Re: School Snacks -- NO NUTS

September 14, 2005

This is my list of foods that I compiled to give me ideas for my son to

take to school. For some of them you will want to pack it with a small

ice pack to keep it cool.

- Lolly Pops from BTVC

- meringue cookies

- jello

- pear sauce

- carrot chips

- banana

- yogurt mixed with banana and honey

Hope this helps.

You can also make any of the non-nut pancakes and make them silver dollar

sized.

Pumpkin pie filling and Knox Blox would be good too.

Hi, do you bake? I make all kinds of mini muffins. Bread & Jam. Raisins,

and usually 3-4 fruits per day.

Hope this helps.

My daughter's favorite are as follows:

- apple sauce

- stir fried julienned carrots (I use olive oil and get them nice and brown even

the ones that turn a little black are good)I will also put the cover on the pan

a little bit to make sure they cook all the way since carrots can take a little

time. I do not cut real narrow julienne, some thickness is good.

- thinly slice zucchini squash fried in a little of olive oil, I flipped them

when they are nice and brown. I lightly salt and pepper. Taste good even cold.

-boiled eggs cut criss cross and add homemade mayonnaise

-roasted salted pumpkin seeds from the health food store

-raisons

I don't know if some of these foods are too advanced but you are going to have a

hard time with no nuts. Most of my snacks are made with nuts. Best of luck.

I have the exact same issue..no nut products allowed at school.

Unfortunately, Brady does poorly without a lot of protein to balance

out his fruits and veggies, and i use A LOT of nutbutter/flour...even

put almond flour and cinnamon in his applesauce [he loves this, btw].

He has some difficulty with chewing and swallowing and isn't really

able to chew meat/chicken well enough that i would send it...i am

fairly adept at hiding chicken, but not in anything nut free, and he

hates the chicken pancakes. I sent boiled eggs yesterday, and he

didn't eat them. One of his favorites is the green pudding, which i

usually add almond flour/butter to, so i might try making this with

tahini instead. [i also make an orange version with cooked carrots or

squash]

Fran, i am curious about what recipe you have to make muffins that is

nut free?? Thanks to all who have already listed suggestions. Oh,

and is there a secret to carrot curls/chips?? i've tried a few times

and they have been pretty nasty! thanks!!!!!!

Banana pancakes have just egg and banana.

Eggs have a lot of protein.

The pumpkin pie filling has a few eggs in it as well I believe.

What about something like the avocado chicken salad, but don't leave it

chunky the way and adult would normally eat it. Puree it more until it is

smooth. Would he eat something like that?

I don't think that Tahini would be welcomed in a nut free school. Many kids

who are deathly allergic to nuts are also allergic to seeds. But you could ask.

I send Dole pineapple in small portioned cups that you buy in the store. Also,

I do raisins or whole fruit, like bananas or apple. I always send a cold pack,

so you could put cheese and fruit juice, as well.

If your child tolerates dairy, May I suggest prosciutto or thinly sliced roast

beef or turkey

rolled up in a rectangle of cheese.

Dates stuffed with cheese.

If you are well along on the diet, a mini box of raisins.

Chunks of melon wrapped in prosciutto

Cherry tomatoes.

Sliced raw veggies.

Home made applesauce or a baked apple or pear. We have recipes for Candy Apples.

Use

small crab apples to make some finger sized ones.

My kids also go to a nut free (and fish free) school. I send homemmade

applesauce, cut up strawberries, we do dried fruit occasionally, ripe

bananas (I usually peel and put them in a container because they

sometimes sit on their lunch boxes (?) and they end up with squashed

bananas), yogurt with cut up fruit, legal cheese snacks or slices of

cheese, apples, snow kisses (meringue cookies), homemade marshmallows

rolled in homemade squash or carrot flour (very cool for Halloween).

Celery sticks with dripped yogurt and dotted with raisins or pieces of

dates (called " Ants on a log " ). If dairy free you can fill with

homemade jam.

has taken a keen liking to zucchini this year - which is a good

thing because our garden is bursting with them. I send zucchini

circles with cream cheese sandwiched between them.

