Luvs to Scrap

I had the health food store order if for me a case a time. Some of the bigger health food stores where we live stock some of it anyway. Tinkyada is the most wonderful thing--totally saved my sanity now that we are gluten-free at our house. Kendra

Thanks for your encouragement, Nancy. DH said that we do eat some stuff already that will work so I asked him to mention them as he thinks of them so I won't feel so overwhelmed and can make a list of ok things I already know how to make. Kendra

Wow! This thread is a source of inspiration for ideas! We will be going off casein and soy in a week once I get organize and it is great to find so many ideas in one place. Now I just need to figure out how to print the thread. . . Kendra

I don't know if this is what you mean but I saw this at the healthfood store in IA near my parent's house and bought it and was going to try in that recipe. It is made by Glutino and has the website glutino.com listed on it. The product is called Chicken Flavored Soup base. My son just got diagnosed as soy and casein intollerant in addition to gluten...

Hugs and welcome to the forum. My DH has been on the gluten-free diet since Oct 2005 and my DS since last June. I am by no means an expert but I will try to answer some of your ?s. If you want a recipe let me know. The first couple months were the worst for me. It does get better although I still have my days! Right now I am adjusting to the shock that...

Luke has been gluten-free since last June from a blood test. After doing more blood work in Aug and then the pediatrician wanting us to but Luke back on a regular diet for 6 months to see how sick he got and then do the scope we decided to save up for Enterolab. We just got his results back last night and I think I know what they mean but I want to make...

I agree that having the dr talk o the nursing home about needing to be strict with the diet would be helpful. For some reason some people just don't believe people who live with the diet every day. Your post made me realize how lucky we are with the nursing home in town where my DH grandma lives. Someone comes in and makes her special bread and they are...

Amen to the gluten-free Gourmet cookbooks and that pizza crust recipe! Both have been a lifesaver here. I altered the recipe to use buttermilk and melted butter instead of shortening and milk. It makes the dough batter less runny and easier for me to spread. We also bake the crust for 10 minutes before topping it and then another 8 minutes after the sauce...

I can empathize with you too. My husband and son are the ones with celiac but I do all of the cooking and most of the work in the kitchen. The first few weeks are the worst and then it does get better once you catch on to what is safe, where to buy things and what tastes decent. My DH's favorite meals are the ones where I can make something naturally gluten...

Bette Hagman's Gluten Free Gourmet cookbooks have been a lifesaver for me. I make bread, biscuits, cookies, cakes, muffins, pizza, and lots more. gluten-free Betsy from this forum sent me her website--I think it is eatingglutenfree.com or something like that. Anyway so far all the recipes I have tried from her have been great. The chocolate cake was better...

I love my crockpot for roasts, made dressing/stuffing in it for Thanksgiving, and lots of other things. Of of the things I make a lot once it is getting cold is Ham and Beans. It is awesome in the crockpot because you don't have to soak the beans first. 2 cups beans (washed and sorted) 7 cups water ham pieces (I think I put somewhere between...

I can totally emphathize with you about thinking the school was "getting it" and then having an art project come home. Luke's was various pasta (not Crispix) but the same idea. I know it wasn't gluten free. Every time I talk to his teacher she acts like she understands--I guess her mom was gluten-free for awhile but I am thinking they probably weren't...
