    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...

    At Taco Bell Luke likes to get the pintos and cheese. (the tostada is also gluten-free) I often bring a EnerG Foods tapioca dinner roll along when we eat at wendys, braums, or McD and order a bunless hamburger with pickes and then he has his own bun. He also likes to dip his bunless hamburger in chili at Wendys. (My husband is gluten-free too so he always...

    Where did you find the Kraft Mac and Cheese topping? What is the size of the can? I would love to find that--would be a lot easier that buying those microscopic boxes of gluten-free Mac and Cheese? Thanks! Kendra

    I'm 33 so I'm not actually your age either but we live south of Wichita. MY DH (31) and DS (4) are on the gluten free diet and my DD (1 1/2) and I eat a little gluten now and then. DH has been gluten-free for a year now and DS has been gluten-free since June. I'm a Iowa native who married a Kansan so here I am around a bunch of wheat. Welcome to the...

    Stacie, I can totally empathize with getting frustrated about being the one doing all the work for your DH's diet. That would be me too with me DH and DS. I do all the cooking and all of the research. (I think I remember both of us cooking up a storm so that our husbands would have something to eat while we were both going to be gone for a week) My DH...

    Just wanted to thank you all of the laughs. My DS and DH are the ones who have celiac but I can identify with a lot of it because I am the one preparing the food, shopping, and reading the labels, etc. Here are some to add . . . You pick your son's friends by who has a mom who will only feed him "safe" snacks. You celebrate when the poop in the...

    Frozen lasts forever. We just got a new deep freeze so my husband emptied the one in the shop. Some applesauce had gotten buried from the summer of 2001 and we have been eating it and it is still good. (Of course usually we have it done within a year or two) It seems like apple trees produce better crops every other year so I often only get ahold of apples...

    I'm going to be making applesauce tomorrow too. I always freeze mine in freeze containers though. I just peel and slice apples and add a little water and cook on med low heat on the stove and keep stirring so you don't scorch them. (YUCK!) I've also microwaved apple pieces in a dish that lets the steam out for 5 minutes at a time until the apples are...

    This sounds just like what I have been thinking except I have envisioned having to go and clean up the poopy pull ups too. My DS just turned 4 and he will go pee in the potty if we remind him and insist he go in time. (I swear he doesn't have any sensation of when he needs to go because he will say he doesn't have to and refuse and two seconds later we...

    I just got the cookbook yesterday and wondered if any of you could share which recipes were favorites at your house (or ones to avoid). I am getting quite the cookbook collection for gluten-free but thought I better get one aimed for just kids. Thanks for your input. Kendra

    Today was Luke's 4th birthday so I made more cupcakes and took them to Caravan at church tonight. I put peanut butter chips on top this time instead of frosting. The leaders said all of the kids gobbled them up--didn't suspect they were made with different flour. Kendra
