Recipes from our Kitchen, Tales from Richmond
The kids did okay with these yesterday:
Spread 1 tsp mayo on wrap. Cover with a leaf or two of lettuce.
Chop up egg, and spread on top.
Add salt & pepper as desired. Roll & eat.
I love ‘em. The kids think that the inside is good. And maybe one daughter like lettuce. But they all like grapes for dessert. 
Since no one came up with ideas for me on light food that kids will eat. I suppose I have to do my homework. Here’s some options that I came up with for this week on the lighter, oven-free, side of things.

Sandwiches
This is a bit tricky without yummy bread. If anyone really has a sandwich-ready gluten free loaf recipe, I’m ALL ears! Of course, I’m using my breadmaker ONLY in this weather!
On rice cakes, we use:
On rice wraps, we use:
However, my kids like neither the rice cakes or rice wraps. 
Some days it is tough, but we usually abide by:
Mommy picks what you eat, and when you eat.
Child picks if they eat, and how much they eat.
At least, that is the philosophy. 
For Salads we try:
So I did the brown rice wraps with tuna salad last night for dinner. These are the wraps that I found in the freezer aisle of our local grocery store. There are 6 in the package. And I think it was around $4. So they are not the cheapest things, but they are so GOOD! They are incredible, in my opinion. They taste exactly like flour wraps. I tried to use the corn wraps but they taste very different. And we are just not used to them. Didn’t like them at all.
to heat in microwave: wrap in wet papertowels and heat for a few seconds each. It worked like a charm, although it didn’t even need warming to be soft & perfect!
- today for lunch I stuffed with lettuce, tuna salad, and pickles – yum!
