Update to the update; Regular pancakes are  not … Read more

Let’s Do Gluten Free Ice Cream Cones

Carrabba’s Italian Grill

That and sneaky doses of soybean oil in the pasta sauces make it extremely difficult to … Read more

We're trying to track allergen information for every restaurant that we eat at.
With our kids' soy allergy, each time we eat at a restaurant, it can take up to 30 minutes to figure out what he can eat.
Especially since most restaurants don't accurately represent their usage of soy.

We're tracking what soy free (including soybean oil free) foods our kids can eat at all restaurants we go to.
If you've got a soy allergy in your family and have any information you can share, please contact us.
