Oh my, I absolutely am ecstatic to find Swaggerty Farms gluten-free, soy-free, and preservative free sausage. This sausage has no nitrates, no BHT, no MSG... look at the package.
Fresh Thyme in the Chicagoland area has it. As of yet, it is quite shocking to find that no Southern California store carries this product. Usually, I can find most natural, gluten-free products in the L.A. area.
Get the word out to @sproutsfarmersmarket or +Whole Foods Market sales reps. This is the best sausage I have found. Making sausage from scratch...so far for me, has been an epic failure. However, since I found this product I am super happy, especially since it is soy free and does not contain BHT.
Being extremely sensitive to foods, preservative free products work well for me. This is now my go to product for breakfast sausage. Deliciously, looking forward to experimenting with dinner recipes using this find. If you have a delightful recipe using Swaggerty Natural Sausage, please share.

Let me mention, I do not get paid for referrals for this product. If you are like me ~with food allergies~ consistently you hunt high and low for eatable foods and can appreciate why I find it important to spread the word.
Enjoy and let me know if you found it and what you think.
Years ago, my first indication not to get on certain rides at theme parks were the signs that read "remove your hearing aid and your earrings." In my younger days, I loved roller coasters. Now has come the time, as my body warned, unless you have the chiropractor appointment set the next day "don't do it"; so I resolutely listened.
California Adventure was the first stop on our complimentary theme park day at California Adventure and Disneyland in Anaheim, CA. It looks like this may have to be my last visit to the "happiest place on earth". I've read several posts that Disneyland is accommodating to people with food allergies and food intolerances. Even so, my focus in the morning was that I had enough soy-free, gluten-free snacks to get me through the day. However, I entirely forgot that with a large, crowded environment that I would encounter a perfume saturated assault to my senses. Two years ago, when we blew through our "leaving California" bucket list with my friend Rhonda and her children, I don't remember having this difficulty.
Right now I am done. My husband and daughter are off to their own devices and I will sit on a bench and enjoy the 90 degree weather and type this blog post.
With too much fragrance, lotions and potions, and waiting in the long lines, my legs have given out. I decided to ask one of the guest services personnel if the theme park started spraying deodorizers throughout the park. She assured me that was not the case. Of course, I realize the park has no control over the thousands of guests who decide to overindulge in their right to wear scented products. They want to "smell good" and unbeknownst to themselves are affecting not only people like me who would like to enjoy a day out, but cannot because of our sensitivity to the toxic output of their choice but children's health and behaviour as well.
Theme parks like this draw many children to their doors, remember it is best to keep it light or better, not at all. Although I am happy that on this trip my daughter had the opportunity to visit both theme parks, for me it is not worth the pain and ensuing fragrance fallout I will experience.
The next time, I must remember, I too have a choice as those who choose to wear fragrance, for me it is to save myself and not patron the "happiest place on earth." Seeking a breath of unadulterated air, I now wait for my family at the side of Starbucks in the back by the lockers at Disneyland as I encourage you to be savvy and scent free.
