So Delicious Dairy-Free CocoWhip - An Allergy~Friendly Addition for so MANY allergy~friendly reasons!

Whipped Cream makes SO many things better! Pie.. banana splits.. hot chocolate.. hot toddies! But IF you're dairy-free, this delight may seem impossible.  Some time ago, I was lucky enough to win an 'ice cream party' (results of our school taste testing to come soon!) and the opportunity to try some new products from So Delicious!  Let me say that their NEW CocoWhip received FIVE stars from my taste testers!!

Here's a product which may MAKE YOUR DAY too.  It is also states on the packaging: soy-free, certified gluten-free, vegan, parve, kosher AND non-gmo project verified!

Earth Balance Offers a Vegan Mac & Cheese Many Will Enjoy

I know that I am NOT the only one who considered 'Mac and Cheese' to be a household staple growing up.  As a kid, my siblings and I ate it regularly and LOVED it.  However, if you or your kids are dairy-free, it's possible this is currently NOT a regular side dish in your home.  I have tried several non-dairy varieties over the past ten years and have yet to find one I thought tasted even close to the 'mac and cheese' I grew up eating.  Until now.

Vanilla Bean Chia Pod- Gluten-free, Vegan and FUN

Eliminating gluten, dairy, soy, corn, caffeine, wine AND sugar for 28 days.  Why? Because two of my dearest friends convinced me it would be cleansing and FUN.  It's been 3 days now, and I realized I have an addiction.  NO, it's NOT wine!  It's SUGAR.  Now I understand why people say it's more addicting than crack.  

So there I was, browsing through Huckleberry's today trying to find SOMETHING to satisfy my sweet-tooth and I came across a gluten-free, vegan, NON-GMO Certified, refrigerated treat.  

Even better, is that it included 3g of Omega 3 and 5g of fiber (20%DV).  Okay.. decided to give it a try.

Mama Baretta - Allergy Friendly Product Ideas

Are you living in Sonoma County? Familiar with the Sonoma County Harvest Fair? If so, then you couldn't have missed the commotion around the fact that a 'gluten-free' product won BEST OF SHOW against 'wheat based' products in the Fall of 2012! 

This local Mama's speciality is a multitude of delicious tasting, vegan, vegetarian, preservative-free and gluten-free products. From someone who IS NOT gluten-free, I think these products are delicious. Breads, cookies and scrumptious pastries. Award winning, organic ingredients, family owned and operated. What's even more amazing is that many of these products are also soy-free, egg-free, peanut-free AND sometimes dairy-free.

GoBar - Gluten-Free, Wheat Free, Vegan Snack Bar Options from Boise Entrepreneur, Carson Ramos

Amazing how you make personal connections in the most unexpected places.  A little over a month ago I was setting up 'Joe2U', a mobile coffee delivery service, for our school staff during 'Teacher Appreciation Week'. This local business delivers specialty coffee drinks and smoothies right to your business doorstep.  

Turns out the owner, Carson Ramos, is a fellow entrepreneur.  Seems as though one business is NOT enough to keep her busy.  After having tried her great tasting and healthy products, I am thrilled to help her as she launches her personal product which include all-natural, wheat-free, gluten-free, vegan and sometimes nut-free snack bars.

Food Allergies, Food And Fun in the Classroom for Valentines Day

What you will need - Smart Allergy~Friendly Education

There are many people who think food should be banned completely from the classrooms, especially those managing food allergies.  I say, think outside the box and you can still have a great party!

As homeroom mom for my son, here is what he and I did last night to prepare for his Valentine's Day celebration today.  He LOVED getting all of this together.  

Even better is the pride I know he feels when we bring things in that EVERYONE can enjoy!
