I’m a Toronto-based writer, a foodie, and most recently, a mom. Before I had even met my baby boy, I dreamed of the day we’d enjoy “Foodie Fundays” together. I imagined we’d spend Sunday afternoons—just the two of us—trying out new and delicious restaurants in the city. That dream died the day he was diagnosed with several food allergies. After I went through a mini mourning period, I decided to do something about it. So now I'm on a mission to help parents of children with food allergies find allergen-free or allergy-friendly restaurants in Toronto. That's why I created AllergyBites!
