So - here I am again. We start homeschooling on Monday, so I didn't realized how fast summer has gone. A majority of this summer has been spent nursing the sick family back to health. Once someone is better, someone else has come down with something. Technically, Summer is not really over until Mid-September, right? So I have a few weeks to go.
To ease back into it, I decided to do something easy - definitely NOT from the book. I think I am pretty much trying new things, and more trying to add things to stuff he WILL eat. Not a HUGE majority, but still more than when we started. It still surprises me that Green (Spinach) Eggs were a hit. Today, I cooked & Pureed some Garbanzo beans. I figured Beans were a good choice (Vegetable, Protein, Carb all in one). I pureed it best I could into a Paste, when mixed with Water. I offered Bailey a PBH sandwich, which he gladly accepted. I just didn't tell him I had mixed the PB with Garbanzo Beans Paste. I tasted it myself first. Luckily, PB has a strong taste to mask other flavors. I just tasted like Thick PB. You couldn't taste the beans at all. But Bailey is not always about taste, he is also sensitive to texture. However, I served it to it, and I left the room. I didn't watch him, expecting a reaction, I didn't tell him it was any different from any other PBH sandwich I had ever given him. I just gave it to him, and left. He never said anything, until he was about 3/4 done. Then, he didn't say it was gross, didn't say anything except - for "I can't eat anymore". I didn't ask why - I just took it and threw the rest away. It could be that he was just FULL, not that it was gross/too thick. That is a lot of protein right there. I will definitely be trying this again, maybe just not so thick.
Sorry no picture today.
COMING UP:
I am in the process of drying Garbanzo beans, and I will be grinding them up in a coffee bean grinder to make some flour. Then I will make some bread with it. I am anxious to see how it turns out. We'll see. Stay tuned!
