Chronicles of The Elimination diet Part 4

We made it through the first week!  Thayden has been doing a great job :)


Day 8
Breakfast: rice cereal with rice milk x 2 bowls
Lunch:  Chicken burgers on the grill, green beans, and mashed potatoes (with coconut butter)
PM snack:  coconut yogurt with blueberries and a kiwi
Dinner:  eggplant stir fry, quinoa, and asparagus (with a couple bites of left over chicken since he was not a fan of eggplant.)
Dessert: rice ice cream with blueberries and strawberries

Eggplant stir fry, steamed asparagus, quinoa

I tried to expand our horizons by cooking with eggplant given they were only 99 cents at the store.  I can't use any cheese, bread, or tomatoes (or tomato sauce), so I just sliced them, salted them and tossed them in to stir-fry - and pretty much everyone has requested NOT to have eggplant again.  So much for trying new things.

Day 9
Breakfast: rice cereal with rice milk x 2 bowls
Lunch: chicken, broccoli, and left over mashed potatoes, almond milk
Snack: rice yogurt with blueberries and strawberries and some gluten free granola
Dinner: baked chicken and rice, carrots, steamed broccoli, sliced pears

Thayden's lunch - he ate it all up! (while I slept after an overnight shift)

Dinner (thayden ate about a 1/4 of the chicken and 3x as many pears as shown here)

Thayden was a little more hyper today but he didn't take a nap and it was chilly and windy outside so he was cooped up all day (and I slept most of the day.)  Overall I think the diet is making a difference.   Looking forward to being able to add in other foods, however!
