| You had to be quick! |
Tuesday - The children had chicken nuggets, chips and vegetables
Wednesday - Homemade Pizza night
Thursday - Beef and Mushroom pie - I used this recipe from Taste.com.au - so yummy but the pastry is puff pastry so has wheat in it. You could use an allergen free version like this one.
Friday - Beef and Sesame stirfry - we enjoyed it so much last week that we made it again!
Saturday - Pea and Proscuitto Risotto - stay tuned to get the recipe :)
Sunday - Popcorn Chicken and vegies - if this works out I will post the recipe!
Cookie - Butterscotch Biscuits - from the Failsafe cookbook done with GF flour. Very sugary and very yummy. They only have 4 ingredient so it was super easy as well.
Regarding Miss 2's wheat eating - she is eating some each day (she was very unhappy when I gave her GF bread for lunch today in an attempt to finish it off: "want normal bread!") and just has a couple of spots on her face that aren't normally there. I think lots of kids have spots on their face and parents wouldn't be worried about them but since she normally had a clear face, I know that they must be related to the wheat. Still they are very small and the eczema hasn't returned so we will continue. Usually I just do one meal with wheat and the other two are wheat free apart from every now and then (like having puff pastry on the pie!). We make sure that it is pretty plain wheat food - like white bread or things with little other ingredients so that we know if she gets another reaction it will be wheat related, not some preservative etc.
HI Lib,
ReplyDeleteI tried something new this week for dessert/afternoon tea. Covers both our diets. Manages to be both nutritious & sweet at the same time.
Ingredients
1 cup dried adzuki beans
1 cup sugar
pinch salt
Method
Soak adzuki beans over night. Drain & rinse.
Cook adzuki beans in 3 cups of water using the absorption method. (cover, bring to boil, reduce heat to simmer until all water is absorbed, about 50mins)
Add sugar & salt to cooked beans
Mash (kids liked doing this)
Then serve small amounts topped with - 5am Organic Natural yoghurt (from Woolies - best salicylate free yoghurt around!)
or add to milk for a "chocolate" flavoured milk shake (although I wouldn't tell the kids it tastes like chocolate - they told me.)
or use as a crepe filling
or an ice cream topping
Yum.Greta (typically was happy to eat bucket loads, the boys liked about a tablespoon at a time)
Hey Lauren - where can you get adzuki beans from? I've never heard of them! Miss 2 wouldn't be able to have the yoghurt on top although I suppose her vanilla soy one might be alright.
ReplyDeleteI imagine your local health food store might stock them. I got them from the fruit & vege shop at Warringah Mall that specialises in dried beans & nuts.
ReplyDeleteI've also been experimenting with sweet red kidney bean dishes, made a cake the other day but needs perfecting.
Soy yoghurt/milk/ice cream would be nice.
Hope all is well.
Love Lozz
