Here's a "life hack" for your Monday morning. Use a hot dog bun for a child's sandwich. It makes a perfect sub roll that little hands and mouth can actually manage. Fits in the PlanetBox well too! Great way to use up buns leftover from weekend BBQs. 👌🍉🥖

Mark your calendars! Two weeks from today! A book sale fundraiser for FARE | Food Allergy Research & Education. Make sure you're a member of my Usborne Books and More VIP Page as I'll be posting everything there. 😊 Can't wait! facebook.com/groups/5254398…

Meal plan this week: 😁 MONDAY: Pesto chicken bake TUESDAY: Beef burgers and sweet potato fries WEDNESDAY: Crockpot shredded chicken tacos THURSDAY: Nachos with more shredded chicken and vegan cheese sauce FRIDAY: Make-your-own pizzas with the same chicken and cheese sauce

Was really craving comfort food so we had nachos a night early. The "cheese" sauce is at least filled with carrots and potatoes. This sauce is seriously one of my favorite recipe finds. From the look on his face, I think Ollie agrees nachos were a good idea! 😂😊

Added a new favorite book to the list as Ollie has been loving learning about germs (though still not enough to keep the fingers and germs OUT OF HIS MOUTH 🤦‍♀️). The links bring you right to the shopping link that supports our FARE | Food Allergy Research & Education fundraiser. ollergy.com/food-allergy-b…

Happy Father's Day, Erik! You are the most amazing dad in the world. Thank you for always being there for the two of us for EVERYTHING. Ollie idolizes you and I'm so thankful he has such an amazing role model. Enjoy your day, especially the birthday card he picked for you! 💕😂

Finished the garden this weekend (finally)! Ollie is already asking when he gets to start eating tomatoes. 🍅🥒🌶️🥗 We used Just Natural mushroom compost mix. 🍄

We love to make berry smoothies with spinach and avocado. The extra freezes perfectly in our Zoku mold. Ollie loves his "fish pops!" We recently saw molds at Healthy Living Market and Cafe and I know Bed Bath & Beyond sells them online too! ☀️ buff.ly/2ym4f3q

Here's what we had/are having this week: MONDAY: Potato chorizo hash (recipe from Allergic Living) TUESDAY: Pulled pork with homemade BBQ sauce (recipe from Alyssa Rimmer) WEDNESDAY: Lemon garlic crockpot chicken THURSDAY: Sopa de lima FRIDAY: Leftovers

I know a lot of you really liked learning about the baked egg food challenge. This week I'm sharing about our experience with a baked milk food challenge. I hope you find it helpful! ollergy.com/baked-milk-foo…

We asked Ollie what he wanted to make this weekend and his answer, while eating a breakfast bar, was more breakfast bars! Alyssa Rimmer's Strawberry Breakfast Bars this time. They're the PERFECT way to use some of those fresh, summer berries! Our house smells amazing! 😍😋😊

Did you catch my live Facebook/Instagram video last night? It's showing off our favorites from Usborne Books and More for the "party" we're having. All commission goes to FARE | Food Allergy Research & Education via their Food Allergy Heroes Walk. a7670.myubam.com/Event/90974

These are my new FAVORITE snack, for myself and for Ollie. Crunchy Organic Rice Rollers. If you're lucky enough to find them at your local Costco, that's the best deal. They are on Amazon if not. Organic, relatively low sugar, and totally allergy-friendly. buff.ly/2MiwmCC

Here's what we ate/are eating this week: SUNDAY: Stirfry with broccoli, carrots, scallions, and bacon MONDAY: Sweet potato and kidney bean tacos TUESDAY: BBQ pulled pork pizza WEDNESDAY: Balsamic chicken salad THURSDAY: Beef burgers and sweet potato fries FRIDAY: Don't know yet!

Here's a post I did for @BVTMoms. Check it out! Food allergy parents, post questions you wish others knew the answer to and I will share. burlingtonvt.citymomsblog.com/2018/06/28/foo…

It is HOT. Remember to keep your epinephrine protected in this weather. When at the pool this past weekend and for a daycare beach day yesterday, we left our EpiPens and AuviQs in the thermal pouches they are always in and put everything in a bigger cooler bag with one cold pack.

I have mixed feelings about this. On one hand, I’m so glad they disclosed it as it’s not required. On the other, why?! 😭 Ollie LOVES snacks like this and it always stinks to find there’s a cross-contamination risk. What are cross-contact risks you’ve been surprised to discover?

Tried a new snack idea that Little Green Pear recently shared - yogurt covered blueberries! Perfect way to finish off our So Delicious Dairy Free Unsweetened Vanilla yogurt. Freeze on parchment paper and store in the freezer. We even mixed a few into cereal this morning! 👌🏻☺

DEAL ALERT and travel tip! This Chameleon Coffee is on sale for $6.99 at Healthy Living. My mornings always include a cup of cold brew iced coffee with coconut cream and maple syrup. When your child wakes up at the crack of dawn, this is readily available. 😂😴

Here's a peek at an "emergency snack box" we recently stocked for Ollie. This stays at daycare and can supplement his food on days he runs out (which happened at 10:30 AM once recently 😳) and also has a few treats!
