“Sanofi US is supporting the Diabetes Hands Foundation with an initial $10,000 program sponsorship. But, when the documentary reaches 10,000 online views, Sanofi US will double that sponsorship for a total of $20,000!”
Watch the 15 minute Strength in Numbers documentary.

We eat a lot of pancakes and waffles in our house. But I’m finding it not so easy to find pancake mix that doesn’t have milk in it. I don’t shop at Meijer that often, but I’ve been heading there occasionally because they carry a few items that are free of the allergens we are avoiding. I usually make chocolate chip pancakes using Enjoy Life* chocolate chips. But on my most recent trip, I spotted this Meijer Naturals chocolate chip pancake mix. I used soy milk instead of regular milk.
The kids thought they were very good and we all agreed that they were generous with the chocolate chips. I would probably buy this mix again.
I will say that I used the ingredient measurements to make 14 pancakes, used a 1/4 cup measuring cup to pour them on the griddle as instructed, and it only yielded 11 pancakes.
If your child has a milk or tree nut allergy, what are some of your favorite finds?
*Enjoy Life products are free of the top 8 allergens.
