Here are the notes I made up for my kids for a Gingerbread hunt. You can make your own or adjust these to make sense for your house and your family. You can use whatever kind of cookies you want. Just cut them out in the shape of a Gingerbread Man. We’ve made sugar cookies before […]
So I started another blog. 🙂 I’m just getting this one started but it will include products that I have contacted manufacturers on. There are a lot of items that we eat that are not in the Feingold shopping guide for one reason or another so I decided to contact them myself. I will be sharing […]
We celebrate Christmas a little differently than most. For one, we don’t do Santa. I decided before my kids were born that I wasn’t going to tell them about Santa.

28 oz can of tomato puree (I use Muir Glen) 2 cups of the juice from a 28 oz can of whole peeled tomatoes (use a fork and mash down on the tomatoes to get the juice. You can strain it if you want.) ½ cup of oil (I use organic olive oil) 1 […]
We just celebrated my son’s 6th birthday yesterday. Thought I’d share how we have celebrated our own birthdays Feingold style. First, I always print my own invitations.
