A nursing mother's journey into the world of allergen-free eating.

discouraged

I’ve been feeling a little discouraged the last few days. Miss M has been cranky every time she’s been awake. I think she got a little of the flu bug from her sister, that she’s teething, and that she’s hit a growth spurt. I would be unhappy, too, if all those things were happening to me, poor thing. But an unhappy baby means mommy doesn’t keep up on her housework, and I have all these projects that need completing that I’m not getting done either.

Besides all that, I can’t just throw something easy in the oven for dinner. Because of Miss M’s food allergies, I can’t eat pretty much anything that is pre-packaged, unless I want to pay an arm and a leg for it (and sometimes not even then because of the soy or eggs that are in the gluten-free products). So I either have to let my baby cry while I try to cook something I can eat, or I end up eating potato chips and cereal for dinner. Not a good combo–let me tell you!

I found a recipe online for a good pizza crust that you can have mostly mixed up beforehand that I think I’m going to try tonight. I’ll let you know what I think.
