Day 3 of Allergy Free Cooking

Today ended up being a fairly simple day in regards to cooking.  I think I spent a total of 30 minutes in the kitchen all day.  Even with this small amount of time, I made a super yummy recipe that will probably become a family favorite!  I love when recipes turn out.

I woke up really tired this morning.  My brain wasn't ready to try something really complicated in the food department.  I decided on oatmeal for Breakfast.   I threw in some apples and agave nectar to spice it up a bit.

After Zach went down for his morning nap, I started on a new recipe for lunch: vegan quesadillas with coconut cheddar cheese.  I have to say I was very excited to try it out.  I first came across this recipe on the blog, Sweet Roots.  This is an amazing food blog that makes you hungry every time you visit it.  Mary is an incredible photographer and talented cook.  I'm privileged to know her and excited to hopefully cook with her one of these days. 

I was surprised at how easy this cheese was to make. Cook time was under 15 minutes.  The cheese needs to set for 2 hours but since I made it right after breakfast, it was ready to go by lunch time.  This cheese was absolutely delicious! It actually melts which is wonderful.   Zach enjoyed it to and didn't have an allergic reaction to the coconut milk.  Big relief!

For Dinner I took the boys to the soup kitchen our church puts on every Wednesday night.  They were celebrating a birthday and we wanted to celebrate the birthday girl!   The menu was mac-n-cheese, bread, green beans, salad, and fruit.  I fed Zach before we left in case there was nothing there for him to eat.  He ended up eating some veggies at the soup kitchen and diving in to grab some cake.  Luckily I caught him before he grabbed a handful of frosting. 

Be sure to check out the Sweet Roots blog for some amazing recipes.  I know I'll be trying more of Mary's wonderful creations soon!
