Ninja Coffee Bar {at Home} + Dairy Free Mocha Recipe

Ninja provided me with their new Coffee Bar system for my honest review:
I am a coffee addict. 
When I'm traveling for work or even at home, I could drink coffee all day long. The fella thinks I'm crazy, but even in the evenings, I find a warm cup relaxing. In fact, I'm sipping on a cup right now.
Buying "fancy coffees" away from home can get expensive, so I'm thankful for delicious homemade recipes to create them myself like my Homemade Dairy Free Mocha Coffee recipe (below)!
And thanks to the new Ninja Coffee Bar System, I have the best coffeehouse in town, right on my counter!

Udi's Perfect Gluten Free Pizza Party Night!

A few weeks ago, I shared about a "pizza party night" Little Miss, the fella, and I were having on our Instagram page. 

Udi's has partnered with Pizza Hut to offer Gluten Free pizza! And they *finally* started selling it at my local Pizza Hut store. (YAY!) Udi's graciously sent us a gift card to Pizza Hut so we can give it a try, along with some other goodies, to make the Perfect Gluten Free Pizza Party Night!

{New Product} @Planetbox JetPack Backpacks!

One of the questions I'm asked most frequently is how we store our lunches flat - either care wise or lunch bag recommendations.
Not every lunch is intricate, but when I take the time to make Little Miss something extra creative we typically send a lunch bag to keep it "neat" and organized. Thankfully Little Miss is quite accustomed to this, and bless her heart she loves showing off her Mama's creations, so she does a great job to not swing her bag all around or throw it in her locker. 
One of the reasons she loves using her Planetbox lunch containers is because of their sleek look and how they nicely keep her foods organized and divided. 
So, when our friends at Planetbox contacted us about their latest product - the New JetPack Backpacks - Little Miss was happy to test it out!

Super Hero Allergen-Free Plate {Review & Giveaway} #MySafeFamily @SafeHappyFamily

I've followed Holly & Chris from Safe & Happy Family via Instagram for some time now. They are the founders of Safe & Happy Family™ and food allergy parents.
They started their company as a way to bring a little more fun and ease to food allergy families lives. (Sounds like my kind of people, right!? We're all about focusing on the fun!) ;) 
They were kind enough to send us one of their adorable dishware items to review and giveaway choice to our readers! 

Horizon Organic GF Macaroni & Cheese #MealtimeSolutions #Ad {How to Make Tuna Goo}

I'm often asked by our readers what some of my favorite quick-fix dinner options are. Let's face it - we all lead busy lives. Managing a full-time job, website, family, volunteering, and kiddos after school activities can often leave us home late and scrambling to fix supper.
Macaroni & cheese is one of those meals. You know it will be ready in under 30 minutes, kids love it, and it's a staple to keep on the shelf in the pantry.
That's why I was so thrilled when Horizon Organic released their new Gluten Free Macaroni & White Cheddar Cheese! It's a WIN-WIN-WIN with great ingredients, delicious taste, and convenient... It's the perfect dinner trifecta! 

Gluten-Free on a Budget {Review & Giveaway!!} #glutenfreeonabudget

I've had the privilege of getting to know Chandice Probst from Gluten Free Frenzy over the past couple years.
She's a (gorgeous!!) amazing mother of three children. Not only does she run the successful website Gluten Free Frenzy, mentioned above, she's also the founder of Gluten Free Calendar.
She's an amazing educator and advocate in the Celiac & Gluten Free community. And now... an author!
Her new book, Gluten-Free on a Budget, was authored with her mother,Tana Besendorfer. 
This book needs to become everyone's go-to guide! Whether you're a veteran to gluten free living or want to gift something to a friend who's struggling with a new diagnosis, this is a wonderful resource! Recipes, tips, tricks, shopping guides, measurement equivalents, and more! 

National Hot Dog Day: WIN a #Wienervention Kit from @Applegate!

Applegate is known for their delicious natural and organic meats. Up until recently, I couldn't buy their products locally but am so happy that a couple of my stores are now carrying their yummy products - including their cheeses, lunch meats, bacon, frozen foods, and hot dogs.
Lets be real here for a minute: Hot dogs are not exactly considered "good food". We all know the brands out there that make the mystery meat logs and it can be... scary to think about. Sodium nitrates... meat hooves... antibiotics... hormones... Ick! However, they're delicious. I can't resist a grilled dog in the summer time.
That's why I'm thankful for Applegate! Their hot dogs are natural, gluten free, contain no fillers, no antibiotics are used on the animals and they're humanely raised. 
They're challenging everyone to get clean with "the cleaner wiener" by starting a #Wienervention! If you tweet or post photos with the hashtag, you could win a YEAR SUPPLY of cleaner wieners from Applegate! Not only that, since July 23rd is National Hot Dog Day, I'm giving away a #Wienervention Kit to get you started! {Enter below.}

Celiac and the Beast Book & Shirt Giveaway!

