Guest guest Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 You might at first pick your battles and allow him a bit more fruit as you're stopping the soy and trying new things. For baked goods, I've found that The Gluten-Free Pantry mixes are great -- _http://www.glutenfree.com/_ (http://www.glutenfree.com/) . Some use soy flour so read the ingredients that are listed on the website. You can substitute oil and juice/water for milk in the mixes. Their " buttermilk " biscuits are really great with a substitute of half oil and half apple juice for the 3/4 cup recommended buttermilk. If you son is allowed nuts, you can boost nutrient level and calories by substituting various nut butters or ground nuts for the butter or shortening recommended for various recipes.
