After finding my little one’s new food sensitivity list, I need to decide how to approach it. How should I cook? What should I cook? Do I need to revisit some product labels I use at home? What dishes can I cook? Can I still cook my dishes? How to tackle Char’s new food sensitivity? How to tackle Char’s new food sensitivity

Ready Made Items
I cannot rely on products from a jar or packet. Most of the time, the pre-mix items have either garlic, onion, or and sometimes two of the items. Now, my little one cannot have them. Some items on Char’s food sensitivity does not affect my cooking style since I hardly ever cook with them. However, I find it extremely difficult not including tomato or onion into my cooking. Tomato, I can use it to hide vegetable into time dish. And children love pizza and spaghetti. This is very challenging.
Home made meal
What I need to do is to prepare everything myself. No lazy days. Can’t rely on pre-mix sauce or frozen meals. I have to prepare ahead of time land be a better planner or be more organizer. I can spend some time to prepare homemade freezer meals. Maybe, I should focus more on freezer crockpot meals.
Alternative to prepare meals
Another approach, I believe is to apply a homemade rub on the chicken or meat. Then, add vegetable and other items to the dish.
Chicken Rub
Ingredients:
5 chicken thighs
