![]() You were chosen for this, because you are strong enough, you are smart enough and you are brave enough. Thank you for asking the hard questions, and sharing the harsh truths. Thank you for showing up, everyday, even when it feels too hard. Thank you for mending broken hearts with your homemade cupcakes. I see you, holding your screaming baby, dropping silent tears down his back, because you know, that this road ahead will be long. While you silently pick up the shattered pieces of your own heart. I see you, do your best to mend a child’s broken heart, as they face the disappointment of not being able to join in, or eat the food. I see you, with a forced smile and a heavy heart, as you reply ‘no thanks, we can’t eat that’ for the hundredth time. I see you, holding open tired eyes, making yet another dinner when you wish you could just order take out, like everyone else. So much food prep, but without it, they would suffer. Always in the kitchen, planning, baking, preparing, chopping, cooking. ![]() That she missed out, yet again, because of her allergies. I see you, hide your disappointment that your child didn’t get invited, because of his allergies. Did I do this to my child? Could I have done something better? Could I have prevented that reaction? Could I be doing more to help? I see you, lying awake at night worrying, feeling guilt. I see you, wondering was it food? Which food was it, or is it just a tummy bug? I know – the guessing game is just so tiresome. I see you, reading all the food labels at the supermarket and quizzing the restaurant staff with tireless questions I see you, up late at night making safe cupcakes to take to the birthday celebration tomorrow.

It’s fragrant, smooth and delicious.Īnyone else struggle to get veggies into the kids at dinner every night? Eight veggies crammed in and disguised as butter chicken in here! This one is solving all sorts of problems! No dairy or coconut required as the cauliflower helps to achieve that creamy texture. It’s safe to say that iv’e nailed this one. At the time I made this we were dairy free, coconut free and cashew free (among other things) and it was so hard to find recipes that could resemble anything creamy without any of those ingredients. When we were coconut free I missed curry so much, I spent a lot of time trying to create something that was just as delicious as the cream or coconut laden version, that was family friendly as well. This dairy free and coconut free butter chicken is one that the whole family can enjoy.
