Rice Cakes with Mapled-Cashew Butter

A few years ago, our son was struggling with eczema.Â We began to research ways to treat eczema in an effort to avoid having to put him on medication regularly.Â As we began to learn about food sensitivities, we suspected that the eczema was being aggravated by certain foods in his diet and that some symptoms we were experiencing were being caused by them.Â So we decided to complete the elimination diet as a family.Â

This recipe was created during the strictest phase of the elimination diet when the types of foods we could eat were extremely limited.Â It makes a great snack.Â The Lucky Wife prefers it without the maple syrup and with some fruit, and she eats it regularly for a bedtime snack.

For more information about our experience with the elimination diet, please visit our About Us page.
