Rylee's Story: Hi! My name is Rylee Christian and I’m 16 years old. I'm a sophomore near Sacramento California. I was diagnosed with food allergies when I was born, and I’m currently allergic to dairy, eggs, peanuts, and tree nuts. I have always loved cooking and baking since I was young; it gave me a connection to my friends without food allergies that I was longing for. Birthday parties and sleepovers were always so hard when I was younger, and having the same safe food made me feel included, which is why I have a love for food and recipes!
