No Eggs Allowed

Day 2 of no eggs! When I took Noodle to the allergist on Thursday, he said as long as I was breastfeeding I should cut eggs out of my diet, unless I wanted to wean. Seeing as I will not be the weaning in this breastfeeding relationship, I am now off eggs.

Every weekend, the Daddyman, Noodle and I go for breakfast at this amazing little place. Daddyman and I have been going every weekend for the past 2 years or more. Each week we order the same thing (kinda sad I know), it's called the basic. It's just 2 eggs, pesto potatoes and toast,  and we get bacon on the side.  This weekend however, I could not get my beloved eggs! I ordered the tofu scramble, in my head I'm thinking, this is going to be disgusting but I will choke it down. My tofu came with cut up tomatoes and back bacon in it, and after adding a little salt..it wasn't bad! I felt the irony of the situation immensely as Daddyman and I giggled over my tofu scramble with bacon in it. Sorry to the vegans out there, but I can't give up meat! Especially not bacon...not after I have had to give up eggs.

Sadly, it is when you cannot have things, that those things become the only thing you can think about! We are also a milk free household, as the Daddyman and I can't have it. Since Noodle came along and had a reaction to milk I have not had one little bit, and ever since I have been craving a chocolate bar! I finally found something that comes close to my beloved bounty bar. It's by a company called Oskri, and it's $3 for what seems like 2 bites! So after devouring the half i cut for me and then the other half I cut for the Daddyman, I went and bought 2 more. And then after inhaling mine like it was the last one on earth, I thought I should find a recipe for "bounty bars", especially since it took more will power than I am willing to admit to not eat the other one.

Now, since I can no longer have eggs, all I can think about is tapioca pudding. I made it about a month ago without eggs, and it came out very soupy. It still tasted good, but the consistency really left something to be desired. I will have to keep trying though...the container of tapioca in the cupboard mocks me. I am never one to step down from a food challenge, and I firmly believe that even with allergies you can eat the same food everyone else does, with just slightly different ingredients.

The other thing I am craving is a quiche. Now it's not like we eat quiches all that often, I don't think I have had one in about 9 or 10 months. Not since the quiche dish magically lept from the counter when we were all out. Now this is a challenge I may have to concede. How on earth do you make a quiche without eggs? No wait, how on earth do you make a quiche taste good, without eggs? And if you can do that, how on earth will you make the Daddyman eat it?

Well, I have made it threw 2 days without one tiny little bit of eggs...how did I do this with milk?
