Bring Your Own Pancake Mix

We have started feeling bad that Laurel is never able to eat hot food when we go out to eat at a restaurant.  It's always fruit or cereal...boring.  Katie decided she would give the place we were headed to this morning a call to see if they would use our batter to make pancakes.  To my surprise (not Katie's) they said yes!

Ready to go

My grandparents were in town on their way back to Wisconsin so we met with them and my parents for breakfast at Larry's Diner in Plainfield.  We handed our little cups of milk and Cambrooke Mix Quick powder to the waitress and out came two golden brown silver dollar pancakes which Laurel quickly devoured!

Yum!

Gus, the owner, told my dad on the way out that we can bring anything we want in for Laurel and he would be happy to prepare it in their kitchen.  Needless to say we were really grateful that they would do this for us and hopefully every restaurant is just as accommodating in the future.  

Portobello and Zucchini Tacos

       


Five ingredients, easy, and delicious.  The recipe below is just for the filling.  You can improvise with your toppings, we went with colby jack cheese and black bean corn salsa.

Ingredients

• 5 portobellos - (480g, 365 phe)
• 2 teaspoons dried oregeno - (2g, 6 phe)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil (free)
• 2 zucchini, cut in 2 by 1/2 inch sticks (550g, 220 phe)
• 1 red onion (100g, 50 phe)

641 mg phe / 646g total weight = 0.99 mg/g

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees
• Toss mushrooms with one teaspoon oregano, one tablespoon oil, and 1/4 cup water then place on a baking sheet
• Toss zucchini and onion with one teaspoon oregano and one tablespoon oil then place on separate baking sheet
• Place both sheets in oven and bake for 25 minutes tossing occasionally
• Serve with tortillas and toppings of your choice

You can use low protein tortilla shells for the PKU version, we went with 6 inch Mission flour tortillas (120 phe) since Laurel was a little low today.  Laurel only picked at the filling but devoured the tortilla or taco bun as she referred to it.
