We at the Sweet Alexis Family would like to thank you for stopping by!
A little about us...
Sweet Alexis is an allergy friendly company, dedicated to not only create delicious treats free of Dairy, Eggs and Nuts, but to help create awareness for food allergies.
All of our Dairy Free, Egg Free, Nut Free products are made in a dedicated commercial kitchen on dedicated commercial equipment.
Sweet Alexis was created for Alexis and Ryan who both suffer from multiple food allergies. Although Ryan's are not as severe, Alexis' are life threatening. If any of her allergens are ingested, she can go into anaphylactic shock which is an allergic reaction that causes the throat and tongue to swell, body organs to shut down and cardiac arrest. If not given her medication immediately, it can be fatal.
Out of necessity, I created treats that were safe for my children to eat. As it turns out, they are delicious and friends and family began requesting we bring them to parties, functions, etc. Realizing the lack of delicious, safe baked goods in the marketplace we decided to create a company so it can be shared with other families like ourselves. Our full story and our full line of products can be viewed at http://www.sweetalexis.com/.
This blog was created as a way for me to share stories, information, recipes, etc. Alexis is now in 2ND grade and Ryan is in preschool living wonderfully normal, well adjusted, fulfilled lives. We have an amazing support system and live in a community that respects and understands the severity of our situation.
It hasn't always been easy and at times sad and scary. We've made adjustments and at times made mistakes, but my hope in sharing these experiences with others is to offer a bit of support or inspiration.
Thank you and welcome,
Michele

Hi! I just found you online and cannot wait to try your goodies!! My son, Ryan, has dairy, soy, egg, and nut allergies so we are always trying to find new things for him to eat. I ready your story about Alexis and the similarities between what I went thru w/ my son and what you went thru w/ Alexis are so similar, I could have written the story myself...from the breastfeeding, to the formula, to the mystery of what the heck was going to to the ER visits. It was a struggle...you know!! Anyways, congrats on the new products..they sound delicious! Also...kind of funny/ironic, but I am having a baby girl in a couple months and we are naming her Alexis. Too funny! Take care!
