Sometimes it’s hard to keep things interesting at breakfast when you’re on a gluten-free and paleo diet. I’ve read of some great paleo options that aren’t gluten-free so I can’t try them, so when I ran across this recipe today I fell in love with it – too bad it’s mid afternoon and I’ll have to wait till tomorrow morning to try them!
Recently while chatting with some friends about the subject of food allergies and kids, I was surprised when one of them mentioned that his son’s school has started sectioning off the kids with food allergies into a separate classroom. Sadly, yes, you read that right – the food-allergic kids have their own classroom. He said the logic was that this prevented the other non-alergic (read “normal”) kids from having to limit which foods they take to school, so they can bring whatever they wanted. No one has to worry about peanut allergies, and can go back to PBJ sandwiches for example. Apparently the school felt this would help prevent kids from making fun of the allergic – kids (who made food an issue for the non-allergy kids).
REALLY? Do we really think that by separating our kids we’re preventing them from being made fun of? Quite simply, it goes to show how important it is to help understand how we can make our allergic kiddos feel ‘normal’, regardless of their differences.
Some dinner inspiration, thanks to Michael Lomonaco of Porter House New York. It requires a bit of prepping as it calls for soaking the chicken overnight, but as one of my favorite dishes, I plan to give this one a shot this weekend!
As a Primal Blueprint diet devotee, I turn to chicken several times a week, and love this recipe for the delicious flavor of the brick-preparation and use of the full bird. Bon Apetit!
A friend sent me this recipe from Kitchen Addiction as a great idea for a sweet/salty treat, and suggested they would make nice home-made gifts too, and I have to admit that home-made gifts have that special touch store-bought gifts can lack and I personally love a home-made gift. You can wrap them in some cellophane and use a simple ribbon to tie them, or give them in decorative tins, but whatever you do, be sure to share these and you’ll win big points as these are DELISH!
