Pirates Dinner Adventure~ Orlando Location

For my parents 35th wedding anniversary I got tickets for them and my kids and myself to Pirates Dinner Adventure. My mom had always wanted to go and since they are having a special for $18 dollar tickets for their 18 year anniversary. I made sure when I bought the tickets to find out about the food for my son. The meals can be special made in ways of Kosher, vegetarian, and GF. But when I asked about dairy allergies the tone quickly changed to maybe you should bring your toddler some food. The meal without upgrades consisted of Roasted chicken, butter steamed veggies, and a type of Mexican style rice. If you purchased an upgrade you could have a NY strip steak.

So in the way I saw it, my son was young enough that I was ale to have food readily available to him, but as he gets older it might be more difficult in that type of place.

Seasons 52 is a fresh grill and wine bar that lets you enjoy  a seasonally-inspired menu in a casually sophisticated ambiance. This means that their menu changes every season and bits and pieces every week are different specials. The restaurant has complied a list of safe foods to eat for the spring season for the non dairy community. You can find other list here. This is one of the few places I have found so far that actually has a good assortment of actual meals which is really great in my mind.

Unexpected Sources of Milk

Today I bring you more information from the FARE website. You can view more information about FARE here.

When we go shopping we now know that we have to read labels really carefully to keep ourselves and our LOs (Little One) safe from milk by products, milk itself, and possiblities of cross contamination.

But, what about those shopping list items that may not be as easy to spot? Here is a few things to keep in mind when you go to the grocery store.

• Deli meat slicers are frequently used for both meat and cheese products.
• Some brands of canned tuna fish contain casein, a milk protein.
• Many non-dairy products contain casein (a milk derivative), listed on the ingredient labels.
• Some specialty products made with milk substitutes (i.e., soy-, nut- or rice-based dairy products) are manufactured on equipment shared with milk.
• Some meats may contain casein as a binder. Check all labels carefully.
• Some medications contain milk protein.
• Shellfish is sometimes dipped in milk to reduce the fishy odor. Ask questions about the risk of milk contact when purchasing shellfish. 

 And you also need to make sure when you go out to eat, always make sure that you say NO BUTTER!

• Many restaurants put butter on steaks after they have been grilled to add extra flavor. The butter is not visible after it melts.

When we ate out for Easter, we had to make sure that they cooked my son's eggs dry. This is not their normal practice but once I told them that he was allergic they even cooked his eggs on the gulten free side of kitchen and away from all other milk products.
