Need Dessert Ideas

Hi -

We are having some friends over this weekend for a BBQ. Their son (age 5) and my son (3) have different food intolerances and I'm trying to think of an easy, kid friendly dessert that will work for everyone. My son can't have gluten and only limited dairy, their son can't do nuts or chocolate. Most of my go-to dessert recipes have nuts or chocolate in them.

Any ideas?

Individual pavlovas would work - they are also beautiful and fun (not to mention delicious). Have you considered gourmet popsicles or granita? Homemade marshmallows are fun and kid friendly, too. They are cool toasted!

foodgawker.com has tons of ideas w/ great pics. I have found you must type gluten-free to see all of them! That hypen means everything! Good luck to a great picnic. Apples with different "dips" made from other fruits goes well around here with that age group. Kids love to decorate!

How about Betty Crocker gluten free yellow cake mix cupcakes. The frostings are gluten and dairy free too. You could serve that with some fruit. There are no butter instructions on the betty crocker website.

Pudding (vanilla, butterscotch, etc), tapioca (I make mine with coconut milk and put berries or baked apple slices and cinnamon on top), dairy free ice cream, berry pies, sugar cookies.

Hope that helps to at least get you brain-storming :D I wish you luck!

Just thought of something else cute and fun. Someone mentioned jello jigglers which triggered my memory. For my Sunday School class I used to make blue jello in clear cups and when the jello was nearly set I inserted gummy worms and blue whales to replicate tiny aquariums. The kids loved it! You could even have your jello setting up and the kids could complete it themselves.

LOVE that idea. Just copied and pasted in my files.

Thanks, everyone! The gluten-free Betty Crocker recipe triggered my memory that I have the Gluten Free Cake Mix Doctor Cookbook, so I used that as a base and made the peach cupcakes. Huge hit - sent some home with them. I did not know that there are gluten-free rice krispies now - that's going to have to be my next experiment b/c that's something I can make at the last minute and send to school with him.

You all are so awesome - I really appreciate your help.

It is cute, isn't it? At times I even added green shoestring licorice to mimic seaweed. :)

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Russ H · Posted

      I hope you are on the mend soon. About 1 in 5 people who contracted chicken pox as a child go on to develop shingles in later life - it is not uncommon. There are 5 known members of the herpes virus family including chicken pox that commonly infect humans, and they all cause lifelong infections. The exact cause of viral reactivation as in the case of shingles or cold sores is not well understood, but stress, sunburn and radiotherapy treatment are known triggers. Some of the herpes viruses are implicated in triggering autoimmune diseases: Epstein-Barr virus is suspected of triggering multiple sclerosis and lupus, and there is a case where it is suspected of triggering coeliac disease. As to whether coeliac disease can increase the likelihood of viral reactivation, there have been several cohort studies including a large one in Sweden suggesting that coeliac disease is associated with a moderate increase in the likelihood of developing shingles in people over the age of 50.

      BFree bread is fortified with vitamins and minerals as is ASDA own-brand gluten-free bread. All the M&S bread seems to be fortified also.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Flash1970 · Posted

      You might try Heallix.  It's a silver solution with fulvic acid. I just put the solution on with a cotton ball.  It seemed to stop the nerve pain. Again,  not in your eyes or ears.   Go to heallix.com to read more about it and decide for yourself Also,  I do think nerve and celiac combined have a lot to do with your susceptibility to shingles breaking out.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      Celiac disease requires both genetic potential and a triggering stress event to activate the genes. Otherwise it remains dormant and only a potential problem. So having the genetic potential is not deterministic for celiac disease. Many more people have the genes than actually develop the disease. But if you don't have the genes, the symptoms are likely being caused by something else.
