Dinner Is Served

The Heck House has been cooking Dairy Free for about four years now. Eli and Wyatt both can not tolerate having any dairy (this includes butter, cheese, etc. most people forget those little things). When they have dairy their skin gets rashes, their stomachs hurt, and they turn into the whiniest little monsters you ever did not care to meet in your life. 

Over the last few months, though, we have decided to take out wheat and gluten as well. We are still have some issues Eli's body, so we have been researching different diets and adding things in. 

In the past, Taneesha and I have continued to eat dairy even though the two boys cannot. Recently, though, we have been noticing a lot of our own issues regarding our diet. In light of this, as well as trying to build healthier lifestyles, we are all, as a family, committing to eating well. We are slowing adding in only dairy, wheat, and gluten free foods and drinks. This is not easy, but it is also not as hard to do as you think. We have been able to find a lot of foods we can eat that are still, surprisingly, amazing tasting!

This was tonights main attraction: Chicken Breasts with Cherries and Kale. This was super good  and super quick and easy! We got the recipe from a website called Elana's Pantry, which has become a wonderful resource for our family. The recipes or EASY and taste AMAZING. 

Some may be wondering what our kids think about all of this. Surprisingly, they are doing really well with it and have been eating and enjoying most everything we have made so far. 

This will be hard, we know, but we are trying to be intentional about how we live and what we eat and what we teach our kids in doing this. We see that changes need to be made in our lifestyles and our diets. This is just one step closer to reflecting good stewardship of our bodies and health. We want to WORSHIP Jesus in all we do. Even in how and what we eat.
