What's to Eat? The Milk-Free, Egg-Free, Nut-Free Food Allergy Cookbook
Our two boys have been diagnosed with food-induced eczema.  This would be a breeze if they would just both be allergic to the same foods.  But, alas, we have a varied array of non-overlapping allergies.  The main culprits are eggs, nuts, and dairy.   What a blessing to this mother to find the book What's to Eat? - The Milk-Free, Egg-Free, Nut-Free Food Allergy Cookbook. 

The day I received the book in the mail I sat down and read the cookbook, cover to cover.  Desperate to find a solution to dinner (and other meals), I was pleasantly amazed to read over 100 recipes for salads, soups, main dishes, breads, side dishes, and desserts.  In addition, there are some suggested menus for special occasions.

Finally, I can plan a menu we can all enjoy without planning two or three meals per meal time.  The ingredients are not obscure, and they are either in my kitchen already or I have seen them in my supermarket on a regular basis.  For the next four days, I have set up a menu from the recipes in the book and have made a list of seven ingredients that I do not already have in my pantry, mostly herbs. 

I am looking forward to testing these recipes and finding a freedom in our meal plans that does not include stops at the local fast food restaurant.  In our home we can begin to eat our way - every day!

Do All to the Glory of God

-
I Corinthians 10:31- Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God. Recently I have heard this verse used in reference to several different topics: drinking, working, eating, etc., because they are directly referenced in this verse.  While I've not had to struggle with alcohol and no longer work outside the home, I have tried to apply this more to my eating habits.  But that is not what God has been convicting me about lately with this verse.  It has been about taking care of my home and family for the glory of God.  It is easy to take the privilege of being a stay at home mom for granted.  I am home all day, so the dishes and other housekeeping can wait. I am busy checking my favorite blogs, I can read the kids a book later. My Bible isn't going anywhere, I'll do my devotions later on...maybe while the kids nap. And there are many more things that I can take for granted.  But are the tasks I am avoiding for the moment the very

There is none that doeth good

Romans 3:12 They are all gone out of the way , they are together become unprofitable ; there is none that doeth good, no, not one . How many days do I feel that way as a stay at home mom?  Too many to count.  I'm sure there are others who can relate to this feeling of futuility while raising children for the Lord. But just as Romans continues to describe the hope possible for a person, what an encouragement that there is hope for our children as well. There is no hope for man in his natural condition, but Christ made the ultimate sacrifice to make a way for us to go to heaven.  He died for our sins and took our place of punishment; and when we accept that gift, we are made profitable to God and good in his sight again.  Becoming a parent and choosing to raise children for the Lord is a sacrifice.  A sacrifice of our time, treasure, and patience.  What makes a parent make that sacrifice?  LOVE!   Even when my kids are at their worst, I still love them and use that op

OBEY RIGHT AWAY, THE RIGHT WAY

-
I’ve said that to my children many, many times; as a matter of fact, just this morning I said it to my oldest two. Only this time, I was convicted myself. How many times have I looked at the kitchen counter and thought, “I really need to do the dishes,” and yet they remain there, dirty, for a few more hours (or days). UGH! What a hypocrite I’ve been in front of my children. No, they didn’t hear anyone telling me to clean the house, or know that I refused to obey the prompting and try to rationalize my disobedience with things like the following: • I don’t feel good today; I’ll do it tomorrow when I’m feeling better. • I let it go too long already. I feel overwhelmed by it, and I just can’t handle that feeling right now. • Maybe if I leave it until after my husband gets home I can make him feel sorry enough to do it for me. • I don’t want to do it now, just because! Whatever the reasons, they cause me to not obey right away, the right way. That’s just for the chores that I
