Leftover Turkey Casserole (Dairy free)

I combined almost everything we had left over from Thanksgiving dinner, including...
Turkey
Stuffing
Mashed Potatoes
Gravy
Corn

in a pan over med heat
adding...
Coconut milk
Soy aminos (I'll probably use coconut aminos next time)
Garlic salt
Celery seed
Onion powder
Sage

After mixing all the ingredients together I poured all of it into a casserole dish, covered it with diaya white and yellow cheese, covered it with tin foil and cooked it at 400 degrees until my husband got home about 30 mins later.

I served it with cranberry sauce. I thought it was really good and everyone else seemed to like it too.

Can't live without list....

1. Burt's Bee's Tear Free Shampoo and Wash- is one of the only Formaldehyde free children's soaps I can find that actually suds. I love it!
2. Similasan Homepathic Cough Syrup- for my 2 yr. old really works and I trust their products.

Anaphylaxis

I thought this article had some interesting information about using an Epi Pen. We've only had to do this once and I REALLY don't want to do it again. My greatest fear about this is, I won't use it when we should've or soon enough and it will lead to disaster. I guess I need to clarify with his allergist. Fisher gets welts often from food and this article leads me to believe that the Epi Pen should be administered if this happens. Hmmmmm.... Anyone out there have experiences they would like to share?

Still learning...


Giant Chewy Sweet Tarts have egg in them. Fisher had his first GI reaction to egg from just one bite. In the same weekend, we've decided we will no longer eat at Mexican Restaurants. We had a very knowledgeable restaurant manager, wiped down the high chair and table and Fisher still left the restaurant covered in hives. It was like a cheese landmine. It's just too risky. All the precautions we took kept him from ingesting an allergen, but it just wasn't enough to prevent exposure entirely.

Pumpkin Pie

Here are a couple Vegan Pumpkin Pie recipes to choose from for Thanksgiving Day.

Easy Vegan Pumpkin Pie

Bryanna's Vegan Pumpkin Pie

Thanksgiving just wouldn't be the same without a yummy pumpkin pie. I hope we have luck with one of these. I'll let you know how it turns out.

Happy Holidays!
