For school I have been packing my daughter lunches since finding out she's allergic to everything but martian dust. If they could test for that I'm sure she'd be allergic to that too. Today, all the other kids are having yummy blueberry muffins as a snack so in replacement I made her favorite flavor mixture, banana and golden raisin.
She helped me make the entire recipe! I fill the measuring cup and she would pour it in. I think it's great to involve kids in cooking. When I got to college I couldn't boil water and my hubby isn't afraid to tell me what a terrible cook I was. I guess he didn't marry me for my cooking skills. It must have been for my winning personality. At least that's what I tell myself.
***Please note that when I state “allergy free” this is my attempt at gluten, egg, dairy, soy, peanut and cod fish free which are the allergies my daughter has. I am not a doctor or registered dietitian.
