Did you know it is food allergy awareness week? FAAN wants to help raise awareness about food allergies as well as create a place where people can support one another.
What is a food allergy ? It is abnormal response by the immune system to specific foods eaten. The most common food allergies are eggs, dairy, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soy, fish and shellfish. There are 12 million people in the U.S. that have allergies, and several million more that have sensitivities to certain foods. If your child has an allergy make sure a plan is in place in case of reaction by all caregivers and educational staff. If you suspect a food allergy discuss it with your doctor.
Here are some great resources for people who have allergies.

Here are some ice cream makers, I have been thinking about getting one of these. I think it would pay for itself pretty quickly considering how much ice cream costs right now. I probably spend at least the cost of this ice cream maker each summer. If I purchase an ice cream maker I can make a lower calorie ice cream or vegan ice cream for much cheaper than buying it at the store.
