"Going gluten and dairy free doesn't mean you have to give up on taste." "When we're building a plate, we want to start with those foundations. Start with protein." "The more vegetables, the better." "As you are transitioning through a gluten free, dairy free diet, those dark, leafy greens are loaded with calcium." "Healthy fats are critical for the growth and development of our compromised kids." "You want to make sure you are drinking at least 6 cups of water a day and if you want to aim high, half their body weight up to their full body weight in ounces." "If they're not drinking enough, play a game."
