I’m definitely not against the classic kid snacks—my kids also eat Goldfish, sometimes Cheetos, and when we are out and about all the other usual suspects 🍫🥨. But when I have the option, I like to stock up on these better-for-you choices. They’re still convenient, kid-approved, and taste great, but with ingredients I feel a little better about. Perfect for lunchboxes, road trips, or after-school snacks!
There is nothing I love more in life than a margarita and chips and salsa in hand at a Mexican restaurant. Whether with friends, family, or my fiancé, I frequent Mexican restaurants in metro Detroit and this list compiles my favorites for the next time you need inspiration for a meal out.

I will say that my top favorite is Ninfas because the Mexican food is incredible, but the chips and green sauce they serve fresh at every table is THE BEST!

There are a few places on this list that are outside that limit - they are worthy! My requirements have changed a bit in the past couple of years after being diagnosed with Celiac disease, so most of these do a good job providing good options that don’t induce a reaction. I have also included a few that, although not great for me, still deserve a mention.

Yes, I did try the pod method but I found it to be so wasteful. This is the best coffee machine out there and my favorite coffees and teas.

I know the coffee lovers out there will appreciate this list. Also, if you have a coffee that is delicious don't gatekeep girl. Comment and let me know!!

Here are all of the products we buy on repeat to stock our pantry. Lots of dairy free snacks, lots of healthier snack options, anything great for travel. I have to pack all kinds of food and snacks for even the smallest outing for us because we have food allergies.
