Giant Milk Free Givaway!

First and foremost I want to thank EVERYONE that reads Milk Free Kids blog, has fanned our facebook page, and has emailed or commented. I appreciate knowing that I have been able to help so many parents with their struggle to live dairy free.

Next, I want to thank ALL of the vendors that were able to participate in this giveaway. They all generously sent me their products to share with you. I was also able to try a few with my family to write reviews for you. All of these products are foods that we buy regularly for our family. We are so lucky to live in a day and age where so many food producers are offering foods that are safe for kids and others with food allergies.

So now I present you with our official 500 Fan Giveaway. It's just my way of saying thank you to everyone! We've got two grand prizes for 2 lucky winners, and multiple small prizes that we'll be giving away through the next two weeks.

Our Giant prizes have a little something from all the vendors. ALL the food is 100% dairy free. Most of it is also gluten free, nut free, soy free, etc. PLEASE be sure to check the labels on all of them if you have food allergies other than dairy to be sure they are safe for you!

Enjoy Life Crunchy Cookies Review!!

I recently posted a review for Enjoy Life's new Chocolate Chunks and Chocolate Granola. They then sent us 4 boxes of Enjoy Life's Crunchy Cookies! which I couldn't WAIT to try! We dug right into them when they arrived and WOAH are they good!  They are available in 4 delicious flavors, Double Chocolate, Sugar Crisp, Vanilla Honey Graham, and  Chocolate Chip. 

If you have been following along with my story, then you know that I struggled with finding yummy foods during my 1 year of dairy and soy free breastfeeding. I know this is a dairy free blog, but I've kind of been turning towards more general allergen free posts as I realize that a lot of my readers have multiple allergies and intolerance's.  Enjoy Life's line of treats are free of the top 8 allergens, gluten free, and made on dedicated equipment in a dedicated facility!! 

So back to me... while I was dying for cookies and chocolate, I discovered Enjoy Life, and I have been hooked ever since! I love their soft baked snicker doodles like it's nobodies business. My little man loves the soft baked chocolate chip cookies. So of course we are excited to talk about the Crunchy Cookies that Enjoy Life now offers, and were double excited to get to try them out. 

When they arrived in the mail, we ate them fast as a family. I especially loved the Vanilla Honey Graham flavor, and my little man gobbled up the chocolate chip ones saying "Those my favorites." The double chocolate is, well, anything that is chocolate in chocolate can't go wrong in my book! The sugar crisp ones were a real treat. They went very well with my morning coffee. 

They are nice and thin, crispy but not hard as a rock, have a tendency to be a little melt-a-way once they hit your tongue, and perfectly sweet is an understatement. They lack for nothing.   

The chocolate chip flavors are just chock full of Enjoy Life's mini chips, which just happen to be my #1 favorite chocolate chips in the whole world. They are smooth and creamy and super sweet. There is none of that gritty chocolate chip feeling to them that other brand's large chips have. 

Knowing that I can always grab a box of anything from the Enjoy Life line and not have to worry about reading the ingredients, is really a big help in my hectic life. We are lucky in this day and age that a company like Enjoy Life exists. I appreciate everything that they do, and hope they never stop creating new and delicious foods for us to all enjoy! If you haven't tried them out yet, you should aim to make it a top priority!! Find a store near you here. I get my Enjoy Life treats at Whole Foods, and some of their items are even carried at my local grocery store, which is great for us!

So check them out at http://www.enjoylifefoods.com or on their Facebook page. Give their facebook page a "like" and let me know what YOU think of the Enjoy Life product line! 

We are currently only 6 facebook fans away from the start of the Milk Free Kids giveaway, and there will be Enjoy Life treats to win!! I'm getting really excited!! See you soon!

Amanda's Own Confections- A truly delicious milk free treat!

Have you ever had a piece of chocolate that was so rich, creamy, smooth, and delicious that you finished it and got really sad that it was all gone? 

Have you ever had a chocolate so good that when you were going to get some more of it, you got excited in anticipation? 

Have you ever had chocolate in your house that got fought over and vanished when you weren't looking? 

I have.  I have because I have had Amanda's Own Confections -  Not only are they all completely dairy-free, but they are also all tree nut-free, peanut-free, egg-free and gluten-free!

These aren't just chocolate bars! They offer loads of fun seasonal shapes, packaging, and loads of options!

We got to sample the gold bunny box, and a sitting bunny. We sampled them so fast, that I didn't get to even get one photo of them! They are just the right amount of sweet, and so reach and creamy. PLUS they are solid chocolate! None of that hollow bunny scam that you remember from childhood! 

The GREAT NEWS... They are shipping Easter treats all the way until March 27th! It't not too early to order for your Easter baskets and eggs!

Check out the whole assortment of Easter treats HERE.

Look at how incredibly adorable the foil wrapped bunnies are... 

 

Not only do they offer loose, boxed, and foil wrapped chocolates, but they also have a wide selection of lollipop chocolates which includes ballerinas, trucks, dinosaurs, sports, and more!

There's even non-chocolate selections! Plus, if you live in a warmer area, or are ordering in the summer you can have your chocolates shipped in a special container so that they won't melt! I swear, they've thought of everything!

We got a chance to sample devour a bag of sour gummy worms, and they were AMAZING! They were sweet and sour, and chewy, and just plain awesome! So awesome in fact, that I was talking about this post, trying a few more samples of this amazing chocolate, and my teen said "Hey, are you getting more of those gummy worms, Mom?" and he never asks for candy, ever!

So check out the FAQ if you need to know more. Like their facebook page to get a head start on the Milk Free Kids 500 Fan Giveaway. Then give them a try!
