Its been a long time since I had opportunity to update this blog, but quite a bit has changed in our lives and even more has changed in the food world.  So, I thought I'd take this time while our T-Day Dinner is cooking away to make some quick updates. Dairy Queen - No More Sorry folks, scratch this one from your list of safe places to eat.  They changed their recipes and now their out :(

I thought I'd share some of our experiences at the places we have found to eat out. Granted the list is very short, but we have yet to have problems at any of the following:Teds Montana GrillTeds Montana Grill makes everything from scratch when you order it. They offer up Buffalo (for those who are BPI and not just MSPI) as well as Cow and they use Canola Oil in their fryers. This means that

In case you haven't heard about Whole Foods, they are "Whole Foods Market is the world's largest retailer of natural and organic foods, with stores throughout North America and the United Kingdom."Now, typically statements like make me avoid a place like the plague (screams We are the Walmart of grocery stores). But, in this case Sarah and I took the time to go check them out.We were amazed to

This is something that comes up all of the time and in all Allergy Aware families lives. Its time to go to some location with your allergic child where you don't know what temptations will be around.In our case it was this past mothers day weekend. We went to my parents house, where they "can't live without their milk and butter", for a family gathering. My Brother, his Daughter, my Sister,

Enough rants and raves about FF joints for a bit. Today I wanted to talk about a great Dressing ling we found a while back (some time in January). Its called Brianna's Dressings (http://www.briannassaladdressing.com/), if you haven't heard of them or tried them you should. In fact I'll give you a recipe that Sarah and I love to give them a try with at the end of this posting.When Sarah and I

I've talked with many families in my local community about our son and MSPI. In many cases the story is the same;We noticed that there was a problem and that anytime our child received Milk or Soy products (by keeping a food diary and comparing ingredient listings) there was a problem. A visit to our local allergist resulted in testing (usually blood work, but pin prick testing is also common)

In our family we have multiple food allergies (Blueberries, Bananas, Fake Sugars, etc) and a child with Milk Soy Protein Intolerance (MSPI). Why does this matter at all? For one thing restaurant's and fast food joints are missing out on our business. If we can't identify at least one product on the menu that our MSPI child can eat, we don't eat at the location.The typical scenario goes

I've heard this time and time again, and truth be told I don't agree with it one bit. In fact, I'd say that you have two choices in this world; Laugh or Cry. I find that when I smile at someone their reaction varies. They either smile back or wonder what crazy scheme I have up my sleeve.This, I use to my advantage. Any time I walk into a meeting (client, internal, personal, any meeting) I try

So, I'm up to day 3 (or 4 depending on how you count) at Barkley. I must say I'm more than impressed with the company overall. There are few companies that you walk into on your first day and it feels like you have been their forever. There are even fewer that after a few days have past you really feel like your at home walking into the office. Barkley is one of those few, making you feel at

I started a new job at Barkley (yes they used to be called Barkley Evergreen and Partners) today as a Client Side Business Systems Analyst. To make a long title short, I'm a document jockey plain and simple. I'm really excited about the position and the company as it promises to allow me to flex my technical skills quite a bit more then VML did. Also the team has been great so far and offers
