Wheat Free Kids Breakfast Ideas

  • Van's Waffles & French Toast Sticks
  • Nutri-Cookies
  • Hormel Natural Choice Bacon
  • Honeysuckle White Turkey Breakfast Sausage
  •  Stonyfield YoBaby Yogurt- the YoToddler Yogurt has cereal mixed in, so stick with the YoBaby
  • Rudi's Original, Multi Grain or Raisin Bread- this makes great toast with Brummel & Brown spread
  • Rice Chex Cereal 
  • Fruit Smoothies- Check out my Elimination Diet Meal Plan for two great recipes

Honey Glazed Carrots


Salt
1 pound baby carrots
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon lemon juice


In a medium saucepan, bring water to a boil. Add salt and then carrots and cook until tender, 5 to 6 minutes. Drain the carrots and add back to pan with butter, honey and lemon juice. Cook until a glaze coats the carrots, 5 minutes. Season with salt.



Slow Cooker Turkey Breast

4-5lb turkey breast
2 Tbsp Earth Balance Soy Free spread (or butter of your liking)
1 tsp salt
1 tsp thyme
1 tsp sage

Wash and pat dry the thawed turkey breast.  Place 1 Tbsp of butter under the skin of each breast.  Combine the salt, thyme and sage; sprinkle over the skin of the turkey.  Place in the slow cooker on low for 4-5  hours or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees.  Slice and serve.

I reserved the cooking liquid to make Wheat/Diary/Egg free Cornbread Stuffing.
