    Gluten free, yes. Dairy free, not necessarily... But she might not use butter in hers either.

    Every recipe I make (that is not a yeast bread), I completely omit the salt, baking soda, baking powder and xanthan gum that a recipe calls for. Then I decrease the fat BY 2/3. I've never had a problem. It actually makes the recipe much faster because there's less stuff to measure out!

    I used to be an avid baker, pre-Celiac. After my dd was diagnosed, I bought a bunch of cookbooks and was totally scared off with the incredible list of ingredients needed to make a batch of muffins or cookies, and what if they didn't taste good, I would have spent 30$ on all the different flours to make 1 batch of crap. I stopped baking. I cooked a lot...

    Yeah, I would omit the baking soda, salt and xanthan gum completely. Use the Pamela's straight across for the flour and decrease the butter to 1/3c. You'll want to make sure that it's VERY soft, even melted (that's what I usually do) and it will NOT cream with the sugar completely until you add the eggs and vanilla, THEN it will look like normal cookie...

    The spice cake is THE BEST!! for not being chocolate

    We tried the buying fruits and veggies thing for a little while, but it was a pain, I was already packing part of her lunch and then spending $$ on the school food. It got rediculous. I started meal planning with my dd, let her pick out what she wanted and now that she's old enough, she can start making/helping make her own lunches. She like that she can...

    The Pamela's you should be able to find it at Whole Foods, if you like it, I would suggest buying in bulk from amazon, it's much cheaper.

    I use Pamela's, I'm pretty sure it has tapioca in it. We aren't sensitive to it but others are. I use all my regular cookbooks and I sub the mix straight across for the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt and I decrease the amount of fat listed BY 2/3 (ie, recipe calls for 1c butter, I use 1/3c)

    I haven't, but if I did, I think I would try coconut oil. I think that would be TDF!! I LOVE lemon curd

    But 'D' can cause dehydration and dehydration can cause arrhythmias, did she mention that? I'm a cardiovascular technologist, I have an extensive cardiac history as well. I know that (like mentioned before) that arrythmias can be cause by MANY things, they are very common, and most people notice them more at night because they are finally sitting or laying...

    I'm always a big fan of breakfast for dinner, vegetable frittata's, hashbrown casserole, baked oatmeal (if you can do oatmeal and you like it--search "baked oatmeal" here for my recipe, it's soooo good), scrambled eggs with peppers and onions and Jimmy Dean turkey sausages. My kids' all-time favorite (I think it's pretty good too ) is a Vans waffle, thin...

    Why 1200? That's really low, even if you're not exercising much, and if you are, that s way too low--for more than 3-5 days. 1500-1600 if you're somewhat active is better and more realistic. Too long at 1200 and there may be a binging issue--I speak from experience

    I was told by BBW customer service that they will list wheat if it's in the ingredients.

    Holly, I make mine, bake and then freeze. I'm not sure how the unbaked dough would freeze, thaw and rise, but once baked, the shells freeze great. This is the recipe I use. My DH says its the best crust he's ever had. I've also made flat bread out of it and foccacia. I make the crusts personal size so everyone can make their own. Open Original Shared...

    Speaking from much much much experience the best way to start losing weight is to keep a little journal with you at all times and write down EVERYTHING you put in your mouth. If you eat 1 M&M, write it down. You can use websites like calorieking.com to find the nutritional info for just about everything or you can use fitday.com as your journal if...

    You're probably going to get a lot of "NO WAY's" but I have to say that, on occasion, I allow it. She is not allowed to be in the room while they are making it, but I intentially keep her fingernails super short for hygene/bacteria issues in general and she is to wash immediately after. We've never had a glutening issue from it. She's also almost 7 and...

    Excellent!! We are heading down there next weekend, Thanks!

    I use Hershey's and Ghirardelli. I've looked at some of the supposed "high end" powders (according to Martha Stewart ) and I can't remember brands right now, but when I turned the can to look at ingredients both said "may contain wheat" so I passed. I really like the Ghirardelli though.
  19. celiac-mommy
    Everything Janet said!!! I do the same, I have a case sent evey 2 months. I also have to say the recipe for sugar cookie roll outs made from the bread mix is AWESOME and easy to roll out!!

    If you start using Pamela's, there is a learning curve, especially when it comes to adding fats. I've learned that if I decrease the amt of fat added (oil, butter, etc...) by 2/3, the recipe is usually perfect. It is really forgiving when it comes to baked goods. It does NOT work well for pie crusts though--but I didn't decrease the butter in my recipe...
  21. celiac-mommy
    Yeah, but you'd probably want to add maybe a 1/2c oil to make up for the almond flour. And if you like the taste of Bob's, go for it!! I made them last week with my own gluten-free blend and they were really good, but a little dry, so I just had to add butter Next time I'll add the oil-I had run out of Pamela's and my next shipment wasn't delivered till...

    Super easy-- 2c applesauce 4 eggs or 3/4c whites 2tsp cinnamon 1tsp vanilla 1/3c sugar 2c Pamela's mix mix all ingredients, bake 350 for 20-25 min. My kids love these

    I'm glad you're home and on the mend, lots more rest and a speedy recovery to you!!!
  24. celiac-mommy
    I guess they're not vegetarian either....

    Are you in the US? I've read in multiple places that in the US, MSG is derived from corn. I know MSG, in general reaks (sp?) havok on my stomach and I'm not Celiac. Also, you might want to look into the small amt of wheat in the McD's fries--long discussed topic on here. They are a no-no in my house, a small amt is too much for us! Open Original Shared...
