Food!

[lightningfoot speakin words]

Hi, this is my first time on the forum as well as my first year with glutenfreeitus as I call it. (celiac, jk) It is getting extremely hot and I have no school and I was wondering if you know of any sleepover and hot summer day foods. I am living off of fruitand meat and other stuff, none of it junk food except for the occasional hershey bar and swedish fish and my friends don't like it. please help my playdates!! O and if anyone has some good corndog recipes that are easy cuz I stink at cooking that would be great, too!! thanks in advance!!

LUV,

Hi! I totally understand. This is a sample of what we snack on:

Cheetos

Nachos (Tostitos tortilla chips, Velveeta cheese and a little gluten free salsa - there are lots)

Lays Naturals Doritos

Lays Naturals Sea Salt Potato Chips

Gluten Free Pantry Brownies

Kinnickinnik Cupcakes

Haagendaz chocolate covered vanilla ice cream bars

P.S. Some here don't eat Lays products because they feel there could be a risk of cross contamination since Lays does not have production lines dedicated gluten free. However, we've never had a problem.

My favorite corn dog is Oscar Meyer hot dogs covered with Chebe bread mix. It tastes great. It was a recommendation from some genius on this forum. But someone just posted a few days ago about a gluten free corn dog they tasted and loved. I think it was called S'Better Farms, or something like that! Worth looking into.

Anyway, there are so many good gluten free snacks out there. Hope you enjoy your summer!

Hi: I have spent a lot of time contacting manufacturers about gluten free products and have kept all my findings. Kraft is one of the best--if you contact them they will send you a gluten free product list--they have a lot of great stuff that is gluten-free. I also tried the makers of chips etc and Ruffles Rippled plain chips are my favorite--it's great to have munchies again I live in Canada and you could check out the Celiac Canada website as it list a bunch of gluten free products by manufacturer. Good Luck:)

I don't live in Canada, so please keep in mind that some of this stuff might not be available there. For sleepovers you could do Amy's rice crust pizza. Some on here have had problems with it, but others eat it regularly with no problems. I'm one of those who love it and eat it all the time with no problems. You could do popcorn too, some brands are gluten free, or you could just do air popped with fresh butter or margarine. Rice Krispy treats (w/ gluten free rice krispies) are always a hit. Pinwheels (Seltzer's sweet balogna wrapped around cream cheese), cheese cubes, veggies with Kraft ranch dressing for dipping, apples and peanut butter, gluten free cookies, gluten free crackers, Glutano crisp bread with peanut butter or chicken salad, rice cakes (peanut butter and honey is great on those), and nachos (corn tortilla chips with melted cheddar cheese) all make great snacks.

Are Cheetos gluten free?

Are Cheetos gluten free?

yes they are, but they are not produced on a dedicated line like the Lay's Stax are, so there is a small risk of cross contamination IF they don't remember to use stringent cleaning policies between batches. I personally have gotten ill from the, but I know a lot of people eat them.

I snack on lots of fruit, fruit leather, nachos, coconut macaroons, yogurt, popcorn, Enjoy Life cookies or cereal bars, and so on... hope that gives you some ideas.

I eat the baked cheetos (taste the same for me) and don't have a problem. Also try dill pickles wrapped in a slice of turkey or ham lunchmeat w/cream cheese spread on it. Sounds funny but it's good! Or when I don't have the cream cheese I just take a slice of turkey, a slice of regular kraft cheese, and wrap it around a pickle - my "sandwhich". Also try the turkey or ham and cream cheese wrapped around green onion - great little appetizer to take to a picnic.

cracker jacks and other caramel corn mixes (fiddle faddle, etc.) are gluten-free too

I have finally found someone else who makes pickle wraps!

There are so many gluten free junk foods. Did you get a copy of the delphi gluten free food list? If not someone here or I can send you a copy. Just PM your e-mail address.
