About Lexi Battershell
Founder of Our Slice of Home
I am the recipe developer, food blogger, and content creator behind Our Slice of Home! I’m an occupational therapist turned recipe developer who specializes in creating reliable eggless recipes for families dealing with egg allergies or anyone cooking without eggs. For more than 6 years, I’ve been developing and testing eggless recipes in my own kitchen. After testing hundreds of recipes, I’ve learned exactly what works and what doesn’t. Every recipe on Our Slice of Home is developed to be egg free from the start, so you don’t have to guess which egg substitute to use or hope it turns out.
What was the motivation to start Our Slice of Home?
I became part of the food allergy world, the club no one ever wants to join, when I married my husband, who is allergic to several tree nuts. A few years later, our son was diagnosed with an egg allergy, and I quickly learned how challenging it can be to cook and bake without ingredients most recipes rely on.
Like many families navigating food allergies, I spent countless hours adapting recipes, testing new techniques, and learning through trial and error.
One day, a friend pointed out how many unique, reliable recipes I had created because of our family’s food allergies and encouraged me to start sharing them with others. That conversation planted the seed for Our Slice of Home.
I know firsthand that food restrictions can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re trying to make meals your whole family will enjoy. My goal is to take the guesswork out of eggless cooking by sharing thoroughly tested recipes that are simple to make, use everyday ingredients, and taste just as delicious as classic recipes.
What can I expect?
Life is busy, schedules are hectic, and kids can be picky. My goal is to help you get simple, delicious meals on the table that your whole family will love. I live in a small town with just three grocery store options, so you’ll never find complicated or hard-to-find ingredients here. No weird egg substitutes! Just normal everyday ingredients are used in my recipes.
Education

Getting more personal!
My main roles in life include being a wife to Travis and a mom to my 3 beautiful children.
I spent many years working as an occupational therapist, helping individuals regain independence after medical crises such as a stroke. After my third child was born, we made a big move, and I transitioned to being a stay-at-home mom.
Now my days are full of cooking, cleaning, teaching my kids, developing recipes, and running this business. Always seeking to make my home one of my family’s favorite places to be. Take a look around – I hope you find inspiration for your own slice of home!
