Every weekday morning, Mr Peel has 2 poached eggs on toast - the toast being from the Einkorn flour. I use Kerry Gold butter, rather than Land O' Lakes. Kerry Gold seems purer to me.
Other fun things that we've introduced with absolutely no ill effects: we brought back Belgian Waffles. We treated ourselves to a Breville waffle maker (this thing is insanely magnificent) - expensive but damn! it is good. I make buttermilk waffles for the weekend (using the einkorn flour). It is heaven. In fact it is so good, that we don't eat out much any more (I can do better, ha!)
When I don't feel like cooking, we've discovered Amy's Frozen foods -- her Cheese Enchilada dinner and her Tamale dinner are sensational. These foods don't affect him at all. Neither does her canned chilli.
Because he can have his bread and waffles, he doesn't feel as though he's on a diet. I do try to limit the amount of bread carbs - one meal a day is fine -- I find that if he has his toast or waffle in the morning, he won't miss bread at lunch or dinner.
The trick is trying to make the other meals interesting, too. He likes a little heat with his food, so Mrs. Dash salt-free south wernern spices usually gets added to almost everything! Tonight was meatloaf, and I use rolled oats instead of bread crumbs in the hamburger. Instead of mashed potatoes, I make a cauliflower puree that actually turns out quite tasty.
Most times I really try to buy organic. The fun challenge is trying to satiate a craving that he has. About a couple of months ago, he really wanted some potato chips. I finally found a source of potato chips that he really enjoys and is absolutely pure - cooked in sunflower oil -- with no affect on him whatsoever Tato Chips They're from Ireland, and Ireland is a non-GMO country.
It's becoming a very interesting educational journey.
I am so impressed with your scientific method and precision brought to bear on neutralizing a medical challenge in your family with proper food! Thank you for your suggestions about products. The flour thing has had me stumped, as I can’t live without the occasional pie or cookie. My chemistry can’t deal with crucifers like cauliflower, but I could really try some yellow veggie purées, and I’ll keep that in mind, too. Much appreciated! This has been a great thread!
