[QUOTE="LovingAbbey, post: 50984, member: 1369"] My difficult child has too many food allergies to bother listing them individually. But once I found out about the allergies we started experimenting with how to make foods she could eat. I involved her in the whole process, from deciding what we would have, to helping prepare the foods. What was key in this was that I ate the foods too!!! I didn't eat only what she could have but I ate the foods I was giving her. I often tried them first and if I hated them, she didn't have to try it if she didn't want to. Now she eats a lot of fruits and veggies. I try to make most meals allergin free for difficult child. Some foods are more expensive than non-gluten free. So she has rice pasta (3 bucks a pack) and husband and I have reg pasta (69 cents) but we use the same sauce and topping (ie sausage, hamburger, veggies, etc). I've learned how to make meatloaf she can eat with no gluten or eggs. She makes her and I make one for husband and I. I use a margerine that she can eat in all the cooking I do. We have been baking breads together and making cookies. Her birthday cake this year was a gluten-free, vegan cake with cocoa free chocolate frosting. This was the cake I served at her party for everyone. It's not as good as a regular cake but it's darn close. The activities are good time together and make her more interested in eating the foods. Every weekend we plan on making a big batch of something "Abbey-friendly". The goal has always been for her diet to look like everyone else's and taste as good as possible. And it's actually at lot healthier! [/QUOTE]
