“The No Biggie Bunch” Book Review and Giveaway!!
Recently, while I was “tweeting” (on Twitter) about Sam going through some social “celiac growing pains,” I got a tweet back from @NoBiggieBunch about a book series for children called “The No Biggie Bunch.” Intrigued, I went to the website and checked it out.

When the package arrived, I have to admit I was a little skeptical just because of the way it landed on my doorstep. I think the shipping company played soccer with the […]
Portable Gluten-Free Soy Sauce Containers
While there are several gluten-free soy sauces on the market, the biggest frustration (at least for me) is portability! The last time I carried a bottle of my favorite gluten-free soy sauce (San-J Organic Wheat-Free Reduced-Sodium Tamari) in my purse, I was the lucky sucker who had the bottle leak everywhere! Besides, it isn’t exactly […]
