My children seem to tolerate dairy these days.
At least I know my son does. He used to break out in tiny rashes when he had dairy but he seems to have outgrown his sensitivity to it. I'm so thankful! (I'm hoping he will also outgrow his egg allergy. He did break out the last time I gave him a tiny bit of meatloaf that had an egg cooked in it).
As for my daughter, her eczema remains status quo whether or not she eats dairy so I let her enjoy it once in a while. I try to only give them organic dairy, and if I had my way, raw, unpasteurized dairy products. But that doesn't happen too often.
Anyway, DD8 had Alfredo sauce with fettuccine for the first time a fortnight ago and the beatific expression she wore when she had her first mouthful was just memorable. I didn't care for the ingredients in the store-bought sauce,so this afternoon, I made my own Alfredo sauce with organic ingredients and both DH and DD gave me a big thumbs-up. For some reason, DS didn't care to even try it.
So here it is just you case you want to whip up something super easy, very rich and very pleasing. As it is so very, very rich, you will not want to eat it too often, LOL.
Alfredo Cream Sauce 1 onion, thinly sliced cup butter 2/3 cup heavy cream 1 cups grated Parmesan cheese teaspoon salt (depends on your taste) pinch of nutmeg black pepper
Heat butter in a medium saucepan and cook onions soft. Pour in cream and heat through. Add cheese till it is melted. Add nutmeg and pepper.
The next time I make the sauce, I'm going to stir sliced mushrooms with the onions, and throw in already browned ground beef (preferably grass-fed) to the mushrooms and onions before adding the rest of the ingredients. Then hey, presto, easy beef straganoff for your pasta or brown rice. For years, I had used instant mushroom soup when I made beef straganoff. But since weaning my family off processed stuff a few years ago, I had not made straganoff...one of my husband's favorite meals.
I shall surprise him with it, next week, I think. Hmmm...maybe next month, since we're going to eat rich food again tomorrow, being Father's Day.
