Guest guest Posted December 31, 2001 Report Share Posted December 31, 2001 I really really really suggest that you subscribe to GFCFrecipes from . What I do is go " no mail " and then search the archives when I need a recipe and occasionally I post to people privately or even publically when I make a break through recipe substitution (like Boiled Cookies substituting Poha Flakes for oatmeal.) THe volume tends to be too high for me to be able to substitute digest or individual email. The people there are very very helpful and the list owner Lowrey comes up with really great ideas. is also available on the list if you have questions about recipes in her book. They have done an excellent job of creating good, nutritious alternatives to those who are doing GFCF diets. Snacks that are working well for us (I don't worry a ton about sugar to be honest with you- my child eats less sugar than most children not on the GFCF diet.) Hummous and " potato " pita Fruit- you can just give an apple or bannana! Or make fruit Kabobs Veggies with bean or artichoke dip or even spinach dip (tofu) Tofutti cream cheeses on Miss Robens Bagels Snacks from Ms Robens Nuts Celery with almond butter or peanutbutter Tahini with veggies Califlower with " mock " cheese sauce popcorn (with either margarine, tabasco sauce, or nutritional yeast sprinkled on top) Scones with ghee with a " tea " Silk Egg nog Silk yogurt (soy) homemade " granola " bars pumpkin seeds Imagine soy chocolate pudding Pumpkin bread Bannana muffins In the summer, we have smoothies Left over kopepia Terra Sweet Potato Chips Terra Stix (like those short crunchy potato sticks in a can, but better) 's American Gourmet Potato Flyers 's American Gourmet Veggie Booty (like cheetos in texture) 's American Gourmet Fruity Booty Pistachios EnerG Pretzels (these have soy, though) Just Fruits and Just Veggies - freeze dried everything Cool Fruits Fruit Bars (fruit leather) Grabber EnerG Bars - Apple Apricot, Blueberry Apricot Skittles KinnikKinnick Montana Choc Chip Cookies Gorilla Munch Cereal Rice and Corn Crunch ems. these sesame bars that we used to eat in Europe. Roll up beef slices with a tooth pick Olives and Tomatos (okay, we are Greek and eat these) Figs Fig spread on muffins Mock pizza with " mosterella cheese " from the uncheese cookbook. Bette Hagmans " the gluten free gourmet " Carol Fensters Special Diet Solutions and ' books were all very helpful. Sometimes we even have " tea " time with tea and either a light dessert (a really good carrot cake!) or Noah's Bread or Cornstarch bread sandwhiches.

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2001 Report Share Posted December 31, 2001 Once in awhile we do. We have the Ronco Food dehydrator, but before that, i just did it on my oven racks. we used to have alot of fresh vennison, so i made alot of jerky. Now we just buy it, natural style. the turkey jerky tends to be alot softer. /and so are some brands of beef jerky. Tina M. Hendrix Cure2000@...

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2001 Report Share Posted December 31, 2001 - What's the uncheese cookbook? My kids react to soy, so that knocks off lots of suggestions from your list, but thanks for posting so many good ideas!!! On Sun, 30 Dec 2001 19:37:30 -0500 " H.

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2001 Report Share Posted December 31, 2001 Tina - Do you make the jerky yourself? I remember seeing an infomercial awhile back on a making jerky. I think it was just a food dehydrator. Any suggestions? On Mon, 31 Dec 2001 03:03:16 EST Cure2000@... writes: > Debbie, we do lots of jerky, beef, turkey, etc. Also, any other kind > of > protein.

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2002 Report Share Posted January 1, 2002 > - >What's the uncheese cookbook? My kids react to >soy, I am really fortunate in that my child doesn't react to soy. I imagine that it makes things a little tougher. I read a " study " (it was unpublished but presented at a conference) that showed some kids improved on the GFCF diet and they theorized that a certain percentage who didn't, might be reacting to another very common allergin- soy. The Uncheese Cookbook by Joanne Stepaniak is a pretty good book. Some of the recipes are " weird " Most of the recipes do rely on things like cashew nuts so if you are following a " no yeast diet " , it isn't a good option. I substitute Poha flakes (which is from rice) for anything that calls for oatmeal since the American Celiacs association doesn't think oatmeal safe from cross contamination. I think that if my child had issues with soy, I probably wouldn't buy the book. A certain percentage of the recipes do have tofu in them. There are, however, samples from her book on the web which might be useful to you: http://www.recipesource.com/munchies/dips-spreads/06/rec0611.html Several " mock " cheese recipes: http://www.panix.com/~nomilk/cheese1.txt I have used the mostarella cheese recipe for " pizza " by freezing it in a baggie and then grating it while frozen. It is more like that fresh mozerella you buy in real Italian markets than the stringy kind found in American grocery stores. I think that if you are a real cheese lover, you won't be happy but for my child, these recipes work - perhaps because it has been so long since he has had any " real " cheese that he doesn't know any better.

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2002 Report Share Posted January 1, 2002 - Thank you!!! My 7 year old has been asking for pizza (the only food he really misses) and has recently even agreed to have it with just crust and sauce. I'll try some of the recipes to see if we can start Friday pizza and movie night again! This holiday season we discovered that pumpkin pie filling can be made with DariFree instead of evaporated milk. The kids love it and we just reduce the sugar so it isn't too bad for a snack - lots of Vitamin A too. Keep the great food ideas coming - I tend to get in rut and stop looking for new ideas On Tue, 1 Jan 2002 10:46:23 -0500 " H. " <eahcsc@...> writes: > > - > >What's the uncheese cookbook?
