    Here are some of my favorite blogs: someone mentioned Elana's Pantry - love her site because all her recipes are easy and don't require a lot of ingredients (she does usually only use one flour). Www.Lillianstestkitchen.com has fun cooking videos. I also love www.chocolatecoveredkatie.com. It's not strictly gluten free but most of her recipes have the...

    Another trick I've read is using club soda for the water. I've never tried it, but I can't imagine it would hurt!

    Thanks for the replies! Mamaw, I checked out the reviews for this cookbook and it looks like it was designed for a specific type of bread machine - not the one I have (the Cuisinart). If anyone has tried her recipes for the Cuisinart, can you let me know if it worked for you and what adjustments you made? The reviews I read on Amazon so far say her recipe...

    Hi - I recently got a bread machine with a gluten free setting and I love it! I've had really good luck with Pamela's bread mix, but would really like to use my own ingredients to save $. Does anyone have a tried and true bread machine recipe? I've tried some recipes off the internet and just threw it in the bread machine instead. I came close with...

    I bake the nuts at 350 for about 8 minutes, then I let them cool slightly. I process them while they are warm but not hot. I wonder if the temperature helps? Do you have a high quality processor? I wonder if your food processor isn't strong enough (I use a cuisinart). It takes me less than 10 minutes in mine, and I've never had any problems adding maple...

    We usually pack our food too. But it's nice to have options when I don't have my act together. I love that Jason's has gluten free bread and wish other chains would have that option.

    We are in Orlando so sadly no In n Out or Red Robin for us . He won't do Asian food either. We've actually been working in therapy to increase his food options and he's come a long long way but still very limited.

    Hi - Any suggestions for quick meals out for my 5 year old? Super picky so will only do grilled cheese and PBJ or a cheeseburger with no bun. Right now we do Jason's, Wendy's, and 5 Guys but looking for other options. I was surprised that so many places add wheat to their burgers! BTW he is gluten free bc of his autism, not celiac. Small amounts of gluten...

    My son is autistic. We transitioned VERY slowly to gluten free which made it easier for us but I suspect that's why we didn't see any significant behavior changes. But every time we try to add it back, we see huge changes in behavior. Meltdowns (which is actually not common for him), "spacy", hyper, and emotional. We even did a test once where we didn...

    I don't know about the cookbook, but love this website: www.chocolatecoveredkatie.com. All her recipes are vegan. She is not gluten free but every recipe I've ever seen her publish either is or includes modifications.

    I'm so sorry that you got sick! We go to Babycakes a lot as we live in Orlando. But my son has a gluten intolerance related to his autism and not celiac. Cross contamination doesn't seem to affect him. I wonder if they use an unusual flour or other ingredient that you are reacting to.

    There are a couple of boxed brands at my local health food store - sorry I can't remember the names. But I thought they tasted really bad. Amy's frozen was better. Can she do nuts? I do either the "Oh Geez Mac and Cheese" from Chocolate Covered Katie or the "5 minute mac and cheese" from Spunky Coconut. Both use nuts as their base. I should tell you...

    Our son may be different b/c he has a gluten intolerance vs celiac, but we typically don't see any changes till 2 days after eating gluten.

    We use Almond Breeze and Silk (whichever is on sale) with no apparent problems. But my son did appear to have a reaction to Rice Dream's rice milk. In case you are interested, super easy to make your own. Just blanch the almonds, slide off the skin, and do a 4:1 ratio almonds to water ratio in a good blender, then put through a nut milk bag. I like to...

    Gluten most certainly affects my 4 year old's behavior! He's actually not celiac - on gluten-free diet for his autism. When he has a lot of gluten, he has major meltdowns (usually he's very easygoing), he's spaced out, and defiant. We've tried several gluten "tests" and always have the same results. I was actually upset about it because I was hoping that...

    My son is on a gluten free diet for his autism, not celiac so our case may be different. We have mostly eliminated food dyes except the very, very rare occasion. I also have started baking sugar free at home (use honey, maple syrup, etc. for sweetener). I don't know that I noticed a big difference when I cut it out, but I noticed an increase in hyperactivity...

    Did they include their frosting recipe? Too bad it didn't come out well. We have a Babycakes near us and their stuff is really good, but expensive. I would love to duplicate their frosting, but read online that the frosting they make in their bakery includes an ingredient that you can't find commercially.

    You are all so helpful! I really liked the cookie idea so I made some and put them in the freezer, but I'm going to make something else from this thread too - they all look so good I'll have to decide what. There can never be too much dessert with my family. Maybe we should just skip Christmas dinner completely and go straight to dessert.
  19. Kelleybean
    My parents and in-laws are coming for Christmas dinner. I'm going to make a chocolate pie but want to do another dessert. My 4 year old is the only one that's gluten free, but I want him to be able to eat whatever is on the table. Since it's going to be very chaotic with everyone here, it'd help if it was easy. Any favorite gluten free recipes out there...

    I love both the Spunky Coconut and Elana's Pantry websites! I have made Elana's "paleo bread" several times. It was pretty good, although it didn't rise that much. So I think way better with butter or peanut butter on it vs. making a sandwich. I can't seem to keep grapeseed oil around without it going rancid, so I subbed coconut oil. I also just got...

    Have you ever tried crystallized ginger? That almost always helps my nausea.
  22. Kelleybean
    I don't know of a brand you can get at the store, but Elana's Pantry (www.elanaspantry.com) has a good bread recipe (I think it's called "Paleo Bread") with almond flour. It's super easy to make.

    "Green Lemonade" - Juice of a lemon, large handful of spinach, little chunk of fresh ginger, a little water, honey, and some ice.

    I actually sprung for a yogurt maker and make my own now. I've read, but never tried, that you can do it in a crockpot or even with a heating pad. My other thought is that she might have an issue with dairy? My son does ok with cheese, but when we used to give him milk he would be up all night. This isn't dietary, but some of my friends have had good...

    I thought of something else ... can he have soy? My son is very open to tofu.
