Monday 1/15:
Lunch: Leftover Chicken Tortilla Soup!
Rationale: At that point I was still sick and wanted to stay safe and eat dairy-free chicken tortilla soup that my Mom made.
Dinner: Homemade Pizza that my Mom made, carrots, & my Grandma’s Pumpkin Bread
Rationale: When my family makes food they know my allergies plus it is really good, and I can’t complain at all.
Tuesday 1/16:
Lunch: Leftover Pizza
Rationale: A quick lunch and I’m going to work!
Dinner: Campbell’s Soup & Sour Patch Kids
Rationale: My friend at work gave me Sour Patch Kids, which are dairy-free. My work decided to give all its staff Campbell’s soup, one was sirloin steak & potato soup the other was a chicken noodle soup. I don’t have the exact names of the soup, but I was still struggling with sickness and having soup definitely helps with the cold.
Snack: Grandma’s Pumpkin Bread
Rationale: I wasn’t full from the two bowls of soup at dinner so I decided to eat some pumpkin bread!
Wednesday 1/17:
Lunch: Corn Dogs
Rationale: They’ve been a go-to for me! I really enjoy these dairy-free corn dogs!
Dinner: Arby’s: Chicken nuggets, curly fries, & apple turnover
Rationale: It’s Arby’s and I love their dairy-free apple turnovers & I couldn’t resist the chicken nuggets and the curly fries.
Thursday 1/18:
Lunch: Corn Dogs
Rationale: it is hard to find dairy-free corn dogs, but Foster Farms big corn dogs are dairy-free. That’s why I keep eating them!
Dinner: Sheetz: Chicken Stripz, Fryz, and a JJ’s Bakery Chocolate Pie & Banana Cream Pie
Rationale: I love going to Sheetz, their chicken stripz & fryz are dairy-free & you can’t really screw around with that! I also had a JJ Bakery’s Banana Cream Pie for the first time & I was really impressed, I like them and would get them again. Plus the classic JJ’s Bakery Chocolate Pie is still really good as well. I had two pies instead of one because I was really hungry!
Friday 1/19:
Lunch: Two Gom sandwiches, potato chips, carrots, and Grandma’s Pumpkin Bread
Rationale: Gom is a German Sloppy Joe. Gom uses cinnamon instead of Manwich and my family makes that over manwich. I have had sloppy joes and I have to be honest Gom doesn’t taste different from a sloppy joe.
Dinner: A slice of Grandma’s Pumpkin Bread
Rationale: I was pretty full from lunch and I just had a slice of Grandma’s pumpkin bread.
Saturday 1/20:
Lunch: Corn Dogs, Peaches, & Grandma’s Pumpkin Bread
Rationale: These were the last two corn dogs in the box that I took a couple of weeks to eat!
Dinner: Asian Cafe, I got Sweet & Sour Chicken, fried rice, green beans, potatoes, frog legs & a fortune cookie. I did have a plate of Jello as well
Rationale: I love eating here & it never disappoints. I had my usual meal & I was glad that I had the Jello this time because their dairy-free Jello never disappoints.
Sunday 1/21:
Breakfast: Grandma’s Pumpkin Bread
Rationale: I actually ate breakfast & I had Grandma’s Pumpkin Bread (the very last slice of it)!
Lunch: Mom’s Chili, Peaches, & Gummy bears
Rationale: We had a Chili Cook Off at our Church & My Mom made Chili. I didn’t eat anyone else’s chili because I wasn’t sure if they had dairy in it. I’m cautious because I can see people adding cheese and sour cream in their chili beforehand. I’m very cautious and I don’t want to have an allergic reaction. If you’re in a party type of situation ask the person who made the food, find a family member and hope they bring food, or bring your own food. Those are the three options you have.
Dinner: Chicken Strips, raisins, & gummy worms
Rationale: I really love the Kirkwood Chicken Strips from Aldi. Add raisins & gummy worms & I would say you got a really good meal right there.
