    As I am a coffee connoisseur and frequent MANY coffee houses I distinguish the 2 by the menu. From my observations, a cafe usually has more options on the menu. In addition to the coffee drinks and baked goods, I expect to see sandwiches, salads, soups, maybe a breakfast menu. If you decide to expand into SW Wa (I'm guessing you're thinking of opening...

    I found this too--but don't tell my kids click on the Trix cereal link Open Original Shared Link Never heard of these either: click on Kaboom and Spiderman Open Original Shared Link Always make sure to check the labels each time--General Mills is still listing oats online for the Kix, but disclaimer at top says to always check pkg for updates...

    It is totally beautiful, but TOALLY gross to eat. When I make mine, I focus on a really tasty filling, 2 thick layers of buttercream on the outside and let that set up before putting on the fondant. That way there's still a fabulous cake under the icky fondant

    is she making her own? I'm pretty sure the Wilton fondant is gluten-free, but you can call to find out for sure. They're always really helpful with me.

    Both of my kids have Celiac, my dh and I do not, but our house is 98% gluten-free. Dh doesn't eat bread or cereal anyway, but I have my own toaster for my bread and I have my cereal, otherwise, everything is gluten-free. As for the expense, for a family of 4, I spend about $125 every week and a half, with the exception of an extra gallon of milk and some...

    Overall, a gluten-free diet is healthier-with some exceptions, I know-and it's your decision to do what you think is right for your child. Neither one of my kids has ever been made fun of because of Celiac disease. There may be questions once in a while regarding their participation in snack time, but never anything malicious (sp?). My ds tested negative...

    We take frequent road trips, I always bring a small cooler in case the room doesn't have a fridge, and then I can refill using the ice machine. I bring non-perishables that are a little more sustaining-LARA bars, nuts, peanut butter and jelly, crackers, pretzles, fruit, cereal, granola, organic chocolate milk (from Coscto-no refrigeration needed), pudding...

    Pamela's baking mix and gluten-free pretzles (and I think they taste better than regular ones)

    We've been really lucky that everyone in our lives has been really supportive, even though most don't/can't understand. Everyone seems to go out of their way to make sure the kids have something good to eat, and actually plan their menus around them. What tears at my heart the most though, is when my dd's friends (age 7ish) have a birthday party, playdate...

    I really like our daycare, we've been lucky because they've been very supportive, starting with our dd 3 years ago and now our son. I sit down with the teachers, they have a huge binder of info that I made for them, I have a plastic bin with all of his snack foods and I bring his lunch every day-he eats their fruit, veggies, applesauce, yogurt, cottage cheese...

    AMEN!!!

    I'm estimating ~800 calories, if you only had 1 serving of the macadamia nuts. 800 is too low for sustaining life functions-your RMR is probably twice that!! If you want to work out most days, I would aim for ~ 1400-1500 calories a day!

    I'm really happy that they worked this time!!

    I got the same generic letter from P&G, basically a CYA statement, but I did send a very unhappy/dissatisfied letter back regarding the statement about getting your Dr. to send a letter requesting the info--like Dr's have time to send inquiries to various companies for all of their patients. I got a note in return immediately sort-of answering my original...

    Our SW Washington/Portland ROCK chapter is having its 2009 kickoff party on the 24th. The location hasn't been posted yet, but here is the contact info/website. We are always excited to have new people join our group! Open Original Shared Link

    Our kids both had the biopsy. My dd was 4 at the time-glaringly positive visually, biopsy results agreed. Our son was 2 1/2 when he had the biopsy. blood tests were negative at 2, still having major intestinal issues, we decided to go ahead with the biopsy. Both instances were more painful for us, the parents, than for the kids. The only thing either...

    I'm guessing that most of the shopping will be done in Kamloops. Anyone know of grocery stores there?

    We are renting out the Shuswap Lake Motel and Resort for a family reunion this summer (In Sorrento BC, near Kamloops)--I know I'm jumping the gun a bit, but we will start all the planning for who's doing what and bringing what in the next month. Does anyone know what I can and can't cross the border with and what is there, shopping-wise near there? We have...

    I print and use coupons regularly from coupons.com. I've used at Safeway and Fred Meyer. They are manufacture coupons, so they should be able to be used just like a regular coupon.

    Maybe that's why my iphone is about the only phone on the planet nowadays that can't send a picture text.....

    I've made this french bread a few times, I think it's really good. Super crunchy on the outside and soft inside!! It makes amazing french bread pizza too Open Original Shared Link
  22. celiac-mommy
    that's what I used because that's all I had. You could mix it in with the wet ingredients to reconstiute a bit before baking but i didnt have any hard pieces in the bread.

    I found it!! https://www.celiac.com/gluten-free/index.ph...;show=&st=0 Last time I mixed it up, I was out of the almond flour, so I added that same amount of ground flax seed.

    The GIG does a pancake breakfast/fundraiser every summer here and they have multiple varieties of mixes made up for pancakes. Anyone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think they are thru donation. I know if you contact Pamela's directly, they may be able to help. I know they donate a bunch of stuff for all of our ROCK meetings. They seem to be very supportive...

    I had the sundried tomato/garlic (I think) tube of polenta, so I used that. The flours I used was the mix I made up and use for the flax bread-and all my other yeast bread recipes. Off hand, I don't know the concentrations, I know I posted it on here somewhere in the last 2 months, but can't remember where-I'll try to find it and let you know. I know it...
