Gluten-free Kids Recipes

Gluten Free Lunch for Kids

Often I receive requests for gluten-free kids recipes.  I no longer have children at home and my grandchildren live out of town.  I do have a category for gluten-free kids recipes, but do not have enough to satisfy my readers with kids.  I thought perhaps that having a separate forum for those who wish to share gluten-free recipes for kids; links to those recipes that are copyrighted; gluten-free kid-friendly restaurants; any allergy, autism, ADHD or celiac disease kids information pertaining to kids on a gluten-free diet.  A couple of moms wish to learn and share what they know.  Share in our new forum here.

Gluten Free Tostada Shells

Gluten-free Tostada Shell

Months ago I purchased a couple tostada shell pans and never got around to my tortilla shell experiment, but after making the soft corn tortillas from the Viva Vegan! cookbook, I just had to see if I could make gluten-free tostada shells with masa flour (corn flour treated with lime), without deep frying.  So, a couple of weeks ago, I got to experimenting and I share with you my findings for making the shells for gluten free tostadas.

Gluten Free Corn Muffins with Pears and Expandex

One of my family members was recently diagnosed with high blood pressure and requested  a batch of my low-sodium baked goods. Since their favorite fruit is pears I decided on my gluten-free pear corn muffins. Because they are not on a gluten-free diet and not used to heavy gluten-free food, I decided to experiment and add a little bit more tapioca flour (1/3 cup instead of 1/4 cup) and 1/4 cup of Expandex. Expandex also improves shelf life and helps save the texture of gluten-free foods while freezing. Wow!  They really expanded and rose very nicely. In addition, I noticed that muffins made with Expandex had a nice crunchy muffin top, where the prior muffins had a soft top even where brown.

Gluten Free Beef Stew Chili

Gluten Free Chili Beef Stew

This gluten free beef stew recipe is actually another one of my gluten free chili recipes without tomatoes, (due to my allergies). Some assume chili is naturally gluten-free, but if you use a package chili mix it may very well contain wheat gluten. This chili recipe is thickened with potato starch, though you may use cornstarch, if that is all you have on hand. You may also add tomatoes to this recipe, if you wish, which will sweeten it up a bit, or you can sweeten it with sugar, agave nectar, stevia or a combination of any of these. It is wonderful over baked french fries, which is how I used it, or you can top it over baked potatoes or rice. It is only a tad spicy, so if you like it hot, spice it up a bit more using additional cumin and chili powder. The worcestershire sauce gives it more a beef stew flavor, therefore, if you desire more a chili flavor, just skip it or add more chili powder. Enjoy! Continue reading “Gluten Free Beef Stew Chili”

Savory Gluten Free Chicken Salad on Rudi’s Bread

Gluten-free Savory Chicken Salad

I was out of town and running low on my Udi’s gluten-free sandwich bread.  I wanted to pick some up while I was out, just in case. I went to Whole Foods in Napa, California and could not find Udi’s bread, but many other brands I lifted each one, looking for a light-weight bread like Udi’s, but they were all heavy, until…I found Rudi’s gluten-free bread! I thought, “Oh my! This is light!” I ended up not using it, but placed it in my sister’s freezer and brought it home with me. I was still using my Udi’s bread, until I realized I had not yet tried the Rudi’s bread. Wow! The texture is just like regular white bread! See the photo below for yourself. This made a great savory chicken salad sandwich.

Gluten Free Taco Pizza with Udi’s Gluten Free Pizza Crust

Image: Gluten Free Taco Pizza

I received a couple of Udi’s Gluten Free Pizza Crust to review. Because I am allergic to tomatoes, I often end up having a no sauce pizza or a pesto pizza. This time I came up with a sauce I can have, taco sauce without tomatoes! Why didn’t I ever think of that before, I do not know why!  My husband tasted my pizza and liked it better than his!  This recipe is much lower in sodium than most pizzas, too! Udi’s gluten free pizza crust made it delicious, as well! Now when you don’t have time to make your own gluten free pizza dough, you know what to buy.
