In our household, we try to live without palm oil as much as possible. We rely on recipes without palm oil.
Our son gets sick from anything with palm oil. To be in solidarity with him, and because of the environmental concerns and the ways companies try to hide palm oil, our family avoids it as often as possible.

We cook from scratch often. Because palm oil is in pre-made desserts, we bake everything from scratch.
We are adding palm oil free recipes to help others make easy meals and desserts and to rely less on processed and convenience foods.
