It is that time of year again, everything is PUMPKIN! I love this combination for breakfast, lunch or just a snack. Udi’s bagels are a staple.

The people in our house have many food allergies. It is overwhelming and scary when you first learn you or someone you love needs to avoid a food. There are some great resources on the web. One company I love is Enjoy Life. They have a few that are a great place to start.
The date for 2015’s Celebrate Awaeness was announced today. October 18 in the France Pavillion is this years date and location. Last years events were wonderful. I wonder what pixie dust magic will happen this year.
