So, looking for something really simple to make for dinner tonight, I tried Gardein Buffalo Wings. We'd had the Mandrain Orange Crispy Chick'n last week and that was really good!!!
The Buffalo Wings were GREAT!!!!!!!!! Child #1 is at work, #2 opted for fruit salad instead so #3 and I had the wings. He didn't like them, but that doesn't surprise me, he doesn't like much I make. :-p
Because I'm doing this for my health, I'm letting each of the kids try their own version. #1 is only vegan on the nights he's here for dinner. #2 likes cheese too much to give that up, but has requested to give up meat (again)(like I would have trouble honoring that request! LOL!) and #3 has opted for no dairy. He's had a particularly rough time between recurring ear infections as a baby, asthma as a young child and he still has frequent resp issues at 11. After my first week of Go Vegan, I noticed that he'd stopped coughing. Last Sunday, pizza at my mom's, Monday he wakes up coughing again.
Sooooo after a week of school lunches that include milk at lunch, he and I have decided that he will be bringing his lunch from now on. He's dedicated to giving dairy free a chance and I couldn't be happier about his choice! So many of the "side effects" of ingesting dairy are displayed in my son. I'm really hoping that he sees a difference and continues on his own.
Am I the only one of us that's not affected by dairy? Surprisingly, dust (imagine THAT in the middle east!!) is what contributes to my allergies.
ReplyDeleteWho knew so many people in our family had an issue with dairy??
If you're ever looking for a substitute for milk (and you are sick of putting soy in your food), opt for coconut milk or cream. It's an amazing substitute.
