Making Gluten free Ginger bread cookie with Benji for the first time ever. Below is the recipe we used.

We are making breakfast with Benji this morning. Usually, I would have already prepared breakfast muffins that include his most recommended food and maintenance food for the week.

But I am out of them early this week, and have to make breakfast on a whim. We decided to make oatmeal because he requested it. We still need to make sure his breakfast includes his daily maintenance food and weekly maintenance food, as directed by the Food Allergy Institute for his food freedom journey.

We are eight weeks into his journey, and his daily maintenance includes at least 1/4 tsp of quinoa, 1/2 tsp of pectin, and a maximum of 8ml of duck egg white.

At least once a week, he needs to eat 20 peanuts or 2 tbsp of peanut butter, and 1/4 tsp of chia seeds.

I will post a video explaining his recommended food, maintenance food, and dosing food in detail later.

We had an amazing time at Jellystone Campground in Pittsfield, IL. Benji enjoyed his safe S'mores treat. He always is very cautious with what kind of cracker he can have. He learned at an early age to always check ingredients with his parents. Nowadays, we are trying to teach him to memorize the "gluten-free" label on boxes.
