Taking Anxiety out of Mealtimes
My girls and I are OBSESSED with throwing parties. So much so that my oldest wanted to help plan her OWN princess-themed birthday party this year!! Here's what we did to make it totally awesome and totally ALLERGY-FRIENDLY. (Plus it contains the most decadent, vegan, gluten free chocolate cake you can ever imagine!!)
This weekend I was watching a YouTube star's "What I Eat in a Day" video. (The things I do to unwind during quarantine. 🤷♀️) And I thought, "Now, I could do that!" Well...not a video. But a blog post about what my 19-month-old daughter eats in a day - with the added twist of her 5 major food allergies. So here we are: A typical day in the life of what my daughter eats.
These 6 dinners are my super easy, super yummy go-to meals. My toddler loves them AND they're free of nuts (other than coconut), dairy, gluten and sesame. Win, win!
I'm always looking for new allergy-friendly recipes that are healthy and easy. And these are my 4 favorite blogs to browse!
If you've been following my blog, you know that we've had some stressful times trying to get my 18 month old to eat real food. After the epipen incident, she just wanted to nurse 10 times a day and snack on Cheerios and baby oatmeal. The best thing I did was meet with a dietician, who helped me come up with a list of safe foods for my daughter. I put this list on my phone and pulled it up whenever I was panicking over what to feed her next. And that's what I'm hoping this blog post can be for you. All the following snacks are free of gluten, dairy, soy, peanuts and tree nuts (other than coconut). Many are also free from eggs and coconut. So here you go: 21 Quick, Easy and Allergy-Friendly Snacks for Toddlers.
