While I’ve stopped accepting complimentary gluten free products to review on my website, I recently made an exception when Heather from So Lucky Gifts contacted me with an offer too tempting to refuse. A gluten free, dairy free Halloween gift box containing c.h.o.c.o.l.a.t.e. My boys made it very clear they’d take me down if I […]

Green Bean “Fries”
posted on May 17, 2012 by
I learned a very valuable parenting lesson a couple years ago when I conducted a little McCarrot Fry experiment on my kids.

posted on March 7, 2012 by
St. Patrick’s Day has always been a fun holiday for me, everything from pinching the poor hapless soul who doesn’t wear green (or orange!) to chugging more than my fair share of green beer back in college. Funny, I can’t seem to recall partaking in any other tradition for St. Patty’s day. Must have […]

I cannot think of another processed food that has become more embedded in the minds of children than Pepperidge Farms’ Goldfish Crackers.
