Week 2, Day 5: Maple Muffins!

For dinner, we had what is a pretty standard dinner in our house, but usually includes tortillas: black beans over brown rice, steamed broccoli and carrots.



My 6 yr old ate everything on her plate and asked for seconds. 2 yr old wasn't too excited about the dinner without the tortillas. We used up our weekly allotment of black beans, but how fantastic she ate all her dinner and liked it!

For dessert, we made another recipe from Flying Apron's cookbook for Maple Berry muffins (we're allowed to have a small amount of maple syrup). We didn't have any fresh berries, so they're really just maple muffins, but delicious all the same. Perfect timing too, since my daughter has a birthday party to celebrate at school tomorrow. She can bring one of these and join in on the fun. Also, she has a birthday party to celebrate this weekend, so she can bring one again for that. Hooray!



A few behaviors that stood out today-she started crying when she noticed a pot she made me was tipped over and emptied out on the deck. On the activity side, she stacked 3 thick couch pillows on top of a bed, then stood on them so she could touch the ceiling. She also had a rash flareup that I only associate with eating soy. Are these related to food moving out of her system almost 2 weeks into the elimination diet, or just a 6 year old being herself? I wonder if it was something she ate on her restricted list, like the beans?
