Happy GFCF Easter From The Bon Bon Gazette

Happy Easter!

So, you wonder what you give a kid for easter who is on the gluten free diet?

Well, there are actually quite a few options including the Enjoy Life Foods boom Choco boom Dairy-Free Rice Milk Gluten-Free Chocolate Bars which come in a few different versions and are really yummy chocolate candy bars, even comes in a Krispy version. Also, last year I spent a lot of time making some treats using safe crisped rice cereal, Enjoy Life Gluten-Free Chocolate Chips, and kosher marshmallows and made my own treats. Guess, what? My kid didn't eat it. Because - he doesn't really like candy! After any occasion where the kids collect candy I end up throwing it out or giving it to other families with kids who actually eat candy. I'm really blessed actually - my son doesn't like candy!

So this year the Easter Bunny brought.....

  • Wall-E Crocs
  • Bag full of Wall-E Jibbitz charms for the crocs
  • The Bedtime Stories DVD
  • A couple of Wall-E Books (the reading level is well below Alex's reading ability but he already owns the ones that are more difficult and he actually prefers the pictures because as we all know - he loves to draw Wall-E.
  • And the icing on the cake.... A bottle of Organic Ketchup - non high fructose syrup containing! Alex actually LOVES the Nature's Promise brand which is the Stop N Shop store brand, go figure.

    Guess what Alex said when he saw what the Easter bunny left him?

    "Ketchup! Oh, it is my favorite food!!!"

Never know what kids will get excited about!

We had Guardian Angel Foods Chocolate bunnies (nut milk & egg free) and Florida Naturals Eggs (gluten, dairy and nut free)

I'd die for a pair of green Wall-E croc but as with most things I fancy, they probably only come in kiddie sizes.
