  1. There really wasn't much of an option for him. I do all the grocery shopping and all of the cooking. I do ask for input when planning the menu so I know what to buy and modifications needed to make it gluten-free and healthy. Then I get input after the meal regarding changes to make, never make again, make tomorrow, etc... As far as getting the...
  2. I was in your situation 7 years ago. I was 100# overweight after the birth of my dd. I changed everything about the way my family ate from then on. I can't control what my dh eats outside of the house (he's currently ~60# overweight, on BP meds, and has no desire to do anything about it) BUT I can control what he/they eat in my house. Very little junk...
  3. It's not the gummy kind-but my kids needed extra iron, and the gummy-vites didn't have what we needed. Anyway, they fight over the Schiff chewables, they LOVE them...
  4. I agree with a lot of what has been said (from the "what it's worth department" ) My dh wants the junk food in the house, I don't-when he b%$@#es about it, I remind him who does ALL the grocery shopping, and if he'd like the junk, he can go to the store and get it himself-98% of the time, he won't go I, also, am not a short order cook. I refuse to...
  5. My kids always get the real stuff, but I occasionally use the sugar free stuff, so I inquired: February 3, 2009 Dear Rachelle: Thank you for taking the time to inquire about Pinnacle Foods Group, LLC and the products we produce which may be gluten-free. We appreciate your interest in our company and our products. There is no gluten...
  6. If glutened, my ds is very whiney and clingy, otherwise, if he's healthy, he's happy! If it get's out of control, I gently say, "I'm sorry, but you're hurting mommy's ears, I'm going to go in the other room (or put him in his bedroom) until you're ready to act like a big boy" When he sees that I'm not giving in to his demands and since he wants to be in...
  7. I've made this so many times, it is soooo great, easy to prep the night before and pop in the oven for an AMAZING breakfast!! Sticky Bun Brunch Bread: Make the night before.... 1 pkg Bob's cinammon raisin bread mix (+ ingredients to make the bread) 1 3oz pkg butterscotch pudding mix 1/2 c brown sugar (packed) 1/2 c chopped pecans 1 stick melted...
  8. I have anxiety disorder and was taking meds for many years. I went off of them when I got pregnant with my son and didn't want to go back. I talked to my dr about it and she has me taking 2000u of vitD, 500mg magnesium and 1000mg calcium per day. It has made a world of difference and I don't have the "unwanted" side effects of the Paxil....
  9. We're going to a party, I am bringing an italian pasta salad and football themed cupcakes-I'm so excited to make them
  10. I always ask my kids what they want and make that--dd is usually homemade mac&cheese or lasagna You could do: a spaghetti feed or pasta bar-make a bunch of noodles and 2-4 easy sauces lasagna/garlic bread/salad burgers (or sliders on rolls-would be easy and fun) and fries baked potato bar taco bar pulled pork done in crockpot w/ gluten-free...
  11. what's the age group?
  12. This has been a hot topic many times over If you type "daycare" into the search engine here, you will find the most recent daycare threads. Here's one-hope it helps: https://www.celiac.com/gluten-free/lofivers...php/t54355.html
  13. Their website lists their recalls, none of the Envirokidz products are on there.
  14. I never go for the popcorn because I don't know what's in their flavors they add to it. Occasionally I will let the kids get M&M's or Kissables, but usually I sneak (Yeah, I'm horrible ) a snack bag in for each kid and justify it by buying them a drink.
  15. I happened to be on their website this morning looking at the pb recall stuff, making sure none of the Envirokidz stuff was recalled and I found this: Open Original Shared Link there's more info than this, but these are the highlights for their foods MARKED "gluten-free" Gluten Free Products We want to thank our consumers for contacting us about...
  16. I use this one, only stevia as a sweetener. The ingredients are towards the bottom of the page. I think it tastes really good! Open Original Shared Link
  17. I agree with this!!! There is no excuse on his part, realistically, she is not safe in his home. Intentionally poisoning his dd---I can't even fathom this
  18. I made this and brought it to work, it disappeared instantly!! I love cheesecake and this is by far my favorite I've ever made! Open Original Shared Link I made gluten-free vanilla wafers ahead of time--in place of the flours listed, I just used a blend I had at home, you can use whatever you have (I don't like the taste of soy flour)... Open Original...
  19. I'm having a little trouble trying to figure out the total difference between casein vs lactose vs dairy free. I'm thinking she should be all milk-product free for those 3 weeks, whether it's cow/goat/sheep~we eat a lot of specialty cheeses that are goat and sheep. I'm finding it really hard because like taweavmo3 said, my kids also eat quite a bit of dairy...
  20. I called to make an appt for the kids' yearly checkup with the gastroenterologist. He called me back to see how things were going and I mentioned that our dd has been complaining of random stomachaches. They aren't consistant and I know she uses them to get out of things sometimes (like chores and bedtime), but I would feel horrible to ignore them and have...
  21. Our dd, we saw no real change in height/weight, but she was already in the 95th percentile for both-she was 4 a the time of diagnosis. She is now 7 and the height of a 10 year old. Our son, however, was 2.5 when he was diagnosed. He was below the 10th % for height and weight. He was wearing 18mo clothing and a size 5 shoe (9-12mo size). Within 3 months...
  22. Thanks for the great info! My question is regarding ConAgra: " Some fermented or distilled products, such as vinegar, may be drived from wheat. We suggest that you speak to your physician to determine if you need to avoid distilled products derived from wheat, rye, barley, or oats. If Natural Flavors, Artificial Flavors, or Spices listed in the...
  23. We usually do an omlette for breakfasts, she prefers fruit over the hashbrowns, so I've never asked about them. There's one breakfast that is a veggie omlette, fruit and a bran muffin, then I order a bowl of fruit and eat her muffin (and whatever eggs she doesn't eat). Dinner is a burger patty or chicken breast, with fruit-they have a shared frier.
  24. We go there a few times a year, and the only place we usually eat is Pig n Pancake (but we never go during peak meal times). Madeleine has never gotten sick there. We did eat at Doogers-I think that's in Cannon Beach, but all she could really have was poached fish and a baked potato. I know she's perfectly happy eating there, but Max would rather starve...
  25. We don't like it. It's just OK for french toast, but otherwise, not great.
