I know the thought of upcoming parties is tough with our kids limited diets… so I thought you might be interested in some of the party food I created for our sons birthday party. All the food was GAPS (stage 6) friendly. The food was a hit with all people big and small. One little boy came and asked for his 4th ‘cupcake’!!! No one even knew the food was \u2018good\u2019 for them… one mum was avoiding the food cos she thought it was too sugary for her kid \u2013 once I told her what was in it, she kept coming back for more, and the kid loved it.<\/p>\n

The menu:<\/h4>\n
Muffin stand instead of birthday cake. Purchased coloured muffin cups and a fancy cake\/muffin stand to put them all on. Did a variety of GAPS muffins:<\/div>\n
    \n
  • Coconut berry muffins decorated with frosting and strawberries<\/li>\n
  • Coconut banana and raisin muffins decorated with frosting and fruit leather shapes<\/li>\n
  • Could also have done blueberry or pumpkin<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
    Tahini and raisin biscuits decorated with frosting and dehydrated kiwifruit<\/div>\n
    ‘Fairy Bread\u2019 – coconut bread, cut into shapes with cookie cutter, then frosted and dipped in dehydrated crushed raspberries and kiwifruits<\/div>\n
    Fresh fruit platters<\/div>\n
    Homemade lemonade sweetened with honey and topped with Soda water for some fizz<\/div>\n
    Homemade ‘pink’ iced tea (rosehip & raspberry) sweetened with honey<\/div>\n

    Goodie bags:<\/h4>\n
    Instead of Goodie Bags packed with lollies and other crap, I got a bunch of helium balloons, ($3 each) which made great decoration – and handed each one to the kids as they left. They thought that was pretty cool too – and much cheaper than a bunch of $2-shop junk in a bag.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
