OP here. Yes, she is allergic to all meat. We realize its rare but after having her hospitalized after eating beef, we aren't really wanting to try venison and other not so common meats.

beef =/= all meat. chicken? pork? fish? shellfish?

I make mini-muffins with my DD, maybe this would work? This basic template makes 12 mini muffins, so I would make them at least 2 times a week and mix things up.

1/2 cup white or whole wheat flour, or a mix of the 2
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 - 4 tablespoons sugar (depending on how sweet you want it, 4 tb is more like a dessert type muffin)
2 tablespoons oil
2 tablespoons milk or yogurt (I would try substituting 2 tb of oil since you need dairy free, but if that tastes too "oily" then just use soy or other milk next time)
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
approx 1/3 cup of anything you have handy in the house that tastes good in muffins: mashed banana, peanut butter, applesauce, blueberries, strawberries (cut up small) etc etc.
Optional: 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, or a pinch of nutmeg if you are using blueberries, applesauce or bananas. also mini chocolate chips if you are using peanut butter or bananas. you can even make peanut butter banana chocolate chip muffins too.

I usually put the wet ingredients in the bowl first and whisk that together and then add the dry ones so I only need to use 1 bowl, and when my DD was 2, I would just pull up a chair to the counter and have her help me do everything. Bake at 350 (preheat oven first) for 10-12 minutes. Make sure to grease the muffin tins, I would just use a spray like Pam.

For a sweet treat:

She LOVES fruits and most veggies. She will eat nuts and rice easily. I make a lot of beans and lentils for protein. She also has coconut or almond yogurt a few times a week for snack.

Have you tried adding coconut oil to her food? For a while, I cooked all my DD's food in a lot of coconut oil. She loved it and it was great fat for her.

If she'll eat nut butter sandwiches, I would try Coconut butter. I just found it at Yes! and it's a great source of healthy fats/calories.

Does she like finger foods? If so, you can make quesadillas with daiya cheese and spread on a layer of avocado.

PP here, sorry nix the avocado. I just re-read your post.

My toddler is allergic to dairy, egg, and peanuts. It is so frustrating! I soak everything he eats in Olive Oil. Earth's Best has waffles and they are dairy/egg free. Also, Cherrybrook Kitchen as a box of pancake mix. I would recommend the "Food Allergy Mama" cookbooks (She has a baked goods one that is amazing and she just came out with a meal version). I use rice milk in lieu of soy milk. We use Rice Cheese for grilled cheese. Good luck! I know it is tough!

Thank you for the resources!

What happens when she eats meat? She's allergic to pork, beef, lamb, poultry and seafood??

In any case, seconding tahini and olive oil. You can puree some veggies with it, to get some of those nutrients. She can eat it as is, or on bread/toast.

- Yams roasted with honey and pecans
- Look up some vegan muffin recipes ... with lots of chopped dried fruit you can make them pretty high calorie
- Granola with coconut based yogurt
- Use coconut milk
- Make hummus with lots of tahini and olive oil

- Google high calorie vegan recipes

She is allergic to ALL meat? Really?

My 24 month old has fallen off the weight curve she was on (5th percentile). She has allergies to meat, dairy and possibly soy. I'm on a mission to get this girl some much needed calories. I have tried French toast but she doesn't like the taste of eggs. I give her nuts every single day (or nut butters). She also throws up avocado.

Could you share some high calorie foods and recipes? I would like to bake bread for her since I can add fat and limit preservatives but need some recipes. Thanks!
