New Recipes, Blog Posts: Freedible News

August is a time of vacations for some and back-to-school madness for others. Either way, here's a little update on some of the new content on freedible you might have missed.

Whether you've been hitting the beach or the school supplies aisle, August is prime time for being away from your computer! As the freedible family heads north for our own family retreat, we thought we'd leave you something to read & something to eat.

When we get back, we'll be all about back-to-school. For those of you in the throws of it already, don't miss our special back-to-school event: we are collecting posts, stories, thoughts and inspirations on getting our custom-powered kids back to school in food-safety style. Browse them today - or add your own!

Happy eating, and a joyous end to August!
