What are some of your favorite cookbooks that don't take too much effort or tons of ingredients? I really like crock pot recipes and casseroles because I have two small kids and don't have time to research tons of recipes online or to cook them.

For some family friendly recipes that are gluten-free but not too complicated, I like Open Original Shared Link

 

As far as regular cookbooks go, any crock pot cookbook will work for us Celiacs, you just have to sub in gluten-free ingredients which usually is no big deal.  There are a lot of websites that do crock pot freezer meals, I have made those up for when I had a surgery and could do nothing, and those would probably be nice for you having kids taking up your time.  I like to look at cookbooks at my local library, and I only buy them if I really like them.   Most cookbooks I only like one or two recipes, and I will just hand copy those before they are due back to the library.

 

Edit to add:

A lot of us here who don't have as much time but still have to cook from scratch do a lot of batch cooking.  Cook up more than you need and freeze, and things like casseroles are really good for that.  Taco meat, soups, a lot of things freeze really well.  That way you can do the work of one meal and have it carry over for a few more.

This site is a year's worth (and more!) of gluten-free crockpot recipes.  I like the ones I have tried so far, and you'll see lots of feedback for each one.  Open Original Shared Link

I haven't tried any of the recipes yet, but cooking.com has some gluten free recipes that look good. All you have to do is put gluten free in the search box and they come up.

I have two of Danielle Walker's cookbooks - Against All Grain and Meal Made Simple.  There's only been one recipe that I don't like.  These are my "go to" cookbooks.  I love them.

My fav "go to" when I run out of time is to mix about 1/4 cup or so coconut oil with some organic mustard and a little water making a sauce. Stir it up, pour over chicken. Add some capers if you want. Bake and serve.

Most recipes from any cook book can be easily adapted to gluten free. This excludes baking, which is a whole other can of worms.

As for Crock pot recipes, I love Phyllis Pellman Good's "Fix It and Forget It" and "Fix it and Forget It Lightly". These are paperback and not too expensive.

      Gluten free vitamins

      By trents · Posted

      The forms that vitamin and mineral supplements come in can be important. Bioavailability (i.e., how well they are absorbed) is often sacrificed for the sake of cost and shelf life. The vitamin or mineral you are targeting is always chemically combined with other elements to make them into a dispensable form (such as a powder, liquid or a pill) and to give them some chemical stability for shelf life.

      @llisa, back then when you tried magnesium and it upset your tummy, I'm guessing you were using the most common form of magnesium found on store shelves, namely, magnesium oxide. It has a reputation for having a laxative effect. It is not very well absorbed and so draws a lot of water into the colon, just like the laxative known as milk of magnesia. I'm guessing if you would switch to the "glycinate" form of magnesium you would not have this problem. Magnesium glycinate is absorbed much better. If you can't find magnesium glycinate at your local stores, you can order gluten free brands of it off of Amazon.

      I've tried magnesium before. Twice in 2 years. It really upset my stomach. And that was before this celiac disease diagnosis. (Finally, after 2 years of trying to find out what was wrong with me.) I have no idea how sensitive I am. When my stomach was upset, I'd go to my comfort foods: cream of wheat, cheese and crackers, scrambled eggs and toast...so, making myself worse by trying to feel better.  Just got results of biopsy yesterday, so today is first day of trying no gluten and reading that it can be hiding in vitamins and meds. So, I welcome ALL advice and personal experiences. No advice is too basic. I know nothing. Thank you!

      Have you considered also supplementing with magnesium and zinc? We usually recommend these two as well. D3, Calcium and Magnesium all important for bone and nerve health.
