Need ideas for meals

[Guest guest]

Hi Adrienne-

have you tried the apple pancakes recipe? I believe there are a few

different ones but the one we use is:

Peel and core 3 apples, blend/grate apples in food processor. Mix in 3 eggs

and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon powder. fry in pan in cooking oil or butter, as

you would pancakes.

I do them small and cook slowly over a lower heat than you would regular

pancakes, as they are a little trickier to flip and turn, but they are

delicious- and flourless-

Also one of the best cookbooks for kid-friendly SCD recipes I have found is

" cooking to heal little tummies " , that along with " grain-free gourmet " have

been my favorites and the ones i have had the most success with in our

transition from gfcf to scd.

There is a great cookie recipe in " Cooking to heal little tummies " , for mock

sugar cookies:

2 cups almond flour, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon baking soda, 1/3 cup

honey, 2 Tablespoons coconut oil; Mix dry ingredients, add coconut oil and

honey, mix well. Roll dough into balls and flatten with fork on parchment

lined

baking sheet. Bake at 275 degrees for 20 to 30 minutes or till slightly

golden. Place on cooling rack and sprinkle with cinnamon if desired. It also

says you can refrigerate the dough and then roll out and use with cookie

cutters, but i have always just done the balls for convenience sake.

I have never tried a substitute nut flour, but if almonds are an issue, i

imagine you could try pecan or walnut flour, etc...???

My daughter is GFCF and now starting SCD. I need some help with some

meal ideas. For breakfast she likes the almond waffles, but I need

some more ideas. She is not really into eggs plain.

For lunch she likes hamburgers, but that is it. I need to find some

kind of bread, preferably not made with almond flour.

I also need some help finding some cookies and crunchy things that she

can snack on. She really craves crunchy things.

Thanks for any recipe advice. I am not all that much into cooking, but

I am trying!

PS Somebody had a french toast with egg bread recipe, but I cannot

find it. Does anybody have one?

Nut free & dairy free bread recipe file is at this link:

http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/pecanbread/files/

Most nut bread recipes can be converted to other nuts pretty

easily. Pecans are another easy to digest nut. They are a little

oilier so you may have to adjust for that in a recipe.

If you use hazelnuts/filberts you should probably remove skins (use

blanched nuts) because the skins are very fibrous.

Dairy free cracker recipe:

http://www.pecanbread.com/new/recipes/sandyscrackers.html (note that

cashews are an advanced nut so try cautiously)

http://www.scdrecipe.com/recipes-cracker/hazelnut-almond-crackers/

this calls for butter which you may be able to subsitute coconut

oil, oil, ghee or legal shortening (eg. Spectrum Palm oil)

To make crackers you can take muffins and breads, slice them thinly

and toast them at about 170F until they are dried and crunchy.

I make french toast with the nut free dairy free bread. Sometimes I

sprinkle in some ground cinnamon and mix that with the eggs to make

cinnamon french toast.
