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.

Dining on the go

Another trick...

Daddymin unexpectedly arrived home early so I had extra hands around at teatime. Because I didn't have Gremlin hanging off my leg screaming at me I was able to make up her gel and weigh out her protein providing food (sometimes still a jar- tonight Tuna Pasta thingy by Cow and Gate- her favourite) whilst I cooked dinner for everyone else. I managed to spoon in the gel and pasta whilst she played in the kitchen. Then we all sat down to eat a similar dinner. She had PKU "Lamb and Mint" Burger Mix in 3 mini burger shapes, broccoli, carrots and the remainder of the homemade vegetable curry from yesterday. She really, really enjoyed eating almost the same and particularly enjoyed swapping carrots (protein free) from Daddymin's plate.

p.s She is also a raver. The alarm on my phone (the anti-mummy brain that forgets EVERYTHING) went off during breakfast yesterday to remind me about Moomin's new swimming lesson time. For some unknown reason it is set to 'Insomnia' by Faithless. We had one of the happiest breakfasts we've had for ages whilst Gremlin boogied away to it!
