Why not make meatloaf donut shaped? Mix your meatloaf up (I always add

some purreed peas into the mixture so that there is some vegetable to it

- and by the way I HATE peas but this is good). Shape the meatloaf into

donuts in the pan and bake (less time then normally as now you have

tinier individual meatloaves).

In the center hole you can put mashed potatoes (with cauliflower mashed

into them), mashed carrots, etc.

I do this with ground turkey and chicken as we don't eat beef, but this

will work with a regular beef meatloaf.

There is also a recipe for meat puffs-its like a meat ball. I make them by

forming meat into small balls add rice as a filler. Then cover with a

slightly sweet tomato based sauce and bake-its not bad I ate all of them

myself{my son did not like the look of rice in his meat.F

I don't think 3 months is long enough to be on this diet...I have always read AT

LEAST 6 months, preferably 1 year because it takes a very long time for gluten

to leave the body...BUT, the younger the child, the less gluten build up there

is in their body to get rid of. I would suggest trying a reward system to get

them to eat red meat and veggies...like if you eat so much you get a gfcf treat

(start slow, maybe 2 bites of meat or veggie, then they get the treat and

gradually increase the amount they need to eat to get the treat). I do not know

about the Flintstones vitamins...you definately need to verify if this is gfcf.

My son never wanted to eat any type of meat before the diet, but since the diet,

he now eats almost all kinds of meat (at least all the kinds our family eats

Also, at 2.5 years old, children often do not like eating meat or veggies, so I

would not worry too much...I would just never force them to eat anything, try to

make it as fun as possible with rewards...good luck!
