I'm trying to decide what to make for Christmas. I tend not to make a lot because, to be quite honest, I eat it - way too much of it.  I do want to make  afew fun foods for my boys this year. We are gluten-free, nut-free, and dairy-free.  I use coconut milks and earth's balance in lieu of dairy so I can make substitutions if you have a good idea.

 

All I have planned so far are brownies, cinnamon buns ( from Notme! Open Original Shared Linkand some loaves (banana and pumpkin).  My mom is doing gingerbread with my boys (bless her).  Fun cookies or squares that kids would like is what I mostly want.

 

Thanks  :)

Are you peanut free or just tree nut free? I have an easy yummy recipe for a peanut butter pie.

Hubs threw together some gluten-free stuff early one and it ended up being really good.  I don't know what to call it, Chex Balls???

 

  • 3 cups Rice Chex Cereal
    3 cups Chocolate Chex Cereal
    1 cup Creamy Peanut Butter--Optional
    1 cup Light Corn Syrup
    1 cup Granulated Sugar

 

 

Combine the the corn syrup and sugar until it lightly boils. Add peanut butter until smooth. Mix in cereals until coated completely. Form into balls and place on wax paper to cool. No need to frost because the chocolate Chex gives you the chocolate taste. Enjoy!

 

The above amounts are approximate and easy to divide or multiply as needed.  They are really good warm :D  You could add some peppermint something to these too probably in lieu of the peanut butter for a minty taste.

When you say dairy free does that include butter? If you're OK with butter, I just made a delicious toffee that my family could not get enough of.

Have you done any merange cookies with choc chips? You can use food coloring to make them green or sugar sprinkles on the top to make them red or green, etc. I can get you a recipe we use tomorrow if you want? My BIl makes them with crushed candy canes instead of chocolate chips. Yum!

What are you in the mood for? We are D, E, PN, TN and gluten free. I have recipes for just about everything!  

 

The easiest and biggest hit with my kids is Monkey Munch which is Chex Muddy Buddies but with Sunbutter and Enjoy Life chocolate chips!  Yum!

Flourless chocolate cookies
 
 
Mix 2 cups powdered sugar, 1/2 cup cocoa, 2 tsp. cornstarch, 1/4 tsp. salt, 2 egg whites (not beaten). 
Should be thick enough to form balls; if not, add more sugar. Should be sticky and form a imperfect ball. 
Stir in 1 cup nuts (unsalted peanuts, pecans, or walnuts.) Form into 15 balls, place on parchment paper, and bake 16-19 minutes in a 300 oven until crackly and shiny. Cool completely. . They have a sort of crisp-meringue outside, and a soft, chewy inside, 
 
Instead of nuts, you could use Enjoy Life Chocolate chips or some other type of chips or chunks of candy cane (probably melt a bit)

These are really yummy.  I used butter but I bet you could use margarine.  Use water for the glaze & maybe a teeny amount of vanilla or cinnamon.

Instructions
  1. Pre-heat oven to 350.
  2. In a food processor combine all ingredients.
  3. Scoop into muffin tin make sure to use liners or you will never get them out, personal experience! You can also use silicone molds they work great. The batter will be VERY sticky you might want to wet the spoon to make is easier.
  4. I topped mine with cocao nibs to add a bit of zip.
  5. Place muffin pan in the oven and bake for about 15 minutes.
  6. Wait until these are completely cooled before removing from the pan.
Ingredients
  1. 1 cup creamy almond butter (or nut butter of your choice)
  2. 2 very ripe bananas
  3. 1/4 cup maple syrup
  4. 1/3 cup cocao powder
  5. Optional cocao nibs
  6. Peanut butter, optional
  7. Agave syrup drizzled on top, optional
  8. Shredded coconut on top, optional

My sister made these and they are pretty good.  They didn't rise a lot, so maybe a teaspoon of baking powder would help that.

Do rice krispie treats or use the recipe on the back of the enjoy life chocolate chips for chocolate chip cookies. I also think godairyfree.com has good recipes that can be changed according to diet.  I made the fruit filled oat squares and they were good.  They were a bit crumbly but tasted similar to pop tarts. I substituted one of the starches for sorghum flour.  Hope this helps.

All really good ideas, guys!  Thank you!  I'm going to get my kids to look at this with me tomorrow morning and we'll pick out a few to make.

 

Mmmm, I'm getting hungry reading these recipes.  :)

      Worsening oral health with celiac

      By trents · Posted

      The form of the magnesium is important. Go for one that has high absorbability. Most of us opt for magnesium glycinate. Mag citrate is also good. Don't settle for the oxide forms. They aren't absorbed well and tend to have a laxative effect 'cause they just draw water into the colon a' la Milk of Magnesia. Costco is a good place to shop for things like that. Also, good bone and dental health involves vitamin D. Are you taking a dedicated D3 supplement? Have you had your D levels checked? In many ways, vitamin D is turning out to be a master vitamin of human metabolism and celiacs are often low on this one. What was the numerical score on your IGA along with the reference range? I can probably tell you whether it was TTG-IGA by the magnitude of the score. The only other likely option besides TTG-IGA would be Total IGA which usually has scores that range in the hundreds.  I do think it important for you to get a follow-up endoscopy/biopsy to check for healing of the villi. If that isn't happening like it should, you still are not absorbing nutrients well and that could easily explain your dental issues.

      It doesn’t specify if it’s TTG I’m not sure how to tell for that. That would be so sad. We never eat out I try to be so strict. Yes many dental products have gluten! I only use ones that don’t on myself.    No follow up procedure has been done for healing. That is something I will ask about. Thank you for the suggestion.    I don’t take any Magnesium. What would be a good supplement?

      Is that TTG-IGA that is slightly elevated? That could indicate you are still getting some gluten in your diet. That should be within normal range I would think if you were truly gluten free. As a dental professional have you looked into the issue of gluten in the products they use in your profession? There are threads on this forum and also articles I think dealing with that issue. Have you had a follow-up endoscopy to check for healing of the small bowel villi? Also, are you taking any magnesium supplements for bone and dental health? Very important. It works together with calcium.

      I’ve had GI issues since I was a baby! They never did any testing and always said diet issues and constipation. Things got a lot worse when I hit 25, eventually got a diagnosis and I am currently 29. Yes, just recently saw my GI doctor in January and things looked pretty good. Very slightly elevated IgA but IgG was good. My ionized calcium is elevated too. I also have hashimotos but my TSH was good.

      Do you have any sense of how long before your diagnosis the onset of your celiac disease may have been? For most of us, there are years that pass between the onset and finally getting a diagnosis and by that time damage has already been done to body systems. May we ask your age? Also, have you had any follow-up testing since diagnosis to check for celiac antibody levels or healing of the villi?
