Labor Day is coming, and so is the end of summer. So the recipe for the week fits into the Labor day grilling. I love pineapple and grilling it in foil sounds so yummy!! You can make the pineapple in the grill or oven and eat it as a side dish or dessert. Just try it!! Here is the link: Pineapple in foil
I am always looking for healthy food to feed Little J. Especially on the go. So when I saw the ReBar and read the ingredients, I thought why not try this bar? The original ReBar is just packed with fruits and vegetables. I was a little skeptical as to whether Little J would like it or not. But after the first bite, I knew he was into it. And listen to what’s in the ReBar: Apple, Carrot, Spinach, Alfalfa, Cabbage, Broccoli, Kale, Celery, Rosehip, Parsley, Cauliflower, Cucumber, Beets, Bell Pepper, Collards, Watercress, BokChoy, Tomato, and Garlic. I can’t believe Little J would eat anything with even a little of some of those veggies in it!! So shhhh! Don’t tell the kiddos. Just let them try it and see if they like it too!

Little J has FINALLY started going pee in his potty! Yea!! Because he has been doing so well, my husband and I wanted to take him for a treat. So we went to In-n-Out last night and ordered him a burger (plain with ketchup) and an order of fries (which I shared with him. Being the food allergic two-year old that he is, Little J has been a little picky about food lately. I was honestly expecting him to take the meat out of the burger and leave the bun.
He took his first bite…..and then he scarfed the burger. Every crumb! Then he went in for the fries! Little J likes food. He loves veggies and fruit. But this was astounding! I have never seen him go at anything the way he went at this burger!( I swear they are not paying me)
Anyway, In-n-Out is peanut free and the only eggs and dairy are in their cheese, special sauce, and milkshakes. So check it out!
Q: What is this SPEWD Butter you refer to in your recipes and where do I get it. I’ve been looking for a product like this forever.
A: This is the question I get asked most frequently. I make SPEWD Free Margarine at home and you can find the recipe on the SPEWD Free.com recipes page. I will also post it here today! Let me know how it works. Also, please email me at heather@spewdfree.com if you would be interested in purchasing a pre made version of this product.

Last night I made an Asian Stir Fry sauce that was easy and yummy! You can make it with soy sauce or use my No Soy Sauce recipe to replace the soy sauce. I cooked chicken and Asian veggies in the sauce and dinner turned out yummy (and it was so easy to make!) Check out the recipes for the Stir Fry Sauce and No Soy Sauce here: SPEWD Free Recipes
Please forgive me for disappearing for a week. I got a last minute opportunity to go spend a week on the beautiful Big Island of Hawaii (Thank you again to my in-laws!!). So we all packed up and went. All I can say is, I LOVE Hawaii.
Ok, so now for the new find! Like I said, the trip was last minute and I knew I was going to need breakfast and snacks for Little J. So I started scouring the health food market. One of the things I came across was Phil’s Power Pancakes. The store I went to was almost out of them, so I bought two different flavors: Chocolate Chip Hempseed and Cranberry. These “pancakes” ( I think they are a cross between a cookie and pancake) are free of wheat, dairy, eggs, peanuts. They are all natural and healthy and yummy! Little J really loved it! They are kept refrigerated, and Little J ate his straight out of the package, but I have heard that Phil’s Power Pancakes are especially yummy grilled and topped with syrup. We will try that next! For information and to order Phil’s Power Pancakes, click here Phil’s Power Pancakes
Q: Many of your recipes call for “Oat flour, Tapioca flour, Rice flour….”
Can those same recipes use just plain white flour?
A: Of course! I try to come up with recipes that are very allergy friendly. But if you can have wheat, by all means use wheat flour!

I love Ambrosia Salad. It reminds me of summer. But Little J has never had it, because it is traditionally made with mayonnaise. So here is the allergy friendly version made with coconut milk : Ambrosia Salad
Let me know what you think!!
Ok, so we haven’t tried these because Little J is allergic to eggs, but they look great! Ian’s Natural Wafflewiches! They are gluten and nut free. They come in two varieties: Egg and Maple Cheddar and Maple Sausage and Egg. Both are egg sandwiches on waffles. Sounds yummy! Let me know if you have tried them and what you thought!
