Muffins For My Picky Eater

I played with a muffin recipe from one of my cookbooks and was able to sneak in some meat/veggies (both of which my very picky toddler tends to refuse). Followed the package directions from the Namaste muffin mix, added 1/2 cup applesauce, about 1/2 c pureed chicken (I cheated and used baby food), a jar of sweet potato baby food and a jar of carrots. Baked at 375 for about 18 minutes or so.

He ate 2 of them for breakfast. Thought I'd share in case anyone else has a picky toddler and jars of baby food still around.

Without the chicken, these sound like something I would eat. Lots o' veggies! Did you change the other dry or wet ingredients at all?

No, just added them to the prepared muffin mix. Yeah the chicken is a little weird although he didn't notice. He hates the texture of meat.

There are black bean brownie recipes out there also(Weight watchers had one) maybe you can find a gluten-free version also. If he needs protein.

I've never tried this with gluten free brownie mix, but I've done a simplified version w/ regular. Rinsed a can of black beans in the can then filled with enough water to cover, then pureed it all in the blender. Added it to dry brownie mix and baked as usual. No other ingredients. It was great - you'd never guess that it had black beans in it. Maybe I'll give it a try with the Betty Crocker brownie mix, although it seems like a lot of the gluten-free mixes require that you add way more oil than regular so the lack of added fat might be an issue.

Is Namaste a gluten-free muffin mix? I've never heard of it. My daughter is pretty picky and has been terrible lately. I'm not sure I could get her to eat a muffin, no matter what it taste like. Did you try it?

Yes, Namaste makes a gluten-free muffin mix. I'm sure it doesn't have to be that brand, that's just what my store had. I didn't try it, but my (gluten eating) husband did and he liked it. Although he'll eat anything so that may not be the best barometer :D . I'm just glad to have something to add to the list of things my kid will eat!

Here is a link to the black bean brownie thread. It tastes wonderful and I have my coworkers ask me for it. They can't believe it is made out of beans..no flour at all. I have used various things for sweetner: sugar, splenda, erythritol/stevia and truvia. Like the regular sugar and truvia the best.

      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.
