    I use baby Johnson's baby wash.

    I made celiac-mommy's (Rachelle's) recipe using Pamela's and then used her caramel pecan pie recipe from the karo syrup website--the pie was a huge hit with all of the gluten eaters at my DS's party! Thanks, Rachelle!

    Do you know of a good article or book excerpt that explains parts per million and the importance of preventing cross contamination? DDs grandparents (at least 3 of the 4 of them) are a bit skeptical about cc and I think something technical (and in writing) would help. I've done a little search online and looked in the few books I have, and I was hoping...

    I'd like to serve baked ziti (with ground beef or sausage) at a party, and possible at a weekend away with friends. What is the best way to prepare it ahead of time (either the day before or the morning of the party) while keeping a nice texture for the pasta. I would love to plop it in the crockpot to keep it warm after it's baked, but I'm not sure how...

    Our Halloween was really wonderful. We started the festivities with a parade and party at DD's pre-school. She was very proud to march in the parade (my little Cinderella!)...she was one of 4 Cinderellas in her class, plus 2 Tinkerbells, and 1 Sleeping Beauty. I made gluten-free sugar cookies and decorated the pumpkins, bats, cats, and ghosts with cute...

    We're planning to serve a spiral ham for ds's 1st birthday next weekend, and would like to keep the rest of the menu gluten-free. Even though dd3 is the only gluten-free one and she doesn't eat a lot of variety anyway, it would be nice if she could taste anything IF she wanted to, and less risk of cc for her with a big group. I usually make pineapple stuffing...

    I made the Pumpkin Cream Cheese spread/dip that Rachelle posted/linked above for a class tonight. Everyone loved it and requested the recipe. I highly recommend it! I served it with apple slices, Mi-Del ginger snaps, pretzels, and graham cracker dippers (it wasn't a gluten-free gathering).

    We have been eating so much rice since DD was diagnosed, it seems that a rice cooker might be a good option for me. I often use a crockpot for the main dish, but then have trouble timing the rice just perfectly with all of the other things going on with the kids in the meantime. So, for those of you who have rice cookers...do you recommend them? Any particular...

    These cookies are really good! The best part is that DD3 ate them--I was able to sneak some pumpkin into her I told her they were chocolate chip cookies because she is really hesitant to try new foods. Vitamins, fiber...and she had no idea! I did add extra chocolate chips (we're calorie boosting for DD), about 3/4 to 1 cup in total. I also only used...

    We tried Bob's Red Mill pizza crust mix tonight and we liked it. You can order it online and on Amazon. It was very easy to make, I needed something quick b/c we were ordering (gluten) pizza for my sister's birthday and I needed gluten-free pizza for DD. I froze the extra slices so I can pull them out of the freezer for a quick dinner for DD or when we...

    Thank you so, so much everyone! I am making my list from all that you've suggested--everything sounds so good!! I am so excited to go shopping when our store opens!

    I think Trader Joe's is opening a store near us. I've heard it mentioned a lot on this forum so I'm wondering if you can post your favorite things you buy there...Trader Joe's brand or other brand products. I want to be prepared when the store opens! I know there is a gluten-free list of their products on their website, but I'm curious what everyone here...

    When DD was diagnosed (at age 2.5), I met with her daycare/preschool director, teachers, and lunch woman/chef. I gave them lists of common things she can and can't have and explained the importance of preventing cross contamination. We decided it would be best for me to send in all meals and snacks, except for plain fruit/veggies that they served. We also...

    ARCHIVED Philadelphia, Pa

    stolly replied to bmzob's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    The National Foundation for Celiac Awareness is sponsoring Appetite for Awareness at the Wachovia Center next week on 9/24...about 20-30 or so restuarants from Philadelphia will be there cooking and offering samples of their gluten free food. Sounds like a great place to check out your gluten-free options in Philly. DD3 is the celiac in our house, but DH...

    Welcome and know that this will get much easier over time. I was very overwhelmed at DD's diagnosis, and things are much much easier now. Our DD3 is in preschool and I send in the gluten free equivalent of all meals and snacks, except for plain fruit/vegetables, which her school serves to her (we've thoroughly discussed cross contamination issues, and...

    The pretzels were fabulous last night, but the flavor and texture is not so good today. Microwaving didn't help, but toasting did. These are definitely best right out of the oven, but my DD did eat a whole pretzel at school today anyway. I froze the rest of them tonight, I plan to microwave and then toast them as needed.

    I just made this recipe below and it's fabulous! I had to change it slighty because the dough was way too dry and crumbly, it wouldn't roll without breaking--so I added 1 Tbsp oil and some water (approx 1/2-3/4 cup water, I'm not sure, I didn't measure). Let them cool 5-10 minutes after baking--the flavor is better than right out of the oven. I sprinkled...

    We love pancakes from Pamela's Baking and Pancake Mix. DD is gluten free, DH and I aren't, but we think they're better than gluten version. They're so good!!

    We make crackers from Chebe mix and cheddar cheese. We cut them in shapes with cookie cutters like goldfish, Mickey Mouse...you could easily do little squares. The taste is not exactly like Cheeze Its or Goldfish, but my daughter likes them. I send them into school when they have crackers as a snack.

    I made this corn bread with chili last night...it was very moist and great flavor. Hubby said he likes corn bread sweeter, so I'll add a little more sugar next time and see how that works out. Open Original Shared Link

    We had a good experience at Harrah's in their Reflections Cafe. I called a few days ahead of time and spoke with the chef on duty (Chef James), who ordered a few gluten free specialty items for my DD (pasta, waffles). Call several days to a week ahead so they have enough time to order what you'd like. Chef James said to only order your meal with the chef...

    I love making homemade pizza dough, but often don't have time to do it right before dinner. Will it turn out ok if I make it a few hours ahead of time? I wasn't sure if it would rise too much with the yeast. If ok, should I refrigerate it or let it sit at room temperature before baking? Also curious...can I freeze the dough? If so, should I pop it...

    DD3 has celiac, we're staying with my family at Harrah's (Atlantic City, NJ) for two nights next week, and we'll be spending most of our time at the beach and boardwalk in Ocean City, NJ. I spoke with one of the chefs at Harrah's, they seem to be very knowledgeable and accomodating, so I plan to eat there for several meals. Just wondering if anyone has had...

    Oops- I'm sorry, I forgot to include 1 tsp xanthan gum in the ingredients...and I'm having trouble figuring out how to edit my post.

    I made strawberry muffins tonight--I was trying to make something different and I needed to use up some strawberries. It's a combination of a few recipes I've seen online. They're pretty tasty. I think you could sub in any fruit, nut, or chocolate chips. Next time I plan to vary the flours for something more nutritious, and maybe add some flax seed meal...
