Banana Ice Cream | recipe + review
Posted by Courtney Lopez on
One of Sweet Baby’s first safe foods with her FPIES was Bananas. Just recently we’ve been adding more and more to her SAFE food list! One of her favorites has been Enjoy Life Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips they’re Gluten, Dairy, Nut & Soy Free! Since we received the Nostalgia Electrics Fro-Frutti Frozen Fruit Dessert Maker we’ve been making lots of “ice cream” with frozen fruits. I think the Fro-Frutti review has been the tastiest review Sweet Baby has every done! I can literally freeze any fruit and turn it into a frozen treat for her. Many of her safe foods are berries and they come out pretty well too!
Creamy Chicken with Fire Roasted Corn
Posted by Courtney Lopez on
Creamy Chicken with Fire Roasted Corn. Tender bits of corn, shredded chicken, pureed vegetables, complete this comforting fall meal.
I’m always looking for ways to reinvent the food we eat, and at the same time incorporate healthy options instead of richer/fattier food. I love anything over rice.. we try to limit our rice to about 3 times a month so when we have it I want it paired with the ultimate comfort food. Ultimate comfort food to me is a rich and creamy dish where you’d have heavy cream or loads of butter.. however with the use of a blender you can get that same creamy mouth feel and even your tummy will thank you. At least mine does!
Raw Apple Cider

Raw Apple Cider is made by blending delicious fresh apples in a blender. A healthy whole juice recipe. Who doesn’t love apple cider? After we go apple picking we love making our Raw Apple Cider Recipe!
Having a child with multiple allergies can have it’s heartbreaking moments. I can’t even tell you how many times I’ve eaten something and Sweet Baby tries to eat from my plate instead of hers. It kills me, every single time. She used to say “My nummy nums!” and now her new thing is “haaam”. We don’t eat ham often and I don’t remember the last time we did, but whenever she wants to eat something, “haaam”! It’s too darn cute. I wish I could feed her anything and everything.. and my hope is one day she won’t have FPIES. Most children outgrow FPIES by age 3.. so fingers crossed ya’ll. Until then she knows if I don’t allow her to have it she just says “no, no, no’.. Like I said.. heartbreaking.
There’s those horrible moments when I can’t share everything with her, then there’s the best moments when we can enjoy something together. Food is just more fun when it’s enjoyed with someone else. Who wants to eat all alone? I love company. Family, food, friends, it all makes life complete. Some days I just feel as if food is just fuel.. and then there’s days like just last week where Sweet Baby and I enjoyed her first “cider”. While she could probably have apple cider it’s not something I really want to waste a trial on. (We have to trial each and every food – there’s no test or treatment for FPIES) So we got creative in the kitchen with our Vitamix and baby’s safe foods. The end result was quite delicious, healthy, and full of love.
Lemon Pepper Tuna Salad with Ocean Naturals Wild Premium Tuna
Posted by Courtney Lopez on
I am a member of the Collective Bias® Social Fabric® Community. This shop has been compensated as part of a social shopper insights study for Collective Bias and their client.
We paired Oceans Naturals Wild Premium Tuna with gorgeous peppers, a colorful and healthy lunch that is naturally delicious. Most if not all of our food is organic or local. We’re very health conscious about what we put into our body these days, after all it’s the only one you get in this lifetime. I’ve shared other healthy tuna recipes before as we’re big fans of tuna and it eat quite often about 2-3 times a month. Tuna is always the main ingredient in any tuna recipes that we come up with.
Another thing we really appreciate is with Ocean Naturals you can learn more about where your specific tuna came from by visiting their website and entering the code on the can. I don’t know about you but I like to know where my food comes from!
