Mac N Cheese....it's what's for dinner!

So the other night I made WAY too much pasta....like WAY too much.  So after looking at it in the fridge for a couple of days, I decided to try adding Velveeta spread to it to make mac n cheese.  We've tried Kraft mac n cheese for Matthew previously without any success but wondered what the non-powdered kind might do.

To our amazement, he didn't seem to have any type of reaction!!!  No rash...nothing.  And man...was it tasty.

I'd be interested to find what others have experienced with this kind of "experiment" (obviously be smart about it...our son's milk allergy isn't as dangerously high as it once was).

Not gonna lie....

I'm not going to lie.  We went out to dinner last week and this was the first time I ordered a meal for our youngest son (he normally would just share with one of us or we would bring his own).  We've been thoroughly testing everything under the sun and from what I can tell, he doesn't seem to have any serious reactions.  I do think he has some type of allergy either to dairy or wheat (thinking more with the wheat), but again nothing crazy like with Matthew.

So we not only ordered REGULAR milk for him (which he loved practicing drinking out of the straw), but also mac n cheese.  Yes....regular mac n cheese! 

Is THIS what we have been missing all of these years??  You just order a meal, it gets brought to your table, they eat it, you go home and that's it??  No need to think super far ahead, pre-cook a meal in order to eat out, heat it up and put it in a special thermos so it stays warm, pack up rice milk to drink and some bread since the bread basket is also off limits?? 

Wow....it was AWESOME!!!!  And now Matthew is able to eat a few more items off of the menus so it's really been more of a treat to go out and eat (yes, even with two in tow).
