). My vote goes to Kelly.

I vote for Kelly. It takes a lot of time and energy to have a child with allergies. She certainly goes above and beyond. What an amazing woman in both what she has accomplished and the fact that she shares it with others!
