My mom always bought the kids a specialty made chocolate for halloween. You know, like a jack o lantern or a witch. Now that my son is dairy free as well as gluten free, the chocolate is out but she still wants to do something special for halloween. Anyone know of any good holiday type cookies? I was thinking of maybe a butter cookie of some sort.

Cherrybrook Kitchen has a way delicious sugar cookie mix that is dairy free and gluten free. It has been my favorite sugar cookie so far. We made Christmas cut outs with it last year.

I use Tom Sawyer all purpose gluten free baking flour and an old fashion cookie cutter sugar cookie recipe. For the butter I use Fleishman's light margarine which is gluten-free, Dairy Free and Soy free. We cut out the cookies with "insert holiday here" cookie cutters and then have a ball decorating them with different color pillsbury icings and other assorted gluten-free goodies! :D

I second that! I have made my dd chocolates for Valentines Day and Easter using the little plastic molds that are at Michaels. They're only a few dollars and then you've got them for next time.

I have also made sugar cookie cut-outs using pumpkins, bats, ghosts.

Last, I just saw a really cute thing with cupcakes arranged and frosted appropriately to make a big pumpkin. It was in the latest Kraft Food and Family magazine. They may have a picture on-line.

I'm going to try that this year.

Last year - around Thanksgiving someone posted a Pumpkin Cheesecake type recipe that was made in cupcake tins....

It was like a mini pumpkin pie.

I think I'm going to make them with Chocolate chip facial features, so they look like little Jack O' Lanterns.

They were yummy! Try a search and see if it comes up....I'm not sure where I placed the recipe. If I find it I'll come back and post.

Eyeball cupcakes. Get a gluten-free cupcake (or cake) mix or find a recipe. Cover with white frosting, put a gummy Lifesaver in the middle and then put a dark jellybean in the middle of the Lifesaver. Use red frosting in a squeeze tube to make lines that make the eyeball look bloodshot. These were a hit even with college students.

I go to familyfun.com or the kraft sites for good ideas. Last year I made a whole dinner called "dead man on worms"... it was just a meatloaf shaped into semi-human form served over spagetti. No, I don't get carried away... why doyou ask? :rolleyes:

      Celiac attack confusion and anxiety

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi all ! Can a celiac attack be so intense that it causes your entire body to work in reverse? Meaning really bad pain,  neuropathy and muscle,  jaw pain,  the stomach issues , Horrible anxiety and confusion??  I had a Tums and you would think I ate poison. My jaw and stomach did not like it . Not the norm for me. Things that are simple are just out of control. Anyone ever have this happen??  I'm trying to figure out what I ate or did to bring on a celiac like attack. I had an idea before but yesterday I didn't have any gluten unless it was in a medication ?! Any positive suggestions ??  Thank you

      Gluten free stuff

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.

      Gluten free stuff

      By trents · Posted

      Tammy, in the food industry, "gluten free" doesn't mean the same thing as "no gluten". As Scott explained, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) allows food companies to use the "gluten-free" label as long as the product does not contain more than 20 ppm (parts per million) of gluten. This number is based on studies the FDA did years ago to determine the reaction threshold for those with celiac disease. And the 20 ppm figure works for the majority of celiacs. There are those who are more sensitive, however, who still react to that amount. There is another, stricter standard known as "Certified Gluten Free" which was developed by a third party organization known as GFCO which requires not more than 10 ppm of gluten. So, when you see "GFCO" or "Certified Gluten Free" labels on food items you know they are manufactured with a stricter standard concerning gluten content. Having said all that, even though you may read the disclaimer on a food item that says the spices may contain wheat, barley or rye (the gluten grains), you should be able to trust that the amount of gluten the spices may contain is so small it allows the total product to meet the requirements of gluten free or certified gluten free labeling. I hope this helps.
