So many ice creams these days are filled with too much sugar, even if you get organic.  People tend to think organic is healthy.  Yes, it’s better for you than non-organic, but is it really BETTER FOR YOU?.. Unfortunately Kay is addicted to sweets, like her mommy and daddy!

New England Clam Chowder Recipe with Flounder

Posted by Courtney Lopez on

A rich and creamy New England Clam Chowder recipe where we swapped Flounder for Clams.  Very subtle flavor of the sea with the flounder make this a great soup for FPIES trailing something new.

New England Clam Chowder Recipe with Flounder

We recently wanted to add another protein to Kay’s diet.  Since she has FPIES we have to trial each new food she tries.  We’ve contemplated turkey for quite some time, but “chickened” out thanks to her Chicken FPIES food allergy.  Doctors typically say that after 18 months to 2 years you can retrial the trigger foods.  Since chicken and turkey are so close, we’ve decided to hold off for now.  Right now her only safe proteins are beef, pork, salmon, and we’re working on flounder!

My daughter has never enjoyed a bite of cheesecake.  She’s two years old!  Obviously, with all her new food passes, we had to take it slow and we had a bunch of hiccups.  Cream cheese caused us a ton of confusion with her FPIES (what is fpies?) food allergy.

For awhile she would have a chronic reaction whenever she had cream cheese, but she’s never experienced a chronic reaction with any other food.  We waited quite a few months to try cream cheese again.  Just recently we also found a graham cracker that has NO soy!  Plus they’re non-gmo and even organic!

Kay loves to snack on these honey grahams, and as soon as we found these we knew we had to try cream cheese again.  Thankfully it went well and she can now safely eat cream cheese!  Of course, we had to rush and make a cheesecake.  Not just any cheesecake.. but a vanilla bean cheesecake.  Kay loves chocolate and berries so we obviously had to top with chocolate covered strawberries.  We’re not a fan of cooked down fruit so we just left them as is.

One Ingredient Chocolate Ice Cream | TruMoo Chocolate Milk

Posted by Courtney Lopez on

This is a partnered post for TruMoo with SocialMoms.

With Sweet Baby finally passing so many foods (just recently passed wheat, hooray!) we can enjoy more treats!  Our one hurdle is ice cream and cake.  She still hasn’t had either since she can’t have eggs and couldn’t have a flour until recently.   We actually have a powerful blender that can pulverize anything and I heard about TruMoo.  TruMoo is flavored milk that is nutritious and delicious!  I feel a little better that it contains no artificial growth hormones and also has less sugar and calories than other chocolate milks. TruMoo DOESN’T have any high fructose corn syrup either!
