Sammy's first S'more

With Sammy having allergies to so many foods it's often a challenge to find any fun "kid food" that he can have for a special treat. He LOVED graham crackers as a little toddler and he really misses not being able to eat them with the rest of the kids. So I made it my goal today to make him his own wheat free graham crackers!

I used a rice/almond flour mix to make the dough and then rolled it out and cut it with a cookie cutter, making little Sam his very own round graham crackers! He loves them and was soooo excited!

We realized that he'd never had a s'more before and so you know we just had to hook our little guy up with a real treat tonight! With the homemade graham crackers, a soy-free chocolate bar from Trader Joes and a fluffy marshmallow, Sammy was able to enjoy his very first s'more!
Yum!

What.......is that?!

Since finding out that my little Sam is allergic to wheat, soy and eggs, I've taken it as a personal challenge to see just how many different foods I'm able to create from scratch without using these 3 ingredients. Most people would feel pretty intimidated by such major dietary limitations ( wheat, soy and eggs seem to be in EVERYTHING!!!), but I say: BRING IT!!!

Today in my kitchen / laboratory, I actually made egg-free, soy-free mayonnaise! And it actually tastes pretty good! My oldest daughter, Taylor, was observing this little culinary experiment with a worried look on her face (she was convinced that I was going to blow up my Kitchen Aid mixer) and asked " What..... is that?!" I proudly replied, " It's mayonnaise! But I think I'm gonna call it Jennaisse!" Not totally convinced, I had her try a little taste and asked her what she thought. "It tastes like cheese." Everybody's a critic.

But on the brightside, we can both agree that the taste does resemble food of somekind. I just don't think it's any kind of food Taylor will be subjecting herself to any time soon.
