Re: can anyone give me some pointers?.

Hi,

I am just starting a GF diet for my son who is 6 and has Down Syndrome.

Yesterday I made a recipe for pancakes that had him gagging!! Actually I

didn't think they were bad at all

What I am looking for is maybe some kid tested/friendly recipes and tips to

get us started without a huge battle. Thanks

Hi,

My son and husband both really like this chocolate chip cookie recipe:

Toll House Chocolate Chip Cookies converted to gfcf:

1 C cf margarine 1/2 C sugar

1 C Brown Sugar 1 tsp. gf vanilla

Cream together. Add 2 eggs and mix well.

1 1/2 C white rice flour

1/2 C potato starch flour

1/4 C tapioca flour

1 1/2 tsp xantham gum

1 tsp salt

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp baking soda

Combine and add to egg/sugar mixture. Mix and add 12 ounces

gfcf chocolate

chips and 1 cup chopped nuts.

Drop by rounded tablespoons onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake

at 375* for

12 minutes or until golden brown.

What I do after I make the dough is to make them into

rolls of dough

(like slice and bake cookies in the store), on plastic wrap or

parchment

paper, wrap them up,

and freeze them.

Then I just take them out of the freezer, slice and bake, and

they are done.

Very easy.

I would also recommend looking through the archives. The pop tart recipe is

good and we usually have good luck with the Noah's bread recipe (although

some people don't) and use it to make pizza crust and donuts.

Thanks for all your replys!! I'm lucky that my son isn't into carbs all that

much. I just have to really revamp my kitchen!!

I'm gonna try the recipe groups as well. Looking forward to embarking on yet

another journey LOL

Yahoo group gfcfrecipes can help you get started with kid tested

recipes. Not-mcnuggets and meat puffs are very popular. Gfcf cereal

crispy bars. Lots of muffin & pancake ideas. Initially, we had

waffles coming out of our ears, but now just occasionally buy Van's

or Waffle Heaven's frozen gf waffles.

Since I'm pretty new at this too (9 weeks on gfcf diet) I still buy

pre-packaged pancake mix. It is Arrowhead Mills' Gluten Free pancake mix.

I get it at the HFS and the girls like the pancakes! But it is expensive,

so I'm going to have to start making my own. Good luck with your son and

let us know if/when you see improvement on the diet. Hugs, H, mom to
