Ask The SPEWD Free Mom – July 22,2009

Wednesday, July 22nd, 2009

Lately several of you have emailed me with two questions. So today I am going to answer them both.

Q: Where can I find soy and dairy free margarine?

A: I struggled with this for a very long time. Sometimes you can find dairy free, soy free margarine around the Jewish Holiday Passover, but then it disappears until the holiday comes around again. SO I started making my own soy free, dairy free margarine. Click here for the recipe : SPEWD Free Margarine

Here is the second question:

Q: What kind of bread do you use and where can I get it?

A: I use Food For Life Brown Rice Bread. It is usually in the freezer section. I like to stick it in the toaster to thaw and then make Little J a sandwich. I think this bread is the best, but Food food for life makes several gluten free / wheat free varieties which you can check out here : Food For Life Gluten Free / Wheat Free Breads

To find a store that carries Food For Life products click here: Food For Life Store Finder

I hope this helps! If you have a question for the SPEWD Free Mom, email heather@spewdfree.com
