Re: Re: Not sure this is going well...

I put my energy into figuring out the maximum number of ways I could make out of each thing. Carrots, for example...carrot pancakes, nut free carrot muffins, roasted herb carrots, boiled carrots in a ginger honey sauce.I roast veggies - particularly carrots and zucchini and also sometimesapples in the pan along with whole chickens (last week I did halfa peach that was just sitting around - and yum). I drizzle on some coconutoil and the veggies and fruit absorb some of the flavor from the chickenand it comes out really good that way. Salt and pepper, some herbs. Carrot pancakes sound good. Mara

to the BTVC ketchup recipe -which i found to be very good- i add the following ingredients to kick up the flavor.

: 2/3 cup of pureed roasted onions to which 3 heads of roasted garlic has been added, 1/2 teaspoon of freshly ground nutmeg or 1/2 teaspoon of freshly grated allspice; 1/4 teaspoon of freshly ground cloves and 1/2 teaspoon of freshly pureed ginger root (or 1/2 teaspoon of homemade ginger juice).

"You can make tomato sauce and freeze it!"I've actually already done this and used to do it regularly. I just need to find some affordable tomatoes so I can make some more spaghetti sauce and ketchup.

For ketchup, you can just boil down the legal tomato juice

until it is a thick consistency. And tomato juice is on the

beginning diet, too. And the rest of the recipe is in BTVC.

Ketchup from BTVC:

2 cups tomato juice

1-3 tablespoons white vinegar

honey and/or saccharin to taste

btaa leaf (optional)

salt and pepper to taste

Mix all ingredients except sweetener and simmer on stove until

thick, stirring often to prevent sticking.

When almost the desired thickness, add sweetener to taste and

complete cooking.

Ladle into sterilized jars and seal immediately OR place in small

containers and freeze.

Heh, that search function for the downloaded book really is useful.

Well, okay - they are not my favorite either.

They get much better when you add some nut butter to them, but

after 8 days he's not up to that.

Have you read over the beginning recipes on pecanbread?

What about lemon meringue pie? (personally one of my favorites)

http://uclbs.org/recipes/desserts/jidagthlmp.php

You can leave the crust off, or just tell him to pick around it.

Besides the crust, it's all beginner food. Well, maybe I would cut

the honey down a bit.

It's a shame about the lack of cheese, because I made the

cheesecake several times in the first two-three weeks. It kind

of kept me sane.

Have you bought any cookbooks yet - that helps as well.

You can see them all listed here.

There's another brand too, maybe Heinz? Someone will step

in and clarify.

Also - I don't know what your budget is like - but you can make

roast beef. Roast beef always makes me happy. And hamburgers.

About the only things he won't eat are spinach, squash and cucumbers. He eats just about all other veggies, fruits and some pretty interesting stuff. It's a bit ironic that the few things he doesn't like happen to be what he can eat right now.That's for sure! Major bummer for you guys, I guess. A ton of recipes have pureed squash or zucchini in them, like pancakes, muffins, meatloaf, etc..Zucchini especially doesn't have a strong flavor in these things. So maybe you could try something like that? On pecanbread.com, under 'recipes,' there are a lot of things like that for the early stages. Since the site is designed for little kids on the SCD, it has a lot of tips and recipes dealing with kids who won't eat the early foods.

Yeah, I made them twice and I could barely gag them downYikes! What was your method for making them? I had them this morning and I wanted more! I just put a ripe banana and two eggs in my blender, blended it till it was completely smooth, then poured it in a pan and fried it in coconut oil. When they were done, I put a dollop each of coconut oil and butter, and drizzled honey over then whole thing.My family came in the kitchen exclaiming, "wow, that smells great!"

I mashed a banana (large) added an egg, beat them together and fried them in butter. They smelled great, but the texture/taste wasn't too good.If you ever make them again, try two eggs to one banana (helps it taste more like pancakes) and blend it in a blender (to make the texture smooth and yummy).

Alyssa,

You have the perfect attitude to get you through these struggles and you are absolutely right about how a person has to look at the challenges of this diet. You remind me of my kids, they amaze me with their willingness to eat a pecan muffin while all their friends are eating blue and red Spiderman cake!! It is what it is...and they would rather feel good and they are only 7 and 3 and you are only 15! Amazing.

I would be happy to share any recipe with you...but I have to get my son to school first.

carrot pancakes, nut free carrot muffins, roasted herb carrots, boiled carrots in a ginger honey sauce.

These all sound really good. Do you think you could post how you make them? I'm always looking for more ways to eat my few food items!
