How Do You like YOUR Chili?

Caleb (3) has some allergies--milk, peanuts, and tree nuts. But he's so laid back and easy-going, they really don't seem to bother him at all. We do have to think of creative substitutions sometimes, though. Today for lunch, we had chili. Everyone else had cheese and sour cream on theirs. Caleb's condiment of choice is Thousand Island dressing. Apparently it adds just the right amount of "zip", because he always gobbles up chili with that on it! He puts it on tacos too. He uses plain mayonnaise for dip, to substitute for french onion dip. For casseroles, I always leave out some chicken, rice, etc. and blend it all together for him with . . . yes! Thousand Island dressing AND mayonnaise! LOL! His future wife is going to wonder about his crazy tastes! Maybe by then he will have completely outgrown these allergies.
