Am I allowed to be a little snarky here? “vegan, soy-free, wheat-free, gluten-free, nut-free, refined-sugar-free sauces and spice rubs.” These are probably delicious and healthful, but all that free-dom is soooo Seattle/Portlandia. Now, folks, don’t get all Seattle on me and get your knickers in a bunch. I’m just teasing a little.

Congrats, Maria! If we can help spread the word at all, please let us know.

Sonoma, have you seen the Portlandia episode w/the Food Allergy Pride parade? It was hilarious! It is always okay to poke a bit of fun, no worries – we can take it! (Just keep the gluten, soy, etc. away! :)

Ben- thank you very much I would love your help in spreading the word! I thought that Portlandia episode was funny and so timely! There are so many people struggling with food sensitivities (including myself) and that’s why I created the product line! Sonoma- feel free to stop by one of my demos at West Seattle Thriftway sometime and taste the products!

Sorry, comment time is over.
