Food Sensitivity Check In

webMistress0609

This check in is for mamas who have had to restrict their diet due to food sensitivities in their LOs or themselves.

The theme for this week is snack foods. I'm going to do meals over the next few weeks. This week is snacks, then lunch, then dinner.  Last week was breakfast. Here is a link to that thread if you're catching up.

Any random tips, vents, etc. are also welcome.

For on the go, Rice Chex & Terra Sweets & Beets chips are quick & easy.

Fruits & steamed veggies are a big hit with both Ari & me. We're also big fans of DHs wheat free flat bread & hummus.

DD loves rice crisps with sunflower or peanut butter. In fact she is obsessed with her "pea-buts". I am always hearing "nak-nak-bite-bite". I am almost afraid to give her somethng new in fear she will really like it and expect that it can appear at any moment :-). We have also been buying the apple/carrot sauces that come in squeezable pouches from Trader Joes that are easy to take on the go. I was pleasantly surprised that she could have the special snack at school today which was Chocolate Cheerios. I wouldn't buy them at home but she was very excited to have them today.

One of the parents brought in a surprise chocolate cake for their son's birthdy last week so I didn't know to bring in a treat for DD. She handled it well but it bummed me out. Her B-day is next month so I am trying to decide what to bring for her class. I prefer not to do a uber-sugary cake type thing and was thinking of bringing supplies to make hemp milk smoothies but am not sure yet..

Ugh, I had a whole response and it got eaten TWICE!! >:-(

I eat fresh fruits and veggies (baby carrots, clementines, pineapple, etc.), Nana's cookie bars, the Enjoy Life or Trader Joe's brand of snickerdoodle cookies are so effing delicious and allergy-safe, dried fruit, sweet potato chips, or leftovers.  I also like the fruit leathers that are all-natural and stuff.  If I'm just going to be hanging out at home, I throw a sweet potato in the oven and have a delicious snack an hour later.  

I always cook so much food so it can carry me for a few days and be a snack, dinner if I don't want to cook, etc.

(I'm mainly a lurker, but actually have something to add in on this one!)

100 calorie Oreo thin crisps are both dairy & soy free!  That and Enjoy Life chocolate chips are my chocolate fixes these days.  I also snack on lots of fresh fruits & veggies w/ hummus.

we're gluten/soy-free, but we do lite dairy.

for sprout: ditto rice chex. we usually bring those with fresh fruit when it is our week to provide shared snack at her school. there's a brand of animal crackers and graham crackers we'll use for that as well. they're a little more sugary than i'd do otherwise, but it really makes a difference for her to be able to have the same snack as her classmates sometimes. we're letting her have some yogurt cheese, and it is her new fave snack. also meatballs. DH makes them with GF oats and ground turkey, chicken, or lamb (baked). fruit of any kind. also breakfast bars based on these (but w/o chocolate): https://chocolateandzucchini.com/archives/2008/11/wholesome_banana_chocolate_breakfast_bars.php 

for me: i eat a lot of nuts and fruit. i have a serious clementine addiction this time of year. i think they may have natural mood stabilizers or something in them i usually go for blue diamond nut crackers and tortilla chips when i need something crunchy. and who doesn't love those enjoy life chocolate chips? mmm.
