Posted by Courtney Lopez on

banana ice cream

One of Sweet Baby’s first safe foods with her FPIES was Bananas.  Just recently we’ve been adding more and more to her SAFE food list!  One of her favorites has been Enjoy Life Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips they’re Gluten, Dairy, Nut & Soy Free!  Since we received the  Nostalgia Electrics  Fro-Frutti Frozen Fruit Dessert Maker we’ve been making lots of “ice cream” with frozen fruits.  I think the Fro-Frutti review has been the tastiest review Sweet Baby has every done!  I can literally freeze any fruit and turn it into a frozen treat for her.  Many of her safe foods are berries and they come out pretty well too!

Creamy Chicken with Fire Roasted Corn Recipe

I’m always looking for ways to reinvent the food we eat, and at the same time incorporate healthy options instead of richer/fattier food. I love anything over rice.. we try to limit our rice to about 3 times a month so when we have it I want it paired with the ultimate comfort food. Ultimate comfort food to me is a rich and creamy dish where you’d have heavy cream or loads of butter.. however with the use of a blender you can get that same creamy mouth feel and even your tummy will thank you. At least mine does!
