There's a lot of controversy about peanut allergies, please watch this video from Fox News about a new product from General Mills called: Peanut Butter Cheerios. I have learned to Always Read food label Ingredients, and I Also avoid Any Product That Says:Maybe Processed On Equipment That Processes Peanuts.
Parents, I have learned to be the best advocate for my children, please do not hesitate to read the ingredients and when in doubt, please ask questions, it is well worth the effort.
Thank You Fox News. Thanks for keeping the public informed.

FUN FACTS
Getting Ready For Easter
We have been using PAAS Classic Easter Egg Decorating Kit In Our Household For A Long Time. If you like to dye eggs for Easter, we just follow the simple directions on the PAAS Box and have the most wonderful time together and most colorful pretty eggs one can imagine. You might say well what about that egg allergy, handling the eggs and dyeing, coloring, eggs does not affect our allergy free world. Eating the eggs is a no, no. So please continue to read below the picture to find out a few fun facts about PAAS Egg Decorating Kit. Don't y'all just love this! :)
Did you know that if you lay all of the PAAS wire dippers end-to-end, they would equal the height of 6,628 Washington Monuments. (paaseastereggs,com)
Did you know that if you lay all of the PAAS kits sold each year end-to-end they would reach from Miami, Florida, to Chicago, Illinois, that's nearly 1,400 miles! (paaseastereggs.com)
Persians first began using colored eggs to celebrate spring in 3000 B.C. on the first day of spring, they would give each other an egg dyed red. (paaseastereggs.com)
I thought this would be a little interesting to share with you, do you know any families where each one in the family has to have their own milk in order to please and satisfy everyone? Of course there's the Rice Dream because of the milk allergy, then there's the whole milk, 2% milk, sometimes skim milk and organic milk. Hey this family yes.... as they say:
'Got Milk'
Ok, can you tell me what's wrong with this picture?
a. The sun is too bright
b. The milk, eggs and cookies are allergens in our allergy free world
c. Just the milk and eggs are the allergens in our allergy free world
Check the correct answer below the picture
 |
| b. The Milk, Eggs And Cookies Are All Allergens In Our Allergy Free World |
The glass of milk is whole milk, of course the eggs is one of the allergies for us, the cookies are store bought chocolate chip cookies, and oatmeal cookies and the ingredients showed milk and eggs. To play it safe, I make my own cookies, unless the product specifically says: Does Not Contain These Specific Allergens, It Is Well Worth Reading The Ingredients And Baking Your Own. In our allergy free world, I say Back Away From The Picture. :)
