Better than fries

Commercial fries are out. They are treated with MSG and sugar is added.
Kids, we know, love fries. Here is a healthy and tasty replacer:

Quick and tasty coconut “spuds” (potatoes)

Ingredients:

1 large baking potato per person (preferably organic)

1 clove garlic per person (preferably organic)

1 dessertspoon of organic virgin coconut oil per person

Preheat oven to 395F/200° C. Melt the coconut oil in the oven in a large
baking dish. Peel and thickly slice the potatoes and the garlic and place them
in the dish, making sure they are well covered with the melted coconut oil.
Sprinkle to taste with organic sea salt. Check them after 20 minutes and
turn. Cook for a 20 minutes more, or until crunchy (and very yummy!)

You can also make fries with sweet potato (Spanish batata); just cut them
into penny slices and fry lightly till golden brown. You can make a sweet
potato jacket by baking it, slitting it open, drizzling coconut oil inside and
dusting with powdered cinnamon or ground nutmeg.

Challenge testing for childen

Children are surprisingly tolerant of diet testing. Their natural curiosity
helps them participate in the investigations.
The same holds true for challenge testing. A child who has suffered
unpleasant symptoms as a result of eating a food will usually not crave it
any further, so challenge tests can be very helpful. Nobody likes to feel ill
or different and once the child understands where the problem is coming
from, he or she will be extremely co-operative in ongoing exclusions. How
unlike many adults who do not behave intelligently, even when compelling
evidence of incompatible foods and the damage they cause is staring them
in the face.
