It's Friday and Keir was asking for Pizza for dinner. I was feeling a bit adventurous and thought I would try to make a really cheesy pizza for my little man. Keir was pretty excited to help. I mixed little bit of mayonnaise into grated low protein cheese (violife) and chopped spring onion as. The … Continue reading Low Protein Cheesy Pizza

Low Protein Chinese Dumplings
We made steamed Chinese dumplings for the bonfire night. I made up low protein ones for Keir as he was getting very excited about ours being cooked in the bamboo steamer. How could we leave him out of the fun! So I improvised the recipe and made it PKU friendly. We served sweet and chilli … Continue reading Low Protein Chinese Dumplings
PKU Bread by hand
I have tested two pku bread recipes today. One using Fate All Purpose Flour and other using Loprofin Mix. I normally make Keir's sandwich bread using the breadmaker. Two reasons for this; firstly, it hardly creates any mess in the kitchen and secondly it is very quick. It is the most hassle free way to … Continue reading PKU Bread by hand
PKU Onion Bhaji and Naan bread
We decided to have a warming curry tonight as it is feeling a bit chilly. For Keir we had some frozen vegi curry, but decided to make some bhaji's and naan bread to go along with it. We used Eileen Green's recipes from her Fate cookbook using Fate all purpose flour. The recipes were really … Continue reading PKU Onion Bhaji and Naan bread
Birthday Suprise
Keir will be three on Tuesday (28th). We received a nice surprise from Nutricia in the post this week; a parcel with Keir's name on it. Inside there was a birthday card, a recipe for a birthday cake and a packet of Loprofin Mix. What a lovely gesture! Thank you Nutricia for thinking of us! … Continue reading Birthday Suprise
PKU Blood Tests
Today I thought I would organise a box of things we need for taking Keir's weekly blood test . It has been stored in an old shoe box which has started to fall apart. We used to take blood from Keir once every other day and then when he was around 6 months old we have … Continue reading PKU Blood Tests
Low Protein Chinese Rice
This is a quick and tasty lunch idea I put together to use up leftover Loprofin Rice. I stir-fried some vegetables; onion, baby sweetcorn, carrot, courgette and peppers. Then added the cooked Loprofin rice and a teaspoon of soya sauce, a teaspoon of hoisin sauce, and a teaspoon of water. Brought it all to boil … Continue reading Low Protein Chinese Rice
Butternut Loaf
I made a butternut loaf today for Keir that we are going to serve as part of his Christmas dinner. We will be serving it with roasted celeriac, roasted vegetables and little bit of gravy. It is a very tasty loaf with a nutty and light texture. The loaf is made using Nutricia Loprofin mix. … Continue reading Butternut Loaf
Christmas Dinner Idea
I wanted to try out an idea for Christmas dinner to see if it would work. I thought that a roasted Celeriac with bread sauce might be a nice alternative to turkey that my little pkuer could have. It worked out really well and my wife and I agreed that it was actually a nice … Continue reading Christmas Dinner Idea
PKU Christmas Party
It was Christmas Party time at Great Ormond Street Hospital on Saturday. We started early in the morning, after a long motorway drive and a 45 min tube ride (mostly standing whilst holding a wriggly 2 year old and a very tired, teary 6 year old) we arrived at the main hospital. We made the full … Continue reading PKU Christmas Party
