Guest guest Posted September 16, 2004 Report Share Posted September 16, 2004 I have canned for my family for years and when it was time to do peaches and applesauce, I ended up making special jars for Hannah using Splenda to can the applesauce and peaches for her, because she didn't like store bought applesauce and I've never found canned peaches that didn't have sugar. Anyway, just to let you know there are many things you can do! I do have the benefit of being a stay-at- home mom so I didn't have to juggle trying to work and cook for her. She is the youngest of our 4 children, so I did have to work around other children. I tried to keep her dinner as much like ours as possible. If we had roastbeef, potatoes and carrots, I would give her the meat and carrots along with her cocoa! Also, I would make special treats for her and the other kids weren't allowed to eat them. The internet is loaded with low carb recipes and websites and I would just surf and try recipes out myself. If I liked them I knew she would like them. One easy thing we always did, she liked american cheese and we would make " cheese puffs " out of it. Line a Corelle dinner plate with Reynolds saran wrap. Break the slice of cheese into 12 equal squares and line them on the outer edge of the plate all the way around it. Place in microwave for 1 min. on high, take out and cool for a few minutes, they pop right off the plastic wrap and are crunchy. Sometimes we would sprinkly Hidden Valley Ranch powder (that you use for making salad dressing) on the cheese before we cooked it, or cheddar cheese powder for a different twist to it.
