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.  :)

      Does this definitely suggest Coeliac Disease?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The positive Anti-deamidated Gliadin IgA result (12 U/ml) suggests possible celiac disease, but it is not definitive on its own, as this marker can also be elevated in other conditions or even in non-coeliac gluten sensitivity (NCGS). Do you know if they also ran a tTg-Iga test? This is the definitive test for celiac disease. The absence of classical symptoms like significant bloating or pain upon gluten reintroduction, along with your history of IBS and sensitivity to legumes, complicates the picture (legumes can be cross-contaminated with wheat). While celiac disease remains a possibility, other conditions like NCGS, leaky gut, or additional food intolerances could also explain your symptoms. A biopsy would provide more conclusive evidence for celiac disease, but for that you need to be eating lots of gluten daily in the weeks leading up to the endoscopy. In the meantime, adopting a gluten-free diet and supporting gut health with supplements (e.g., probiotics, L-glutamine) may help reduce inflammation and symptoms, but it’s important to consult a healthcare professional to tailor your approach and rule out other underlying issues. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.

      Has anyone struggled with high blood pressure?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      Abscesses on legs

      I don’t think it matters much, there’s another type of cordyceps but I’m not sure if there’s a lot of difference, the one I’m using is cordyceps sinensis from maesyffin in wales, sinensis is the one with a long history of medicinal use in china. I think the alcohol (vodka) in the tincture helps with uptake vs taking capsules. And yes, changing my diet helped but it’s almost impossible to maintain as I can’t eat any lectins or sugar which is almost everything. Low lectin is about the best to hope for, they’re in everything. I can eat teff, millet, hemp seeds, blueberries, strawberries, blackcurrants, yogurt, cheese, walnuts, pistachios, macadamia, Brazil nuts, broccoli, sweet potato, carrots, beetroot, olives, rocket, onions, garlic, avocado, kale, mushrooms, chlorella/spirulina, and fish. That’s about it. I keep quail and make their food myself because lectins get into the commercial pellet fed chickens eggs. It took me years of adding one thing at a time with three weeks of pain every time I got it wrong to figure this out but there’s a finger prick blood test available now that will tell you which foods are triggering your autoimmune system, they test for 200+ different proteins and measure igg and ige antibodies. Good luck, I hope the mushrooms help but best to address the cause of the problem I think and have the igg and ige antibody test. The test won’t work if you’re already taking the mushrooms.
