  1. Eczema is so hard because it's the itch that rashes. My dd has struggled with eczema her whole life until the last year. Now that we got the wheat and gluten out of her diet, we're down to the environmental triggers. She also tested + to wheat and rice on the allergy testing. I use sorghum flour to replace anything that says rice flour. We also have...

    ARCHIVED Applebee's

    We also had terrible luck the couple of times that we ate at Applebees.
  3. Prayers for your SIL, baby and family!
  4. My dd also vomits when she accidentally gets glutened. It, also, goes on for hours. Her celiac testing was inconclusive by the allergist. But since going gluten-free, it only happens now once in a while when she accidentally gets something.
  5. I had many failed hockey pucks at the beginning. For awhile, while getting the hang of it all, I just made banana muffins. I found a recipe that she liked and began making them as muffins, then in mini -loaf pans. Finally I stumbled on the advice to mix the liquid first and add the dry ingredients to it. When it's almost together, I kick it to high and...
  6. Congratulations Aunt Jillian!! Babies are SUCH fun!!
  7. Do you sub the guar on a 1:1 basis for the xanthan gum? Even though it is expensive, it lasts me about 3 months or so. Paula ~ I also got a lot of cook books from the library. I have only bought a few. Bette Hagman and also Carol Fenster are great. Also the Incredible Edible book by Shari Sanderson.
  8. The best banana bread recipe that we love is at Carol Fenster's website (savorypalate.com). I hope that works because the last time I tried to post a website, the forum gods turned into a "lame advertisement". I usually make it as mini-loafs or muffins. All of us like it (gluten eaters and the non gluten eater). Welcome to the boards! Hope you are...

  10. I watched both shows last night. I thought it was one of the better nights, except for Jordin. I love Bon Jovi! I was kind of sad about Phil and Chris because I really liked their songs, for once. I really did not like what Blake did with his song. I thought it was terrible, but am glad that the voters must not have agreed with me! I really like...
  11. Great idea!! I'm going to look around here and see what I can find!!
  12. Congratulations Aunt Amanda!! Silvia is adorabe and your sister and bil look so happy!!
  13. whoops ~ I guess we're not allowed to put links to websites now?! Sorry!! I guess if anyone wants to check the link out, then PM me.
  14. I wish you were going to be going a bit further south. We went to South FL last December and ate at a great place called Pizza Fusion. It was expensive, but so worth it for my dd to get to have pizza at a restaurant! She loved it and wants ME to open a franchise where we live, lol! I would consider it, if I had the $$. Check out their website www...
  15. That's interesting... I have been really paying attention and trying to pick things without HFCS and also partially hydrogenated oils. It's not easy! Julie ~ my dd also has multiple food allergies!! You and I are in the same boat!
  16. Noone went home last night ~ but Ryan had everyone stand and declared them safe one by one until it was only Chris and Jordin left. Then he said that because it was a charity night noone was going home. Next week the bottom 2 will go home though.
  17. Forgot to add: Amanda ~ have a safe and wonderful trip! How exciting for your family!! Prayers for your sister to have a safe delivery!! I just LOVE babies!!
  18. I used to have a sourdough started that only had water, sugar, yeast and potato flakes in it. It was very delicious. I wonder if it would work gluten-free. Although, it isn't the "traditional" sourdough taste like you'd buy at a bakery. Hmm....
  19. ((Hugs)) That's ridiculous to leave it to the last minute like this! I'm very interested in how this all turns out. In our district, all the 5th graders go on a week long trip too. Not a problem for my son, who will go next fall. But it will be a huge problem for my dd in a few years. I've already been thinking about it. Can she have access to...
  20. Oh, good. I'm glad that I'm not the only ones that doesn't like what they did last night!! That was just not right!! AFA the rest of the show, I really enjoyed the singing. I was sobbing through a lot of the tape of the kids and people in Africa. So sad!! My kids were really affected by the 12 year old boy and his sister who are orphans and on their...
  21. Hi Paula ~ just wanted to let you know that you and your neighbors are still in my prayers. We lost one of our guinea pigs last week and it has been really hard on my kids. Not the same as loosing your friend, but a loss just the same.
  22. I'm so glad that you were able to help her, Amanda! I agree, that must be very unnerving to be so new to the country and not know anyone! I know how lost I felt when I moved from FL to MN with DH and knew noone. I can't imagine moving to another country. My neighbors are from India too. They are very kind people. Maybe this will be the start of...
  23. Oh, man! Great idea, Angie!! Last year, before we went on vacation, I spent HOURS making hot dog and hamburger buns with the tin foil for Carleigh. And then, I ended up with a bunch left over because she wanted no bun! I'm going to try it your way AND dig that cook-book back out for some new ideas!!
  24. No stinking way! Seriously, he got a record deal?!?! That really cracks me up!! Angie ~ I'm with you....Chris's time is up, but Phil better be right behind him. And, hey, I love the new avatar and the Marcia Brady voice! Amanda ~ good luck getting your self evaluation done. Those are hard!! I have to work tonight so TIVO better...
  25. I have told a couple of friends about it simply because periods came up in conversation. I sent the link to the one that was most interested in it. Funny to say, but DH didn't even know I was at "that time of the month" this time until it was nearly over. Jeanne ~ glad that this month was easier for you now that the stem is gone! Sunny...
