    I'm sorry, you must be overwhelmed b/c toddlers can be so picky in general so it's extra tough when you add a lot of allergies to the mix. You might want to check out this website: www.spunkycoconut.com. I'm thinking about her b/c she uses coconut flour a lot, and also has some egg free recipes. Pretty sure she doesn't use corn in her recipes either. ...

    I don't think it's necessary but a stand up mixer is definitely helpful. I have the Kitchen Aid too. At first I felt bad spending the money but I use it ALL the time - like someone else said, sometimes several times a day. I make cookie dough, pizza dough, muffins, etc. in under 5 minutes. Love it.

    We do sunbutter or peanut butter on Udi's bread a lot. I found a recipe using gluten-free muffin mix and add mashed northern beans for protein (I sneak in baby food squash or other veggie b/c I have a little veggie hater). You could do grilled "cheese" on Udi's bread with Tofutti cream cheese. I'm going to try a lunchable type thing this week - make some...

    I just got the Almond Flour Cookbook by Elana Amsterdam. I'm loving it! Made her snickerdoodles the other day with some substitutions (coconut oil for grapeseed oil) and they were amazing. I like that she doesn't tend to use long lists of ingredients in her recipes so they go together really fast. She also has a website - www.elanaspantry.com.

    We do bean patties a lot. I go ahead and do northern beans from scratch but even canned (rinsed and drained) is inexpensive. Mash and add some gluten-free bread crumbs, a beaten egg, some spices (I usually do Italian seasoning), form into patties and fry on both sides in a bit of olive oil. Also vegetarian chili is super cheap, makes a lot, and freezes...

    I have a super picky 3 year old too - drives me crazy! Some stuff that has worked for us ... Udi's bread has by far been his favorite. We do grilled "cheese" sandwiches with Tofutti Better than Cream Cheese for the cheese. Van's waffles, Applegate Farms hotdogs, and like someone else said the Envirokids cereals (he just likes it dry). I also make the...

    Might be too late for you tonight, but we really like roasted chickpeas. Super healthy and easy. Open Original Shared Link Also made the artichoke and spinach dip from the Spunky Coconut for Christmas, served with some gluten free crackers to dip.

    Hi - My 3 year old son is autistic, not celiac, so I may not be a good person to respond b/c our situations are different. But his primary issues are a language delay, social issues (not knowing how to interact with peers), and repetitive behavior (spinning objects, opening and closing doors, etc.). We had him tested and he did not show a wheat allergy...

    My son is the one who is gluten free and he likes Udi's, but he really hasn't known anything else. This may not help much if you are looking to do a sandwich, but I've had much better luck with quick bread type things (banana bread, pumpkin bread, carrot bread, zucchini bread, etc.) than the white. Pancakes, muffins, and waffles have all worked well too...

    My son will be 4 in March and is super picky too, so I feel your pain! Here are some things that work for him ... Van's waffles, Applegate Farms hotdogs, muffins (I can sneak veggies in there), sweet potato fries, scrambled eggs, deviled eggs, bean dip (there's a great bean dip recipe by the Spunky Coconut that uses cashews instead of cream cheese), PB&...

    Hi - We're going to visit my sister in Washington DC. She tells me that there are a lot of gluten free bakeries. It is ridiculous how excited I am since the one where I live closed a while back. Does anyone have a favorite they can recommend?
  12. Kelleybean
    I pack the shelf-stable packages of almond milk (my son can't do cow's milk). Gluten free granola bars, like someone else suggested a loaf of Udi's bread and peanut butter. gluten-free crackers or rice cakes topped with cream cheese or peanut butter or almond butter. I've heard 5 guys and Jason's are fairly gluten free friendly. I think Wendy's has...

    My son doesn't like meat either except the occasional hotdog. Here are some things that we do ... 1) Beans - I make bean patties. I mash a can of rinsed and drained northern beans, add some gluten-free bread crumbs, a bean egg, and some Italian seasoning. Then form patties and pan fry in some olive oil. We also do bean dip from the Spunky Coconut....

    My son is autistic. Are there any websites that outline the diet? I want to research it more. I have friends who put their son on the low-oxalate diet and it helped him a lot. I've thought about trying it but hesitant because my son is so picky and this gluten free diet alone has been so tough!

    Thanks, everyone!

    Hi - Does anyone either have a good recipe or know of a mix for a sugar cookie? I did a forum search and found someone recommending a recipe using Betty Crocker's yellow cake mix for sugar cookies which sounds great because it's easy, but was worried it wouldn't stand up to the whole rolling out and cookie cutter thing since I'm assuming they might be...

    Thanks, Peter!

    OK, sorry to keep asking all these questions about meatballs! Hopeless cook question ... to do the bread crumbs, I am going to do what I usually do - use Udi's bread heels and put them in the blender. For a pound of ground beef, how many pieces of bread (or how many cups of bread crumbs) do I use? How long do I bake them? They won't have sauce b/c his...

    Love the peanut butter sauce idea - that's one of my favorite things to put on pasta. The Spunky Coconut website has a recipe for "5 minute mac and cheese" that we make sometimes. There's no dairy - she uses cashews to get a creamy sauce.

    I will probably have to make my own. Not opposed to it, was only thinking about frozen b/c I can't explain it but frozen meatballs have a different texture than homemade. More consistent, sometimes softer. My son is autistic and getting him to try new things can be a challenge. I want to maximize my chance of success here b/c him eliminating an entire...

    My 3 y.o. son is super sensitive to texture and refuses all meat except hotdogs. I want to try again to introduce him to meat and was thinking that I might have the greatest success with ground beef. Are there any gluten-free frozen meatballs out there? I was thinking frozen because the texture is softer and fairly uniform, and I'm pretty sure that's why...

    I'm with you! My 3 year old son is gluten free, limited dairy and I find the dairy so much harder to work around!
  23. Kelleybean
    Also check out www.spunkycoconut.com. I made banana bread for my 3 1/2 year old last week and I liked it better than the gluten version, and my son asked for it for 3 days straight after it was gone. Also love the vanilla bean cake recipe with the chocolate frosting.

    My son is a very picky eater - won't do meat at all except a hotdog every once in a while. I've been making tofu lately and that has been really good. I get extra-firm and squeeze as much water out as I can, cut it into slabs, then blot it with paper towels. Then dredge it in some egg (milk or milk substitute would probably work too), then bread crumbs...

    Hi - Can you do beans? We make bean patties a lot - very cheap and easy. The 5 minute mac and cheese from the Spunky Coconut website (it's dairy free - she uses cashews as the base). If you need a quick meal, Amy's has a couple of vegetarian gluten-free options. I also do eggplant parmesan. For the bread crumbs I just run the heels of my gluten-free...
