Eating Without Eggs

We've found out that so far, having Hadley eat egg-free isn't that difficult. She is just now making that transition from jarred baby foods and pureed baby food to more table top foods, so she's typically eating something different from the rest of us, or she's just eating a portion of what we are eating. Because of my pregnancy, we do tend to eat out more often, so it is hard knowing if egg is in something. Typically fruits and vegetables are okay, but bread is always a tricky one... typical breads we eat at home do not contain eggs, so a grilled cheese at home is fine, but when we're out, we aren't sure if the restaurant's homemade bread is or is not made with eggs. So, we just have to pack a lot more of our own stuff to ensure she's eating egg-free.


However, once Hadley is eating more of what we are all eating, we will have to be VERY careful. This means, when we go to birthday parties, Hadley can't eat the cakes or ice cream there. She can't have muffins or banana bread. She can't eat the same snacks that Avery eats occasionally. So, starting now, we have to start limiting all of the family's egg intake. The only thing I won't limit is Avery's intake of actual eggs. She loves scrambled eggs and since they are good for her, we won't limit that. Those days, Hadley will just have to have a different breakfast. I found some egg-free waffles and Pinterest and Google are useful for other egg-free recipes.
