Guest guest Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 BTW, my son *still* loves the pink pancakes from Deceptively Delicious - works well GFCF or regular but I did have to play with the recipe a bit - it wasn't perfect as written. I think it was too runny, if I remember right. I haven't made them in a while. I should make a batch. And he loves them even more sprinkled with a few chocolate chips.Also, when I make things, I make them in large batches and freeze. So when I make the pancakes, I make a lot and then pull how many I need for breakfast out and stick them in the toaster oven. Works like a champ. Whenever I make anything from scratch like that I will make *a lot* and freeze. Cheryl ~http://www.gryffins-tail.blogspot.com~~@Gryffins_Tail~ That is awesome....exactly the kind of tips I'm looking for. I'm trying to get the biggest bang out of everything they eat, ya know? -Tammy To: mb12 valtrex Sent: Mon, February 7, 2011 7:05:23 PMSubject: Re: chicken broth When you get your recipe for pizza sauce, add a 1/1 cup of pureed spinach and 1/2 cup pureed carrots (or less if you aren't making a large pot). You won't taste either. One of the things that I did was get The Sneaky Chef and Deceptively Delicious. I modified recipes in there to fit with the diet (we were GFCF at the time). Works like a champ. But the real gem in these books is learning how much puree mixtures you can add to foods without altering flavor too much and learning what purees go best with what. Cheryl ~http://www.gryffins-tail.blogspot.com~ ~@Gryffins_Tail~ I'll push my luck here and ask for a pizza sauce, too. The more I can pack it w/ nutrients, the better. -Tammy To: mb12 valtrex Sent: Mon, February 7, 2011 8:01:50 AMSubject: chicken broth Hi Guys, Looking for a gf alternative to Ramen noodles.

Guest guest Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 You know, once I started just buying what I needed (vs going to the grocery store hungry..) my bill went down by about $300 per month. I only buy organic. For 5 people ( I don't count Sam yet as he hasn't started eating real food) - our bill is about $250 per week or less, $250 is the high side for us...not too shabby. -- and believe it or not, once your body gets what it needs, you aren't hungry all the time. We also started doing 2 meatless dinners a week. This cut down on our bill significantly because meat made up about 45% of our monthly bill. (Little scary! Because I purchase organic meats) Juicing carrots/apples/fennel -- as an afternoon snack is cheap and very fulfilling. A 5lb bag of organic carrots is $4.50 and will last about a week. A bulb of fennel is about $2. and apples (organic golden delcicious) just ran me $6. for 8 apples. - So, for under $20 (as I will have to get more apples) - I got a very nutritious snack for my kiddos with TONS of nutrition. They eat about 2 snacks a day - one being a juicer drink. (that's for 2 kids and myself..) - This is the 3 pm snack that needs to hold them until dinner. Dinner at our house is 5:30. My kids eat about 5 small meals/snacks a day. Big ones in the morning and dwindle by the time dinner rolls around. For butter we use the earth balance soy free one. I like it. Ghee is super expensive, and I like my butter salty..ghee really isn't salty. For 'butter' we also use coconut oil drizzle with fruity stuff ...mmmm... and olive oil with spices (like salt, garlic and italian seasoning)... When I bake, I use olive oil. I purchased canola oil too, but it's boring. I like flavor. I do use the organic ones too. If I wasn't so paranoid about food, I might keep using real organic butter. But casein is such a hard one in this family, so I keep it out. I keep dreaming about the day when I can make a chocolate torte with real butter. (and blueberry drizzle...) ....and yes, any way to get nutrition in your kid is a good idea and should be tried. I liked the chicken broth posts...I never thought of cutting the bones...(I have to make my own chicken broth as Maddie and Rob couldn't handle certain aspects of store bought ones -- and I have gotten used to making my own..) Fennel is a good alternative to celery/carrots in broth, as it has really great nutrition and it's low oxalate. It gives it a nice flavor too. Something to consider... laura > > > >  > > > > > > > > >I'll push my luck here and ask for a pizza sauce, too. The more I can pack > >it > > > > >w/ nutrients, the better. > > > > > >-Tammy > > > > > > > > > > > > > > ________________________________ > > From: T Lynn <t.lynn28@> > > >To: mb12 valtrex > > >Sent: Mon, February 7, 2011 8:01:50 AM > > >Subject: chicken broth > > > > > > > > > > > > > > >Hi Guys, > > > > > >Looking for a gf alternative to Ramen noodles. Can anyone share a recipe for > >a > > > > >nutrient-rich chicken broth with me? My husband loves to cook (lucky me!) > >so it > > > > >doesn't necessarily have to be quick and easy. Thanks! > > > > > >-Tammy > > >I > > > > > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 yes. they were runny. I actually like 's book Special Diets for Special kids..(?) (I have to go look what it says!) -- but there is a pancake recipe in there, that I like and works well with the pink pancakes! Haha! One thing I have recently learned...is that when using Xanthum Gum, you use 1/2 tsp per CUP of flour. More makes your stuff come out to thick and sticky, and less your breads/cakes, pancakes, fall apart. Also, when using Rice flour, if you let it sit and soak for 15 minutes in the liquid portion of the recipe, it will take out the 'grainy' texture, and make it smooth. Nothing worse than crunchy cupcakes...LOL! I could write a very funny book on the mishaps of baking in my kitchen trying to use the GF/CF flours... Cooking is an art, baking is a science. Once I wrapped my head around that, I started to succeed at baking. I have wasted hundreds of dollars on ingredients for really crappy outcomes...(if I had a dog, I wouldn't feed it to him/her!) laura > > > >> > >> > >> I'll push my luck here and ask for a pizza sauce, too.

