Our Menu

I thought I'd share what we had for Christmas dinner. Even with our diet being limited in some ways, we did enjoy a big, big, yummy meal.

Since the youngest member of our family would prefer it if the only things he ate involved carbs and sugars, we decided no red meat and splurged on a ham. Ya it was pricey even though we bought the smallest one we could find. It was worth the splurge, though, to avoid nitrites and nitrates and things that aren't on our diet (cloves). It was so good and we will be dining on leftover ham for days! Best of all, it has a bone so I can look forward to pea soup one of these days. I love pea soup!

I pretended to know what I was doing when I put together macaroni, peas, carrots, mayo, salt, pepper and sugar. It came out well only it needed more salt (I tend to under salt things). We also had smashed potatoes, pineapples, cranberry sauce, campfire biscuits, yams and candy. Yes, if there was a theme to dinner it would have been sugar.

Two really good things though: the biscuits were a last-minute addition and were very well received even though they looked awful. Also (the best part) it looks as if cranberries are ok and aren't causing a reaction for NM. He's been just fine. I'll let him eat more today and tomorrow to see if it's an issue of building up too much in his system or what.
