One fall afternoon the gang and were hanging out at Sam's while our mommies and daddies were at work her mommy gave us banana nut bread as a snack. Half way through my slice I started to get an itchy mouth so I stopped eating my bread Sam asked whats the matter don't you like the bread. I told her that my mouth was itchy she went and got her mommy who then called my mommy to let her know and ask if I could have some allergy medicine. My mommy said yes before asking what nuts were in the bread. Sam's mommy said it was walnuts when I got home mommy and I talked about 3 new rules no walnuts if I felt bad tell an adult and ask before eating something new.
The next day mommy and I talked to my teacher letting her know about my allergy. She said she understood cause she was allergic to milk and eggs. We were making trail mix for snack that day so I asked are there walnuts in here my teacher asked if any one had brought walnuts to add Kai raised his hand. So we decided to make it without the walnuts scoop out some so I could eat it then they would add the nuts to theirs.
Zack asked why we had to do that so I said I found out I'm allergic to walnuts whats that mean asked Kate. It means I cant have them Because they make my mouth itch oh ok she said. Lil asked Is it sort of like my daddy not being able to have strawberries cause they make his belly upset I said exactly like that. Jake told me he understood since he had recently found out he was allergic to tomatoes. The teacher asked if any one else knew some one or had an allergy themselves.
Tommy raised his hand and said that his grandma Lulu couldn't have shellfish or onion since they gave her a rash. Chuckie said that he and his daddy both had lots of allergies He was allergic to citrus almond and some other things. Kate said her mommy couldn't eat wheat or she got sick they were trying Kate on the wheat free diet for her headaches. Zack said he and his auntie were allergic to soy and Cinnamon. Kai Said his uncle couldn't eat bananas or kiwi. Min Jun said he and JiYeon had to avoid blue food dye as it made them get a bad headache. And Susie reminded me she was allergic to cashews. Sam said she couldn't have avocado since it gave her a rash.
We were asked to help make nut free Signs for our classroom doors so people knew not to bring them in. we also were asked to please be careful about what we brought in our lunches so our class could be safe. We all had to pack our lunches since there wasn't a cafeteria. We were given a note to take home so we could explain the new nut free policy in our classroom since there were 3 allergies in the room.
We were also learning about eating healthy so we were challenged to bring in a healthy nut free lunch the next day.
When I got out of school my mommy and Zack's untie were waiting they said that we needed to run to the grocery store for a few things while Zack would grab there stuff for her we told them about the new nut free rule and the healthy lunch challenge. We headed into the store where the first item on both list was fruit mommy and I grabbed grapes and watermelon while Zack grabbed apples and Bananas we also needed fresh veggies I picked out baby carrots and mushrooms while Zack picked out bell peppers celery and peas. We then headed to the bakery for Pretzel rolls and sandwich buns while Zack grabbed sub rolls and a flat bread called pita bread. After this we headed to frozen veggies and fruit where Zack and I both grabbed frozen strawberries he also grabbed some mixed berries. I then picked out some riced butternut squash and broccoli while Zack picked a broccoli Cauliflower mix and some cheesy broccoli.
We then headed to the dairy section for milk eggs and butter. Mommy and I also needed sour cream and cream cheese while Zack's auntie needed shredded cheese. We then went to the deli for lunch meat and fresh cheese I picked out fresh mozzarella cheese while Zack got some ham and some cheddar cheese. From there we grabbed tortillas and a few other items before checking out.
When we got home mommy and I made riced broccoli risotto with sunflower seeds mushrooms pureed carrots and chopped olives. It had a sauce of butter milk flour and a little hot sauce sour cream and cream cheese.
We would pack the leftovers in my thermos in the morning before school I would also have a pretzel roll a string cheese and some grapes. I would buy a milk at school and as a treat I took a small deceptively Delicious chocolate brownie. When I got to school the next morning I turned my lunch pail into the teacher before class started. At lunch she handed us each our lunch pails and we sat as a group enjoying our lunches Kate had leftover hot dish an apple string cheese milk and a cookie. Phil and Lil had cheese sandwiches yogurt an orange carrot sticks milk and a mini reptar bar.

Kimi and Chucky were having Home aid Macaroni and cheese strawberries broccoli milk and a small piece of apple pie. Kai and Kya were Having adobo and rice lumpia celery a pear and mini doughnuts. Sam and Jake were having Leftover Pizza apple juice carrots peas yogurt and a mini brownie.

The teacher said we all did a great job packing healthy lunches. She said we would be starting a project where we would be working on following the my plate plan we were each asked to keep a food diary for two weeks. Starting then we were each given a little notebook to keep track of it all in. that night mommy made spaghetti for Zack Susie Kate Jake Sam and I.
