I wanted to mention one product for anyone dealing with babies with allergies - Baby Mum Mums. They are rice and potato flour with a little salt and sugar. The vegetable one has spinach, carrot and peas in it. They are wonderful. They are the only convenience item for babies I have found that do not contain milk. soy or citric acid. Cheerios are fine, but I wanted something softer, like the puffs availlable. My son loves them!

As for dinner tonight, we had corn, black bean and beef taco salads. I made tortilla chips from corn tortillas to serve with it. It was good, but I really missed the cheese and tomatoes.

Dessert, on the other hand was a tremendous success. Last night, I cut up two very ripe bananas and 1 mango and put them in the freezer. Today, I took them out and put them in the food processor and blended them. It didn't take very long, but it felt like it was going to. I kept thinking it wasn't working and then bam!- creamy ice cream! It was delicious. My daughter gobbled it up and asked me to make some more.
