So What's up with Soy Lecithin?

So I am finally beginning to explore the possibility of soy lecithin with my younger daughter who has a soy sensitivity.  Here is some good information on what it is and why it is used in certain products.

I have tried certain products so far to try with my daughter.  The first is Whoppers...yes the chocolate balls.  They have soy lecithin.  I gave her one and then, set the timer.  She was fine so she is now all out enjoying whoppers :).

The second thing is Oreos.  I found this article from Nabisco, which helped me brave it and try.  All was good.

Each person will be different because there are some soy sensitive/allergic people that may react to soy lecithin, but i hope, like my little one, you are able to tolerate it.

Delicious and Easy Tilapia Recipe (Soy, Dairy, Egg, Nut, and Gluten Free)

This is a recipe I usually cook for dinner every couple weeks.  Both my girls love it.  I'll usually serve it with a side of rice, steamed veggie, and a side of some dry seaweed.  I buy the tilapia from Costco where you can get a large package of tilapia.  Then I put them in freezer ziplock bags..about 3 filets per bag is plenty to feed both me and the girls with leftovers for lunch the next day :).  The following recipe works for about 3 filets of the tilapia.


Ingredients:

1 lb tilapia
salt
cornstarch
************************
Sauce:

2 Tbsp low sodium soy sauce/soy sauce substitute
2 Tbsp Brown Sugar
1 Tbsp Rice Wine
1 crushed garlic clove
1/8 tsp pepper
1 tsp oyster sauce
2 Tbsp water
************************

Half of a Red bell pepper or 3" geen onion slices(I prefer red bell pepper)
1 slice ginger
Instructions:
1.  Wash and Cut tilapia filets in half. Pat dry with paper towel.  Then lightly coat fish fillets with salt and let the fillets sit for at least 5 minutes.  You don't need a lot of salt.

2.  Go ahead and mix the sauce ingredients.

3.  Cut the half red bell pepper/green onion into slices.  Make sure to clean and
deseed.  Cut one slice of ginger.

4.  Coat the filets with cornstarch.  You do t need a lot of cornstarch.

5.  On a pan, heat some canola oil.  Cook the coated fillets back and
front.

6.  Put the cooked fillets on a plate.  Heat a little more oil in the pan. 
Throw the red bell pepper slices/green onion and ginger slice into the pan.  Just toss
it around for a few seconds or so.  Then put the cooked fillets into the
same pan.

7.  Pour the marinade sauce into the pan.  Bring the sauce to a boil.  Then
put the heat to low for a few minutes.

That's it!!
