**This is a week-long series that will detail the food that I feed my almost 3-year-old who has multiple food allergies, including dairy, egg, tree nuts, and peanuts. Each day I will detail the food she eats for her meal. I will update snacks with the dinner menu. Included you will see how I menu plan and prepare meals for the allergic child. I will be starting Sunday (although I will be skipping Monday).**
Wednesday - Lunch
Tofurky, Smiles, Applesauce, Soy Milk with ketchup and mustard

Hi! I love these posts. I have a 2-year-old daughter with the same allergies, so it's great to see what you feed yours.
ReplyDeleteI have just started reading this so pardon me if you mention this elsewhere and i missed it, but I was wondering what the reasoning was behind the tofurky instead of other dairy-free hot dogs? We love Hebrew National Kosher 97% fat-free beef dogs.
So I'm just curious if you choose them for health, cost, someone else in the house eats them, vegetarian diet, etc? Thanks!
Thanks for reading Common Writer. I have to admit I knew very little about alternative foods when I started feeding my daughter table food. Early on, I saw the Tofurky in the vegetarian section at the grocery store and noticed that it had so much less fat than regular hot dogs that I thought we would give them a try. The result was that she loves Tofurky, so I just go with it. No real reason other than trying it out and she liked them.
ReplyDeleteWe haven't tried Hebrew National hot dogs, but we have talked about it. Thanks for the reminder that they low in fat also.
