desserts

My son like all little boys loves cookies.  We have tried a variety of cookies.  The tastes have been variable.  We tried making home made cookies.  The texture of the dough is different especially when making cut out cookies.  We have also had a variety of tastes with different recipes.  We recently tried Betty Crocker cookie mix.  The cookies tasted delicious.  Since finding this mix, we have tweaked this recipe.  We add one cup of chopped unsalted peanuts and crunchy peanut butter.  We buy peanut butter that is labeled gluten free.  after the cookies cool, we store them in tupperware between layers of wax paper.  We freeze them to preserve their freshness.  Try it, you will love it.

gluten free breakfast

In the beginning making breakfast was difficult especially because my son liked pancakes, waffles, and bagels.  We found a great product:  Pamela's baking mix.  We make great pancakes.  we add mashed bananas and chocolate chips.  We  usually make extra so that we can freeze them.  We wrap each one in foil and label them  and then put them in a freezer bag.  It only takes a few minutes to warm them up and they taste great!

making dinner

Since wheat is many different foods, it is sometimes difficult to make dinner.  Today we made angel hair pasta (gluten free by DeBoles).  We added baked chicken breast (cubed), steamed broccoli, and tomato sauce (Wegman's gluten free roasted garlic and tomato).  It was delicious.  When cooking pasta, time it so that it is not overcooked.  This dish freezes well.  Sometimes, we make extra and freeze in portion containers so that dinner can be ready quickly!
