Hi Mamas, feel free to jump in on this check-in.

Here are some questions for this week:

1. Brief intro/re-intro of yourself and your LO's food issues.

2. What are your favorite new foods that work for your diet?

3. Have you made any progress with re-introducing foods lately?

4. Any good recipes to share?

turtles7 - how did things go last week?

1. Brief intro/re-intro of yourself and your LO's food issues.
I have a 13.5mo old son with allergies to milk, egg, peanut, and tree nuts. I am avoiding all those foods for him.

2. What are your favorite new foods that work for your diet?
Lately I've been really enjoying popcorn. I also bought a rotisserie chicken at Costco (cheap!) and made an amazing chicken soup with it. I have to admit I'm pretty proud of that!

3. Have you made any progress with re-introducing foods lately?
Sadly, no. The last change we made was months ago when I added baked egg into my diet, but still not directly to LO.

4. Any good recipes to share?
Tonight's discovery: popcorn! I bought an air popper, and used a delicious seasoning and nutritional yeast with some earth balance, and it was incredible!

@frenchtoast, I've never made cauliflower rice. Do you use a food processor to make it?

mooncharm It went ok. Her eczema flared up again over the weekend. She had her 4 month appointment today and the dr advised not to cut out dairy just yet. We are trying new lotions first.
