Like Mother, Like Daughter

Sometimes the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree. Apparently not only did Emily inherit her big cheeks and crazy hair from her Mother, but she also received her love of Cream Cheese & Jelly sandwiches.

Here's Erin, circa 1979:



And now Emily, in 2008:


The only difference between the sandwiches is that while Erin's was made with real cream cheese, Emily's was made with Tofutti (I can just hear Josh gagging at the thought of Tofu based products). In case you didn't know, poor Cheeks is allergic to dairy. And not lactose intolerant- we're talking hives here. So, needless to say, finding food that Emily can eat is always a challenge.

Thankfully Trader Joe's carries several dairy free products, such as banana waffles and pancakes. However, Emily's favorite so far are Tofutti Blintzes. Not QUITE as good as the real thing, but hey, she doesn't know the difference.

And so we leave you with one last photo of Miss Emily enjoying her first Blintz...


Happy Labor Day, everybody!
