Well, it’s been a little serious here lately, what with probiotic trials, paper eating, and Mommy Meltdowns, so I’m lightening it up a bit with a new recipe today! When Jed was first diagnosed with MPI (Milk Protein Intolerance) I struggled mightily in the kitchen. ALL of my limited cooking … Continue reading
In February, I had a miserable time trying to make some Valentine’s Day chocolates for Jed. The poor child has never had a chocolate bar in his life, and I was determined to make some for him! I failed, but I vowed I would keep trying until I got it … Continue reading
On Monday I talked about Zac’s ongoing FPIES reactions, and how he’s had some “unidentifiable somethings that LOOK like they might be food, but really, I don’t know” in his diaper that were our only clue as to what might be causing his current acute/chronic reactions. And we really did … Continue reading
So here’s the story: it’s Monday afternoon, and time for me to make some dinner for my family. I’ve fallen out of my meal planning routine months ago, thanks to Zac and Jed’s food issues (I have to get back into that!) and I have NO idea what to make … Continue reading
It’s been a while since I really just wrote about what is happening with the boys, so here’s the latest: Jed is doing well on our Fructose Malabsorption diet, and we’re trialing him on different foods to see how he handles them. So far, we’ve tried coconut shreds, coconut milk, … Continue reading
I had to share this with you! This was dinner for the boys last night: Pretty unremarkable looking, I suppose…until you find out that these quesadillas were made with homemade vegan cheddar that TASTES GOOD!!! I wish I could take credit for this recipe, but I cannot. The brilliant mind … Continue reading
One thing I figured out early on in my elimination diet is that I’m basically eating a modified (and greatly limited) Paleo Diet. I’m not convinced that strictly Paleo is the way to go, but I can’t argue that grains (specifically wheat) and sugar are poison for my body! Consequently, … Continue reading
Today is Rare Disease Day. This is a worldwide initiative to bring greater awareness to those who suffer with rare diseases. Rare Disease Day in the United States is sponsored by NORD (National Organization for Rare Disorders) and Rare Disease Day Worldwide is sponsored by Eurodis (Rare Diseases Europe). … Continue reading
Can you guess what I’m making? Homemade Salsa, of course! Ever since receiving the Mayo Clinic Fructose Malabsorption diet, I’ve been expanding Mr. Charm’s diet. Tomato sauces are out, but fresh tomatos are back IN. Woot! That got me thinking about snack foods: Mr. Charm LOVES chips with salsa (takes … Continue reading
They say that Valentine’s Day is about Love. <snort> I disagree. Valentine’s Day is about CHOCOLATE! Until I married the Geek, I rarely had a “beau” on Valentine’s Day. Just my luck, I always either met a guy right after the Big V, or my relationship ended right before … Continue reading
