Foodie Babies

A health and nutrition blog. Rachel's children have nut, soy, and dairy allergies. One of them is currently suffering from leaky gut syndrome. Chrissy's child and husband have celiac disease. Rachelle had gestational diabetes and was able to reverse it. Because of that, she has been driven to learn the healthiest way to live. We are discussing food nutrition and allergies here.

Yummy Food

And good for us, too!

Here are some pics of the yummy dinners I've been making lately! I found some great recipe's on vegetariantimes.com and (believe it or not!) in my Taste of Home magazine.

These are my Roasted Root Vegetables (Taste of Home) almost all gone:

Cut up Potatoes (I like using Red, Sweet, and Yams), Carrots and Turnips (I think I may try it without turnips next time), drizzle with olive oil and Rosemary. Bake in sprayed dish for 35-40 minutes on 350, then up the temp. to 450 for 10-20 minutes.
This is a pic of Emma's Quinoa pancake (flat bread). She has these for breakfast a few times a week now. She likes them plain, and absolutely refuses to eat them with Brown Rice Syrup... which is fine by me! I got bulk Quinoa and ground it in my mom's flour grinder, then added water and oil. You have to make sure the heat isn't too high, 'cause the inside cooks really slow. I have a major allergy attack every time I run the quinoa through the flour grinder, I don't know if it's allergies or just the fine dust particles, but I have yet to taste the pancakes, I am avoiding a possible food allergy!
This is Ultimate Vegetable Fried Rice (Vegetarian Times). It was Delisioso!!! (I am learning Spanish with my kids) The only thing I didn't like was the black beans. Jason did, though. The recipe doesn't technically call for them, but I added them for protein purposes. It was pretty simple. Just fry up the veggies (in a certain order, depending on the veggies you're using) and then add the cooked brown rice. Fry up the rice for as long or short as you want, depending on the flavor you're going for, and serve! mm-mm good!

AND... Becca, you'll be so proud... I MADE HUMMUS! Avocado, garlic, cumin (you gotta have cumin!), and roasted red peppers! And Jason liked it more than the store bought stuff... hehehe, I am so bragging right now.

BTW, this counter was clean before we started the hummus experiment:
This is the finished product, complete with happy face a la Jason.
After making it, Jason bought me a new, AND IMPROVED food processor. Much bigger and more heavy duty. I have yet to make hummus in it, but I'm looking forward to more pureed Garbanzos...

I've also tried a lot of different ways of sauteing zucchini and yellow squash (yummy!), and some other recipe's that aren't quite so "Emma friendly". We're getting there.

We found a "doctor" for Emily to see about diet and nutrition and healing her leaky gut!!! YAY!!! We see him Thursday night. I'll keep y'all informed. (So go ahead and sleep tonight, I know, it might keep you up... all the anticipation...)

    All those things look GREAT - I want to try that veggie fried rice sometime. Also, I need a food processor so I can make hummus. Hello, Christmas!
