    ((Hugs)) There is a definite learning curve to gluten-free bread baking. I can't tell you how many bricks, and flat bread I have make in the last few years. I have finally figured it out, and found a recipe that works. The basic recipe I use is from www.twinvalleymills.com It is a modified Bette Hagman recipe. I also have to subsitute for the eggs...

    Rachelle, Sounds great! My family went to Great Wolf in Sandusky, Ohio, last summer (near Cedar Point). It was the first food-free vacation I had in my daughter's whole life. The head chef there personally cooked and walked us through the food also. They even offered to prepare us picnic lunches for Cedar Point! We ate big breakfasts at the buffet...

    I would suggest going to the library. When my dd was first diagnosed, I checked out every gluten-free cookbook they had. I found that we liked some recipes, but not others. I did buy one cookbook called Incredible Edible Gluten-Free Food for Kids by Sheri Sanderson that has some great recipes. I've liked some Bette Hagman recipes. A lot of my recipes...

    Oh, man! You just took me back to my camp days in North Carolina. I loved Cheerwine! Haven't thought of it for years, and now I want some!

    Donna and Kassandra! Well, I live in Minnesota. It has been the longest winter in history. The thought of 100 degree temps makes me happy! Am I sick or what?

    Way cool for you guys! We ate at Pizza Fusion when we were in Florida. My daughter loved it!

    Sounds fun, Angie!! I watched part of the final show. I agree that David C. was the better choice. But, I still don't like him. I hope that next season is better than this one. I quit watching, essentially, once Michael Johns was voted off.

    Sorry to hear that, Birdy. Paula, that hasn't happened to me, but I am still ordering only the sample kits. I will say, though, that I really like sunkissed fair. It is my new favorite. I have not gone back to my old favorites because I never really had any. I really love how the EM makes my skin feel and that it doesn't feel like anything...

    Tipnpat, The allergist we go to uses the sublingual drops. We drive three hours to see them, after trying all the conventional allergists here to no avail. All they wanted to do was put her on drugs and steroids to make her comfortable. I cannot begin to tell you the difference in the quality of her life now! We did not have behavior issues,...

    Awww, poor Zoey! Prayers for her and your whole family. ((hugs))

    I don't understand why the allergist wouldn't have you remove all of those food items either, especially peanuts! Carleigh is allergic to wheat also, a 2 on the scale. That ended up being the final piece of our puzzle to get her on the way to being healthy. But, we had already eliminated all of the other foods on our list. Her celiac testing came back...

    Wow! I ordered another sample kit on Wednesday, and I received it in yesterday's mail! Obviously, it was sent USPS and not DHL! I just can't believe how fast those shipping gremlins are!! I forgot that I wanted to get another brush, though! My mom is coming to visit me next month, and I can't wait to have her try this and order her own...

    I haven't been in here for awhile. I just ordered another free sample kit yesterday. I was nearly out of my foundations. When the new site launches for real, and the bugs are all worked out, then I'll make a respectful order.

    ((hugs)) You know, if he has environmental allergies, that can really trigger the eczema also. My dd has multiple food allergies, environmental allergies, and ezcema. She is really struggling right now with the eczema and food is not the issue.

    Tamara, I have an ice cream maker, and we love it. The favorites are Dari-Free Vanilla Ice Cream and Raspberry or Lemon Sorbet. I don't know how big your maker is, but I double this recipe. Raspberry Sorbet 1 cup water 1 cup sugar 1 cup frozen raspberries 1 tsp. lemon juice Make simple syrup by heating the water and dissolving the sugar...

    That is a nice site. The pictures look great. They said that they have had good results using gluten-free flours. I think I would try one of the recipes that they have for free before spending the $$. Cake is one thing that I haven't been able to make that my daughter liked more than once. I stick to banana muffins for a sweet treat for her right now...

    Yes, SAH/WAHM = stay at home/work at home mom. GREAT idea about the temporary employment agencies, Phyllis!! Why didn't I think of that too? I did that while I was between jobs and getting ready to move. I loved the time I spent "temping".

    Your welcome. Keep us posted about what you try. Maybe you could do some tutoring and some kid-sitting. My mom is a preschool teacher and she tutors a little during the summer. She also has them break her salary down so that she still gets some pay during the summer. This will be my first year hiring someone to watch my kids for a day. I'm...

    Could you nanny for someone with elementary-aged kids? How about tutor someone over the summer? I know a girl who is lining up families that are willing to pay her to watch their kids once/week for SAH or WAHMs. I'm hiring her to watch my kids once/week while I WAH.

    Let us know how it turns out!! It would be too hard for me to sub for, but I have a friend who is only gluten-free. I will pass the recipe on to her if it turns out.

    Finally found these in my stores last week! My daughter is LOVING them! She's eating them at breakfast and taking them mixed with popcorn and Glutino pretzels for snack. I'm going to try the marshmallow treats! I better go browse that recipe site!!

    Something that has helped my bread is to preheat the oven to a low setting (200 for me), turn it off, and le t the bread rise to just below the rim of the top. Then, without touching the bread, kick the oven back on to whatever it is supposed to be (400 for me). I rise the bread for 20 minutes, and bake the bread for 20 minutes. When I take the bread...

    MMMM! Yummy! The Easter Bunny brought my daugher some candy. I used a little oil.

    I'm going to pull out her file, but I think so.
