    We went to Disneyland in December 2006. We took one day to go to Universal Studios. We went to a place that was a Pizza Hut/Chinese place/something else. It was not during peak hours. Around 1:30pm, I think. I said that we had a child on a special diet and could the guy please show this to the chef. I gave him a Triumph dining card. It was English on one...

    Really? You've seen gluten-free status on Great Value brands? Are you in BC? I've yet to notice the gluten-free label on Great Value brand in Canada.

    Have a wonderful grandma/granddaughter trip, and congrats on your Easter surprise!

    How timely. Ty went to a party at Chuck E. Cheese last February, and he's going tomorrow for a friend's party. He's 8 and is well versed in washing hands before/after everything. Actually, tomorrow is a busy day for him, and I hope he doesn't starve. He has a friend who had two extra tickets to the monster truck show, so he and another boy from his class...

    Hi All, My husband is travelling to Aspen, Colorado next week for work (Winter X Games) and while he's there he usually goes shopping for cereal and brings back 8 or 10 boxes for Ty. I'm trying to compile a list for him to see if he can find something other than Fruity/Cocoa Pebbles. What kinds of Saturday morning sugar cereals are available...

    We tried the Oatmeal Chocolate chip cookies, but my kids weren't crazy about them. They prefer these ones: Gramma's Dad's Cookies 2 cups white sugar 1 cup brown sugar 2 cups margarine 2 eggs 2 cups coconut 2 1/2 cups oatmeal 3 cups flour 2 teaspoons baking soda 2 teaspoons baking powder make into balls and if you want, flatten with...

    Lisa - I disagree. I think that "natural flavours" is the biggest red flag on a list of ingredients. I have called many companies about "natural flavour" and it's always been barley/malt flavouring. I will continue to call when I see natural flavour on the list and I think because you are so senstive that you should be very careful still. We need Health Canada...

    As long as the chips are real potatoes fried in a dedicated fryer away from the fish (not the same oil), they should be fine, just watch out for seasoning salts. If I make fries, I just cut potatoes into chips, toss with a bit of oil, paprika, thyme, oregano, salt, pepper, whatever and bake them at 450F for about 25 minutes or so, turning after 15 minutes...

    7:00 am? That's late. Here they were lined up since about 4 or 5 a.m. at Best Buy and Future Shop. As for me, I had Christmas Eve and Day off and then had to come in to work early today because someone else called in sick. At least it's time and half.

    My point wasn't to be misleading to Canadian consumers of Wendy's fries, but simply to point out that while the fries may be on the American list, they are not on the Canadian list. If it's not on the gluten free list I assume it contains gluten or comes into contact with gluten. We have not eaten at Wendy's since my son's diagnosis simply because he'd rather...

    Please note that Wendy's fries are NOT gluten free in Canada (dedicated fryer or not). Open Original Shared Link

    My first thought was, "What!? Peter GIVES advice, he doesn't ASK for it!" To answer your question, we use pan drippings, add some chicken bouillion cubes/powder and then add a sweet rice flour & water mix (shake well before adding). We usually add pepper, but I don't add salt since bouillion seems salty to me. Knorr Veloutine is gluten-free and...

    Our school does a cookie dough fundraiser every year, and that company doesn't even offer gluten-free cookies. When Ty was in kindergarten, I took the sheet to work and sold TONS of it. At the school they said if there were a prize for selling the most, Ty would have won. By grade one, he was diagnosed celiac and when they handed out the fundraising sheet...

    I use the leftovers from Lorka's flax bread recipe. I collect the "heels" and when I have enough I process them into crumbs and keep them in the freezer. Lorka's Flax Bread (my flour combination included here. Lorka's original recipe here: Open Original Shared Link ) 1/4 cup garfava flour 1/2 cup potato starch 1/4 cup cornstarch 1/4 cup flaxmeal...

    Canada Corn Starch is gluten-free (eh!). It's made by a company called ACH (from the states, I believe) and says gluten-free on the label, but it's hard to find the words gluten-free. I just opened a pkg tonight to make breadsticks and even though it's my regular brand, I can't remember what it looks like. It's light yellow, for sure, and has some blue on...

    I once asked Ty's ped GI when/if we would run follow up blood tests to check how we are doing with following the diet, avoiding cc, etc. He said unless we suspected him of cheating, we probably wouldn't run another blood test for a while because false positives can occur if a rookie is interpreting the test. I'm not sure exactly which of the blood tests he...

    I don't know how to do it, but I wanted to make sure you let us know your user name so we can find all your recipes.

    It used to be free until Disney bought it.

    This is my MIL's recipe. I just changed the flour to gluten-free oat flour and a sorghum/corn blend. Gramma's Dad's Cookies 2 cups white sugar 1 cup brown sugar 2 cups margarine 2 eggs 2 cups coconut 2 1/2 cups oatmeal 3 cups flour 2 teaspoons baking soda 2 teaspoons baking powder make into balls and if you want, flatten with a fork...

    Make sure you double check your Burger King. None of the Burger Kings I've encountered have dedicated fryers. All the ones near us cook onion rings in the same fryer as the fries.

    I've discovered that all cookies should be refrigerated 30 minutes at least before baking. (Even though the cookbooks never tell you to do it.)

    Happy birthday Lisa!

    Done..it's fine. Haven't tried that. I never open the door, I check with the oven light and they look great, then two or five or however many minutes later they've collapsed. The recipe (I halved it...instructions said it was possible to halve it) calls for milk and an egg blended together and then take a tablespoon out and discard it. I followed...

    I've tried to make the chocolate fudge cake (cupcakes) about 6 times. I have NEVER gotten them to turn out yet . I emailed the foodphilosopher.com website and Annalise herself called me with some tips. Watch the liquid to flour ratio and add more flour or decrease liquid as needed and don't overbeat the mix were her suggestions. (Frankly, I can't tell if...

    Woo! Everything's back to normal. Thanks Scott.
