Breakfast on Wednesday, 6/24/15

This morning we started the Elimination Diet. Since our daughter OG--the only one eliminating almonds--stayed over at her sister's house last night, the rest of us had a breakfast containing homemade almond milk.

On the menu:
Grapefruit
Pumpkin Quinoa Porridge
Homemade Almond Milk
Chopped walnuts

Mashed banana (EL only)
Maple syrup (LS only)
Organic stevia (IMS only)

NOTE: Both iivo and EL are having to eliminate all sweeteners, both natural and artificial, because they tested for yeast sensitivities.

(Well, iivo did--both brewer's and baker's yeast. EL did not, but she has eczema, which is often associated with a yeast problem, so she is having to eliminate sweeteners, too.)

Iivo chose to add a little sprinkle of stevia to his porridge. EL chose to mash up a banana and sweeten hers with that. I used just a smidgen of pure maple syrup.

This is quite tasty, even without any sweetener of any sort! The blend of the almonds, pumpkin, and pumpkin pie spices creates a delicate sweetness all on its own.

This is definitely a keeper!
