As Professor Moody in Harry Potter would say....CONSTANT VIGILANCE!!!!!!!!
I think I know what caused Gabe's reactions the other week. His sunbutter, which was safe when we first started buying it, now has a notice that it is processed in a factory with peanuts and nuts. CRAP! So apparently we got a tainted jar. Gabe ended up having yet another reaction after having it, thus why I looked on the label again. :( It didn't use to have that warning so they must have just started processing more stuff. Luckily for me my health food store lady is AMAZING! And when I pointed that out to her, she (without me asking) started ordering from a different company that is nut free!!!! WOOT!
So lesson for today, even when you KNOW something is safe check it anyways incase they have changed anything!

OAT MEAL BARS!
So today I perfected my oatmeal bars!!!! YAY! ME! It's finally cool enough to get back in the kitchen!
2 cups plain uncooked oats
2/3 cup namaste perfect flour blend
1/4 cup honey
1 cup blue berry jam (homemade here, but doesn't have to be, just allergy safe)
1 ts baking powder
Mix and pour into a muffin tin, pat down. ! (I ended up with 10 perfect circles)bake at 375 for 10-15 minutes. They are juicy, but hold together and not sticky! YAY! Now we have like our own granola bars for when we are on the run!
I also made namaste muffins. I added cinnamon, nutmeg, tiny amount of ginger and 3 small cut up apples. They are cooking now. Smells sooo good!

Halloween!
Okay so I will admit I'm a control freak who worries about things way too much. I've been really worried about Halloween and trying to figure out a cool way for Gabe to still trick or treat, but not eat the candy.
We are all gonna do Unicef this year! Basically you trick or treat for change donations. And while we are walking around I'll have some small candies for them and lollies. Plus I think I'll pick up surf sweets gummy bears for them as a reward for raising money for needy children. They won't quite get it this year I'm sure, but if Gabe never out grows his allergies then hopefully this is something he can be cool about.

Wow I'm lousy at food journals!!! It's just soooo hard for me! I really am terrible at it!
Well I had some walnuts again and again Sami was screaming that night so for now nuts are a no go.
Gabe had a bad allergic reaction the day before yesterday too. Not a clue what it was to. :( He woke up from naps fine, then had rice cakes and sun butter and within 20 minutes was starting to get red. It was really really really bad. His whole face. After we gave him benadryl the redness let up, but he was still covered in hives all over his face. :( Plus a few on his chest and back. So we went to the doctor and were given a new antihistamine to try.
Yesterday the hives came back again after nap time and a rice cake snack, but I'm not sure if it's from the rice cake or if it's just whatever he got into going back through his system. He can't be allergic to rice too. I don't think I can handle that.
I'll keep you all posted!
