Thanks to our friend at avoidingmilkprotein.com, we have traversed the city in search of peanut free confections! Last summer we tried to find Loostsalicious, the peanut free ice cream parlor.

Our family recently took a trip to Toronto for a little family vacation. I will admit, I was nervous about food.
