Today was a fun filled day of gluten free/dairy free (and a few treats for Jason and I) shopping at Trader Joe's and Great Harvest Bread Company. One thing I have to say...I love that my family's favorite "treats" come from Trader Joe's. When I got home tonight my husband had already noticed that I went shopping earlier in the day and went through all the cupboards, the fridge, and the freezer to see what I bought. I got informed that when he found the Orange Chicken in the freezer and the peanut butter filled pretzels in the snack cupboard that it "made his whole day"! How can you not love that? And of course, my son was so excited over the Cuties (dairy free ice cream sandwiches) he discovered in the freezer. And Alexis....she loves it the most when I visit Trader Joe's because I always come home with her nuts. She loves almonds, walnuts, and cashews! I mix them together in a sandwich baggy for her to snack on and she is completely content! Plus I went and got a few loaves of her FAVORITE bread! Great Harvest Bread Co. in University Place makes a delicious gluten free Brown Rice/Buckwheat bread. It's probably the best gluten free bread I have ever tried! She can't wait for tomorrow night's dinner because I promised I would make BLT's for dinner using her bread. She cracks me up! Tonight at dance she was so excited over her dinner I packed for her. Her friend was giving her some very odd looks as Alexis was nearly giddy over her dinner. Little shouts of mmmm...a sandwich, yummy carrots and sugar snap peas, ooohhh oranges, and string cheese too? Then she found her baggy of nuts.....
Happy family = Happy Mom!
