gluten and dairy free chex muddy buddy or puppy chow mix

Gluten free………….

hmmmmm never heard much about it before until I had a friend who’s children are  allergic to it.

So I did a little research, it seems gluten, is exactly what it sounds like its GLUE—probably not the best for our digestive system.  I can see why a healthier diet without gluten is better for you.  But it probably is somewhat easy to maintain a regular diet gluten free by eating veggies, fruits, and meats.  But when it comes to children and snacks, it is going to be a little bit more difficult to come up with some recipes that they are going to enjoy.

I know I had to do some research to come up with some snacks that were gluten and dairy free.  We did the hummus and vegetables.  Made the peanut butter, egg, and sugar cookies.  But I wanted to have something that was a familiar snack but still gluten and dairy free.

Then I found it!!
