  1. A friend gave me this recipe, she thinks it came from Southern Living 3-5 years ago. We serve it with a side of buttered pasta. 1.5 pound eggplant, sliced 1/4 inch thin 1 cup parmesan cheese 2 cups mozzarella cheese (reserve 1/2 cup for end) 1.5-2 cups tomato sauce (recipe called for 1.5, I prefer 2 cups) Preheat oven to 375. Place 4 stacks (2...
  2. Welcome Karen, What kinds of meals have you and your family been eating prior to your diagnosis? That might help guide us with the suggestions. -Here is a great website for crockpot recipes Open Original Shared Link but if you prefer not to use a crockpot, the recipes can easily be converted to stove top or in the oven. The author's daughter has celiac...
  3. I make a very easy parmesan/alfredo sauce for my daughter. Melt butter in a pan, add parmesan cheese, heavy cream (we're calorie boosting for her, you could sub milk), garlic powder (or fresh minced) and a dash of pepper. I don't measure (which is unlike me) because it's so easy, I just do it to taste. You can pair this with pasta, pour it over chicken...
  4. GLutino pretzel twists. Pamela's Pancake and Baking Mix...the package and website have lots of good recipes. Different gluten free flours (or an all purpose flour blend). Maybe also a cake or brownie mix (Namaste, Pamela's) to have on hand before she feels up to trying different recipes. I really like Annalise Roberts' Gluten Free Baking Classics (2nd...
  5. Fruity Pebbles and Ccoa Pebbles are gluten free...they are made by Post, a Kraft company, so any gluten would be listed as wheat, barley/malt, rye, or oats. Corn Chex have barley malt extract, so they are not gluten free.
  6. Are Kinnikinnick flaky like gluten graham crackers or are they thick/dense like Josef? DD used to love Josef grahams but has stopped eating them recently so I'm looking for something new. I'm thinking I'd like to try Smorables and asked our HFS if they can order them. Thanks!
  7. Honey Kix is a new cereal by General Mills and it does not have gluten ingredients. It tastes great! I think some on the board has said regular Kix is also changing, but I have only seen regular Kix with oats, so we're sticking with Honey Kix for now.
  8. I recommend a Thermos for hot meals. We use one for DD for school and when we're on the go. Fill it with anything...pasta with meat sauce, chili, soup, chicken stir fry, mac and cheese, light hot dog and baken beans, chicken breast and vegetables. We make big batches of everything and freeze extra portions in tupperware (8 oz for DD). We have busy mornings...
  9. Vlynx- we made Namaste's chocolate cake mix for DD's birthday party and everyone really liked it. Each mix makes (2) 9" layers, whereas some mixes only make one layer. I find it cheapest on A M A Z O N dot COM, esp if you need a lot for a big party. For big parties we've done baked ziti (with gluten-free pasta), meatballs in a crockpot, spiral ham ...
  10. My husband and I are really interested in starting a ROCK support group in our area (DD3 has celiac). Everything was so overwhelming when she was first diagnosed, but things are much easier now, and we'd like to help other families while getting the chance to meet people too. I emailed Danna Korn and she sent me the info needed to start a group. I was...
  11. We love Namaste, plus each package makes (2) 9" layers, so it's equivalent to a regular cake mix. Some other gluten-free cake mixes are almost as expensive but only make one layer. I bought a sampler of flavors from Namaste, but now buy the chocolate cake mix from A m a z o n dot COM (6 bags per order).
  12. My kids love -The new Honey Kix (3g fiber per serving) -Rice Chex (plain or make a chex mix recipe from their website substituting gluten-free ingredients) -Glutino pretzels -Corn chips; sometimes we make "cheesy chips" aka nachos -Frito's (a new discovery yesterday) -Animal crackers: Envirokidz or Mi-Del -Josef graham crackers (they have cinnamon...
  13. Trader Joe's also sells Gummy-Vites. For other parent's reading this thread whose children (like my daughter) won't take chewable vitamins, Schiff's makes a liquid multi-vitamin for kids. We buy it at V.I.T.A.C.O.S.T.com
  14. We're going to a party, I'm taking a pizza dip and Death by Chocolate (gluten-free cake pieces layered with pudding, cool whip, and heath bar).
  15. I just realized that I forgot to put the cost in my post abouve about Safeway (genuardi's)...it was $1.50 per box...the cheapest I have seen anywhere, and I almost didn't believe it so double and triple checked the sign and also when paying for it. I don't know if it will go that low again, but I check every time I go in!
  16. We love Pamela's. Only DD has celiac, but DH and I would prefer Pamela's over any other gluten pancake mix. It contains almond meal which gives it a rich, nutty flavor. I also use it to make banana chocolate chip muffins, pumpkin muffins, also as a thickener for cream based soups, and breading for chicken. Once we knew we liked it, I started buying it in...
  17. That's great! I wonder if there are any plans to expand to other Outback location...has anyone heard? It would be great to get pasta dishes and mac n cheese for DD.
  18. We went to Uno's in North Wales, PA, tonight to try the pizza. DD3 is the celiac in our home, but she wanted a kids' cheeseburger, which she really enjoyed. They knew not to send it out with a bun, the server talked about preventing cc with us. I am not gluten-free, but I ordered the pizza because I was so curious and I thought DD might want to try it...
  19. The General Mills website now lists Strawberry Chex with molasses (not barley malt), so the ingredients don't contain gluten. However just an fyi for those of you who have nut allergies, the ingredients include peanut flour. I was really surprised...and bummed because I think my son is allergic to peanuts despite negative allergy testing. Just out of curiosity...
  20. Trader Joe's opened fairly recently near us and I love it. We eat their brown rice pasta (penne and fusilli) often. The mac n cheese is a dry box like Annie's, in fact the cheese packet inside said Annie's on it in small letters. I wonder if the noodles are also Annie's just labeled Trader Joe's. I made it as directed but added butter and a little Velveeta...
  21. Trader Joe's website has a statement that their suppliers follow Good Manufacturing Practices to segregate ingredients on shared equpiment. We like TJ's plain/gluten-free and banana/gluten-free waffles...DD eats them without problems. I think Van's are dry and crumbly.
  22. I don't like Ian, but DD does, so I occasionally keep them in the house for a quick meal for her. Most of the time, I try to make chicken nuggets at home and freeze a big batch. I cut boneless breasts into small pieces, dip in egg, then a mixture of crushed Rice Chex, potato chips (or cornmeal), garlic powder, salt, pepper, and paprika. I bake them for...
  23. i found it on sale at genuardi's (safeway) earlier this week, but the sale is over. so keep you eye out there, too!
  24. My kids like Envirokids Crispy Bars--berry or chocolate. They also have peanut butter which we don't like as much. I order them off Amazon for a good price, but our Costco just started carrying a multipack with the chocolate and peanut butter bars.
  25. The Trader Joe's is opening on November 14! I am making my shopping list--thank you for all of your suggestions above. Any other favorites???
