My son LOVES food. He loves seeing it, smelling it, being around it, touching it, preparing it...and EATING IT!!
For his birthday, he and I decided to do up a birthday buffet. The menu went something like this:
-Homemade Soda bar with 5 different flavours
-Cream Puffs with Creamy Almond Filling
-Double-Chocolate Cashew Cookies
-Brownies
-Homemade Herbed Crackers
-Cashew "Cheese" Spread
-Sliced Red Peppers
-The aforementioned Almond Play-Doh Ball
-Potato Candy
-Parslied Rice with Tomatoes
-Marinated Cucumber Salad
I think that was everything; all gluten-free and dairy-free!
The potato candy was made with icing sugar, so you'll want to check labels if you plan on making some.
Recipes to follow!
As most of my friends know, I love experimenting in the kitchen. Our cooking is primarily gluten-free, dairy-free, and meat-reduced. We do purchase some canned goods but mostly try to stay clear of processed foods, and prefer using local honey as a sweetener, though I occasionally buy organic and/or fair-trade cane sugar. As a low-income, single mom of a child who lives with disabilities, I also believe it is possible to pack a lot of nutrition into a small budget. Eat simply! Eat well!
