Keep Food Fun


One of the things I've definitely learned in this journey is that just because our food is allergen-free, that doesn't mean it can't still be fun. We try and make shapes using cooke cutters, or funny faces. Here are some examples of nutrient dense foods that we feed the kids.

  • Carrots/Celery with sunbutter or cashew butter
  • Mrs. May's cashew crunch
  • Lundberg rice cakes (brown rice plain, apple/cinnamon)
  • Larabar (all are dairy, soy & gluten free, my boys like lemon, cashew cookie, key lime, cherry pie, pecan pie)
  • Sunbutter/Jelly sandwiches or crackers
  • Diced Avocado
  • Diced Sweet Potatoes
  • Applesauce with ground flax seeds in it
  • Natural fruit leather
  • Dried fruit (sulfite free)
  • Lettuce Wraps - ham or turkey lunchmeat wrapped around green leaf lettuce
  • "Blueberry monsters" - safe cracker topped with sunbutter & then blueberries for 'eyes'

Melissa: We like Mary's Gone Cracker's, or Glutino crackers. Both are dairy/gluten free. Best wishes!