Instead of a nut bread sandwich I make dairy free bread using the

souffle recipe and make legal ham and cheese, ham and mayo, egg salad,

chicken salad, grilled cheese, jam and cheese sandwiches. I also use

this bread to make little personal pizzas which he loves hot or cold.

I fill his juice bottle half with ice and juice to keep everything

cold.

That's all I can think of at the moment.

Thanks for your response -- which souffle recipe are you talking

about? Unfortunately, because my son also has phenol problems, we

can't do apples, bananas, berries . . . . UGGGGGGH! It's amazing

that he survives at all on his short list of foods.

A good way to send bananas is to slice them in 1 inch slices with the

peelings on. The peelings will keep them from getting squashed and well as

from turning brown. Then, put them in a ziplock bag. When they eat the

snack the child (or teacher) can peel the peeling off. .

Marilyn Dixon

P.S. Once the bananas rippen to how your child needs them, keeping them

stored in the regrigerator will keep them from spoiling quickly. If bananas

do get too mushy before you can use them, freeze them. They are then great

for smoothies or thaw to make banana breads or pancakes. Another tip for

whole bananas, peel them from the bottom end like a monkey does, and they

will peel easier and not get squished at the top.

Wow, Sheila. What a bunch of wonderful suggestions. I'm only doing SCD for

myself, but am trying to move my kids towards SCD-style eating (no starches

mostly), and I'm finding it hard to come up with ideas that don't involve

starches. Right now I'm telling them we're just GF, and that's hard enough.

Dd was crying at dinner last night because she misses bread and pizza and

she's never tried onion rings but now she can't etc. If I can make some of

the snacks you suggest, life could be fun.

A few questions though.

1) although I can probably figure it out, how do you make home made squash

or carrot flour?

2) Of the three SCD cookbooks out there (besides BTVC), which one would you

suggest as the best value for the money? I guess I can get snack ideas from

the net, but it's meal ideas I'm having difficulty with, particularly

breakfast and dinner, and well, lunches too when dd doesn't like the soup I

make. I like having a hard copy I can flip through to get ideas, I don't

always have a chance to get onto the computer to come up with meal ideas.

3) Can you come to my house and cook for my family for a while LOL! I love

your ideas.

Take care. Theresa (in Vancouver, Canada)

Hi Rochelle,

Here is the souffle bread recipe. The original posted by Jodi B. is at

http://www.scdrecipe.com/r_005_00361.html

NUT FREE, DAIRY FREE BREAD

Modified by Sheila

6 egg whites

4 egg yolks

pinch salt

1/3 cup pureed vegetables

Instructions

1. Beat the egg whites with salt until firm. Measure out 1/3 cup of well

cooked vegetables i.e. leftovers. I have done this with a mix of well cooked

green beans and squash (Also tried well cooked baby carrots and green beans).

You'll want to press the veggies to take out as much liquid as possible. Blend

together the yolks and pressed vegetables until liquefied.

2. Gently fold the yolks into the whites and spread into a parchment paper

lined and side greased 9 " x13 " glass Pyrex *. Bake at 300 degrees F. for 30

minutes. When you remove it from the oven it will be big and fluffy, like a

soufflé.

3. It will settle but still remain doughy. While still hot from the oven,

use a flat spatula to remove the bread from the sides of the dish and turn it

out. Separate it from the parchment paper on the bottom and return it to the

dish bottom side up. Bake this side for an additional 10 minutes at 300 degrees

F. Sheila's method: (To turn it out and flip without tearing I use two long

cutting boards. I flip the bread on to one cutting board, remove the parchment

paper from the bottom. I lay the other cutting board on top and then flip the

bread. Remove the first board and place the parchment paper either on the bread

or back in the pan. Lay the pan back over the bread and flip back in. This

allows the bottom to be browned.)

4. Remove from the oven. I let it cool and then slice into 8 slices. This

bread must be refrigerated. I learned that the hard way.

