We love lentils - yes, I did say lentils - all of us :) We eat them with Spätzle and Wieners, with Rice, with potatoes and pesto, as soup. I like to use dried green lentils but also keep a couple of cans in the pantry for quick meals.
Tonight was just such a day....just in case it looks good to you this is my creation
1 TB Olive Oil
1/2 Large onion chopped
1 leek sliced and washed
1 bunch of chard - washed, stems, and leaves separated. Chop stems and leaves - keep
separate.
6 small pototoes, peeled and cut in cubes
1 - 32oz pack of chicken broth
1 can lentils drained
3/4 lb. Little smoked sausage links
Splash of Balsamic Vinegar - to taste
Salt and Pepper
1. Heat Olive Oil - add onions and a pinch of Salt. Sautee until soft
2. Add leeks and sautee untl soft
3. Add chopped chard stems - and sautee for another minute or so, stiring often
4. Add potatoes And stir for another minute
5. Add broth, lentils, and sausage links
6. Simmer until potatoes are soft
7. Add salt, pepper, and Balsamico to taste.
I served it with crusty rustic bread.
Oh, and the best part was that both kids loved it :)))

My daughter has classic galactosemia, I read she can not have lentils since its a type of bean??
There are many controversial foods. Legumes - lentils - are excluded by many individuals with Classic Galactosemia. When we first introduced lentils, tomatoes, Emmenthaler, Parmesiano Regiano, etc. we had their GALT levels tested after These foods were consumed. For our girls these foods did not change their normal GALT range.
Our children therefore eat ALL foods with the exception of foods containing milk sugar in any form.
How did you approach feeding your children with galactosemia when they were babies.I know almost everything has galactose.my doctor gave me a packet with guidelines to feeding.I would like advice from someone who has dealt with it first hand. Right now its very frustrating and worry some.
Hi there - both kids were started on cereal mixed with Isomil. - Did you rev the "Understanding Galactosemia - A Diet Guide" THIRD 2010 Edition? It is very well put together. Pages 34 - 44 gives information about acceptable and unacceptable baby foods. We fed Earth's Best to both girls, but I also made some foods. Your dietitian should be a good resource to you. In any case, pls feel free to email me at germanpdx at gmail.com
