Dinnertime can be difficult when standard ingredients like wheat, dairy, and nuts aren't an option. Add to the mix that you're cooking for a two-year-old, and the options get even trickier.
On this episode of Emeril Green we'll meet Wayne, the proud grandfather of a two-year-old who suffers from wheat, gluten, dairy and nut allergies. Wayne wants to prepare healthy meals without missing out on the foods that little kids love. How about fun-to-eat Chicken and Carrot Rice Paper Wraps, Spaghetti Squash With Marinara Sauce, and a yummy Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free Brownie?
TIPS:
- Applesauce:
A great substitute for butter in baked goods
- Spaghetti Squash:
- When cooked it separates into golden spaghetti-like strands
- Low in calories and high in potassium and vitamin A
- Pre-cut Veggies for Snacks:
Saves time and no waste - Banana:
Great to use instead of butter in the brownies
