There was a big first in our household today for Rylee and Ally. They both ate their first peanut butter and Jelly sandwiches. Okay, so it was almond butter, but she wasn't allergic to it. YAY!!!! I feel as though I've missed out on being able to fix that easy sandwich over the last year and a half due to her peanut allergy. Someone told me a long time ago they didn't think almond butter would affect her but with her terrible reactions I was too scared to try. But today I got brave. I tried a little on her hand for 30 seconds and wiped it off. Other than her not liking me smear food on her hand, she was fine. I still was a little nervous to actually let her ingest the food but at lunch I didn't feel like cooking so I made Rylee some and let Ally have a bite. One to see if she liked it because the first time she had it and ended up in the ER, she didn't even like it. And two to make sure she would still be breathing! All was ok so I made her her own. Both she and Rylee, (especially Rylee), liked them. It was soooo nice to make such an easy lunch.

Yeahhhh!!! I'm off to the store to buy some almond butter tonight!
Yay, that is good news. Easy lunches on the way. I too will now have almond butter on hand. :)
Whoo hoo! Almond butter and jelly sandwiches and no trip to the ER! It's just a part of a kid's life to eat a PB&J, or at least a version of it!

Did you try it? I have to admit that almond butter is BETTER than PB. SOOOO good! I'm glad it worked! I used AB with the first three because I simply couldn't wait two years to do peanut butter! Too easy of a lunch!!!
