I wanted to put together a family lunch which we could all enjoy together and was PKU friendly. It was nice to put all of the food in the middle of the table and allow Keir to just help himself for any of the food without any need for weighing. He had a petit filous … Continue reading Family Lunch
Scrumptious PKU Cookies
We have tried out a new Low Protein Cookie recipe from Fate Special Foods. These cookies were very simple to make and they tasted divine. They had a lovely chewiness in the middle, similar to a honeycomb texture. No crumbling either. This recipe uses golden syrup which gives it a delicious depth to it. I … Continue reading Scrumptious PKU Cookies
PKU Tortilla Wrap Recipe
We have tried various PKU flat bread recipes to make our low protein version of wraps. I think we finally found the recipe that works really well. This one had the perfect texture as it was flexible enough to roll with fillings inside. We served it with a spread of houmus, grated carrots, cucumber and … Continue reading PKU Tortilla Wrap Recipe
DIY School Bag
I had mentioned in one of my previous posts that Keir chose a fabric for me to make him a rucksack. I have finished it!
Taranis Cake Mix Review
I always keep a couple of Low Protein Cake Mixes in the cupboard so I can whip up some cupcakes quickly for Keir if I need to. In the past I tried, Loprofin and Fate Cake Mixes. I found couple of issues with both. I tend to get caught out as Loprofin Cake Mix needs … Continue reading Taranis Cake Mix Review

Naturally, we are very nervous about management of his diet at school as he is very young and will need lots of help. The SEN co-coordinator of the school has arranged a meeting between us and the school chef. … Continue reading Talking to School about PKU
PKU and Camping at a Music Festival
We went to a music festival this weekend. Keir really enjoyed staying up pretty late to listen to the music. His preference is very clearly rock music! To make life as simple as possible we took food for him and had in our mind some substitutions if they were available from any of the food … Continue reading PKU and Camping at a Music Festival
Growing up
Keir has turned 4 earlier this year and he will be starting school in September. We have been busy trying to prepare for school. We met his school to discuss his condition and his PKU diet, and he had a preschool assesment at GOSH. I can't wait to choose his uniform with him, his first … Continue reading Growing up
PKU Meal Ideas for Schools, Restaurants, Family…
Although we have to heavily rely on the specialised low protein food to give Keir a well balanced diet, he can also enjoy some of the everyday foods freely. What I mean by everyday food is that the food you can purchase from supermarkets unlike low protein products which have to ordered through a prescription. When … Continue reading PKU Meal Ideas for Schools, Restaurants, Family…
PKU Low Protein Waffles
Waffles for breakfast! I announce. Keir says 'what?' 'Waffles, you will like them.' 'Huh?' he responds totaly puzzled. We picked up a sample pack of Taranis Low Protein Waffle mix at the NSPKU Conference and ever since have been searching for waffle plates to fit into our existing grill. Finally Keir's dad managed to order … Continue reading PKU Low Protein Waffles