Guest guest Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 Oooh, I have another tip, since we're sharing - the avocado pudding recipe - it didn't quite taste very good as a warm pudding but if you stick it in the fridge and let it stiffen, it makes *awesome* chocolate frosting! Just serve it immediately or keep whatever you put it on in the fridge because as it warms up, the avocado flavor comes back. Avocado is yummy but I can't say I like it so much warm and chocolatey and gooey - not so yummy then. Also, on my blog there's a recipe for protein popsicles.

I got the rice noodles tonight. They're affordable and its something I know they won't gripe about. Tom has been awesome - very proactive. is still pretty sensory so we have to be careful....the sights and smells of certain things has him bowing to the porcelain god so we walk a fine line.  Now for a butter substitute, I hope someone has an amazing alternative to share with me because the substitutes are disgusting. I just can't get past the ingredients list. I'd rather let the kid have a little cow's milk as opposed to solid sticks of oil. I'm willing to pay a bit more money for something decent.  -Tammy From: laurargoddin To: mb12 valtrex Sent: Mon, February 7, 2011 11:52:37 PM Subject: Re: chicken broth  Tammy - those are two great books to keep on hand (or check out in library) as they were SOOOOO helpful to me to getting more nutrition. We too love Tinyada Pasta -- it doesn't taste like crap, and they aren't mushy or gross. You guys have Wild Oats or Whole foods? They both carry it... laura > >  > > > > > >I'll push my luck here and ask for a pizza sauce, too. The more I can pack it > >w/ nutrients, the better. > > > >-Tammy > > > > > > > > > ________________________________ > > >To: mb12 valtrex > >Sent: Mon, February 7, 2011 8:01:50 AM > >Subject: chicken broth > > > > > > > > > >Hi Guys, > > > >Looking for a gf alternative to Ramen noodles. Can anyone share a recipe for a > >nutrient-rich chicken broth with me? My husband loves to cook (lucky me!) so it > >doesn't necessarily have to be quick and easy. Thanks! > > > >-Tammy > >I > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 Also, look to see if abundant harvest is available in your area.http://www.abundantharvestorganics.com/ Cheryl ~http://www.gryffins-tail.blogspot.com~~@Gryffins_Tail~ Ladies, thank you all so much for you're awesome tips. You guys rock.-TammyTo: mb12 valtrex Sent: Tue, February 8, 2011 2:36:30 AMSubject: Re: Re: chicken broth Oooh, I have another tip, since we're sharing - the avocado pudding recipe - it didn't quite taste very good as a warm pudding but if you stick it in the fridge and let it stiffen, it makes *awesome* chocolate frosting! Just serve it immediately or keep whatever you put it on in the fridge because as it warms up, the avocado flavor comes back. Avocado is yummy but I can't say I like it so much warm and chocolatey and gooey - not so yummy then. Also, on my blog there's a recipe for protein popsicles. Cheryl ~http://www.gryffins-tail.blogspot.com~~@Gryffins_Tail~ yes. they were runny. I actually like 's book Special Diets for Special kids..(?) (I have to go look what it says!) -- but there is a pancake recipe in there, that I like and works well with the pink pancakes! Haha! One thing I have recently learned...is that when using Xanthum Gum, you use 1/2 tsp per CUP of flour. More makes your stuff come out to thick and sticky, and less your breads/cakes, pancakes, fall apart. Also, when using Rice flour, if you let it sit and soak for 15 minutes in the liquid portion of the recipe, it will take out the 'grainy' texture, and make it smooth. Nothing worse than crunchy cupcakes...LOL! I could write a very funny book on the mishaps of baking in my kitchen trying to use the GF/CF flours... Cooking is an art, baking is a science. Once I wrapped my head around that, I started to succeed at baking. I have wasted hundreds of dollars on ingredients for really crappy outcomes...(if I had a dog, I wouldn't feed it to him/her!) laura > > > >> > >> > >> I'll push my luck here and ask for a pizza sauce, too.

Can anyone share a recipe for a nutrient-rich chicken broth with me? My husband loves to cook (lucky me!) so it doesn't necessarily have to be quick and easy.
