Do you know what I love about Enjoy Life Foods besides the fact that they ask me to taste test for them? I love that they listen to their customers. I’ve left notes on their Facebook wall, and they reply! I’ve had conversations on Twitter with their Chief Marketing Officer (yes, he’s working on getting Meijer to carry my favorite product!). I’d say that’s good customer service.
But, enough of that. You want to know what we tested! Continue reading
The wonderful folks at Enjoy Life Foods sent me another great product to test: Not Nuts Seed & Fruit Mixes. If you are not familiar with Enjoy Life Foods, their products are free of the eight top allergens, which is awesome for those of us whose kiddos are super sensitive to some of those allergens!
When I opened the package, I wasn’t sure I’d get my super picky Aspie to try the mix–too many new things at once, especially things that look a lot like things he doesn’t like. However, he does enjoy testing products, and, drum roll please, the Mountain Mambo mix has Enjoy Life Foods’ mini chocolate chips in it! So, we started with that, and I managed to get Dr. J to try it. That was all for him (he’s been anti-raisins for a while now, so any dried fruit is out of the question!). HOWEVER… Continue reading
Thanks to Jan May for submitting this recipe! You could easily make this GFCF. Here are her notes:
Here is a yummy creamy chicken and broccoli soup with tarragon recipe that is comforting and filling! It was passed down from my mother-in-law who was in the catering business. I make it for my family and we all love it! You can switch out the vegetables or add different ones as you like. Portobello mushrooms are incredible with this! Sautee them first in butter before you add them.
Kimberly Reddy was kind enough to share a great stew recipe, and it’s allergy friendly! Here are her notes:
As promised this is my recipe for “October Stew”. I should note that we tend to throw the leftovers from the garden on in this, so the exact vegetables vary, though there’s always pumpkin and some kind of stewing beef or pork.

The great folks over at Tropical Traditions sent me a jar of their Coconut Cream Concentrate to take for a test in the kitchen. I am a fan of Tropical Traditions, so I was eager to try something new! PLUS they offered a free jar to one of my readers! Make sure you read all the way to the end for giveaway rules.
Once upon a time there were two little boys who needed something to do on a hot, humid day. Their mommy had injured a toe, and could not run around the playground. What, oh what could they do? Continue reading
“Mommy, can we test the Enjoy Life cookies?” Meatball asked this question every day until, quite sadly, I had to say, “There aren’t any left.” I almost felt like we needed a moment of silence, they were that good!
First choice, with thumbs up from Meatball
Enjoy Life Foods sent us four boxes of their new crunchy cookies to taste test. Dr. J now recognizes their label! He wanted to taste test the Double Chocolate first, and of course this chocoholic mommy did not protest!
Remember, Enjoy Life Foods products are free of the top 8 food allergens. Could that kind of product make a double chocolate cookie that tastes “real”? Continue reading

(There’s a giveaway at the end, so read all the way through!) Months ago I was out of coconut flour. Yikes! I like using it as one of my gluten-free flours because it packs a lot of protein and fiber. When you have picky eaters (autism and preschool!), any protein and fiber you can get in them counts!
