2015 Mazda6 Review

Posted by Courtney Lopez on

We were given the chance to review the 2015 Mazda6 for a week.

2015 Mazda6 Review

Mazda is my top pick for vehicles right now.  I love the safety features, the ride, and even the styles.  They’re doing everything right and you’ll rarely see a consumer rethink their Mazda purchase.

Mazda6 Grand Touring urchase Price: $29,895-$33,320 depending on purchase of optional equipment. 

Originally I pictured myself purchasing an SUV and I still plan to do so, however the Mazda6 really showed me that it being a midsize sedan was no problem for our busy family.  The interior is roomy, the exterior looks upscale and sporty, making it an excellent family car for almost anyone.  It also handles extremely well.  We have been getting review cars for events and we took the Mazda6 to the Gluten and Allergen Free Expo.  On the way home from the Expo there was torrential downpour.  Everyone had their hazards on and the Mazda was outstanding during our trip home during the storm.

A rich and creamy New England Clam Chowder recipe where we swapped Flounder for Clams.  Very subtle flavor of the sea with the flounder make this a great soup for FPIES trailing something new.

New England Clam Chowder Recipe with Flounder

We recently wanted to add another protein to Kay’s diet.  Since she has FPIES we have to trial each new food she tries.  We’ve contemplated turkey for quite some time, but “chickened” out thanks to her Chicken FPIES food allergy.  Doctors typically say that after 18 months to 2 years you can retrial the trigger foods.  Since chicken and turkey are so close, we’ve decided to hold off for now.  Right now her only safe proteins are beef, pork, salmon, and we’re working on flounder!

Chocolate Chip Scone, Cookies! | Soy Free

Posted by Courtney Lopez on

It’s a cookie, it’s a scone, it’s Chocolate Chip Scone, Cookies!

Chocolate Chip Scone Cookies

I like scones, Kay likes cookies.  So I made a combination of the two and we’re both happy!  When we went to the Gluten and Allergen Free Expo at the beginning of the month we found a few chocolate brands that don’t contain soy.  We typically used Enjoy Life Foods whenever we made chocolate chip cookies, but this time we tried PASCHA chocolate this time.  PASCHA is free of the top allergens.  I fell in love with the coffee chocolate bar I bought at the expo.   Since Kay was diagnosed with FPIES we’ve found so many amazing products and options.
