    No, it's a flat one piece pan - NOT the one that actually makes a "stand up" cake that looks like a cupcake, rather... one that will lay flat on a 13x9 cakeboard. Thanks for all the suggestions. I really appreciate it. I'll let ya know how it turns out!

    I picked up a box of the cinnamon ones just the other day - both the Cinnamon AND Chocolate had barley malt in them. I put them right back on the shelf.

    I feel for you. I'm in a somewhat similar situation. My three children and I are gluten free, but my husband isn't. However, until the beginning of this year, my older son was still eating gluten. He has been tested every year since my daughter's diagnosis and last year his came back equivocal - this year they came back positive. He's 11, for what it...

    I just wanted to sing the praises of Royal Caribbean, Rhapsody of the Seas. My husband and I took an Alaskan cruise last month, and we had an absolutely fantastic time. In the Windjammer cafe there was always gluten free poundcake.... something I'd never had before, and LOVED! Our waitstaff, in the main dining room, was excellent. Every night they had...

    My daughter just turned 8 last week and is having her bday party this coming Sunday. Originally I had planned to make a regular cake in a shaped pan, for her guests, and then a bunch of her favorite cupcakes. However, she informed me that she wants the BIG cake to be gluten free. The problem I have is that most cakes I've made, thus far, have been...

    To me, it doesn't look like you are reacting to gluten. Your numbers are all in the negative category and you aren't IgA deficient. That doesn't mean you aren't intolerant, it just means you aren't producing antibodies to gliadin. Yes, you can be intolerant without having Celiac. I asked the same question about the antibodies a couple years ago. Someone...

    By all means, let me know! I'm going to try baking them at a higher temperature to encourage quicker "setting up" - and I'll see how that works. If that helps, I'll let YOU know! =)

    So, I tried making a vegan sugar cookie for my kiddos this evening. and they didn't turn out quite like they should. Here's my question/problem. I used Arrowhead Mills gluten-free flour blend, and that blend has baking powder in it. The recipe called for baking powder... so I added it. Do you think that could be why my cookies didn't turn out?? Basically...

    My 3 year old has been tested, every year, for Celiac since it runs in our family. His pediatrician is wonderful and is keeping a good eye on him. The test results came back, and again... they are negative as can be for Celiac. However, RAST allergy testing shows that he's allergic to WBRO. Unreal. He's also allergic to peanuts, eggs, dairy, and soy...

    That's awesome! My daughter often takes gluten-free pasta, fresh fruit, and veggie chips... with the occassional gluten-free cookie treat. She tells me that kids always want her lunch... LOL!!!! I find it totally amusing. =) I think our little Celiac kiddos eat much better lunches, in school, than their "healthy" classmates. (OK, not intending to mean...

    If you chop it up really small.... would they even know it was there?? =) I didn't peel mine first...and I left it in rather large chunks, so it was easy to see. However, if you peeled it... and chopped it, they'd never know. I have a pic of it on my "foodie blog" - I took it when it came right out of the oven. Have a peek! goodnessandgoodies.blogspot...

    Mine too, I just love it. Of course, I was accused of "overdoing it" with this recipe, but hey.... it was called for, imo! =)

    I made this pie this evening... and it was SOOOO good that I had to share. For the record, I'm vegetarian... but for the time being, still consume eggs and dairy. This gluten free vegetarian dish contains both, so it's lacto-ovo. My husband even liked it.... so, I consider it a HUGE success!! =) I got the recipe from The Gluten Free Vegetarian Kitchen...

    We carry epi pens for both my daughter and younger son. However, it's not due to Celiac at all. My daughter IS one of the minority who is Celiac AND allergic to wheat. But, the wheat allergy isn't anaphylactic. She is, however, anaphylactic to peanuts... which is why we have the pens. psawyer is right... celiacs don't need epi pens, unless they have food...

    Thank you! Yes... I forgot that all important word!!! Iceburg lettuce would count as a leafy green, but surely not a healthy one!! Sorry about that! =)
  16. jayhawkmom
    Leafy greens are high in calcium!!
  17. jayhawkmom
    I agree here. If you are eating it, and not having problems at current.... you might want to taper off on your consumption in an effort to ward off any possible reactions. My kids react immediately....and violently. That's how we identified their allergies, initially. What a nightmare. Anyhow... I also use Sunbutter, since I love peanut butter but can...

    I would avoid them until able to talk to your doctor. Do you eat them regularly?? My two younger children are allergic to peanuts and it's a LIFE threatening allergy. I would not mess around with elevated IgE levels to peanut protein.

    Another gluten-free veggie here! =) Though, admittedly... I'm a new veggie. I've been vegetarian for a month now, I gave up eating meat for a variety of reasons. Anyhow, I've already found two cookbooks that I LOVE - The Gluten-Free Vegetarian Kitchen by Donna Klein and The Gluten-Free Vegan by Susan O'Brien. I am not vegan, (yet anyhow) but my...

    I am trying a recipe for 5-ingredient potato lasagna this evening. It's basically just spaghetti sauce, sliced potatoes, mozzarella, parmesan, and cottage cheese. =)

    Sunbutter is the brand... I think. Open Original Shared Link It's awesome!! I use coconut oil in baking, I also use it for frying... and skin care! =)

    Here's some info regarding the fructose in agave: Taken from the very same website listed above. I think that natural sweeteners are healthier than chemical laden man made sweeteners.

    Since my kids are allergic to dairy, and sensitive to soy.... we use a dairy free/soy free margarine. It's called Mother's - and it's Kosher for Passover, so I'm not sure you can buy it "just anywhere" or at any time of the year. I stock up and put it in the freezer. Obviously, this probably won't help you NOW.... but for future reference.... Anyhow, it...

    I agree, not all Celiacs are short. My grandfather was well over 6' tall. I'm 5'6" and taller than both my parents. My sister, however, is only 5'2". My 7 year old Celiac isn't even on the growth charts for her age.... however, she IS following her own growth curve now. Before going gluten-free, she was all over the place... but never where she should...
  25. jayhawkmom
    Yep, I ditto that. Sunbutter - my preference is the honey/crunch kind. Why? Because 2 of my three kids are allergic to peanuts... but I love peanut butter. Sunbutter tastes incredibly close to PB, without being a risk to my children. $6.99 a jar. Gosh, I'm sure I have more... but my mind just went blank. Geez, I guess I'd better eat some lunch or...
