    I've been a cake making machine lately! So many summer birthdays. Here's a gluten-free black forest cake recipe....it turns out great and looks really fancy, but is easy! The Cake: 1 1/2 cups white rice flour 3/4 cups tapioca flour 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon baking soda 3 teaspoons baking powder 1 teaspoon xanthan gum 4 eggs 1 1/4 cups white...

    yep, I bet it will work for cupcakes too! I'd bake them for less time, maybe start with 15 minutes and test them every few minutes after that. Good luck!

    Thank you for saying that, Puddy! I was honestly wondering if they were helpful, so it makes me feel good ) I remember those first few months, I think I ate pretty much cooked chicken breast and carrot sticks and nothing else. Even if a menu just gives you some ideas, it can help get your brain going as to what to eat. I promise...it WILL get easier...

    Forgot to add...I will often make things and take out part of it before serving it for the people in my family who are allergic...for example, I'll toss the salad first, take out my son's portion and my hubby's, and then add the blue cheese and tomatoes. Then hubby can add cheese to his and son can add tomatoes to his, and neither of them have to pick something...

    Thanks! Most of my dinners are dairy free, but some of them are not. You can just use a dairy free cheese substitute for the parmisan and feta in the two recipes that do have dairy...we use sheep cheese (mizethra) instead of parmisan and goat feta, which my son and I can handle better than cow's milk. The Oreo cake is sort of expensive to do dairy...

    As always, just email or leave a comment if you want more info on a recipe! Saturday: Grilled chicken with barbecue sauce (Kraft), a green salad, corn on the cob. We'll grill extra chicken to use on Monday. Sunday: Grilled burgers (Lipton Onion soup and and Worcestershire sauce in the meat), fruit salad, green salad, home fries (toss cut potatoes, skin...

    Hi! This is a great birthday cake for kids. I made one for my daughter's birthday Saturday and it was really fun! I have photos, let me know if you want to see them. I don't have them saved on an online photo thingy yet. GLUTEN FREE CASTLE CAKE: 1 1/2 cups white rice flour 3/4 cups tapioca flour 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon baking soda 3 teaspoons...

    Thanks for the complement about the blog! I am excited about it this week 'cause I have 2 excuses to make fancy birthday cakes. I'm going to add photos and recipes for them after I bake them. Let me know when you try the Satay sauce, I was really happy with it and particularly on the bean thread noodles. I didn't add any additional spicy stuff to it,...

    This Week's Gluten Free Menu Well.~~Time to plan! Sarah's birthday is Sunday and Dawn's was yesterday, and of course Sunday is Father's Day...so this weekend is all about celebrating! I will be making two gluten free cakes, so look for photos and complete recipes for those later on in the week. The weather is supposed to finally be decent, so we'll be...

    I have included suggestions for how to do it without dairy, soy and eggs. It's naturally dairy and soy free, though. It's a fun recipe to do with kids and it's quick, just whip it up, bake it and dump it out. No need for layers or frosting! You Need: 1 1/2 cups white rice flour 3/4 cups tapioca flour 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon baking soda 3 teaspoons...

    I was thinking about looking for something like that. It honestly doesn't bother me too much to not eat, there are times when the colitis is bad when I just fast until I feel better. Usually if I stay away from dairy and of course from gluten I feel OK, but I have wondered if just giving my system a complete break might be a good idea. Thanks for the name...

    We now have 2 locations in Salt Lake City with gluten free take out/eat in PIZZA! You have to order the gluten-free crust, but all the other ingredients are gluten free. It is sooooooo good! if you have one in your area, bug them about getting in gluten-free crusts. Apparently (not surprising!) they are selling like crazy. So wonderful NOT to have to...

    Oh, shoot! I didn't know that. I'll post my blog on my profile. It's OK to keep posting the meals though, right?

    The prognosis is not that great, it's not going to kill me but I will probably be dealing with it the rest of my life. You can take stronger meds than I'm on...steroids and immune suppresent drugs...but I would rather deal with diarrhea than with the side effects of those! I was dx'd about 4 years ago, but have probably had it for closer to 16 years, since...

    Oh, thanks!! I have been looking for an easy to find brand, and I bet the Fleshman's will be at our local supermarket. Yea!

    Well, I decided to start posting my weekly menu on our Blog. I figure it will help me keep track of what we're planning to eat because I always write it all down and lose it. Plus, this way I can print it out and keep it and just recycle the menus after awhile! My blog is www.anerissara.blogspot.com, I will try and pop in here and post them here, too...

    I used to post frequently but my computer crashed, so I had to start over with a new 'name'. I used to be Anerissara. Anyway, I have been seeing a good GI doc and biopsies show that i have Lymphocytic (sp?) Colitis. She says this frequently goes along with people who have Celiac's. Anyone else have it? Anyone have any sort of success in getting rid of it...

    oh wow, that looks so good! I wish my family would eat sweet potatoes ( I may try this with red potatoes, though...bet it would also be good with blue cheese on top and no salmon. Yummy!
  23. RissaRoo
    Cool! What's Ricemellow creme, and where do you get it? Is it like the marshmallow fluff you buy in a jar?

    Enjoy Life is a brand that does allergy free foods. They are free of all of the ones you listed, except I don't knwo about honey. Not too expensive...boy, that's a tough one. As you get used to things, you tend to find regular grocery items that are OK. allergygrocer.com has tons of products and you can search according to which foods you need to avoid...

    Oh, man...sickchick, I'm glad you said something! I'll have to check the pkg of chips I used, but I bet they have some soy. We can tolerate a bit of soy, so it wasn't a concern for us...I went back and changed the blog post to make sure anyone who uses it checks for soy in the chips. Enjoy Life has some allergy free chocolate chips, they may have other...
