The second stop on our #EatFreelyUSA tour was the "Windy City" of Chicago! Chi-Town, Chicagoland, the Second City, whatever you like to refer to as, Erica and I had a blast exploring.

Not only did we visit awesome tourist destinations, we also found some delicious gluten free & allergy friendly eateries. Check out the video in this post below and see for yourself!

The first stop on our #EatFreelyUSA tour was Nashville. I had never been before but it was for sure a city on my bucket list - I couldn't wait for the music, the history, and the FOOD.

Erica and I managed to eat our way through the city and even attend an award show while there. We found tons of delicious gluten free & allergen friendly eateries aaaaand may have also found a karaoke sound booth. Maybe... we'll see if that video ever surfaces.
Years ago, when Little Miss was first diagnosed with food allergies, there were not all the resources we have today. Looking online, I'd find little information that was reliable and what this mother needed in order to feed her baby and feel secure.
One person I did come across during that research, was Cybele Pascal. Her books were some of my first comforts during a new scary time of our life.
Fast forward, now Cybele is sharing her experiences through baking and food allergy motherhood in her line of delicious Free-To-Eat Cookies.
We've shared about these gems before, but I don't mind taking some time to do it again... and while we're at it GIVE SOME AWAY to FIVE lucky people!
Welcome to Day 2 of our Pack a Healthier Lunch week thanks to Pacific Foods!
In case you missed yesterday's post, we kicked off the week by starting a giveaway and including a yummy recipe for gluten free & allergy friendly Tomato Soup Carrot Muffins. Be sure to check it out!
Today's recipe is one of my favorites: A smoothie! I make myself a smoothie almost every single day. Sometimes I make them fresh in the morning and drink them on the way to work. Other times I make a big batch ahead and freeze them in plastic freezable jars so that they're perfect by lunch.
That's what's so great about our recipe today - Enjoy it fresh for breakfast or make it ahead and freeze for lunches! Filled with protein and fresh fruit, it's sure to be a hit with your family!
Don't Go Nuts is a line of Soy Butter spreads (and now Energy Bars) that are completely nut free. The spreads also happen to be gluten free & Vegan, as well.
When they contacted us about using their products for an upcoming Holiday Recipe E-Book, I was excited to get my thinking cap on... Little did I know that my Sous Chef, Little Miss, would actually be the one to come up with our clever recipe submission!
Toasted sandwiches (like a grilled cheese, turkey melt, or grilled frenchman) are the best for lunch!
But... they can often get soggy when packed up in your lunchbox by the time you or your kiddo gets to eat it. Bleh! No one wants a soggy sandwich.
So, how do you keep the sandwich from getting soggy? I'll tell you!

Back in March, I shared a teaser photo on our Facebook page of these fabulous cake pops we made. It wasn't until we made more last evening, for guests that came over for dinner, that I realized I hadn't posted it yet! (D'oh!)
So, I managed to snap a few more photos before the girls devoured them! Little Miss was so excited to share one of her new favorite recipes with friends.
They're Gluten & Top 8 Allergy Free! That's right. Free from dairy, eggs, wheat, peanuts, tree nuts, soy & more. Perfect for dessert or a sweet popable snack. ;)
