A spoon in creamy mashed yams

Baby NK can’t eat eggs. 

I know this for a fact but I got further confirmation this past Wednesday, which was his birthday.  I gave him a lunch of boiled eggs to go with the customary mashed yam (etor) used to celebrate birthdays. 

He tooore the yam and palmoil mash up. I could have added tuna or sardines but I said let’s take a ride on the wild side and try some of the eggs. He ate maybe a third of the boiled white of the eggs.

But Thursday he had the beginnings of allergic eczema flare up on his face, his elbows and his belly. Sigh.

Funny enough i actually made him a breakfast that was totally eggless and yummy. 

For Breakfast I made Crepes. These were the lightest “crepiest” egg free crepes ever. Normally I make egg free pancakes, I use bananas, however I just wanted a simple non banana pancake since I wanted to bake a banana bread.
