As readers of this Geeky Dad's blog know, I'm the father of a little girl with a severe peanut allergy. In addition to writing about adventurous road trips, comic books, things I do with my kids, toys and parenting tips, I also try to use this blog as an educational outlet on the topic of food allergies (specifically peanut allergies). Here are a few of my past posts about our families struggles with our daughter's food allergy:
