Gingerbread House


Kylie

Recommended Posts

Hello everyone,

Everywhere I go these days I see the cutest kits for making gingerbread houses, and I want to make one too! Does anyone have any good recipes for gingerbread cookies that would hold up to building and also, does anyone know of any molds or pans that are in the house shape? It may not be as easy as the kit, but I am determined to make a gluten free gingerbread house this year! Thanks for all your help.

We make a gluten-free, DF and SF gingerbread house every year. I follow the recipe for gingerbread men in the Betty Crocker cookbook and simply substitute gluten-free flour. If you don't have Betty Crocker I'll post the recipe.

I draw out on paper what shape we want - usually 4 simple walls (two of them "house" shaped), and two simple roof pieces. Then I cut out the dough into the right shapes and bake it. My big trick is that I cut a cereal box into the same shaped pieces and use icing (again, from Betty Crocker) to glue the cool gingerbread to the cardboard pieces. Then, using lots of icing and occasionally a toothpick or two, I put the house together and we decorate it with all kinds of gluten-free candy. We've been doing this for about 10 years and it always turns out great. It tastes delicious when we eat it a week or so later too!

If you want to make individual mini houses...just frost the goodies to a washed school-lunch sized milk carton...great for kids to do on their own. You can wrap plastic around it and tie it on your tree if its not too heavy or and the stairway rails, etc.

The sensitive Baker www.thesensetivebaker.com is making kits this year (you may need to call them to get it) and so are these people: Open Original Shared Link who you definitely have to call to order it (its not on their web site, but they do have it). I have eaten other things at the sensetive baker and they have good stuff, the cakeartsupplies people are working with Pamela's products. I have an order for two houses from cakeartsupplies, but they are not shipping them yet. They do not provide the candies though as they cannot garuntee all their candies are gluten-free so would rather not risk it (which I appreciate).

Being rather overworked I appreciate the premade stuff :P

You could also use Kinnikinnick's graham crackers for the base and just frost them to form a gingerbread house. Haven't tried it, but it should work! :)

      I have Celiacs and want you to be aware of the amount of weight you can potentially put on if you rely on gluten free snacks, bread etc.,they  are high in carbs.  I put on 25 lbs in a short amount of time.  Whole Foods are the best way to go but I struggle with this.  The cost of gluten free is also a problem.  I love black licorice but most have gluten.  My favorite chili seasoning as well.  The list is endless.  I take  Advil liquid gels and had no idea until I read this.  I hope you do better than I have done.  I feel I am destined to suffer daily no matter what.  My aunt didn’t take care of herself and died from complications.  I hope you can get on a good routine.

      Thank you, I appreciate the response. I'm going to begin the gluten free diet and wait for the biopsy results. I feel fairly certain that it's the right thing for my well being. I will keep you posted.

      The flu vaccine is indeed not 100% effective every year, as its effectiveness varies depending on how well the vaccine strains match the circulating flu viruses. However, even in years when the match is less than perfect, the flu vaccine still provides significant benefits. Studies consistently show that vaccinated individuals who contract the flu often experience milder symptoms, a lower risk of complications, and a reduced likelihood of hospitalization or death compared to those who are unvaccinated. For high-risk groups, such as the elderly, young children, and individuals with chronic health conditions, the flu vaccine remains a critical tool for reducing severe outcomes. Regarding the mention of risks associated with vaccines, it’s important to note that the flu vaccine is generally very safe for most people. Serious side effects are extremely rare, and the benefits of vaccination far outweigh the risks for the vast majority of individuals. If someone has specific concerns about vaccine safety due to medical conditions or allergies, they should consult their healthcare provider to discuss their options. As for alternative measures like a D Lamp (ultraviolet light disinfection), while these can be useful for reducing pathogens in the environment, they are not a substitute for vaccination. The flu virus spreads primarily through respiratory droplets, and personal protection measures like hand hygiene, masking, and improving indoor ventilation can complement vaccination but cannot replace its targeted immune protection.

      Because you have already had the "gold standard" test done, and because you have some experiential evidence that removing gluten from your diet causes you to feel better, it would make sense to begin the gluten-free diet as you wait for biopsy results.

      I wasn't given any blood tests. I think I should try the gluten free diet because when I cut it out a few weeks ago for just a couple of days, I know I started feeling better. The difference was actually pretty dramatic. When I learned gluten free eating may cause false negative biopsy results, I went back to gluten full force and feel like you know what × 10. Do you feel it would be okay since the gold standard for diagnosis is behind me or should I wait for biopsy results? In your opinion, of course. I know you can't offer me medical advice.
