How did your Thanksgiving go? Did you leave it, wishing the Pilgrims that started it all had stayed on their side of the "pond"or did you leave with more confidence and security in handling your child's peanut allergy?
I love to cook so my volunteering to cook for the 12 people in our family who would be celebrating shocked no one. My mother in law who cooks sometimes understands food allergies so her cooking would not stress me out.
Our family get togethers are "nutty" but never involve actual nuts. In our family, 4 people (including Tyler) are allergic to tree nuts. (Can you "genetics??") Tyler is also allergic to peanuts and coconut. It might seem intimidating to cook for that many people with life-threatening food allergies but it is so "normal" to us, I rarely even give it a second thought.
Here is what I served:
Roasted Turkey
Stuffing (made by my mother in law)
Cream Cheese Mashed Potatoes
Turkey Gravy
Macaroni & Cheese
Green Bean Casserole
Corn
Sweet Potato Casserole (brought by my mother in law)
Fresh Pineapple
Hawaiian Sweet Rolls
Deviled Eggs (made by my mother in law)
Desserts (my fav part!)
Pumpkin Pie
Sunbutter Cookies
Cookies & Cupcakes (brought by my sister in law)
The funniest thing was the fact everyone said how the Sunbutter cookies tasted better than peanut butter cookies!!
How was your Thanksgiving?
