It seems like there's an increase in the number of children with
peanut allergies these days. More and more schools and childcare programs are introducing no-nut policies. Such is the new rule at the daycare that Preciosa attends, which makes things a bit more difficult when I'm trying not to rely too much on soy products for protein. Gone are the days of cashew sauce on pasta, and almond butter sandwiches for lunch.
It's completely understandable, as two of the children at the center have severe allergies. Now, if only someone could have a meat allergy...all joking aside, there's still plenty of acceptable protein sources out there. In with the seed butters and all kinds of beans!
Today I sent Preciosa on her way with
french toast on freshly baked whole wheat & rye bread, with organic maple syrup, rice vermacelli with teryaki tofu & veggies, strawberries, and soy yogurt.
And also I wanted to show you this crazy beautiful weird heirloom tomato I found at Whole Foods recently. Isn't it amazing?! I've never seen anything like it.

That tomato is kur-azy!
It's like the slice lines are pre-marked for you.
