Non-Dairy and Dairy Free Labels: May Contain Milk Protein!

When shopping for dairy-free products, are you confused by the non-dairy and dairy free labels on the product packaging?  You should be.

With our food allergies, my storm shopping list is a little different! Also, having a child with asthma has its own concerns in the face of a nasty Nor’Easter. A blizzard is heading this way tonight and people are practically killing each other in the parking lots and aisles of grocery and home improvement stores to get prepared.  I shopped in case we get snowed in or lose power for a long time, especially...

The Best Nut Free Granola Recipe

This basic nut free granola recipe is great because it’s not overly sweet and you can add to it whatever you like. Try coconut, dried fruit bits, seeds or nuts if you can have them, or even allergen-free chocolate chips! Me, I make it plain and that makes me happy.
