New Snack

So planning meals is great, but sometimes I just need to have something quick for my daughter to eat. Preferably it will be somewhat nutritious with some protein for her tummy!!:) Believe it or not she does not always like to eat cut up chicken or turkey!!:) So today we had a new treat, which came about on a whim. Odin and Penelope were going to have grilled cheese, (I know not dairy free, but they did have it on white rice bread), and I just didn't feel like making something completely different. So, I improvised to create Eloise's toasted cream cheese. I toasted a piece of tapioca bread, and then I spread some Toffuti cream cheese alternative on top, folded it in half, broke it into pieces, and viola, she had her own "grilled cheese". She LOVED it!!! It was all eaten quite quickly, and I tasted it too, it was good!!:) I'm so glad to find something quick and easy that she likes and actually eats instead of throwing off her plate! Whew!!! I love finding something that makes my day easier!!:) So if you need a snack, try this out!!:)

Not Forgotten!!:)

Hey there!! Sorry for the giant break!! We had a birthday, and a few illnesses, so my time was required elsewhere:) We have been doing our best to continue, but there have been a few slips, mainly in the frozen chicken nugget category while I have been sick. But all in all, I am still quite proud of our progress. I will post details about Eloise's awesome 1st birthday, that was completely dairy and gluten free, and still very delicious!!:) I've also recently introduced white rice bread to my older two children, and they really enjoyed it. We also now think that Eloise has a sensitivity to egg. I introduced half of a hard boiled egg yolk to her, and she got two hives on her wrist, one under her lip, and one on her cheek. She also did not sleep well that evening and her eczema broke out...YIKES!!!:) I think she is going to keep us on our toes!!:) Well, again sorry for the long break, and I will soon post about the party and how we kept it fun with "Free" foods!!:)
