Eli's birthday and Two special treats!

The first of two birthday parties for Eli was yesterday and I made a few special treats just for him!
The first is an Eli friendly mini-pizza.  There was only one pizza sauce at the store without soy in it, so I bought that.  I used a corn tortilla for the crust, topped with sauce, lunch meat, and then his Diaya dairy free, soy free and gluten free cheese product that I've had in the freezer for over a year (I bought it at Jungle Jim's in Cinci on one visit with my sisters and haven't gotten around to using it).  That cheese stuff tastes funny, I can't lie.  But Eli doesn't know and loved it and loved saying he was eating pizza (usually he has salad bar at the pizza place while we eat pizza)  Here's some pictures.

The next treat for Eli was ice cream sandwiches for his birthday!
I used Rice Dream ice cream, which does have Soy Lecithin which the allergist has said is okay, but we generally avoid.  We tried it anyways.  It has a little better texture than the Tempt Hemp milk ice cream we've tried before.  We sandwiched this between two enjoy life snickerdoodle cookies and tahdah!

 Here's the finished sandwiches:
