O.M.G
We had the best dinner tonight!!
Chicken vegetable stirfry on rice.
Plus I think I understand the raw food movement now. I tried swede raw only because I read somewhere that someone ate turnip raw cause they lived in the Sth Island, so I thought I'd try the swede...it tastes nutty & is really really nice! Gave some to Miss A raw & she agreed they tasted like peanut butter! So of course after avoiding it for a long while scoffed it!
Our stirfry had vege's all from the fridge that I bought ages ago. Chop them all into roughly the same size pieces.
Spring Onion & Leek
Green & Red cabbage
Swede
Pumpkin
Carrot.
What we did - Cooked chicken separately with oil & garlic, knowing hubby that would be a fair amount of garlic!
Put the chicken on the side or into of the rice maker which was staying warm. Use same pan to stirfry the hard veges, first until just tender & then add the leafy stuff. Cook & serve :) YUMMO

Lunch...
This was my lunch yesterday....jealous much?
1 cup S/R flour or flour with baking powder added
1 egg
1 cup of milk or milk subsitute
Mix
These were done in a small frying pan, in between each layer is sliced banana & a drizzle of real maple syrup, not that crap fake stuff. Topped off with the same...
I was so full after eating that, seriously should have shared it with someone!
It's Friday, It's Friday...
Thanks Ms Black...who is ever going to be able to say friday with out her stupid tune coming in their head!
Miss A has calmed down, home made low sals food are finally making her my calm daughter again :) I notice I yell at her much more when she's a "SillyCat"
Mr C is doing well on the soy challenge, which in turn has me in knots, being able to have soy opens up so much more in the way of G/F foods too him but soy scares me a little, I need to do more research I think. Will have to trial him on Soy yoghurt cause that was not good for him in the early days. I'm stoked that it looks like he's outgrowing something though. Wheat is still a big issue, he stole Miss A's crusts this morning, I can tell he has cause his face rashes up. He still denied it though, mind you what would he know, he's only 2 1/2.
A friend just linked me this blog to help be more patient yup...get more sleep would be a great one! I'll start that next thursday, but I can start on the drinking water one today :)
Wednesday night was going to be pizza night, but instead we decided to do meatballs pasta & "cheesy" sauce, CHEAP meal if you've ever seen on.
Meat balls are just meat, nothing else, nadda, just meat.
Pasta, well that's pretty obvious...just good old plain cheap pasta.
So so far you're up around $5-6 for the meat & maybe $.60c for the pasta?? Now bring on the sauce.
We use oil, you can use butter, but 1 TB,
then add a couple of cloves of garlic,
then add 1 TB of flour &
then 1 cup of milk, so a standard white sauce
...now this is the trick - making it cheesy...
add just under 1 teaspoon of salt. I'd start off adding 1/2 teaspoon & then adding more to taste, it seriously tastes like cheese!
For a dairy free person who LOVES macaroni cheese, this is a huge godsend. So a cheap fulling meal for a family of 4 for maybe $8, you can jazz it up by adding veges if you want or even putting it all in the oven.
Last night was sausages & chips, I think in future I'll get the butcher to make up sausages to my specifications & I'm not overly sure on his G/F mix. Plus Mr C after a couple of good days had a funny bum again this morning.

Pizza Night!
Am studying at the moment so remembering to write a blog each night is being forgotten!
I've decided to soy challenge Mr C (did I say this already?) he's managed to drink 1ltrs in 2 days!!! far out! So far no real reactions although he did wake in the middle of the night last night & had a mudslide in his nappy this morning. We'll continue this for 10 days & see how he goes. Least at this stage from the sheer amount of soy milk he's had in the last 2 days he should be able to have soy products in foods which will make life a little easier.
I've been slack this week & haven't done a blackboard meal list. I did go shopping but only grabbed the basics like plain flour, sugar & apples that we'd run out of.
Last night was Steak, eggs & chips, tonight will be Pizza, need to do a stir-fry tomorrow night to get some vege's in the diet.
Mr C wanted a boiled egg for arvo tea, it's nice when they ask for something specific.
Miss A was in super melt down mode this morning, <sigh> day 2 of being away with her Grandparents, they over dose her on salicylates & we get to deal with the fall out! Calcium tablet administered before we went to school to help lessen the load on her body.

What happened to 3 days!
Well Thursday nights Pizza was a hit, Miss A ate as much as I did, Mr C ate the mince/kidney beans.
Friday was a day off school for Miss A & far out can she eats so much at home compared to at school! She went away friday night for the long weekend with her Grandparents so no idea what she's been eating, will see how she is tonight I guess!
Went down to the "Pub" on Friday night, Mr C drew the numbers for the meat raffles & hilariously one of them went to one of our good friends so we ended up having beautiful fillet steak for dinner :) with chips & eggs off course.
And I bottled the Jam. Four jars cost me $4 for the fruit, $2 for the sugar, plus the pectin packet, so each jar probably works out around $2 way cheaper than bought brands plus you know exactly what's in it :)

Sigh....
So Mr C has blisters in the top of his throat, I'm sure it's his reflux back or is it something he's eaten??? His lips are red & a little bit swollen. I hate this as he's never asked to have issues with food :(
Anyway I didn't finish off yesterdays blog cause I didn't feed them dinner last night. They had "Fish n Chips" around at my Mum's place, home made & they know to keep him wheat free but will need to check just in case.
Tonight is now Pizza night! Miss A loves pizza & strangely loves the pizza I make over store bought ones. So I'll be making garlic mince on top of a scone dough base which is topped by kidney beans. Might do some chips but it's not really necessary.
