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!!!! :)... )

      Cristiana, that sounds like a great approach and I will be looking forward to the results. I am in the same boat as you.

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      I've been reflecting on this further. The lowest TTG I've ever managed was 4.5 (normal lab reading under 10). Since then it has gone up to 10. I am not happy with that. I can only explain this by the fact that I am eating out more these days and that's where I'm being 'glutened', but such small amounts that I only occasionally react. I...

      Low iron and vitamin d

      Hi, I posted before about my son's legs shaking after gluten. I did end up starting him on vit b and happily he actually started sleeping better and longer. Back to my 4 year old. She had gone back to meltdowns, early wakes, and exhaustion. We tested everything again and her ferritin was lowish again (16) and vit d was low. After a couple weeks...

      Cristiana, that sounds like a great approach and I will be looking forward to the results. I am in the same boat as you. I don't experience overt symptoms with minor, cross contamination level exposures so I sometimes will indulge in those "processed on equipment that also processes wheat . . ." or items that don't specifically claim to be gluten free but do not list gluten containing grains in their ingredient list. But I always wonder if I am still experiencing sub acute inflammatory reactions. I haven't had any celiac antibody blood work done since my diagnosis almost 25 years ago so I don't really have any data to go by.

I know some of it is also to do with eating products labelled 'may contain gluten' by mistake - which in the UK means it probably does! It stands to reason that as I am a coeliac any trace of gluten will cause a response in the gut.  My villi are healed and look healthy, but those lymphocytes are present because of the occasional trace amounts of gluten sneaking into my diet.   I am going to try not to eat out now until my next blood test in the autumn and read labels properly to avoid the may contain gluten products, and will then report back to see if it has helped!

      Low iron and vitamin d

      Hi, I posted before about my son's legs shaking after gluten. I did end up starting him on vit b and happily he actually started sleeping better and longer.  Back to my 4 year old. She had gone back to meltdowns, early wakes, and exhaustion. We tested everything again and her ferritin was lowish again (16) and vit d was low. After a couple weeks on supplements she is cheerful, sleeping better and looks better. The red rimmed eyes and dark circles are much better.   AND her Ttg was a 3!!!!!! So, we are crushing the gluten-free diet which is great. But WHY are her iron and vit d low if she's not getting any gluten????  She's on 30mg of iron per day and also a multivitamin and vit d supplement (per her dr). That helped her feel better quickly. But will she need supplements her whole life?? Or is there some other reason she's not absorbing iron? We eat very healthy with minimal processed food. Beef maybe 1x per week but plenty of other protein including eggs daily.  She also says her tummy hurts every single morning. That was before the iron (do not likely a side effect). Is that common with celiac?
