Food can be fun for children with food allergies

February 1st, 2012

Food is fuel. Food is also fun! One of our weekly highlights is seeing photos of what Keeley McGuire packs in fun bento lunches for her lucky daughter, who also happens to have a peanut allergy. We’re proud Keeley shares her story here, and we love watching her daughter thrive. Thanks, Keeley! Look at this lunch:

My name is Keeley and I have a little site called Keeley McGuire Blog. When I started blogging last year, I didn’t really know what direction I was headed – I just knew I needed a creative outlet. I started sharing some crafts, recipes, my love affair with my crockpot, and what I called “silly sandwiches” for my daughter, aka Little Miss. If you’re a mom looking to spice up your kiddos’ lunches, start simple. Use a cookie cutter on the sandwich! It takes the same amount of effort to cut a sandwich into a fun shape with a cookie cutter as it does to cut it in half. Then, get as clever as you’d like.

Little Miss SunButtershine

What do you do when peanut butter is your first love but you have nut allergies? Find a peanut butter substitute—and a sunny new lifestyle. Check out this post from Candice of Infectiously Optimistic. Thanks for sharing your story--and your favorite recipes, Candice! I'm a big believer that whether or not you eat breakfast in the morning, and what you choose to eat, dictates the quality of your day. When I was little, I knew it was going to be a good day when I got to be the one to open a brand new jar of peanut butter. I lived for that moment where your butter knife first plunges into the creamy, untouched, golden brown peanut butter and adheres decadently to the clean blade. I loved the way it seeped into the nooks and crannies of my warm honey wheat english muffin as it melted and became one with the dough. It was breakfast bliss.

New holiday recipe! STUFT SunButter Doughtzel Balls

December 16th, 2011

Hi! It’s STUFT Mama again. I’m so excited to be back to share an amazing recipe with you all. In case you missed it, my last guest post here was about guilt-free holiday treats. I’m a big believer in moderation and making smart choices, especially during the holidays. That being said, I’m also a big believer in impressing my friends and family with my holiday cookies every year. As crazy as this year has been, it is no exception. I’m not quite sure when the holidays snuck up on me. I was a little late getting out the decorations and ordering the Christmas cards this year. (I also may have a little a lot of last-minute shopping that still needs to get done.) I guess that’s what happens when I’m training for a marathon, running a business, teaching fitness classes, blogging at STUFT Mama and trying to take care of almost-two-year-old twin boys. Hmmm… Go figure. One thing I did manage to do though this year is create these amazing STUFT SunButter Doughtzel Balls.

Eczema + Food Allergies = One Nutty, Health Conscious Momma

December 15th, 2011

Jennifer is a work-at-home mother of two. Her son has eczema, allergies, and asthma, and her daughter has mild eczema. She blogs about her family’s journey to itch-free, sneeze-free, wheeze-free days at It’s an Itchy Little World. She is the founder of The Eczema Company.

Oodles of fun with eczema & allergies When most new moms are found cooing over their newborn’s deliciously smooth skin, instead I was questioning why my baby’s skin was not “soft as a baby’s you-know-what” and was slightly dry. When parents are usually caught up in the excitement of tummy time and baby’s first smiles and laughs, my husband and I were too, but we were also pondering our baby’s eczema diagnosis.

A mom’s perspective: coping with worsening peanut allergies

December 5th, 2011

Families across the world are constantly learning to live life to the fullest while dealing with food allergies. Laura and her husband discovered Nya’s peanut allergy when she was only 11 months old. (Unfortunately, the daycare didn’t read Lisa’s advice to avoid peanuts until age two.) Fortunately, the initial reaction was only mild—resulting in a rash. Nya was then diagnosed with a level one peanut allergy.

Peanut butter vs. SunButter taste tests: Chocolate blossom cookies

November 29th, 2011

We tested peanut butter vs. SunButter in a familiar holiday and Christmas cookie recipe: peanut butter blossoms (made with HERSHEY'S® KISS cookies or Brach’s® Stars cookies). See how the peanut butter version compared to the SunButter version with the pickiest food critics of all: kids. Who better to taste test cookies than a group of Girl Scouts?

November 22nd, 2011

You think you’re too busy to bake? Meet Kristin, mom of toddler twin boys, who she pushes in a stroller in half marathons and other races. She also cooks and bakes nut-free—and blogs! Just in time for holiday baking, here’s a guest post from Kristin, blogger at STUFT Mama. Thanks, Kristin, for sharing your race experience (so proud of you!), and two yummy SunButter recipes. We are thankful for you. Hello! I’m Kristin. I'm the busy mom of toddler twin boys behind the healthy lifestyle blog STUFT Mama. I had the pleasure of writing a guest post earlier this year on SunButter Smoothies, and I’m so excited for another opportunity to share some more healthy treats. Before I get to all the SunButter yumminess, I just have to say thank you to all our friends at SunButter for their support in a special race earlier this month. I pushed my two 30-pound boys 13.1 miles in San Diego’s Silver Strand Half Marathon to raise money for a very special deaf little girl.

November 9th, 2011

We get plenty of emails, and most of the messages brighten our days. Some emails really intrigue us. Like the email from a gentleman who expressed his love for SunButter and suggested we promote it more to people like him who are following a low carb/paleo diet lifestyle. There’s a lot more to his story, and we’re grateful he agreed to share it. Thanks for sharing, Mr. North Carolina. We’re proud to be a part of your amazing journey, and we’re rooting for you! Hi, my name is Vainglory. Well, my real name isn’t Vainglory, or else my parents would have some explaining to do. It’s actually my online name so I can mask my identity. But you can see me in a recent photo:
