I think I am going to call duck eggs a successful add in at this point. I am super excited to have an egg that I can use in baking, as well as breakfast staples like scrambled eggs. The littlest monster ate the duck eggs baked into banana muffins for 3 days straight and then he had them for breakfast scrambled for another 3 days with no reactions that I could see. I used an egg last night in our dinner as well. I made cabbage rolls and he ate them well and still nothing. That means no GI upset or change in bowel patterns and no rashes which are his hallmark reaction to chicken eggs.
Now I need to set up another pick up from the local farm to get some more duck eggs. So that's another food win over here. Just wanted to put that out there! Just because you or your child reacts to a food that is considered a staple food, like chicken eggs, doesn't mean there aren't other options out there for you to try. Do your research and see if there is another same type food that you can use as a substitute!

A Better, All Natural, DIY Baby Wipe
I have previously posted directions for making your own homemade baby wipes. And though I loved them I have come to realize that I didn't like some of the ingredients that I was using in them. For one thing I have come to realize that I don't want to use baby oil on anyone in our house anymore. Just google it and you will see why. I also didn't like having to hunt all over God's green earth for a baby wash that didn't contain soy or corn products and wasn't chocked full of chemicals I can't pronounce. So I've changed up my recipe and have to say I love it even more now.
I used Costco's Kirkland brand paper towels.
I used Costco's Kirkland brand paper towels.
- Cut a roll of paper towels in half with a sharp knife. The sharper the better since you don't want a lot of frayed edges.
- Find a container with a tight sealing lid that will fit the half roll of paper towels.
- Fill container with 2 1/2 C of hot water.
- Mix in 2 Tbls of Coconut Oil. I used the organic one from Trader Joe's. Love the scent.
- Add a few drops of Dr. Bronners Magic Castille Soap.
- Stir all wet ingredients together until all the coconut oil is melted.
- Place you half roll of paper towels, cut side down, into the container.
- Snap on your lid and turn upside down so all the solution will soak throughout the entire roll.
- Wait about 15-20 mins and set back up right. Pull out the cardboard tube and pull up the center wipe.

Duck Eggs, eh???
I decided to do a food trial with the youngest little monster roaming around these parts. Hes been off chicken eggs for months now, and though I've gotten pretty food at baking without eggs, it's hard and I don't need hard! It's hard enough coming up with food that fits all the different food restrictions we have between the 3 kids.
I joined a group on Facebook for people locally who garden and have small farms to buys, sell, and trade, homegrown food, plants, seeds, and knowledge. A local gal on there posted the other day that she had fresh duck eggs for sale. I was intrigued. Duck eggs you say? Hmmmm, so I got to googling and seeing if duck eggs were a suitable substitute for chicken eggs for folks that are allergic, since IgE allergies are my standard against what subs we can and should try though none of the kids have any true IgE allergies at this point. It seems that it is done and usually well tolerated to substitute duck eggs, and even goose and quail eggs, for chicken eggs. Score!
So I messaged the gal who had posted about the eggs and grilled her about what she feeds the ducks. Because I have heard from numerous people that they are sensitive to what the animals they are eating are eating. Makes sense, in a way. She was kind enough to find the website for the feed she is giving the ducks and one chicken she has. Darn it all! First two ingredients were corn and soy! She said she has been considering switching the animals to organic and sent me the link to the new feed she is considering. While the corn and soy weren't the first two ingredients they were still in there.
After hours spent googling trying to find a feed that didn't contain those things I came up empty handed. Boooo! So I figured that the kids eat conventional meat that are more than likely feed corn and soy as the bulk of their diets everyday and seem to be fine with meat so maybe the littlest one won't react to what the animal is eating in its diet.
So I thought it over, slept on it, and talked it over with my wonderful momma friends of reactive kids and decided to give it a try. So I let the gal know that I would like to buy a half dozen eggs and headed over to pick them up. She also happens to have dwarf goats a goose and a horse. The littlest monster was in heaven! He got to pet a baby goat! The whole way home he was telling me that he wants some goats. I don't think we are zoned to have goats where we live. Maybe we could get some and milk them? Though I have no idea if the kids can tolerate goat milk. Hmmmmm.......
So we collected our half dozen duck eggs and brought them home. I let the gal know that if the food trial worked out we'd be bugging her a lot for eggs. She seemed happy to supply us and for about the price of a dozen organic chicken eggs in the grocery store it wouldn't put to much stress on our food budget.
I came home and put them in the refrigerator and it took me about 3 days to work up the nerve to actually start the food trial. I had to re-talk myself into it. We had survived the last chicken egg food trial, but it wasn't pretty that's for sure! So I figured we could do this! Yes we can! So I baked up some banana muffins, the littlest one loves banana bread so I figured he'd eat these no problem. Sometimes the hardest part of a food trial is finding a way to get them to actually ingest the food.
I made mini muffins so his first day would be a small amount and he wouldn't feel jipped by only being able to have a bite or two of something bigger and then having it taken away. He ate it no problem as his dessert after dinner last night. This morning, there has been no rash I've picked up on and so far no complaint of stomach pain, his first two symptoms usually. I let him eat two mini muffins at breakfast and he stole a couple I was eating at mid-morning snack. His bowel movement seemed fine, though he didn't tell me he had gone because he was to busy playing with new found toys while we were cleaning out the toy room for our BIG spring cleaning project while the older boys were away with dad for the day. So he sat in it for a while, and because I couldn't smell it, he sat in it longer than he normally would.
When his secret was discovered I changed him and he did have some diaper rash, but nothing like what he gets when he is reacting to a food. His poop was formed, no mucus, and no smell. So far so good. A little Desitin and his rash is already looking much better. So we will continue with the muffins for another 2 days, increasing the amount he eats everyday and watch for reactions. If nothing shows up we will attempt scrambled duck eggs as his "true" test to see if he tolerates them.
Wish us luck! I would love to have eggs again!

Spinach Chicken Burgers
I've made these burgers a few times now and they always get gobbled up and are very much enjoyed by all members of the family. Hubby even said he wanted them added into the regular rotation of dinners, so you know they are good, allergen friendly food, when the hubby asks for them! Reminder: he has no food allergies or intolerance's and eats whatever he wants!
Spinach Chicken Burgers
Ingredients:
About 1 1/4 lbs of ground chicken (buy in store or grind your own)
2 ozs fresh or frozen spinach (if using frozen thaw and drain well)
1/4 med onion finely chopped
1 small clove garlic minced (I use jarred)
2 tsp dried parsley
3 ozs shredded Daiya cheese (I use mozzarella)
1 tsp lemon juice (can be left out, I have)
2 tsp Coconut Aminos* (great soy sauce sub!)
Salt and Pepper to taste
1/4-1/2 C bread crumbs (I use the organic ones from Trader Joe's)
If using fresh spinach, wilt it by pouring boiling water over it while in a colander in the sink. If using frozen thaw in a bowl with a paper towel or tea towel under it. After thawed wrap in a tea towel and squeeze out all the water. Keep squeezing til you think you can't squeeze anymore, then squeeze it again! You'll be surprised at the amount of water you get out of it! You want it almost dry.
In a food processor place onion garlic, parsley, and spinach, pulse until its fine, but not pureed.
Remove from processor and then use your processor to "grind" up your chicken if your not using pre-ground chicken. Cut thawed, raw chicken breast into pieces and pulse away with your food processor til it has a paste like appearance.
Combine chicken and remaining ingredients together adding enough bread crumbs until it all sticks together, but not to much to your hands.
Roll into balls that are about 1 1/2 in around (or larger depending on what size burger patty you want), place on a foil lined cookie sheet sprayed with cooking spray, flatten out to make patties. Cover with plastic wrap or Press N Seal and place in refrigerator for about 1 hour to set up.( At this point you can also freeze them on the cookie sheet until frozen and then place into a zip top baggie for long term-ish storage.)
Place in oven on broil for about 7-9 minutes on each side. Or they reach 165*.
Serve on your homemade hamburger buns (recipe and how to coming soon!)

* You can find coconut aminos at most health food stores or online. They are usually kept with the liquid aminos and vinegar. I've started to use them in any recipe that calls for soy sauce. It really makes my marinade for Tri Tip!

Yummy Egg, Dairy, Soy, Corn Free Banana Bread
Yesterday I made some awesome banana bread for the kids, and I couldn't help myself from eating a little to much of it myself! It turned out really good! I've been avoiding making banana bread for a while now since we can no longer use eggs, thanks to the littlest monster who gets all rashy and miserable after eating them. But I've continued to save all my over ripe bananas in the freezer, I think I must have about 40 of them saved in there! I decided to try a little something that I've read about in the world of egg replacement, using mayo in place of eggs in a recipe. Yes you read that right, but I think this was thought up by people who just ran out of eggs and still wanted to bake something since mayo is made with eggs. But we have a mayo substitute that we've been using around here for a while and I thought, "What the hell! I'll give it a whirl!" We've been using Soy Free Veganaise with the kids in place of mayo for months and months now. I think it tastes like mayo, and even the hubby didn't know the difference when I ran out of regular mayo one time. I actually use this stuff alot in place of sour cream in recipes.
So according to these egg replacement websites I've been stalking, 3Tbls of mayo equals 1 egg. Ok easy enough. But we'll see. So I replaced the 2 eggs called for in the banana bread recipe I've been using for years and it is fantastic!!!!! Here you go, enjoy!
Banana Bread
1 1/4 C Sugar
1/2 C Earth Balance Coconut Spread
6 TBL Soy Free Veganaise
3 med very ripe Bananas, mashed
1/2 C Buttermilk replacement (2 tsp lemon juice + enough Mimicream to make the total 1/2C)
1 tsp Vanilla extract (I make my own using potato vodka and vanilla beans so its corn free)
2 1/2 C AP Unbleached Flour
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp Salt
1 C Chopped Nuts (optional, I did not use nuts)
If you're going to be baking in a bread pan move your oven rack to the lowest position so the tops of the loaves are in the middle of the oven while baking. I used a silicone egg shaped tray to make mini loaves for Easter so I baked them like they were cupcakes and left the oven rake in the middle position.
Spray you pans with safe cooking spray, or make your own by mixing oil and water in a misting spray bottle, check Pinterest for complete directions.
Mix sugar, and coconut spread, and Veganaise in a large bowl, I used my Kitchen Aid mixer or you can use a large bowl and your hand mixer. This can be done by hand but if you have the tools, use them!!!! Stir in bananas, "buttermilk", and vanilla. Beat until smooth. Stir in flour, baking soda, and salt just until moist, if using nuts stir in. Divide batter between pans.
Bake two 8 in loaves for about 1 hour, one 9 in loaf for about 1 hour 15 minutes, or mini loaves for about 20-25 minutes. Cupcakes for about 15-20 minutes. Or until a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean. Remove from oven and allow to cool for about 5 minutes in pan, then remove from pan and allow to cool on a wire rack. Cool completely then cover and store, if it lasts that long!
This turned out so good! Enjoy!!!!!
*You can try this with a gluten free flour mix if you need gluten free, since we no longer do I'm back to using wheat in all my baking.

Wow! Can you say MIA????
I have really been MIA around here for a while. Sorry about that. We have been dealing with nothing but sickness and other medical stuff with the kids nonstop since November. The younger twin has had a really rough go of it. Since November he's dealt with a rare kidney infection, two ear infections, the flu, the dreaded norovirus thats going around, an intestinal infection that he picked up while inpatient in the hospital, which he also shared with his baby brother, yippee for me!!! We've spent more time at the ER, the urgent care, the pediatricians office, lab, and the childrens hospital in the last two and a half months than I can ever remember previous to this. So not fun!
He's also had an upper and lower endoscopies to check him for Celiac as well as a variety of EGID's. So far everything has come back "normal". They also decided to check him for Hirschprungs Disease, but it looks like they didn't take enough of a biospy to either completely rule it in or out. I still have to forward the pathology reports to our new GI doctor and see what he thinks and wants to do. So again we are still left wondering why this kid is still failure to thrive and chronically constipated. Hopefully the GI doctor will be of some help.
Through all of this I have been doing food reintorductions with the littlest one. So far we've gotten back almonds, so yay I can cook and bake with almond milk again!!!!! I am super excited. We also got back peanuts and peanut butter as long as it all natural and made with palm oil. We trialed eggs yet again and he failed miserably. Horrible diarrhea and rashes that looked like someone burned him all over his face and neck and upper torso. So eggs are out and I am super bummed, I mean SUPER bummed about it. Baking is so hard without eggs. Doing the wheat trial was frickin' scary as all get out! I'm telling you I wanted wheat back soooooo bad! And he was on wheat and gluten for a good two weeks with nary a symptom and then the norovirus reared its ugly head and then he picked up the intestinal infection that the younger twin brought home from the hospital and he had stomach pain on and off ever since. I'm giving him a boatload of probiotics to hopefully help his gut heal, but I know he got trashed being that sick for over two weeks. He went a whole week not being able to keep anything but water down. But thankfully Flagyl came to our rescue and helped to get him eating and drinking again.
So today I'm going to talk a little bit about a new product I found online that helps kids with vomiting and diarrhea keep hydrated. With all the kids food issues they cannot tolerate Pedialyte at all, it usually ends up making their diarrhea worse, or worse yet, causing it. So this stuff is called the B.R.A.T. Diet Drink. I used it with the littlest one and he seemed to tolerate it well. I had to get the original flavor and he wasn't to happy with that, they also have a vanilla, but we avoid vanilla flavoring because most is extracted using corn alcohol. Here is their website, check them out. http://www.bratdiet.org/ I like that they are dairy, soy, and corn free as well as being non GMO. I couldn't find them in any local stores to me so I ended up ordering a case on Amazon. Thankfully I am a Prime member and got free shipping. And now I have some for whenever we need it again.
We need to restart food introductions with the littlest one since its completely been on hold since he got sick, but I don't want to start again until hes not saying his stomach hurts everyday. Not sure if hes attention seeking because his appetite is through the roof, he basically eating me out of house and home at this point and hes active and I believe still growing, hes at least gained back all the weight he lost when he was sick, which was almost 3 pounds! I'm not sure what food I want to trial next, most likely shrimp, the kids used to love it but it was one of the top allergens that had to be removed for the full elimination diet. After that we are left reintroing all the foods we "know" he reacts to. Not looking forward to that at all! I hate to make him sick on purpose, but we will do what we must, but it would be nice to be surprised and have him tolerate foods that he hasn't had in so long!
