What's For Supper? Nightshade Free Mexican Food

What's For Supper? Nightshade Free Mexican Meal

For some of us, this question isn't that hard. A quick review of the contents of the fridge or the kitchen pantry and we can come up with something good.

For people with nightshade allergies, the answer is not always as easily come by. My husband and I do not have a nightshade allergy, so we can eat pretty much whatever we can find.

However, my daughter does have a nightshade allergy. When she and her family come to visit, meal times have to be planned more carefully to make sure we don't accidentally poison her. Aside from the danger of serving her nightshades, trips to the emergency room really cut into the family time, so we are very careful not to make her sick by serving her something she shouldn't eat.

Cheesy Meatballs Recipe

The cheesy meatballs recipe is another I got from my mother-in-law.

It works well to use a slow cooker instead of the oven to finish it up, too.

To make in a crockpot or slow cooker, layer the meatballs and cheese sauce mixture, ending with a layer of cheese sauce on top. Cook on high 3-4 hours.
