| Brings back so many memories! |
I had the good fortune of finding out I had Celiac disease at a very young age (under two years old), and was more than fortunate to have parents who took immaculate care of my digestive system. Being able to eat a school lunch was a very rare occurrence for me growing up, my mom packed my lunch everyday of my elementary and some of my middle school years. At least until my preteen hormones kicked in and talked back to her about what she was packing, from that day on I was on my own (big mistake).
I remember vividly one of my favorite "sandwiches" to find, a plain Quaker rice cake smeared with Adams crunchy peanut butter, topped with banana or apple slices to keep the Pb from sticking to the sandwich bag, and to add extra fruit. I can't tell you the thousands upon thousands of strange looks I got over the years, but to this day I sometimes make it for myself for lunch. Now I just have to substitute sun butter for the peanut butter when Ceci is around.
If you are looking for different lunch ideas for yourself or your kids try this one, and if you need more inspiration take a look at the list Kim of Cook it Allergy free made of, PRINTABLE LIST OF 50+ ALLERGY-FRIENDLY LUNCHBOX IDEAS. It's really inspiring! Makes me rethink my own lunches for those days I feel in a rut.
