I think I already posted about my yummy blueberry/lemon egg-free muffins I made. I made another batch the other day. They were good, but not quite as good as the first batch. Still perfecting my baking skills.
Today I made some homemade granola. 1) Because someone posted the link to the recipe online and I had almost all of the ingredients on hand and 2) it's an egg-free breakfast! We have been eating a lot of yogurt and fruit lately since we can't do the egg thing. But I love granola in yogurt, so I was really excited to pick up some vanilla yogurt and blueberries during my last shopping trip in anticipation of the homemade granola.... and boy was it good!
Here is the link to the granola recipe if you are interested:
And here is the link to the blog I got that link from (because I don't know what's the etiquette on giving credit in the blog-world):
For lunch, I attempted a mayo-free tuna salad. I craved tuna a lot with Little Monster and had my one can a week every week during the end of my pregnancy. This time, I'm not craving it as much, but every once in a while it just sounds good. I scoured the internet in finding ideas, but other than a lot of ideas, I couldn't find "the" recipe. So I just decided to make my own.
I did 2 cans of tuna, drained. Some lemon juice. Some Italian dressing. Some dillweed. Some paprika (very little, I like a little kick). Some chives. Some onion salt. Some avocado, which wasn't very ripe and probably would have tasted better if it had been a little softer. I think I'm going to try this one more and use a really ripe avocado, blended with some honey. I saw that idea online and though, ugh, honey? Too sweet. But my tuna salad ended up being a little too bitter and could really use a hint of sweetness. I added a little honey mustard to the bread, but it wasn't enough sweetness to help.
I liked it enough to have a sandwich and the rest of Tiny Dancer's sandwich. She didn't like it, but that's not surprising and she didn't fight me when I told her she had to take 4 bites. Little Monster loved the teeny bit I gave her (mostly avocado) until I think she got a bitter part and then she was done.
Lately I've been craving eggs for breakfast, so the past 2 weeks I have had fried eggs after Little Monster eats. No issue with her getting a hold of anything. I make sure to clean up very well after cooking with eggs. We don't really know what exactly or how much exactly will set off a reaction. My goal is to have NO reactions for a whole year. Our pedi said that's very uncommon because they usually do get a hold of it.
So far, so good though. I made pasta the other night with Wacky Mac (tri-color rotini) with a homemade garlic mushroom sauce and Little Monster ate it right up. Actually, we all did - it was great! I also found out Pillsbury's crescent rolls are egg-free, so we had a cheeseburger pie a few weeks ago that went over fairly well also. Seems like we're doing good and moving into the right direction. So thankful she isn't allergic to dairy! And so thankful that Chill Out just opened up in Alton! With a baby allergic to eggs (no ice cream) and a husband that's lactose intolerant (no dairy at all), it's nice to have a frozen yogurt place nearby that also serves sorbet so we all can enjoy a tasty frozen treat. Their sorbets are amazing and what I prefer anyway, so everyone loves it!
