Need Help W/ Holiday Recipe For Preschool

I need help finding easy holiday recipes for my 4 year old to use for preschool class. His class likes to cook but I need to send in a gluten free AND dairy free recipe. I would like it to be something cute, easy, and edible that will not take much time since it is a class of 4 year olds with their teacher.

Any ideas would be welcome.

Thank you!

Hmmm...so many things to chose from...

gluten-free crackers and peanut butter.

Apples or applesauce with chopped nuts and cinnamon.

Tapioca pudding (made with water, juice or rice/soy milk), then add fruit/berries.

Blend peanut butter with applesauce to form like a pudding, then add cinnamon/carob/cocoa/etc.

Popcorn balls - held together with peanut butter and carob or cocoa.

These things can be made without sugar too, and nobody will miss it either :)

How about some rice krispie treats made with Erewhon rice cereal? We use the one with the raspberries and blueberries in the cereal.

Mix a package of Kraft marshmellows with three TBSPs of Smart Balance instead of butter over low heat or heat in the microwave. Mix in 6 cups of the cereal and when coated, press the mixture into a 13x9 pan coated with olive oil. I also put melted chocolate chips over the top which my daughter can handle. She loves them.

We took them to a Christmas party this weekend so she could have something to eat and a ton of people asked for the recipe. They were surprised they were so simple. The fruit makes them taste a bit different, but good.

You can also use fruity pebbles for this. Cheaper. Pretty. But lots of sugar!

      Hi,  My 7 year daughter has complained of this in the past, which I thought were part of her glutening symptom, but more recently I have come to figure out it's part of her histamine overload symptom. This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine intolerance". I wish I had known of this at the time of her diagnosis, life would have been much easier.  I hope you are able to figure out.

      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin.  He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her kitchen but I thought it would be ok.  Next day and for a few after his behavior is awful. Hitting, rude, disrespectful. Mainly he kept saying his legs were shaking. Is this a gluten exposure symptom that anyone else gets? Also the bad behavior?

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified Gluten" in any given batch run. It just means there could be.

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.
