the pb cookie recipe is everywhere on the web, add some choc chips

the cornmeal muffins you could make, use cornstarch instead of tapioca, good with jam

there are 2 flourless choc cakes

coconut drops, try the cornstarch here too

I will keep my eye out and add what I find, I love looking for recipes

Ditto elanas and karinas sites

Hello A&Z's Mom,

Are you looking for finger foods or baked goods? There are a lot of websites with recipes and box mixes for baked goods. I work and my kids are teens (15,17,18) so our snacks are quick, filling and travel easy. Here are a few...

3 ingredient peanut butter cookies with enjoy life chocolate chips

peanut butter and apple slices

coconut/DYI rice /DYI almond milk, fruit (banana, berries) shakes (I like to use some of the almond paste in these)

rice chex, enjoy life chocolate chips, dried fruit, nuts, trail mix

salsa and corn chips (meijers organic)

avacado, tomato, spices dip on anything

We also try to keep a plate of safe cooked meat patties (sausage, venison burgers, hamburgers) in the fridge.

veggies, veggies, veggies cut up and thrown in a bowl easy to grab and dip

boiled eggs

Lays Potato Chips (yes they are fattening but they taste like butter and I really miss butter)

lemonade with frozen strawberry "ice cubes"

I saw a recipe for frozen banana slices dipped in chocolate and covered in coconut!

and if you are lucky enough to live near a large city there are dairy free, soy free, gluten free ice creams

Making that list made me hungry!

Take care OptimisticMom42

Karina has 2 cracker recipes, the one called Savory Grain Free calls for almond meal and parmesan. You could make 1/2 a recipe (I do that often) to see if you will like it. You might me able to sub nutritional yeast for the parmesan or part of it...IDK. I have only made crackers once, the flavor was good but they were soft...threw them in our soup.

I found out later you can re-bake them after they cool, Karina mentions it on her recipe.

The SCD thread has recipes, there is one for crackers...AliB should know about it or other recipes, you could PM her.

I have tried them too and they were outright rejected by my kids bc of texture and taste...i think almond flour is good but my kids r not keen on it genrally...and i have no acess to xantham gum or specialty products or boxed mixes...so everything is pretty basic...but this forum has been literally a lifeline..we have been on this path for a year and half and things r getting bteer including my skills in the kitchen

We mainly just use corn tortilla chips, great for all sorts of dips, chili, bean dip, guacamole, salsa, hummus, nachos, taco/sloppy joe mix...the Mission Chips are pretty tough, great for scooping.

I make this granola bar about 3 times per week. I make it with 1/2 nutty flax cereal/1/2 gluten-free rice crispy cereal, 2 cups mixed nuts and 1 cup chocolate chips (one daughter will not eat fruit and chocolate just works well in this recipe), sometimes I will add 1/4 cup chopped dates to the honey/brown sugar part of the glue (it melts well and blends with the chocolate, so daughter doesn't know it is there). I also use almond butter instead of peanut butter (I'm intolerant to legumes). Open Original Shared Link

Hi,

Here's a recipe for a Gluten Free WF DF Corn flour/starch Sponge cake, there's only 3 ingredients

.

The recipe is unforgiving, so needs to be followed exactly (no short cuts).

THE CRACKERS WERE FAB!!!!

THE KIDS WERE DIVIDED THOUGH...SON FOUND THEM TOO CHEESY BUT I AND MY DD FOUND THEM VERY CLOSE TO RITZ CRACKERS.....

now if i reduce the amount of cheese and maybe add an egg, i would have a better dough, the original recipe was bit crumbly...any ideas

you have more experience than i do...so any suggestions or tips would be welcome!!!!!

You could compare it with this recipe for cheese crackers to see what changes you can make.

check the gluten-free box

[bear6954]

I have a cook book called "You won't believe it's gluten free!" by Roben Ryberg. This book is made with single ingredients - rice, corn, potato etc. It has everthing in the book and it gives subs for dairy. It has snacks, meals, crusts, cookies, bread etc. I have not interest in selling of the book, it happened to be the first cook book I picked out when my son was diagnosed.

[A&Z'S MOM]

looked up the short bread and short cake recipes...i am set for a week..i will try them out and hoping they turn out welll.........again thanx everyone
