About Me

Hertfordshire, UK
I am a very lucky Mum to two beautiful daughters, known here as Moomin and Gremlin. My second gorgeous girl, Gremlin (above), has PKU (Phenylketonuria) and has introduced us to a whole new world! This blog is intended to record our journey with regards it, particularly focusing on food and eating.

Breaking the rules

This weekend we've been away to a wonderful wedding in the New Forest. We take with us the one protein food that Gremlin has enjoyed and it works. She loves Pasta Bolognese and it is snaffled with no fuss. Unfortunately the pretty little dress she is wearing for the wedding does not survive, but she eats the meal and no alternatives are needed. This isn't so bad.....

Today though, we're back to square one. First offering - Lovely Lentil something or other from Ella's kitchen- declined. Second - Hipp Organic Creamy Parsnip, Potato and something else- tasted and considered for 2 mouthfuls but then declined. Third- strange looking blue Heinz tin thingy of Tomato, Beans and Bacon - accepted with gusto. Gremlin and I are breaking all the rules: she does not like home cooking and prefers the cheaper and 'less natural' brands of jar/pouch/tin while I will offer her lots of different foods until something is properly eaten. Between us I hope we are getting there though.
