Gluten free recipes for kids
Ever since my child was critically ill, she can't have anything with gluten/wheat anymore. It is really hard to tell a 5 year old child that she can't eat basically anything her friends eat or that she sees people eat on TV. Her little face... :( Do you know of any good child friendly foods I can make that contains no gluten? Bless you if you can help me!

Hello,
I think once you start looking, you'll be surprised at the wide variety of food you can make without gluten. More and more stores have caught on to this health concern and there are many different brands to choose from.
I'm not sure what grocery stores are in your area, but if you have a Sprouts near you, they have a ton of gfree stuff with special tags on the shelves to make it clear. You can also try Whole Foods. Even most traditional grocery stores like Safeway and Lucky have a decent sized gluten free section now.
When I worked at Sprouts, I helped a lot of customers with gluten sensitivities. Based on their feedback, these are supppedly the best products:
Cereal- Van's or Glutino
Crackers- Mary's Gone Crackers or Vans
Baking- you can modify traditional recipes by using an alternative flour- almond rice, rice flour, coconut flour, soy flour, etc. Bob's Red Mill makes all of those and many more. Pamela's and Cup 4 Cup are supposed to be the best ready mixes. Enjoy Life makes really good allergen free chocolate chips.
Treats- Pamela's premade cookies, Enjoy Life granola bars, udi's muffins or cookies (sometimes found in the frozen section).
Basics- Rudi's white bread (often frozen), glutino pretzels, late july chips and crackers, glutenfreeda frozen burritos, udi's tortillas.
If you google 'gluten free recipes for kids' there's also a decent amount of info. Hope that helped!

You might try a site called "Pin It." This site has a variety of different areas to it among them are different types of recipes. In the programs search box type in Gluten free or gluten free meals. You will be taken to an area where there are recipes others have found and pinned or developed on their own. Once you find something you like you can pin the recipe to your own board to retrieve when needed.
Need an idea for a meal, try pin it. Type in the type of meal or main ingredient in the search box and see what comes back. Having a party and want some fresh ideas, type in party snacks.
I needed and Idea of a meal I could make for my wife for Valentine’s Day. I needed a one pot meal as I am disabled and the pain of my disability was really bothering me and standing at the stove for any amount of time was not going to happen. Pin It to the rescue. A meal it took five minutes to prep and fifteen minutes to cook.
In the past I have been able to make two, three or even four course meals for my wife on Valentine’s day. This year wasn't possible. Pin It made it possible to maintain a tradition I started long ago. Try it I think it will be very helpful.
