Yuck, this whole week was a mess!

I'm glad this week is nearing to a close. My 3 year old and I have the worst cold and cough since Monday! I can deal with it but she doesn't tolerate cold and coughs well.  She is miserable! She barely slept at all which in turn kept me up as well.  Anyway, thank God she's feeling much better today. I was about to lose my mind with the constant crying!

I had planned on starting GAPS this week but because of our illness I've decided to postpone it.  I didn't want to add more misery to our misery lol.  I'm still feeling intimidated but I feel I have a better grasp of the diet now and I'm going to do my best to make this work.    I'm still feeling disorganized! I keep thinking about things I need to have and get ready ahead of time.  There's a lot!

What we eat(Rotation Diet)

I've had quite a number of people asking me what we eat everyday, mainly for breakfast.  I'm sorry I'm just posting this now so late.  I'm making some drastic changes though so in a few weeks this may not even apply anymore.   DD and I are going to do GAPS.  See link if interested.

Anyway, here are things we eat for breakfast on rotation: I'm not specifying what days we actually eat them.

Breakfast ideas:
Muffins made from nut butter or nut flours
Pancakes made from nut butter or nut flours
Fruit with malanga butter*
Fruit peanut butter or cashew butter
Chestnut flour muffins *I'm still experimenting with other recipes
Coconut pancakes
Coconut bread
Coconut muffins/cupcakes
Coconut yogurt (homemade)
Turkey bacon
Sunny Side up eggs/scrambled eggs
Poached eggs
Avocado or avocado with eggs or with turkey bacon
Malanga cookies (they're healthy) that I baked
Yam cookies

Occasionally:

Homemade hash browns
Sweet potato hashbrowns

Keep in mind that I mainly bake/cook sugar-free on top of everything else. If I think of something else I'll post :).  I hope this helps some of you.

*I purchased malanga butter, malanga flour and yam flour from Specialty Foods.  They don't have a website, just a phone number you call and they will send you a very detailed catalog of all the tuber flours they sell.  They sell baked goods, imitation nut butters, specialty oils, lipbalms and lotions that can be made according to your allergies.  They are all pricey items but worth it if you have plenty of allergies.

Rotation Diet

Here we go again.  A new rotation diet for DD.  She's been on one that I created but it's really hard to follow it because I feel like there's not enough food to rotate.  It's been such a struggle.  Also she's a toddler and sort of picky, so sometimes what's on the menu plan isn't what she wants to eat.  So sometime today, I have to sit down and create a new one, referencing the ALCAT test.   I look forward to the day when we no longer have to deal with these allergies.

I only have one wish on my Christmas list.  I want her to outgrow her food intolerances and allergies that have been wrecking havoc in her life.  That's all.  Is that too much to ask?
