Incredible Edible Gluten-free Food For Kids

Okay, I have to admit that I'm not big on cookbooks. I've never been able to follow a recipe in my life because they just don't use enough this or add enough that. Anyway, this cookbook is absolutely amazing!!! I'm ready to go out and buy all the gluten free cookbooks on the market. I made crustless quiche, banana bread, and snickerdoodles out of this book (while almost following recipes) and everything turned out AMAZING!!! My DH said he can't tell a difference at all with anything. Anyway, for those of you looking for an easy-to-follow cookbook, I would highly recommend this. It has a lot of kid-friendly recipes too, which is a big bonus for me since I have a two year old.

Ha... Well, technically I was talking about my two year old... But, YES... He's definitely "young at heart".

Guhlia, What kind of flours does the author use for the recipes? I am excited to hear about this book. I have never seen it at our bookstores here. Thanks for the info! Wow snickerdoodles... :D

This is the first cookbook I bought and I really like it. The sloppy joes, for example, are no harder to make than from a mix, except for dirtying a few measuring spoons, and everyone in my family said they were better than the mix. I make the banana bread about 2 or 3x a month. I get 3 or 4 mini loaves out of one recipe. Ty takes it every day for lunch at school. The potato salad dressing is also very good. Couldn't tell the difference from our old way at all.

I'm a big fan of this book.

I say it's mostly white/brown rice, potato/tapioca/corn starches, and the occasional garfava.

The sugar cookies earned rave reviews from sugar cookie eaters at Christmas. I neither bake nor eat them, but no one who ate them could tell the difference.

The snickerdoodles have potato, tapioca and rice.

Linda's right. It's mostly white rice, brown rice, potato starch, and tapioca flours. They also use xantham gum in almost everything. Honestly, though, the stuff in this book is WAY better than any other gluten free recipes that I've tried for breads/cookies. Enjoy!!!

I also LOVE this cookbook... I have made several things and made only slight modifications. We only have sorghum flour/tapioca/potato starch as our flour mix and everything I've made has turned out great. I currently have the book from the library, but I'm going to buy it!

I've made the fig bars (but left out the figs and spread it w/raspberry jam), the sugar cookies, the busy day cake and a few other things.

For those that aren't dairy intolerant, try adding cheddar cheese to the garlic biscuits. Mmmmmm... It tastes like the cheddar bay biscuits from Red Lobster. They are fantastic like this! They reheat exceptionally well too. :)

I actually don't like this very much, everything is not very healthy, and feels like it just sits in your stomach, i didn't find many recipies in it that i liked,

just my opinion, don't let it stop you from buying it!

I'm so glad to hear that someone else feels like gluten-free stuff "just sits in your stomach!" I liked all the gluten-free breads and cakes that I tried--but that's exactly how they felt afterwards! I actually feel better stomachwise if I just make things that wouldn't have called for gluten anyway (like Asian food). Even something with a little soy sauce (I use La Choy, but every now and then I slip up andeat something like seaweed salad that already has normal soy sauce in it) seems to have little or no effect on me, while gluten-free toast (even thought I really like it) feel like bricks an hour later, and my tummy gasses up and I look six months pregnant. Go figure. :blink:

However, for the occasional cookie, I might just buy this book anyway (snickerdoodles!!!! :)... )

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Sarah Grace,  Thank you for the update!  It's so good to hear from you!  I'm glad Thiamine, B Complex and magnesium have helped you.  Yes, it's important to take all three together.    I had to quit eating cheese and nuts a long time ago because they triggered migraines in me, too.  They are high in tyrosine, an amino acid, found also in fermented foods like sauerkraut and red wine.   I found taking Tryptophan very helpful with migraines.  Tryptophan is a precursor of serotonin and people with migraines are often low in serotonin.  (Don't take tryptophan if you're taking an SSRI.)     This recent study shows tryptophan really helps. The association between dietary tryptophan intake and migraine https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31254181/   For immediate respite from a migraine, try smiling REALLY BIG, mouth closed, tongue pressed against roof of mouth, and crinkle up your eyes like you just heard or saw the funniest thing...  This causes an endorphin release in the brain.  Usually it's the funny event, then the endorphin release and then the smile.  Smiling first makes the endorphin center think it missed something and it catches up quickly by releasing endorphins after the big crinkle eyed smile.  Must make crinkly eyes with smile or it won't work.  If you do this too frequently within a short time frame (several hours), you can deplete your endorphins, but you'll make more in a couple of hours, so no worries. Get your thyroid checked, too.  Migraines are also seen in low thyroid function (Hashimoto's or hypothyroidism).  Celiac and thyroid problems go hand in hand.   Vitamin D helps, too.  Low Vitamin D is found in migraine.   I'm so glad you're doing better.

      Its been a complete nightmare dealing with all these health issues one thing after another and being told many different things.I am looking for a new primary care physician considering when I told my past doctor of 25 years I was diagnosed before any foods eliminated from my diet and now this year at age 54 no longer able to push considering Im always exhausted, leg pain , stomach,skin and eye issues,high blood pressure to name a few all worsen because I was a  school bus driver and few years until my immune system went to hell and was fired because of it.Im still struggling now, Im sibo positive and been told im not celiac and that I am.I have a hernia and dealing with menopause. Its exhausting and is causing depression because of non medical help. Today I saw another gastrointestinalist and he said everything im feeling doesn't add up to celiac disease since my ITg levels are normal so celiac disease is under control and it's something else. I for got I had Barrett's esophagus diagnosed in 2007 because recent doctors down played it just like my celiac disease. Im currently looking for a pcp in my area because it is affecting me personally and professionally. Im told since celiac looks under control it's IBS and I need to see a therapist to control it. Gastrointestinalist around here think only food consumption and if ITG looks normal its bit celiac disease it's something else. Is this right? This is what im being told. I want medical help but told its IBS.Im feel lost by " medical team "

      My migraines generally have their onset during the early morning hours as well. Presently, I am under siege with them, having headaches all but two days so far this month. I have looked at all the things reported to be common triggers (foods, sleep patterns, weather patterns, stress, etc.). Every time I think I start to see a pattern it proves not to pan out in the long run. I'm not sure it's any one thing but may, instead, be a combination of things that coalesce at certain times. It's very frustrating. The medication (sumatriptan or "Imatrix") is effective and is the only thing that will quell the pain. NSAIDs, Tylenol, even hydrocodone doesn't touch it. But they only give you 9 does of sumatriptan a month. And it doesn't help that medical science doesn't really know what causes migraines. They know some things about it but the root cause is still a mystery.
