Looking For Good gluten-free Mac N Cheese And Spaghetti O's For Kids

Hi. Since our household went gluten free, I've had to find subs for my kids favorite foods. They've rejected all gluten-free mac n cheese so far. I've tried Annie's gluten-free kind AND Annie's deluxe gluten-free. I've also tried Amy's frozen gluten-free df sf that you microwave. I haven't seen any others? My son also loves the Annie's org O's from pasta, and I can't find a gluten-free equivolent? He needs to eat organic with no chemicals. Hope that you know!!!

Trader Joe's has a boxed gluten-free mac and cheese that tastes identical to the Kraft Dinner type that has gluten in it. Until I found this brand, I thought all of the others were absolutely awful.

The best mac and cheese that I found (before I became allergic to cheese) was making it homemade with Tinkyada pasta. It's certainly not as convienent as a box but the taste is worlds better. That Annies stuff is gross, IMO.

For Spaghetti O's you might try a brand called Organ. I have had this: Open Original Shared Link once and it was decent (my mom bought it for me because I liked spaghetti O's as a child). The sauce did have a similar flavor but the texture of the spaghetti is different from Spaghetti O's.

Easiest mac&cheese recipe ever and my kids devour it-even the super picky boy... They like Annie's just OK and don't like Amy's anymore.

Preheat oven 350

Ancient harvest quinoa pasta, any shape except spaghetti, prepare according to package directions

While the pasta is cooking, in a pot over low-medium heat, combine 1 can evaporated milk and 1# of any cheese, shredded (for quicker melt). I usually use medium cheddar for the kids, but you can use anything. Sometimes I'll just dump in a mixture of whatever's left in the fridge (mmmmmmmm, brie........ ;) )

-Stir until melted.

-Dump the cheese sauce and drained noodles into a baking dish, mix together and bake for about 30 minutes, until the edges are browned.

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      I put on over 12kg by eating protein with every meal, 3 to 5 times a day. Eggs, Chicken, Tuna, Turkey etc. I stay away from too much red meat as it can be inflammatory. Scott is correct. I've come across a bunch of Coeliac PT's on Tiktok and Instagram. They all say the same thing, the key is getting enough protein and consistency.

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's great to hear that eliminating gluten has helped alleviate symptoms like eye burning, which is a significant and positive change. The first and most important step is to ensure you're consuming enough protein throughout the day to support muscle repair and growth, which can be challenging with a busy schedule. Since you're already physically active at work, adding focused strength training just 2-3 times per week can make a major difference. Bodyweight exercises like squats, push-ups (modified if needed), and lunges, or using resistance bands at home, are excellent, efficient places to start. Remember, consistency with these short sessions and prioritizing post-workout recovery, including good sleep and hydration, are just as crucial as the workouts themselves. It's a smart, gradual process at any age.

      suggest gluten free food

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Trader Joe's carries a good variety of affordable gluten-free foods like bagels, hamburger buns, pasta, etc. I like Franz Gluten Free bread, which is available at my local Costco. Food For Life and Little Northern Bakehouse (advertisers here) also make excellent gluten-free breads. Costco also sells gluten-free pizzas, crackers, gravy, etc.
