The January 29th Martha Stewart Show will Feature Recipe for Divvies Nut- and Dairy-free Cupcakes
On Tuesday, January 29th, Lori Sandler, creator of Divvies (the nut- and dairy-free treats that are "made to share"), and her son Benjamin, will join Martha Stewart on her show to make their notoriously moist and delicious cupcakes without using the traditional ingredients: milk and eggs.
Lori Sandler started Divvies with her husband Mark as a sweet solution for the millions who have serious food allergies and can't share in the fun of party treats or even the simplest playdate snacks. Sandler was determined to bring the yummy, safe confections she'd perfected for her son, Benjamin, who has life-threatening food allergies, to the rescue of other parents who were struggling to find delicious treats for their children with food allergies.
Sending a gift of Divvies cupcakes is like sending a delicious, creative Valentine's party in a box.
While milk, eggs and nuts get left out of every Divvies treat, the key ingredient to the company's success is that kids don't get left out when it comes to eating and celebrating. Hence, Divvies tag line: "made to share"! Martha Stewart invited Lori and her son Benjamin into her television kitchen to share with her world-wide audience how simple it is to bake something sweet and delicious that can include rather than exclude guests with food allergies.
"Isn't it nice that your mom makes all these treats for you?" Martha asked Benjamin on set. Benjamin let Martha know that his mom doesn't just make this whole line of gourmet treats just for him, but for everyone.
Check local listings for the network and time this segment will air on Tuesday, January 29th. Contact Martha Stewart directly and air your thoughts, comments and support for segments like the one featuring Divvies that deal in with food allergies, in a very practical way.

Crock Pot Hungarian Goulash
Recipe created by Kathy Przywara
Made without milk, soy, gluten, wheat, peanut, egg, tree nut, corn, fish, shellfish, sesame.
Ingredients
1 1/2 lbs. lean stew beef
1/4 cup flour
salt and pepper to taste
2 Tbsp olive oil
2 Tbsp Hungarian paprika
small bag baby carrots
8 ribs celery, diced large
2 medium onions, diced large
2 cloves garlic, minced
water
4 large potatoes, diced large (optional)
1 1/2 cups frozen peas (optional)
Instructions
Cut meat into bite sized pieces. Coat meat with flour seasoned with salt and pepper. Be generous with the salt as this dish tends to take a lot of salt. Heat oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet and brown meat on all sides. Add more oil if sticking occurs. Add paprika and saute for about 1 more minute.
Layer ingredients in crock pot and add water just to cover. Cook on low for 8-10 hours on until everything is tender. You can cook it on high for about 5 hours, on the stovetop in a heavy covered pot on a very low simmer, or in a tightly covered casserole in the oven at 325 degrees F. Stir occasionally, especially if using one of the quicker cooking methods.
If using potatoes, add after 4 hours of cooking. Add them during the last 1 1/2 to 2 hours if using the faster cooking methods. Stir occasionally. Add peas during the last hour of cooking if using. Adjust seasoning before serving. If using potatoes, serve as is, otherwise serve over hot pasta.
