Dear bloggers:

In response to a question about locating allergy-friendly restaurants, I want to let everyone know that the WINTER 2007 issue of LIVING WITHOUT has a fantastic article on 200+ "Allergy-friendly Restaurants", listed state by state. This is a great resource. The magazine is on the stands now, so go and grab one!

Also, somebody asked for soup recipes. My book has a lot of soup recipes, or you can visit the following links to Care2 where they posted a couple of my soup recipes last year.

Enjoy Life just sent me the following recipe. This is a great idea for an allergen-free Holiday Gift. Make up a batch, and package in pretty cookie tins. Great for teachers, friends, and family!

Enjoy Life™ Chocolate Bark
(perfect for the holidays!)

Ingredients
1 10 oz. package Enjoy Life™ semi-sweet chocolate chips (dairy, soy and gluten free)
1 6 oz. package Enjoy Life™ Not Nuts! nut-free trail mix
1 1/2 teaspoons vegetable oil (safflower or canola work well)

Directions
Grease or spray a 5"x11" or 8"x8" pan

Mix together Enjoy Life™ chocolate chips and oil in a microwave safe container. Microwave mixture on high for 30 second and stir. Continue microwaving mixture until melted while making sure to stir occasionally, about every 20 seconds. Total time may be about 1 minute, depending on the microwave oven.

Stir Enjoy Life™ Not Nuts! nut-free trail mix into the melted mixture and spread to about 1/4 - 1/2 inches thick, onto greased pan. Chill for 15 minutes. Remove from refrigerator, break into pieces and munch away! Store this scrumptious candy in an airtight container at room temperature and share with family and friends.
