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

Recipes featured on this episode:
White Bean Dip for Veggies
Spaghetti Squash with Marinara Sauce
Oven Roasted Broccoli
Chicken and Carrot Rice Paper Wraps
Gluten-free, Dairy-Free Brownie
