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.

Ice Lolly

A forced hand special treat! Moomin had an ice lolly for her pudding today (bribery and corruption) so Gremlin absolutely and totally rejected her kiwi. Nothing would pacify but her own lolly. Luckily, I had some fruity ones in the freezer (protein free) and let her at one. She completely ignored my protests about her hands and mouth getting cold, and refused to put it down. She watched her sister and was a complete natural!

Here she is warning me off it:



It's a serious business!

Whoop Whoop

Tonight we had the best tea we've had in ages.

She ate 22g rice (half an exchange), 25g peas (1 exchange) mixed in with some homemade vegetable curry (protein free). It looked huge and I thought she'd only eat half then I'd have to work out what she'd left and try and figure out what else I could find for her, but I needn't have worried. It was completely snaffled. Happily.

Whoop whoop indeed.
