Today she ate two pieces of cinnamon/truvia toast w/ water. One of my girlfriends came over today so our kids could play together. Her kids have various allergies to foods so it was nice to get some first hand advice and to get some ideas on what kinds of snacks and meals I can make for her.
For dinner tonight I made homemade chicken nuggets. This recipe called for quinoa flour for the breading. It was pretty easy. Just take some organic chicken breasts and cut them up into bite size pieces. Heat olive oil in frying pan. Beat one egg and place in bowl. In separate bowl, place ground quinoa flour, some garlic and herbs of choice for taste. Take the chicken bits, and mix in egg and then dip in the quinoa flour. Place in hot oil until chicken is cooked and golden brown. I liked the chicken nuggets. They didn't taste any different than any other nuggets. They were actually better. Jeannette didn't love them, but she ate them anyway. She had her yogurt w/ the probiotic. The nutritionist said that she should be having the probiotic 2-3 times a day, but that's hard to do. I don't have much to mix the probiotic in. Tonight instead of giving her chocolate coconut or almond milk, I made my own. I was trying to put in a few of her pills and added carob powder, but it got all lumpy and the pills weren't mixing well. I pulled out my magic bullet blender, added a little ice and, viola, I had a smoothie. Jeannette said it was pretty good.
I spoke with my sister tonight. I was telling her that I was having a hard time finding things for her to eat, and again, she told me that if I can find 5 or 6 things that she'll eat, just continue to rotate them throughout the week. After the kids went to bed, I made Jeannette some more fudge. I poured it on top of the brownies that I made earlier in the week. It made the brownies a little more edible. I also made her some homemade lemonade with Xylitol instead of sugar. It was a little too watered down, but I thought it would be okay for her.
