Milk-less Muffins - life of a Milk Allergy Mom:)

When your sick little girl wakes up and wants to eat...you make her her favorite milk-less muffins.

We use a milk-less muffin base (that we LOVE) and add whatever we feel like that day...today it was M&Ms, not enough to bother Olivia allergy, but enough to add a little flavor to our breakfast muffins :)

Anyone who has a child that is allergic to milk (or has any other food allergy), knows that finding recipes that your child can eat and LOVE can be hard...I have been searching for new recipes to try and after trying several, we found that this, for us, was the best.
 
We use the recipe that follows (I found this recipe months ago and can not find the original recipe to link back to, but this one, is basically the same!)

Milk-less Muffin Base

2 cups of flour
1/4 cup of sugar
1 Tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 Tablespoons vegetable oil
2/3 cup water
2 eggs

Directions 

Preheat oven to 375, use paper muffin cups or grease pan.

Sift flour, sugar, baking powder and salt into a bowl, form a well in center.

Mix oil water and eggs together and then pour into the well.

Stir just until flour is moistened.

Add you favorite ingredient

Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups and enjoy :)

This muffin base is very quick to mix up and our whole family loves it.

I didn't take pictures of making it but here is  picture of the finished product. this is the 1st time we have use M&M's, but Olivia loved them! I would recommend using more then one package of M&M's though...that way they can be spread throughout the muffins :)

Having to say Goodbye

Saying good bye to someone is never easy, especially if you know that it may be the Last time you may ever see them, hug them, whisper that you Love them. You want to hold on to them forever and never let go......and then you have to leave...with that doubt in your mind, the whispered lies floating through your mind, taking root, that you were not there enough, that you didn't hug, kiss, or say you loved them enough. It's enough to crush you...enough to make you want to hide away from everyone.....even yourself. This is where we are...my Beautiful Mom is on hospice..and I am trying to wrap my head around that word.. Hospice......such a scary word....its  the knowledge that the end is near, but never knowing when that final day will come.  The past few months we have been making every opportunity to be with her, we knew this was coming, and we were going to make as many memories with her as we could, but there will always be more memories we want to share with her. ...

Bread Baking Adventure

Lets talk about bread...... I have a love/hate relationship with the stuff. I LOVE the taste of it, but I HATE what it does to me. Lately I have been on a search for healthier foods for me and my family, and since my daughter has a milk allergy, I have focusing most of my searches around what she needs the most ( or in this case what she cant have- milk based products) I have come up with a few great milk-less recipes that we love, like this Milk-less Pancake Recipe  and this awesome milk-less Muffin base that we use all the time. I love mixing up the add-in ingredients to make different muffins that my daughter can enjoy. In an attempt to know what we are putting in to our bodies, I have started making most of our snacks/meals from scratch...and while it takes a little more time and effort, I think it is worth it in the long run. I LOVE to bake, but I am not that great of a bread maker...I don't even own a bread machine! I can make pumpkin bread and sweet breads.......

Hardest Question Ever

Why? This has been the question that I have been struggling with for the last few weeks. Why us? Why again? Why would you allow us to walk through this again, so soon. WHY...Why....why... every night, I lay in bed, the house dark and silent, and ask this question over and over again. and every night I drift off to sleep without an answer. or at least, not the answer I want to hear. My mother gave me a scripture that someone gave her...not going to lie I was expecting a "pick up your bed and walk" kind of scripture. Instead I opened her very loved bible to Hebrews 10:35 and read. "Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward" I looked up in to my moms smiling face and wanted to cry. This scripture said nothing of healing!!  My Mom just smiled and said "Its not about my healing, its about my reward, and what I have to look forward to." I hope that one day I can have her Peace. The peace that ...
