That was six-year-old Noah over the microphone at his first Cub Scout Pinewood Derby: he built and raced a SunButter car! We are so proud, and we're especially thrilled his family shares their story. Go, Noah, go: you're on a roll! Noah makes friends easily and is very social with just about everybody. He has severe nut, dairy, egg and shellfish allergies. He and his family have eaten SunButter products since Noah was four years old. His family eats SunButter (and avoids nuts and nut butters) to keep Noah safe since he is very sensitive to nuts and even reacts with hive breakouts just by the nut protein touching his skin. His family believes it’s best to not to have Noah’s allergens in the house. One of the big events for Cub Scouts every year is the Pinewood Derby. Noah and his dad, Kevin, thought long and hard about what theme to focus upon for Noah’s first Cub Scout Pinewood Derby car. Noah wanted to make the car something exciting and handsome and wanted it to be a brilliant blue color with orange flames coming off the wheels and he wanted great decals. He also wanted a theme for the car to represent something he likes.

Food is fuel. Food is also fun! One of our weekly highlights is seeing photos of what Keeley McGuire packs in fun bento lunches for her lucky daughter, who also happens to have a peanut allergy. We’re proud Keeley shares her story here, and we love watching her daughter thrive. Thanks, Keeley! Look at this lunch: My name is Keeley and I have a little site called Keeley McGuire Blog. When I started blogging last year, I didn’t really know what direction I was headed – I just knew I needed a creative outlet. I started sharing some crafts, recipes, my love affair with my crockpot, and what I called “silly sandwiches” for my daughter, aka Little Miss. If you’re a mom looking to spice up your kiddos’ lunches, start simple. Use a cookie cutter on the sandwich! It takes the same amount of effort to cut a sandwich into a fun shape with a cookie cutter as it does to cut it in half. Then, get as clever as you’d like.

What do you do when peanut butter is your first love but you have nut allergies? Find a peanut butter substitute—and a sunny new lifestyle. Check out this post from Candice of Infectiously Optimistic. Thanks for sharing your story--and your favorite recipes, Candice! I'm a big believer that whether or not you eat breakfast in the morning, and what you choose to eat, dictates the quality of your day. When I was little, I knew it was going to be a good day when I got to be the one to open a brand new jar of peanut butter. I lived for that moment where your butter knife first plunges into the creamy, untouched, golden brown peanut butter and adheres decadently to the clean blade. I loved the way it seeped into the nooks and crannies of my warm honey wheat english muffin as it melted and became one with the dough. It was breakfast bliss.

Hi! It’s STUFT Mama again. I’m so excited to be back to share an amazing recipe with you all. In case you missed it, my last guest post here was about guilt-free holiday treats. I’m a big believer in moderation and making smart choices, especially during the holidays. That being said, I’m also a big believer in impressing my friends and family with my holiday cookies every year. As crazy as this year has been, it is no exception. I’m not quite sure when the holidays snuck up on me. I was a little late getting out the decorations and ordering the Christmas cards this year. (I also may have a little a lot of last-minute shopping that still needs to get done.) I guess that’s what happens when I’m training for a marathon, running a business, teaching fitness classes, blogging at STUFT Mama and trying to take care of almost-two-year-old twin boys. Hmmm… Go figure. One thing I did manage to do though this year is create these amazing STUFT SunButter Doughtzel Balls.

Jennifer is a work-at-home mother of two. Her son has eczema, allergies, and asthma, and her daughter has mild eczema. She blogs about her family’s journey to itch-free, sneeze-free, wheeze-free days at It’s an Itchy Little World. She is the founder of The Eczema Company. Oodles of fun with eczema & allergies When most new moms are found cooing over their newborn’s deliciously smooth skin, instead I was questioning why my baby’s skin was not “soft as a baby’s you-know-what” and was slightly dry. When parents are usually caught up in the excitement of tummy time and baby’s first smiles and laughs, my husband and I were too, but we were also pondering our baby’s eczema diagnosis.

Families across the world are constantly learning to live life to the fullest while dealing with food allergies. Laura and her husband discovered Nya’s peanut allergy when she was only 11 months old. (Unfortunately, the daycare didn’t read Lisa’s advice to avoid peanuts until age two.) Fortunately, the initial reaction was only mild—resulting in a rash. Nya was then diagnosed with a level one peanut allergy.

We tested peanut butter vs. SunButter in a familiar holiday and Christmas cookie recipe: peanut butter blossoms (made with HERSHEY'S® KISS cookies or Brach’s® Stars cookies). See how the peanut butter version compared to the SunButter version with the pickiest food critics of all: kids. Who better to taste test cookies than a group of Girl Scouts?

You think you’re too busy to bake? Meet Kristin, mom of toddler twin boys, who she pushes in a stroller in half marathons and other races. She also cooks and bakes nut-free—and blogs! Just in time for holiday baking, here’s a guest post from Kristin, blogger at STUFT Mama. Thanks, Kristin, for sharing your race experience (so proud of you!), and two yummy SunButter recipes. We are thankful for you. Hello! I’m Kristin. I'm the busy mom of toddler twin boys behind the healthy lifestyle blog STUFT Mama. I had the pleasure of writing a guest post earlier this year on SunButter Smoothies, and I’m so excited for another opportunity to share some more healthy treats. Before I get to all the SunButter yumminess, I just have to say thank you to all our friends at SunButter for their support in a special race earlier this month. I pushed my two 30-pound boys 13.1 miles in San Diego’s Silver Strand Half Marathon to raise money for a very special deaf little girl.

We get plenty of emails, and most of the messages brighten our days. Some emails really intrigue us. Like the email from a gentleman who expressed his love for SunButter and suggested we promote it more to people like him who are following a low carb/paleo diet lifestyle. There’s a lot more to his story, and we’re grateful he agreed to share it. Thanks for sharing, Mr. North Carolina. We’re proud to be a part of your amazing journey, and we’re rooting for you! Hi, my name is Vainglory. Well, my real name isn’t Vainglory, or else my parents would have some explaining to do. It’s actually my online name so I can mask my identity. But you can see me in a recent photo:
