Guest guest Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 Hello, As you may have read before, I'm taking my 18 month old son off corn to see if it clears up his symptoms. If anyone has any suggestions for menu ideas or snacks, that would be great. I looked in the files for the baked garbonzo beans, but couldn't find exactly how to do it. I think that he, as well as my other boys, would like that. I'm feeling very overwhelmed with this new restriction. I know that some of you have a lot more, but gluten, dairy and now corn seems really difficult with our really limited food budget. Any suggestions would be very appreciated. Thanks!

Guest guest Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 I don't know if this helps or not, but the " Eating For Your Blood Type " people say that Type 0 people cannot eat grains (including corn), dairy, as well as a list of other foods. You may want to check that book out for yourself and see if there is anything there that sparks some ideas. http://www.runtheplanet.com/trainingracing/nutrition/bloodtype.asp G - daslm_9_2004 <daslm_9_2004 Monday, November 19, 2007 9:33 am Snacks > Hello, > As you may have read before, I'm taking my 18 month old son off > corn to > see if it clears up his symptoms.

Guest guest Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 It is difficult, but what a blessing your son has in you, to care about his health so much. If he truly is sensitive to corn, it will be so worth the inconvenience. It will eliminate most processed convenience foods from your diet, but even that is a blessing, because it leaves you with the most nutritious foods, and a good reason to eat them. Figure out which fruits and veggies they love, and provide them, served in attractive ways to eat. Most fruits and veggies are much less expensive per pound then corn chips, Doritos, etc. So your budget may benefit too. Have courage!

Guest guest Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 Here is a recipe from the Vegan Lunchbox. Great cook book and website. Everything that follows is from the cookbook. Amy Cheezy Roasted Chickpeas These chickpeas fill the house with an amazing, tantalizing smell like hot buttered popcorn as they roast. In fact, I like to make them on family movie nights and serve them in place of regular pepcorn. They are chewy on the outside and soft on the inside. Makes about 1 1/2 cups 1 15 oz. can chickpeas ( also called garbanzo beans), rinsed and drained. 1 Tablespoon canola oil 1 1/2 teaspoon nutritional yeast flakes 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste. Preheat oven to 400F. Line a baking sheet with parchment. Toss the chickpeas in a medium bowl with oil, yeast, and salt. Spread in a single layer on the baking sheet. Roast for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and slightly crispy. Once cooled, store in an airtight container. Variation: Fast Cheezy Chickpeas When you just can't wait: open a can of chickpeas, rinse and drian, pat dry, then sprinkle with the nutritional yeast and salt. Voila!

Guest guest Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 I am not a fan of nutritional yeast, but I do like to roast chickpeas with a little paprika or garlic seasoning using the same method. They are a tasty snack that way. Sally On Nov 19, 2007 1:41 PM, Amy Lovelace <loveamy wrote: > Here is a recipe from the Vegan Lunchbox.
