Well I'm ready to talk about it. Lucky you. Last week I cleaned out my panty, not just organized it but hucked everything that I could possibly use to assault my health. Darn you powdered sugar. My pantry was naked, but slowly I am filling it with healthy snacks made by my chubby fingers.
I'll be posting some of my recipes soon. The kids hate me, they keep asking where their granola bars went and I keep reminding them there are ones I made in the snack box. I like the new granola snacks, they miss the food I've always let them have.
I've made granola, black bean patties, chicken on a stick, crepes made with spelt flour, folks, I even made oat milk. Piper is a milk-a-holic and probably needs to be in a group somewhere. She also struggles with eczema. Her dr said that milk can play a role is exacerbating eczema. So we have discontinued dairy at this house. Let me tell you...World War III. Seriously. I made oat milk, added some vanilla and maple syrup to it, but she hates it. I even tried to hide in it a regular milk container. She is no fool. ha ha ha. I just keep reminding myself that in time they will get used to it and maybe even like these new foods.
Last night, Tristan ate 2 bean patties and when I was giving the littles a bath, he helped himself to a 1/2 a cup of almonds. I almost got frustrated because I was going to use those in my salad, but I was reminded of what a good choice that was and it was not accompanied by any kind of complaining about their being no fritos in the snack bin. Good boy Tristan, you're keeping mommy sane.
So,
let's go on this crazy journey together, enjoy some new food, laugh at my crazy life and encourage each other along the way. Here we go!
