GLUTEN AND DAIRY FREE PIZZA....I"M SCARED!!!

Yes Devri and i made some pizza together.
But before i touch on that i have to talk about her eating. As i mentioned before this kid EATS NOTHING!!! I've tried it all over the years; sneaking it in, bribing her and pinning her down. To NO PREVAIL i've almost always been defeated by the temper-tantrums that would follow and embarrassingly i've just about given up.
Then the other day she was hanging out in back of the Expedition while Kyle and i were doing yard work and i thought i'd try and give her a nectarine, which she calls "peach, yummy?". And SHE ATE IT!?!? I don't know how i could exaggerate it any more then i already have, this IS A MIRACLE! So, of course i kept it going, trying new things over the past 4 day. I'm not going to lie...i have been bribing e.g. Bacon for a bite of a cupcake, yeah you read that right. But i don't even care, i consider this a huge feat! For her having so many sensory issues the fact that she would even touch food she doesn't eat is just as big of a deal. I digress, over the past 4 days this kid has eaten 8 new foods!!!!
  • Nectarine
  • kiwi
  • blueberries
  • lunch meat
  • string bean
  • a BOWL of roasted potatoes
  • Bacon
  • and Pizza crust
Compared to the past 2+ years of eating only....
  • Trader Joe's tacos
  • Chicken nuggets
  • Trader Joe's waffles
  • Hot dogs
  • Banana
  • Strawberries
  • and desserts e.g. cookies, pretzels......
After Devri got off the buss i continued my bribing then asked her if she wanted to make some pizza's and she said yes. Again, she was very motivated by helping me and did a fantastic job.
We made two bacon, tomato, spinach, artichoke dip, and goat cheese (on mine) pizza's. The Crust was Bob's Red Mill Gluten free Pizza dough with Energy Egg Re-placer. It turned out pretty good!!
