Food suggestions for dairy allergy???

Does anyone have some food ideas for me?!  Our 18 month old is severely allergic to dairy, because of that allergy we are also not allowed to give her any foods with eggs.  So, the poor thing has been eating the same foods over and over and over.  She’s starting to become very tired of them and that makes her very cranky!  She basically eats chicken nuggets, pork, grilled chicken, and sometimes pasta.  BUT we have to be very cautious w/ her fruit/veggie intake.  She also has severe eczema so any food w/ a lot of acid in it makes her eczema break out and ugh, the poor thing is miserable.  We’ve tried chick peas, beans, stir fry, and NO LUCK.  So please, help me out! 

 

Other than that, same old stuff going on.

I’ve been super busy, especially trying to get the girls back on a real schedule.  It’s really not that easy.  We’ve been working at our rental property getting it ready.  Looks like it won’t be ready until November 1st, but that gives us more time to do other things with it.  I must say, it’s really starting to look a lot better!  We installed new laminate floors last time around, fresh paint and now new walls are going up, it’s really coming together.  I hope that we find a tenant quickly though!

I haven’t scrapped in what feels like ages!  I’m soooo eager to get a few pages done, I have years to catch up on!!  I suppose the time will come soon enough.
