There hasn't been too much cooking going on this week because I've been sick. Nick did make Chicken Croquettes, after some begging from me. Three hours and 32 pans later, dinner was ready. :) All four kids loved them, which is a rare event. I liked them, too. Nick wasn't as impressed. He kept saying that they needed more chopped veggies, and lots more spices and garlic. I told him that that's not how croquettes are supposed to taste, but he stood his ground. He served them with mashed potatoes and green beans. So good.

There are so many new products on the market since we did GFCF when Jay was younger. I always used Tinkyada pasta, but Nick tried Mrs. Leeper's corn pasta because he thought that the kids would like the shapes. Another hit. He made garlic bread with some bread he'd made using Kari's recipe. Another hit.

Kari's bread was a big hit. Since our bread maker has been buried for years now, Nick just made it in the oven. He followed Kari's recipe, substituting coconut oil for the olive oil, and baked it at 375 degrees for around 45 minutes.

Since we transitioning (again), he got lots of treats for the kids like Enjoy Life cookies, Original Tings corn sticks, Nature's Promise Veggie Sticks (not safe for E), and Kinnikinnick Vanilla Glazed Donuts. GracieGirl liked the donuts but since they were processed with sesame seeds, they didn't work for E.
