Start by sautéing onion and garlic, and then pop some chicken in the pot along with some dry herbs and fresh lemon.

My daughter M was allergic to milk. Which means cow’s milk. That’s one of many things I quickly learned when she was diagnosed. It’s sort-of a whirlwind of figuring out what to do and where to go and how to cope. It can be a bit intimidating and overwhelming, particularly because it’s so serious. You immediately have to pay very close attention to every single thing your child eats or is offered to eat....

Overall, they are both excellent eaters in their own right, but having a veggie-crazy mama means I’m always looking for ways to get them to eat more....
