One of my new years resolutions is to eat healthier. So I have been looking for new products in the grocery store. My new favorite breakfast is Fage Yogurt. (not for those of you with dairy allergies) Fage is natural and SO GOOD!! It has a thicker consistency than regular yogurt and it comes with little sides of fruit or honey to put on top. It is soy, peanut, egg, and wheat free and all natural. SO Yummy. (I buy the 2%) check it out here :

I am always looking for new things that Little J can have, and with the holidays upon us I have seen a lot of gingerbread house kits. None of them has even been close to anything he could make, mainly because they all seem to contain eggs. So I have been searching and finally I found A &J Bakery out of Rhode Island. They sell (and will ship) a gingerbread house kit (complete with decorations) that is free of peanuts, tree nuts, egg, dairy, wheat, gluten, soy and sesame! They sell for $30, which seems a bit steep, but this year is the first year little J is understanding Christmas and I am so excited that we will be able to do this together!
Check out the link here A & J Bakery and send me your pictures if you make one. (I will be posting a picture of our gingerbread house!)
Have you ever traveled to another country and had a hard time explaining your allergies to the people who are serving you at a restaurant? Now there is a website to help you. Allerglobal lets you plug in your allergies and then choose a language. The website then produces a printable allergy card in the language of your choice. It’s really easy and could be lifesaving!

I was at Toys R Us the other day with Little J when he saw candy canes….”Candy Mommy! Candy Mommy!” and he pointed to the candy canes. My first response was, “I don’t think you can have those sweetie”. Everything is made in a factory with peanuts, right? Wrong. I looked at the box on the Spangler candy canes and saw this statement “This product does not contain peanuts, tree nuts, milk, eggs, or wheat gluten. It has been manufactured on dedicated equipment.” YEAH Candy Canes for ALL!!!! (there doesn’t appear to be soy in them either.) THANK YOU Spangler!!!
Spangler makes a variety of other candy too (including dum-dums and circus peanuts) that are allergen-safe (some of them have soy..see their website) Check out the website here: Spangler Candy
