Here's a yummy shout out to Slappy Cakes restaurant on Belmont where you make your own pancakes at your table, add toppings, get silly and have fun. They offer a vegan batter or a gluten-free batter and are now (due to my request) working on offering a vegan and gluten-free batter... I am literally holding my breath.

And now, for some gluten-free news hot off the press - Protect Allergic Children (PAC) is a program offered by the national not-for-profit organization Eating & Educating, Living Life (ELL) that advocates for more "complete and accurate allergen ingredient food labeling and manages a nationwide program of training services on food allergy safety to schools, camps, daycare facilities and home environments".

What a wonderful and much needed cause!! Yours truly is looking into becoming a certified consultant in my quest to help and improve the food-allergic community.
