I'm trying to decide what to make for Christmas. I tend not to make a lot because, to be quite honest, I eat it - way too much of it.  I do want to make  afew fun foods for my boys this year. We are gluten-free, nut-free, and dairy-free.  I use coconut milks and earth's balance in lieu of dairy so I can make substitutions if you have a good idea.

 

All I have planned so far are brownies, cinnamon buns ( from Notme! Open Original Shared Linkand some loaves (banana and pumpkin).  My mom is doing gingerbread with my boys (bless her).  Fun cookies or squares that kids would like is what I mostly want.

 

Thanks  :)

Are you peanut free or just tree nut free? I have an easy yummy recipe for a peanut butter pie.

Hubs threw together some gluten-free stuff early one and it ended up being really good.  I don't know what to call it, Chex Balls???

 

  • 3 cups Rice Chex Cereal
    3 cups Chocolate Chex Cereal
    1 cup Creamy Peanut Butter--Optional
    1 cup Light Corn Syrup
    1 cup Granulated Sugar

 

 

Combine the the corn syrup and sugar until it lightly boils. Add peanut butter until smooth. Mix in cereals until coated completely. Form into balls and place on wax paper to cool. No need to frost because the chocolate Chex gives you the chocolate taste. Enjoy!

 

The above amounts are approximate and easy to divide or multiply as needed.  They are really good warm :D  You could add some peppermint something to these too probably in lieu of the peanut butter for a minty taste.

When you say dairy free does that include butter? If you're OK with butter, I just made a delicious toffee that my family could not get enough of.

Have you done any merange cookies with choc chips? You can use food coloring to make them green or sugar sprinkles on the top to make them red or green, etc. I can get you a recipe we use tomorrow if you want? My BIl makes them with crushed candy canes instead of chocolate chips. Yum!

What are you in the mood for? We are D, E, PN, TN and gluten free. I have recipes for just about everything!  

 

The easiest and biggest hit with my kids is Monkey Munch which is Chex Muddy Buddies but with Sunbutter and Enjoy Life chocolate chips!  Yum!

Flourless chocolate cookies
 
 
Mix 2 cups powdered sugar, 1/2 cup cocoa, 2 tsp. cornstarch, 1/4 tsp. salt, 2 egg whites (not beaten). 
Should be thick enough to form balls; if not, add more sugar. Should be sticky and form a imperfect ball. 
Stir in 1 cup nuts (unsalted peanuts, pecans, or walnuts.) Form into 15 balls, place on parchment paper, and bake 16-19 minutes in a 300 oven until crackly and shiny. Cool completely. . They have a sort of crisp-meringue outside, and a soft, chewy inside, 
 
Instead of nuts, you could use Enjoy Life Chocolate chips or some other type of chips or chunks of candy cane (probably melt a bit)

These are really yummy.  I used butter but I bet you could use margarine.  Use water for the glaze & maybe a teeny amount of vanilla or cinnamon.

Instructions
  1. Pre-heat oven to 350.
  2. In a food processor combine all ingredients.
  3. Scoop into muffin tin make sure to use liners or you will never get them out, personal experience! You can also use silicone molds they work great. The batter will be VERY sticky you might want to wet the spoon to make is easier.
  4. I topped mine with cocao nibs to add a bit of zip.
  5. Place muffin pan in the oven and bake for about 15 minutes.
  6. Wait until these are completely cooled before removing from the pan.
Ingredients
  1. 1 cup creamy almond butter (or nut butter of your choice)
  2. 2 very ripe bananas
  3. 1/4 cup maple syrup
  4. 1/3 cup cocao powder
  5. Optional cocao nibs
  6. Peanut butter, optional
  7. Agave syrup drizzled on top, optional
  8. Shredded coconut on top, optional

My sister made these and they are pretty good.  They didn't rise a lot, so maybe a teaspoon of baking powder would help that.

Do rice krispie treats or use the recipe on the back of the enjoy life chocolate chips for chocolate chip cookies. I also think godairyfree.com has good recipes that can be changed according to diet.  I made the fruit filled oat squares and they were good.  They were a bit crumbly but tasted similar to pop tarts. I substituted one of the starches for sorghum flour.  Hope this helps.

All really good ideas, guys!  Thank you!  I'm going to get my kids to look at this with me tomorrow morning and we'll pick out a few to make.

 

Mmmm, I'm getting hungry reading these recipes.  :)

      Gluten Sensitivity

      By The Logician · Posted

      To Trent’s, yes, from what i’ve read it is not uncommon for digestive systems to become less tolerant to gluten over time. Many types of sensitivity or allergies arise in older people who never had a problem. I don’t see why you are focusing on anything but the fact that after years of my sensitivity to gluten, for whatever reason , it has disappeared after a bout of antibiotics. What i’ve read is antibiotics can make gluten sensitivity worse. In any event, in my case, if I can still eat all the wheat products I want with no reaction after a month or more since my hospital stay this is something that should be investigated. Time will tell.

      I had a UTI, blood cultures are standard to insure that the infection does not get in the bloodstream which can lead to sepsis and death. In my case there was bacteria in my blood which necessitated 48 hours of antibiotic IV

      Finally got in to doctor to get my referral and I lucked out and got into Gastro the same day - question about different transglutaminase results

      Hi Cameo674. just read your post. Well wishes to a correct diagnosis so that you can get on track to healing and feeling better. Personally I know it’s good to have the eosinophilic disorder ruled out too, as this can show anti-ttg igA antibodies too. But usually without the anti-gliadin antibodies unless gliadin is an allergen for you. Thanks for posting the link to look up SNPs rs… numbers on another post. Was useful. Looking at your result, ”Celiac Associated HLD-DQ Typing: DQA1* Value: 05; DQA1*DQA11 Value: 05; DQB1* Value: 02; DQB1-DQB11 Value: 02; Celiac Gene Pairs Present Value: Yes; Celiac HLA Interpretation Value: These genes are permissive for celiac disease.  However, these genes can also be present in the normal population. Testing performed by SSOP.  So google failed me.  I think these results basically say I have genes, but everybody has these genes so this test was just to confirm that there is a vague possibility?  Maybe this test result explains why I do not have the horrible symptoms most individuals with celiac have?  I told the GI my assumption is that I am just gluten intolerant since I do not have the pain? So maybe this test explains why I have antibodies?” To me it reads.that you carry the high risk HLADQ2.5 haplotype.

      Hello. Do you mind saying what symptoms led the doctors to test for bacteria in your blood?

      So you you ate wheat products every single day for 50 years without a problem but then in the 90's you discovered that wheat was your problem. That's confusing to me. It seems contradictory. Did you have a problem or not?
