David Jr is a wonderful, loving, happy baby boy! You would never know he had acid reflux, except when we are a few seconds late on giving him his medicine each morning and evening. You would also never know from his happy, bubbly self that he was allergic to dairy, egg, peanut butter, and selfish - unless something slips by us in an ingredient list. Then the next day we have roughly a two hour cranky spell due to an upset little tummy. As a result David and I have been quite diligent about checking ingredients, researching restaurant menus online prior to going out to dinner - however, things occasionally slip by us and restaurant workers aren't always super careful about making sure my meal doesn't have a trace of something that will upset David's tummy. As a result I have started to steer away form packaged and processed foods... as least as much as I can with a 2 year old and 3.5 month old in the house. Today, Dave and Carly stepped it up a notch! Earlier today we headed out to a nearby kitchen store and purchased a 2nd pasta attachment for our mixer. During Carly's nap, David and I headed to the grocery store to buy the necessary ingredients to make rigatoni pasta from scratch and to then make Sausage, Peppers, and Onions Rigatoni. After Carly's nap, David went down for his nap, I headed out for a bike ride, and Dave and Carly worked together to make rigatoni from scratch! After the pasta dried, we prepped dinner and had a wonderful meal that was dairy and egg free!
Our family is still getting used to me being dairy, egg, peanut butter, and shellfish free but tonight's meal was a delicious, family fun meal that made me not miss all the other foods I'm currently avoiding.
