I made the eggplant dip recipe in 's book. I forget what it's

called...it's in the section on foods from other regions. If you

can't find it, tell me and I'll get the page #. Anyway, I made it

without the tahini and less garlic and my child ate quite a bit with

tortilla chips to dip. Doesn't taste like eggplant. What about

cucumbers and dip in something? They are pretty mild tasting. How

about baked yam with lots of marshmallows, brown sugar, butter?

My 10-yr old has refused to eat anything other than bread his whole life, and I

got pretty good at putting sweet potatoes, pumpkin, banana, and other fruits and

vegetables in muffins, quick breads, biscuits, etc. I even made him a

chocolate-sweet potato cake for his birthday every year. Also, we'd substitute

applesauce for the oil in all our baking. Since going gf, however, he does not

like the applesauce in the baked goods. I'm getting ready to do a lot of

experimenting here, so will let you know how much applesauce I'm able to

re-introduce (I'm figuring half applesauce/half oil might work).

Also, I mixed up some gfcf flours and keep them in a half gallon jar and have

been using the mix to substitute for wheat flour in " regular " recipes. It's been

pretty successful so far, and the children agree those are the best recipes yet.

Here's my mix:

1/2 cup brown rice flour

1 1/2 cup garbanzo or garbfava flour

2/3 cup potato starch

1/3 cup tapioca

I add 1/2 - 3/4 tsp. xanthan gum to the recipe. I mix up 3 cups at a time, use

what I need, then add another 3 cups of the mix. The half gallon jar is a good

size, as I can just shake it up and get a good mix.

Hope this helps someone!

Try frying eggplant in your favorite GFCF chicken nugget mix. Your kid will

love it. I have had adults ask me for the recipe too because they liked it so

much! You'll also want to soak the eggplant in water for 15-20 min prior to

coating to take the bitterness out.
