I just made the best chocolate frosting for brownies. Normally I don’t frost brownies, but someone is bringing the Jessica Seinfeld Deceptively Delicious brownies to school tomorrow as a “healthy” snack and I made a gluten free version of the recipe. I am not sure if the gluten-full recipe is tasty, but the ones I […]

  • Heather - I plan on trying this frosting soon, sounds delicious! I actually love Deceptively Delicious – it might be my favorite cookbook of the moment. We are just starting the GF adventure, and I make the pink pancakes with a GF pancake mix, which is easy and not as overwhelming as mixing your own GF flour. I also make them with goat milk ricotta as my kid can't do cow's milk. We also love the Banana Bread that incorporates cauliflower (I have yet to experiment with making that GF), the french toast with banana and pineapple puree (GF with good GF bread), the chicken nuggets with sweet potato puree, and the sloppy joes with a whole host of veggies. I know I sound like an informercial, but I really like this cookbook. I also serve veggies and fruits on the side, but who can't be happy about beets for breakfast (in the pink pancakes)?ReplyCancel

  • Claire - This looks wonderful! I had wondered how to get a good "butter cream" frosting recipe. Thank you so much!ReplyCancel

Q: Do you agree that gluten-free means that the product contains less than 20ppm of gluten, which the FDA has proposed but has not yet established as the threshold level for a gluten-free claim? A: This is a very interesting question. And something that is hard for people to understand. Yes, gluten free technically means […]

  • Our Family Is His - Just a warning to your fellow readers, the exact same thing is true of their Almond Dream, which my gluten intolerant child has been living off of. I read this about Rice Dream and called the company. I was first told, "the label says gluten free, you can also read the ingredient list". I said, "I am not asking you what the label says, I am asking you if gluten products, such as wheat, barley, and so on, are used in the processing of Almond Dream Unsweetened Milk?" She said, "hold please" and came back in about 10 seconds saying, "yes, barley is used in the production of Almond Dream, it's content it 20 ppm, so that's gluten free". I told her, "that's not gluten free, that means it has a little gluten in it. I would just like to say that you, as a company, should note this on your box since many people can't tolerate even a drop of gluten in their diets. It can do a lot of harm to a person's body that has serious issues with gluten." She said, "uh, ok, thank you" and that was it. Nothing will change, but now I know I have been hurting my son's body because I believed gluten free meant free of gluten. Silly me.

    I really should have known this with what I know about "thermisol-free" vaccines.ReplyCancel

  • Michelle - I just discovered your blog via a link from another GF blog I frequent. Our kids are GFCF, and mostly processed sugar free too. Appreciate you bringing awareness not only to the issues we face with our GFCF lifestyle, but also the dangers in vaccines. Personally, we can't help thinking our lives would be drastically different now had our oldest child not received the MMR vaccine at 15 months. Please keep up the great work. I'm so glad I've found your blog and already see a few recipes I'm going to try.ReplyCancel

Q: If one were to adapt a gluten free diet even if they have never experienced any intolerance to wheat/gluten would they develop digestive problems when and if they ever returned to eating wheat/gluten products? A: From talking with doctors, if you have celiac or gluten intolerance with no digestive symptoms, you MIGHT have a […]

  • Shalini - Great article Kir! The gluten-free diet definitely helped Aari. When we met you, Aari was 3 years old and not really talking. He is almost 5 years old and talking in full sentences. His language may not so clear and his vocabulary may not be as wide but he tries so hard to tell us his wants and needs. It doesn't matter how much he knows, its how much he tries! He is our joy! And you gave me the courage to do it all. Loves ShalReplyCancel
