Soy Free for Me!

So since my son has food allergies and my all encompassing refusal to spend extra money on formula when I am producing food for free has taken over, my diet has to be soy free. Which is difficult because soy is in everything. Eating out is limited if not out of the question and usually exhausting. Most things I have to make from scratch or do without. Though there is debate whether soybean oil is considered an allergen, I don't want to risk it when my child poops blood as a result. So here are a compilation of helpful resources I have compiled:

This is the recipe I use for mayonnaise. Now this would be filed under an epic Pinterest failure, but I figured out I've been adding too much lemon, which stops it from thickening. I plan to make another batch with ever so wee amounts of lemon and report back.

This is a breakfast casserole recipe I found. I use it in place of granola bars and it is delicious! I leave out the chocolate chips, but now that I found soy free chocolate, we may be in business!

Since instant oatmeal has soy in it, it's pretty exciting to find a way to have oatmeal that's not boring! It is, however, far from instant. I usually make a big batch and eat it throughout the week.
