Episode 9: What CAN they eat? Simple Recipes for Special Diets

When your child is gluten-free, dairy-free, grain-free, egg-free—or navigating multiple food sensitivities—it can feel like there's nothing left to eat. In this practical follow-up to our gut healing discussion, Mara & Christina are joined by Christina's sister, who shares the real-life strategies that helped her nourish her family through years of dietary restrictions. Together, they discuss avoiding the "substitution trap," why whole foods are often the simplest solution, and how to build satisfying meals from the ground up. From nourishing roasts and stews to soups, quick meal ideas, snacks, bento box favorites, and even healthier treats (including a delicious cassava vanilla wafer recipe made with gelatin), this episode is packed with realistic ideas you can start using today. Whether you're just beginning a special diet journey or looking for fresh inspiration, you'll come away with practical meal ideas and renewed confidence that healing foods can also be enjoyable.
