About amandamacgregor.com

Oh, Hi!

As the name suggests, I'm Amanda MacGregor. Originally, this blog was started as a portfolio project in one of my film school classes. I fell in love with the process of creating a website so much, that I decided to continue with it long after the class was over, turning it into a lifestyle blog.

Foodies with Food Allergies

amandamacgregor.com now serves as a place for Joe and me to share our combined and separate experiences with managing food allergies. Anyone from an allergy family unit knows firsthand how managing food allergies is a combined effort and can affect more than just the individual diagnosed. We share personal advice and routines, home living, and many recipes designed to avoid and substitute ingredients for 12+ food allergies and intolerances.

In essence, most of the food you will find on amandamacgregor.com is the food I can eat: free from corn, gluten, dairy, soy, and more.

You can also find us on Instagram, Pinterest, and YouTube.

Hugs & Cookies,

Amanda and Joe

At first, I wasn't sure what to do with this space. I was sharing with my mom some of my ideas on what I could do, when she suggested I share my experience of having food allergies, especially my corn allergy.

That is when amandamacgregor.com served as a creative outlet, combining my love of cooking and writing, while sharing my experience of having multiple food allergies.

As I look back on this time, I realize that 22 was the age when things were indeed falling into place: I was working towards a second degree, this time in media and communications, had a marketing job for a local real estate company, creating many recipes during my free time, and started dating this guy named Joe.