Notes : I modified Jodi's Soufflé bread recipe to contain pureed vegetables and

eggs so that my daughter could take it to her nut free school. I find this bread

much better toasted.

*I have also baked it on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. This makes

thin crisp bread. That is great for sandwiches when toasted. I have also made

buns with it by putting bun shaped portions on a cookie sheet lined with

parchment paper. These make great hamburger buns.

" Dd was crying at dinner last night because she misses bread and pizza "

Have you made the peanut butter brownies? I bet your kids would love those.

Also, we make pizza.

I use the chicken pancake recipe for the crust.

I make a large pancake and when it's done then I put it on a cookie sheet, put

sauce, toppings and legal cheese on top. I put it in the oven on 350 for 6-9

minutes (just long enough for the cheese to melt).

Very tasty. Even my father-in-law liked it (and he's not that easy to

please...LOL).

You'll need 1 recipe of chicken pancakes for every 2 pizzas. I use half the

recipe for each personal sized pizza.

Knox blox are fun for kids. Make it in a shallow pan and then let them use

cookie cutters to cut into fun shapes.

Popsicles are fun this time of year as well.

Thank you Jody. You can come cook for me too LOL! Since starting the SCD for

myself in February, I have stopped baking altogether, and I think the kids

just miss that, i.e. " What's for dessert? Oh, let me guess, fruit again! " I

can see I'll have to look up these recipes and get cooking. It complicates

things that I'm going back to work after 10 years so dh can go back to

university and I have even less time for cooking. I'm needing a pick-me-up,

hrmph! I haven't baked ANY SCD goodies, just cooking plain, whole foods. But

I can see it's taking it's toll.

Okay, I'm looking up the peanut butter brownies and making a batch for

dessert tonight! Here we go, wheeee...are we having fun yet LOL!

Take care. Theresa (in Vancouver, Canada)

Well Theresa,

I've never been to Canada. Perhaps we could work something out on the " I

come and cook for you " idea.

Try making the granola chews from BTVC. I use raw cashews and boy are

they good!!

Here's the easiest recipe for cookies. I changed an old recipe that I used to

use when I babysat (easy for kids to make).

Peanut Butter Cookies

1 cup peanut butter

1 egg

1/2 cup honey

Blend together in food processor. Spoon out dough onto cookie sheet. (I line

mine with parchment paper for easier clean-up.)

You can either leave them or you can press them with a greased fork for that

traditional peanut butter cookie look.

Bake for 6-8 minutes at 350. This makes about 2 dozen+ small-medium

cookies. They don't last long around here.

Prociutto is a ham (pork) cured only with salt. The ones imported from Italy

usually contain

no sugar. Ask at the supermarket. Ask them to clean the meat slicer as Jody

mentioned,

before slicing your order. Proscitto can be sliced extremely thin if you wish.

Hi Theresa,

When I have made it I cooked the squash and carrots (thinly sliced)

first. I mashed the squash and then layered both on dehydrator

trays and dried until dry. You should also be able to dry it in a

low oven (175°-200°F). After cools I grind it to a powder in a

coffee grinder - a blender would also likely work. I checked with

Elaine first because I was concerned that it may be too much dried

cellulose. She said it was okay to use int his type of quantity.

Besides BTVC, I only have Lucy's cookbook. I have been meaning to

modify my old preSCD recipes to fit in with the diet. I am looking

forward to Marilyn's cookbook that she is doing up.

Some brands depend on your area. I buy ham slices from Maple Leaf (I

am in Canada) that has the same ingredients as their legal bacon

(which is the 33& 1/3 less salt version). I also bought a large

cooking ham (I think it was also from Maple Leaf) at Christmas. There

are a few different large hams by Maple Leaf so you have to carefully

check the ingredients. If all else fails and you can't find a

commercially prepared one you may be able to get a local butcher to do

one up for you with legal ingredients. Hmmm, maybe even a honey Ham

that would be tasty
