Eat Freely.

I have to tell you.  I have a new obsession.  Enjoy Life snacks.  All of them are great, really... But I am pretty obsessed with their new Crunchy Vanilla Honey Graham Cookies.  I am thoroughly addicted.  All the crunchy cookies are good.... But these ones are amazing... I need to stop and just tell you a little more about why their products are so good.  But hold on, I need to eat another cookie first.

Enjoy Life is a company that was founded in 2001 by a man named Scott Mandell.  It is, and always has been, a dedicated nut and gluten free company, but all their products are free of wheat, dairy, soy, peanuts, eggs, tree nuts, fish and shellfish.  Most products they make are also free of potatoes, sulfites, sesame and casein.  They were also the first company EVER to be certified by the Gluten Free Certification Organization.  Do you understand how great this is??!  People who have food allergies can just pick up a box of their snacks and eat them without wondering whether they'll react.  People like me, who breastfeed their allergic babies, can eat whatever they want.. and not wonder how their baby will be later.  It is just a freedom that people don't get when eating products made elsewhere.  I am newly gluten, soy, dairy and egg free and can't find many products that I can eat freely, so Enjoy Life has been such a relief for me.

I recently tried their Chocolate For Baking.  The Megachunks, I tried first, and made the blondie recipe on the box.  I love love loved the chunks themselves, but since having a baby 8 months ago, I've completely lost my brain.  I didn't read the recipe right, I guess.  It called for only 1 cup of the megachunks, but I think I forgot to read the directions.  I added the whole bag and the blondies didn't cook all the way through.  I keep meaning to try them again, but haven't gotten to.  I did try the mini chips and was EXTREMELY satisfied.  I made double chocolate gluten, soy, dairy and egg free cookies and they turned out fantastic!!! The Double Chocolate Granola contains the mini chips, and Oh Em Gee!!  I couldn't get enough of that either!   

I'm so excited that I found this stuff as I was finding out JUST how many allergies my son has.  Seems to me we'll be loyal shoppers for EVER!!
