Orlando FARE Walk ~ 2014

The FARE Walk at the Blue Jacket Park in Central Florida was today. It was very exciting some Teams had team shirts. Next Year we will have one for our team Wes' Wheyless Wonders. We ended up in 6th place, but raised money for a good cause. Here are some pictures from today.

It was a good time and I am glad that we were able to join in. After the Walk we went to Mellow Mushroom, and my son had his first ever piece of pizza. Vegan crust with Vegan Diaya Cheese. I have to admitt it was very good. He also had a kids meal that he SHARED with his non food allergy sister for the first time. They had the kids pretzel with sliced apples. What about cross contamination you ask.

At Mellow Mushroom they have written in their menu that they have a trained staff that will change their aprons, gloves, wash hand, and use a different oven and table to prepare, cook and serve from. So their is no fear of cross contamination.

Needless to say it was a perfect way to end our adventure out with the Central Florida FARE Walk.

FARE WALK TODAY

Today is the FARE walk for Orlando This is our first time going, so we are hoping it will be fun and the kids will have a blast. I will be posting pictures and share our adventure when we return home. We ended up in 4th place for our team Wes' Wheyless Wonders. Not bad for our first time.

Sorry for the delay

Sorry for not writing lately. We have been in the process of moving. My son's allergies were getting to bad in our old place that we were renting so we are now in a place with no carpet. Now that his room and the rooms that him and his sister sleep and play in are done. I can continue to write and help give information to you and anyone else that might eat it.

We are currently in 3rd place for our team Wes' Wheyless Wonders, for this years FARE walk on the 7th of June. YAY! We have surpassed our goal and are just trying to get as much as we can at this point. If you would like to donate click here.  Thank you.

Pirates Dinner Adventure~ Orlando Location

For my parents 35th wedding anniversary I got tickets for them and my kids and myself to Pirates Dinner Adventure. My mom had always wanted to go and since they are having a special for $18 dollar tickets for their 18 year anniversary. I made sure when I bought the tickets to find out about the food for my son. The meals can be special made in ways of Kosher, vegetarian, and GF. But when I asked about dairy allergies the tone quickly changed to maybe you should bring your toddler some food. The meal without upgrades consisted of Roasted chicken, butter steamed veggies, and a type of Mexican style rice. If you purchased an upgrade you could have a NY strip steak.

So in the way I saw it, my son was young enough that I was ale to have food readily available to him, but as he gets older it might be more difficult in that type of place.

Jeremiah's Italian Ice ~ DON'T EAT list

Mother's Day Resturant Food List ~ Boston Market

Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there. Today myself, kids, my mom and my dad went to Boston's Market for the Mother's special. If you don't know what that is. It is where the moms get to eat for free as long as someone is paying for their meals. So my dad and my daughter paid for food and myself and my mom where free. My son is the one with dairy allergies. So I made sure to get my chicken on its own plate so he could have some food.

They only have 4 items which he can have so here is the list of dairy free items that you can have at the restaurant.

• Rotisserie Chicken
• Rotisserie Turkey
• Steamed Vegetables
• Cinnamon Apples

Even though they veggies and apples are dairy free they are in the same area as the other dairy containing foods. The meats are kept separate and that is why I found it okay to share my chicken with him, and he loved it.
