Welcome!

           Welcome to Khloes Kaukau Kreations! I created this blog in honor of all those who have to deal with the hardships of a gluten & dairy free diet. My daughter, Khloe (4 years old), is on both gluten and dairy free diets at the time being. She has done pretty exceptional during the transition but everyday is another challenge. Being a parent of a child so young with these certain dietary restrictions poses the all time question of "Where do I even start?!?". Children that live in Hawaii have different food preferences than those of the mainland USA, which makes it a bit difficult to substitute. Please feel free to share your recpies as well! We are all in this fight to keep our keiki healthy!
