With breakfast being the most important meal of the day, we don’t have much in the way of foods for breakfast other than the scones and muffins, so I thought I would share some of the cereals that we have found to be “safe”.
Below you will find a list of cereals that we have found to be gluten, dairy, and soy free. Following the list I have also included a majority of the nutritional information for each of the cereals.
Ice cream is one of those thing you really miss being dairy free. There are a ton of dairy free ice cream recipes, but they all call for soy – or egg. Now I do have to say if you don’t like bananas, you may not like this. We are going to experiment with this and see if a different fruit would work as the base. We use out 1 1/2 quart ice cream freezer, but I’m sure you could just freeze it in a freezer safe container as well.
A while back Brad was in the mood for scalloped potatoes. Being allergic to both dairy and soy made all the cheese sauce substitute recipes I found impossible. I tried some using nutritional yeast, many say that it adds a cheesy taste to a “cheese” sauce. We never got that. The craving for scalloped potatoes also came around the same time as my discovery of Daiya Cheese Shreds. Though pretty expensive, I fell in love with them as a cheese substitute. We only use them every once in a while because of their expense. The “cheese” sauce I was able to create using the Daiya Shreds was very yummy and actually tasted like a comparable dairy filled counterpart.
My mom had the idea to use this sauce base for a macaroni and cheese – using gluten free noodles of course. The result was delicious! We added cubed ham as well. My next “project” is creating a bread crumb topping for this….
On a much happier note, we have a new addition to our family!! Riley was born on September 6th. I was a bit fearful nursing him the first few days. So far there is no sign of any food allergies, at least through my breast milk. I’m hoping and praying that it stays that way. It has been an adjustment having two small children – Landon is in total love with “his” baby brother, and has been a great help so far.
So on to the “good” stuff!! I’ve been wanting blueberry muffins for the last week. Though I could have the allergy filled kind, I would have to eat it in hiding. Blueberry muffins would make a great addition as a breakfast option as well. I found a recipe here and tweaked it to be allergy free for us. They were yummy!
