Guest guest Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I can feed my boys other than eggs every morning? I really need to stay away from nuts as much as possible because my one son has oxalate issues and his twin has a lot of nut sensitivities. Please help! Also, what are you methods to preparing food/meals? Do you take a weekend and prepare meals in bulk and freeze them? What has worked best for you? Thanks!

Guest guest Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 There is a recipe for banana pancakes on the website. A lot of times I just give my kids regular food for breakfast. Usually a fruit and some broiled chicken breast or broiled ground beef. I think it is a good way to start off the day with a little protein and carbs (from fruit). --- wrote: > Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I can > feed my boys other > than eggs every morning?

Guest guest Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 I'm new to the diet, but I've been making all kinds of different muffins without flour. I even found a muffin that has chicken in it in the recipe section. My boys really like them and you can add fruit, veggie or whatever you want. As far as the cooking, I'm still cooking all the time. I hope to figure that one out myself. Diane Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I can feed my boys other than eggs every morning?

Guest guest Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 I've only been doing SCD for 4 months, but have a workable system for now. My 8 yr old son eats more than most adults; it's an inherited issue from overactive thyroids and extremely high metabolism. This is what works for us. I am cooking all the time, but we have a rotating system. I always cook in bulk. When I cook fish, I don't just cook 1 meals worth. I cook an entire salmon (for instance). I cook 4 or so lbs of zucchini burgers or veggie meatloaf. When I cook the carrots and chicken, I cook a 10 qt stock pot full. I cook usually the 10 qt stock pot full of carrots. I usually cook 2 lbs of frozen green beans at a time since they are easier to cook for me; I don't mind cooking them every 3 days or so. I freeze all except the current meal portion in ziploc type bags. I am cooking at least 1 big thing everyday (skipping one here and there as my schedule demands). That way I am not cooking an entire long drawn out meal every day and don't get stuck when we end up out all day and can't get anything for him out at restaurants. That way I always have veggie, pearsauce, fish, beef and chicken and carrots at all times in the freezer. They only usually stay in the freezer 7-10 days max, so they don't get freezer burn. When something comes up and we have to do errands or my husband wants to take him fishing for a day, or a medical emergency all I have to do is get the cooler and all my bagged meal portion of each type of food and paper plates, bowls and plastic ware and I'm good to go. All I have to do is stop at a gas station on the way anywhere to warm it up. I am able to do all his cooking while homeschooling him 6 or so hours a day and help take care of my husband. Unfortunately not much else gets done though. I do have an 11 year old girl come in once and a while who wants to learn to cook in order to help me as you know things do come up that alter our schedules. She learns to cook and I get free help. I don't know any children that eat as much as my son, so it shouldn't be as difficult for most people. Also, one last note I love my Cuisinart food processor. It has saved my an unbelievable amount of time in slicing carrots, pears and shredding carrots and zucchini for cooking and saucing. Sorry so long, but I hope maybe you get some ideas that may help. This is functional for me. Bonita Breakfast Ideas?? Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I can feed my boys other than eggs every morning?

Guest guest Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 Sure. I got the idea off this list. I take about 4 to 6 small zucchini for approximately 2-4 lbs of ground beef. I do cooking by art and not science (so I can't give you exact measurements, sorry). I double peel the zucchini (my son is highly sal. sensitive), shred them and boil with just a little water. I put just enough (doesn't take long to figure out how much) to keep it from burning, but not have much left over so they burgers won't be too liquidy. Just mix the pre-cooked (as we are earlier stages) zucchini, salt to desired taste in with the hamburger. Pat out into patties and broil. I have usually 2 or 4 pans going in my oven when I do these. My son eats 2 to 3 per meal and I usually make enough for 5-8 meals at a time. They broil in my oven on high for 8-12 minutes depending on how big I made them on the first side. I turn them over and broil on low for 6-8 minutes. I like to keep them from getting too brown since I will freeze and reheat them; don't want them to be too dry. For the meatloaf, I do the same for the zucchini as in the burgers. I also peel, shred and cook the carrots. You can do the zucchini and carrots together if you like since they go in the same dish. I mix 2lbs. ground beef, 3 shredded cooked zucchini, about 2 lbs shredded cooked carrots and 2-3 eggs and salt to taste. I bake it in the long pyrex baking dish or my pampered chef cake pan. It has a really interesting looking orange tinted fat that cooks off. I use 80 % lean for my meatloaf as I want it less dry and I like to take the fat that cooks off and use it to flavor my son's green beans. He can't have any of the fats yet, so it is dual purpose - he gets at least some fat until he can tolerate the good fats/oils and it gives green beans a better flavor since this is his least favorite veggie. It's just not in me to have specific measurements, sorry. I like to create and that always messes up my specific measurements. Just experiment with it to your taste. My son can't tolerate hardly any spices, so the carrots and zucchini add a depth to the flavor since ground beef cooked plain has little flavor. My anti-veggi eating twin sister actually LIKED the meatloaf and the burgers. Now I warn you, the zucchini burgers smell terrible (to me) while mixing and cooking, but taste great. I hate the smell and taste of plain boiled veggies, but these are really good. And kids don't even have to know they are in there if they don't need to know (hint, hint).

Guest guest Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 I agree, breakfast is the hardest meal. Having had my son on the diet for 3 months, he lost too much weight, so we had to " beef " up his caloric count. He really needs to eat a substantial breakfast, and eggs everyday isn't he way to go with him. I think another reason breakfast is hard is because most families are in a rush in the morning. With any activity that requires time, a good schedule is important and this diet is no exception. We decided that breakfast for my son needed to contain a protein product, a fruit, and nut baked product containing coconut oil and fresh squeezed juice made from fruits and vegetables. For the protein, we rotate eggs, fish and meat. For the fruit, we also rotate different items. Twice a month on the weekend or at night, I bake a carrot or banana loaf or muffins and use them during the week for breakfast and for the lunch box. (I freeze) Then we make him his juice twice a week.

Guest guest Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 Here's a wonderful, thorough post about egg-free breakfasts from an experienced SCD cook, Sharon Starcher. Many of the ideas do contain nuts, so you'll have to wade through and find what you need. http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/pecanbread/message/69298 mom to -12 SCD 4/23/04 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
