Bethany is eating a variety of soft baby foods now. She seems to prefer carrots and pears, but so far doesn’t like peas or green beans. Amanda will eat almost anything I put in front of her, which is a Godsend for a two-year-old, especially a gluten-free one! Thankfully she was diagnosed early enough for her to be able to develop a taste for alternative snacks. She loves tuna fish on gluten-free crackers and spaghetti or mac-n-cheese made with rice pasta. My friend Katya has made her pizza on corn tortillas, and we’ve made her gluten-free donuts using a baking mix and a donut maker (like a waffle iron). So far it’s all been a big hit.
Eva is a little more picky. She loves pricey vegetables like artichokes or avocado, but turns up her nose at the cheaper variety, like corn or peas (I’ll admit, I’m with her when it comes to peas!). She knows we often feed her the same thing as Amanda (to prevent arguments), and will sometimes ask, “can I have the gluten one?” when we make both varieties.