So, let me tell you a little story... when Little Miss started her gluten free journey a few years ago, I started following and finding any gluten free blogs I could to learn more and also for ideas. 
On that journey, I discovered the amazing and hilarious Erica Dermer of Celiac and the Beast. I also had the opportunity to finally meet her in person at the GFAF Expo in 2013. 
She then ventured to Vegas, like I did, for the First Food Allergy Bloggers Conference last November where she gave me a copy of her book to read and review. 

Crave Gluten Free Cookbook Review & Giveaway Prize Pack!

Cameo Edwards (a Michigan native by the way) opened Crave in 2003. It was the first gluten free bakery in the San Francisco Bay area. 

And although the bakery is now closed, Cameo decided to put all of their delicious recipes in to a 10th Anniversary cookbook! 

To my surprise, upon receiving an electronic copy (Kindle), and then later hardcopy, of the book is the recipes are not only gluten free but allergy friendly! I'll explain more on this below.

Not only am I sharing our review with you about this delicious new book, but I am giving away one copy to a lucky winner! And that's not all! We've also teamed up with Wholesome Sweetners to also include some goodies to help get you started baking!

Stack'd: The #GlutenFree Protein Pancake Cookbook {+ Breakfast for Lunch!}

Now Jess has written her very own book called Stack'd! It's a Gluten Free Protein Pancake Cookbook, and ohhhh boy, was I so excited to get my hands on a copy! 

These aren't your ordinary pancakes folks, she's taken them to a whole new level! 

Lunch Made Easy: NEW @PlanetBox Shuttle System Review! #BackToSchool

I have long coveted the PlanetBox systems. 
Their sleek stainless steel look. Compartmentalized for perfect portion control. Dishwasher safe (though I still need a dishwasher to actually enjoy *that* part, HA!). Fun magnets that are appealing to kids. Waste free and eco-friendly.
So, imagine how thrilled I was when PlanetBox offered me one of their new Shuttle Systems for review and use. 
Little Miss and I have both put the box to the "test" and enjoyed packing our allergy friendly & gluten free lunches inside! 

Food for Thought: Treat Your Valentine to Maplehurst Bakery {Peanut Free} Cupcakes!

Last fall, I was fortunate to be given the opportunity to review Maplehurst Bakery {Peanut Free} Cupcakes. Well, you can only guess my enthusiasm when they asked me to do a write-up again and try their seasonal Valentine's Day cupcakes currently for sale. Umm, yes please! (A woman does not turn down cupcakes, no sir!) 

Fresh Kits: The Ultimate Snack for the Game! By Pure Flavor {Review}

My football lovin' family was fortunate to be given the opportunity to review Fresh Kits by Pure Flavor... and just in time for the BIG GAME this Sunday! 

Skeeter Snacks ~ Totally Nut Free. Totally Delicious. {Review & Giveaway}

Meet Skeeter.

Skeeter is a squirrel who is allergic to nuts!

 

When you are a squirrel it seems nuts are the most important thing in the world.
Skeeter felt left out, so he decided to do something about it.
Skeeter created a line of snacks that taste awesome and are safe for everyone who is allergic to peanuts and tree nuts.
Guess what happened? The snacks were so good that all of the other squirrels wanted to eat them too.
Now everyone has a great snack to share. And nobody feels left out.
Anytime you see Skeeter on the package you know that what’s inside is COMPLETELY NUT-FREE and made in a facility that is COMPLETELY NUT-FREE.
No peanuts or tree nuts anywhere.

Food for Thought: Maplehurst Bakeries {Peanut Free} Cupcakes

With Halloween next week, many classrooms will be having parties and treats. For those with children in peanut free schools or classrooms, finding ready-made fun snacks can often be a challenge.

 

I was so thrilled when I was contacted about doing a review of Maplehurst Bakeries {Peanut Free} Cupcakes. Even though Little Miss is now gluten free, I thought back to her first few years of school and how I would have *loved* to have been able to quick run into a store and buy a guaranteed peanut free cupcake from the bakery department. Something my fellow food allergy parents understand, it's a luxury we do not get to enjoy freely.

 

September Savorfull Review + Recipe Ideas!

Where did the month go!?

For us, it was filled with back to school, a mini-vacation, and Little Miss' seventh birthday! Busy. Stressful. Fun. Fast.

 

One thing that was enjoyed throughout the month was our September Savorfull box of Allergy Friendly foods and snacks!

 

Kid-e Tags Giveaway Winner!

A special thank you to all who entered our giveaway from Kid-e Tags!

This Mama is on a little siesta with the fella until the middle of the week. It's comforting knowing that Little Miss has her Kid-e Tags on her belongings while I'm away. Even though she's with family, extra precaution when it comes to allergies is necessary.

kid-e Tags™ (Kid's Emergency Medical Tags) Review & Giveaway!

I first met the fabulous Julie of Kid-e Tag™ through their facebook page. I immediately fell in love with their products and mission.

Julie is a mom of two boys with food and drug allergies, so she understands the importance of communicating allergies and having that information readily available, should an emergency occur. That's why she created Kid-e Tag™.
