VegBooks.org posted the 500th review on the site the other day! Go have a look, I’ll wait. . . I can’t believe a review I wrote was chosen, it is a great series of all ages comic books/graphic novels about a vegetarian owl named Owly. I have seen numerous copies on the shelves of our … Continue reading »

Mission Beach Photos
Another round of phone camera photos, I was going to crop these but they are kind of funny as is. You see, when you are at the beach or pool it is a good idea to put your phone in a ziploc bag. You can still talk on it and use it (even a touchscreen … Continue reading »
San Diego Wild Animal Park Photos
On one of our last days in San Diego after Labor Day this year, we used our Costco park hopper passes to visit the San Diego Wild Animal Park. It is up in Encinitas so it was a long drive and unlike the Zoo they charge for parking ($10) which was a bummer. We went … Continue reading »
Chocolate Chip Cookie Photos
These are momentous. Not just because they turn out great, and much better since I started using corn free xanthan gum instead of guar gum (see a great comparison here), but because it was my first taste of chocolate since a year ago when I stopped eating chocolate in case it was contributing to R’s … Continue reading »
Family Friendly Activities (new page)
When my husband saw me preparing a new section on the site he asked if I was going to post about it, I am sorry if this seems like filler but I do like to mention it because it is nice to see all the ideas in one place. Sometimes it is easy to give … Continue reading »

Traveling with Food Allergies – Part One
We take so much for granted with food. Most people just hop in a car or a plane or some other mode of transport and figure they’ll grab a bite to eat on the way or when they arrive at their destination. When they stop for gas there will be road snacks for the choosing … Continue reading »
Frozen Banana Soft Serve Recipe
So this is more of a technique than a recipe but I finally tried it and loved it. The kids were fans as well but I first read about this here at Shelteriffic. I have even heard of stores serving banana soft serve recently, with mix-ins and everything. Pretty allergy friendly unless you have … Continue reading »
Food Find – Earth Balance Soy Free Vegan Mayo
Sometimes I give up checking labels, I just think to myself that it is not worth seeing if something is safe when so often it isn’t and it is easier not to get my hopes up. This was a happy accident, look at those ingredients: canola oil, water, brown rice syrup, apple cider vinegar (not … Continue reading »
