Tofutti soy-cheese slices

Our youngest has food allergies. A lot of them. Part of the struggle with food allergic children is finding ‘normal’ foods that allow them to feel like regular kids. One of the hardest things to find is a good non-dairy cheese, but we finally found one that comes in slices. Now normally cheese slices aren’t high on my list of food, especially since it’s usually not great cheese. But if you’re trying to make a grilled sandwich, or melting it on veggies, nothing has the same kind of consistency as a cheese single. So we were really thrilled to find Tofutti Soy-Cheese Slices at a health food grocery down the street from the girls’ dance school. As soon as we saw them our eyes widened and we bought a pack right away.

Slices are useful because of the way they melt, but also since they’re individually wrapped, they keep longer. We had been having trouble with another brand of soy cheese that only came in a block form. Invariably, we’d only get through half of it before the whole thing went moldy. What a waste.

So how do they taste? Well, if it’s any indication, the Comic had 5 slices in the last two days. She loves them. We couldn’t be happier!

T and bananas… not so much

Hmmm… it seems that T is still reacting to bananas, just not in the way she used to react to foods. sigh… it feels like a setback, but I guess we got our hopes up a bit. In any event, we are navigating our way through safe food, and so far we’ve been relatively successful. Eating out will become increasingly difficult this year, as T is older and more aware of being left out. That’s why we like Swiss Chalet so much, because she can have actual food there. At Chinese resto we can only really get rice and plain veggies. Or cucumber maki, as you saw. Everything else has a sauce, which all usually have wheat.

Oh well… eating at home is healthier anyway… (^_^)

small victories

I almost don’t want to say it in case it’s not true, but it seems that T is no longer allergic to bananas. She’s had it twice now, and no reaction. There’s hope! (^_^)
