When Bryan was first diagnosed with his food allergies, we decided that it would be best to eliminate peanuts from our household. (We considered eliminating eggs and milk as well, but ended up not doing so. More thoughts on that in a later post...) In general, it hasn't been that difficult. While my husband and I like peanut butter, but it's not one of our must-have foods. In general, I certainly don't feel like I am missing out on anything- except at this time of the year. The one thing that I do miss are Reese's peanut butter eggs. (I don't care about the peanut butter cups- for some reason, it's just the eggs that I crave.) And I kind of feel guilty about wanting them, even if I'm not going to actually buy or eat them- like I'm somehow being disloyal to Bryan. Are there any other parents out there who feel the same way?
Anyway, while I have to do without the peanut butter eggs, I decided to try to make a different Easter treat for Bryan. I actually found a recipe for milk-and-egg-free "Cadbury" creme eggs. (That's right- I made egg-free eggs.) To be honest, I'm not sure if Bryan will actually eat them (although they ARE pure sugar- how can he not like them?). But at least I can say that I actually made them!
