This little combination has CURED my son. Henry tried this little combination on Saturday while I was at work. I got an exciting call that Charlie's tummy trouble has finally subsided. We have used the GREEN banana trick when he was a baby too. But We haven't had to use a green banana for the past year or so.
A whole GREEN banana (Sam's has the BEST), a half teaspoon of strawberry probiotics, and a little vanilla Silk. Mix it til smooth in our mini-food processor and TA-DA! You have a little sweet piece of miracle drink.
Daddy even fixed up a little special shake cup for Charlie to drink from and he just loves it. We give him at least 2 of these a day. (Don't you just love the Don King hair do? He really needs a hair cut. And he has dribbles banana milkshake on his shirt, so he looks kinda like a orphan child, but I promise he's NOT!LOL)
I also decided to make a trial run of a GLUTEN FREE cake. Since Charlie's Birthday is coming up, he will need some birthday cake to celebrate his special day. I found this mix at our UNITED Market Street. (they have a pretty nice selection of gluten free stuff, but not really any cheaper!)
I cut a little piece out of the corner and HEY, it's not bad. I will say it is a little bland, but good. He can have icing, so I will probably ice it with vanilla icing tonight for dinner. It would be really good with homemade whipped cream and fruit or gluten free chocolate chips. I found several "snack" things for him to eat. I got a bag of ginger snaps, large bag of pretzels, some fruit snack sticks, a sandwich bread mix (for my bread maker), crackers, soy yogurt and even a small package of chicken nuggets. It was still Very expensive, but being able to have a ready made snack instead of having to cook something is really nice.
Other than my baking an shake making I have been inspired to do some cleaning catch up. I think over the past 2 weeks with Charlie being sick and fussy, it really got me out of the grove. But since I have a happy boy back, my grove is back and it feels so good. I even mowed the front lawn after I got off work last night. I love to mow with our riding mower. I actually fell really relaxed out there. Summer is coming and I'm ready for it. Only about 4 more weeks of school for us, and swimming pool look out, here we come.
