You are my sunshine, my only sunshine. You make me happy, when skies are grey. <— That song would make me cry tears up until just last year. It’s the song my mother would sing to me every night before she would put me to bed. I never thought I would be able to smile while singing it again until I had Sweet Baby. She is in every word my saving grace. My 2014 New Year’s Resolution is to plow through FPIES trials and create more fun and delicious recipes for her to enjoy.
In the past week we’ve come up with some fun smoothie recipes, a biscuit recipe, and even a brownie recipe during the Christmas holiday. I feel so blessed to have these sweet moments and recipes to enjoy with her. The best part is that she’s doing it all with me right by my side. She truly loves to be in the kitchen, just like her mommy!
Chris will always be my Valentine, but I’m so happy to have Sweet Baby as my little Valentine too! While I can’t give her a huge box of chocolates or even a store-bought candy bar, I can most definitely give her love, hugs, kisses, and our very own sweet treats that we make together. Bonus.. this recipe has NO food coloring or harmful chemical ingredients that go into those Valentine’s Day treats she’s “missing out” on. I don’t think she’s missing out, do you? 😉

I’m am so glad you are finding new recipes that she can enjoy with no problems.
I have a question about the FPIES though. Are the safe foods different for every child? Or is it a list of foods that generally most FPIES kids can eat?
Great question, Tammy! 🙂
FPIES is unique for each and every child. Sweet Baby can’t have oats, chicken, or soy as far as we know and we’re still trialing more foods! We’ve noticed she has the most common triggers, but in short no child is the same – some kids don’t even have safe foods while some only have one trigger. It’s really not a fair allergy at all and there’s no testing or treatment which makes it even more “fun”.
No, your daughter isn’t missing out at. all. In fact, I’d say she has much more than most little girls. What a lucky little girl (and mommy)! 🙂
Oh, she is the sweetest Valentine ever! And I love that there is so much that is good that she can have too.
So glad you can give her a fun treat that’s gentle on her system. She’s a doll!
That is a very nutritious smoothie. She is not missing out on anything. It is probably the rest of us with our eat-anything diet that is missing out.
Sounds like our kind of smoothie! I use to sing you are my sunshine to my oldest all the time. 🙂
So glad she can have a delicious and healthy smoothie for Valentine’s Day and it is the perfect color!
I would totally have one of Sweet Baby’s smoothies. It looks super yummy. I am so glad she is getting some variety now.
That smoothie looks awesome! Thanks for the info and recipe. 🙂
This smoothie is just as pretty as it is tasty. It’s so wonderful that you’re finding comfort and strength in being a mommy.
I want to have that smoothie for breakfast. Sounds great!
Aw what a fun treat for her, sounds great! I love it being Valentine’s Day Inspired!!
My kids asked me to make them a smoothie last week but I didn’t have a good kid friendly one. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for sharing this information!!!!
That sounds amazing! My children would love something like this.
1. I absolute love that song and sing it to my daughter all the time.
2. You are a great mom working on recipes for your daughter to enjoy
3. Love the name of your delicious sounding smoothie!
Awww, I’m glad that you’re finding food she can enjoy! And, this looks amazing BTW.
Reminds me of Orange Julius!
So glad your adorable lil girl can enjoy a delicious treat like this!
This sounds like the perfect breakfast smoothie – I could drink one every day!
