97 pounds of specialty flour is on the way!

So I bought 25 pounds of almond meal, 50 pounds of flax meal, and 22 pounds of gluten free premixed flour from Bobs Red Mill. Click that if you're interested. The 44 oz bags are on sale at amazon.com today. So I bought 8 bags! :) It has bean flour in it, so it's a good thing Sierra likes beans. :) I think we'll be ok with it.

I guess i'll be buying a freezer too to store these things. ;)

This will be cheaper than buying premade foods, I think! We'll all see together.

By the way- The cheesecake cupcakes are a hit with the whole family. They are sugar free too! That is great news. They're long gone.

cake for the party..

We'll I've just whipped up something that hopefully will pass for a cheesecake/cupcake for the party. I haven't bought any gluten free stuff yet, so I'm winging it big time.

I made a crust with rice square cereal and butter. Mixed up some greek yogurt, stevia a touch of sugar, cocoa powder and an egg. I poured it on top of the crust in the cupcake pan. It's in the oven. For frosting i'll whip up some peanut butter frosting and hopefully that will make it birthday partyish for my girl.

I need a bigger purse if I'm gonna be smuggling all this food! :)

Pizza Party

My girl was invited to a pizza party and I realized she won't be able to eat the snacks there. What to do?

I called the pizza parlor and asked if they have gluten free crust. Nope- so I made this pizza. The pizza place will warm it up for us though! :)

Now I realized there will be cake.... what to do now?

My dear one

I cannot wait to hear her voice... 4 years old and I have never heard her thoughts.

Last night I found this article and now I'm on a quest to cook for my daughter, feed her brain and hear her talk.

So my mission is (and I decide to accept it):

to help my dear girl's guts stop being annoyed by gluten so that she can absorb nutrients.and I'll be giving her lots of vitamins to absorb so that she'll be able to catch up for lost time- hopefully!

I am starting by cutting gluten only.

So we begin: Feb 25, 2011
Eggs and banana for breakfast
Corn tortillas tacos for lunch
Chicken carrots and rice for dinner

Snack: Cereal Snack Mix

In a large glass bowl, mix cereal and nuts.

• 3 cups Rice square gluten free cereal
• 1/3 c peanuts

In a small glass bowl combine other ingredients and microwave 30 seconds.

• 2 T butter
• 2 t Worcestershire sauce
• ¾ t garlic salt

Pour butter over cereal mix and stir to coat.

Then microwave 30 seconds and stir- repeating 4 or 5 times until crisp and brown.

Comments from the peanut gallery:

"Can we bring it to Disneyland?"

"Your mommy is too nice. This is good too good!"

It's all gone... :)
