OKay before I tell you about these products, let me say that I am hungry looking back at these pictures!  They were SO good, the snaps are LONG gone….in my belly!

El’s Kitchen is a great company!  They not only make yummy products but they are beyond friendly!  I was lucky enough to run into the gang at the GFAF expo in Chicago back in April.  I had done a review for them before on their Medley’s and I am excited to tell you about their SNAPS today!

The Snaps contain:

• NO gluten
• NO eggs
• NO peanuts
• NO nuts
• NO dairy
• NO soy

WOOT!  What more could I ask for?   So the day they arrived, my kids were super excited!  We were about to leave to run some errands, but of course when a box arrives we have to open it!  Its like Christmas!  The kids were so excited to see the snaps!  They wanted to take them with!  So we made sure to photograph the set before we left! Good thing I did because when we returned home there were zero snaps left in the “Simply Sea Salt” bag that we took!  YUMMO!

The next morning we broke into the “Cinnamon and Sugar” snaps!  Oh, boy it was just the sweet crunchy snack I needed!  This flavor was a huge hit with my kids too!  We packed them as snacks for the week and they traveled well in our bags!

We also tried the “Garlic and Herb” snaps!   My husband is a huge garlic lover so he tried those and they loved them.  The flavor was a bit too much for the kiddos.  They enjoy more mild flavors.  I enjoyed this flavor too!

You can purchase them online by clicking here.

These are truly GREAT snacks!  They are FREE of so many of the things my family needs to avoid!  Thank you for El’s Kitchen for providing us samples to taste and review!  The opinions in this post are from the Veg Mamma family! We loved them!

Since the peanut allergy diagnosis in our house, I have missed peanut butter items.  The odd thing is though, I don’t think I could actually eat peanut butter anymore.  Just the thought of what it could do to my little men just breaks my heart.  We went away for the weekend recently and there were several peanut products (yummy ones) available to eat, but I just couldn’t do it!  So to create a happy medium, we made some yummy sunbutter chocolate chip cookies!  We adapted the recipe from here to fit our dietary needs.

Remember all our recipes can be adapted!  Our recipes can be enjoyed by vegans, vegetarians and meat eaters!  You should be able to easily swap out ingredients such as dairy/non dairy milks/cheeses, you can adjust gluten free and wheat flours as well as add extra protein to our dishes.

Copy Kids is a fun DVD that is filled with 12 7-minute video clips of kids eating healthy veggies and fruit!  The idea is that if your kiddo sees the other kids eating fruit/veggies, they may join in.

My kids loved it! To be completely honest, my 3 year old watches the DVD once a week or so.  He loves to watch the other kids eat the foods he loves!

Copy Kids is giving one lucky person a copy of the Copy Kids DVD and a $25 gift card to Whole Foods! If you don’t have a WF near you, Copy Kids will work with you to get a gift card for a store near you.  This prize can be shipped to US OR Canada!
