I am having so much fun now!!

At first when the Dr told me that my daughter was allergic to Gluten and I needed to try to get her off of it to see if it was the case or not I was so scared. WHAT THE HECK IS GLUTEN AND HOW DO I TAKE IT OUT OF HER DIET ANYWAYS!!! It's in everything it amazes me! I had no clue what it was or why it was in our food or how I was going to do anything about it. I was so scared I was going to screw up my daughter so bad because I was so ignorant to all of this! The longer I do this though the more fun it really is!

So in the last month or so I have made our own fruit roll-ups (who knew you could do that), I made homemade chips, chicken nuggets, fruit smoothie snacks they can pull out and eat on their own, granola bars, granola, and so much more!

Today though is my favorite so far! I read somewhere that this mom doesn't like going and buying the kids yogurts cause of the waste and even how expensive they are. So she came up with a way of making them for her baby cause he loved the freedom they gave him (what a good mommy!). Well my daughter is the same way, though she used jelly's and my kids hate jelly for whatever reason. So I had to try it, I can make homemade yogurt snacks that are gluten free and cheaper right?? OMGoodness they are amazingly yummy! We took vanilla yogurt and whatever round bowls we had in the pantry and then added a blended strawberry/orange juice mixer and the girls LOVE it. The yogurt is already gluten free and the Orange Juice is too so we are all set. The kids can go in and get their own yogurts (with permission) and while they feel more independent I feel like super mom for at least a moment, until I screw up again in a few minutes cause well I am only human!
