This past week went well. I posted some of my meals and recipes from earlier in the week. I think we had 4 nights of gluten-free dinners. I am struggling to find some good ideas for breakfast and lunch. I am most worried about finding hearty, tasty, quick breakfasts for Dan (hubby who does not like oatmeal) as well as lunches for Ryan and Abi during the school year.
Resources: Here's what I've found so far that have been really helpful (aside from a few of my great friends to point me in the right direction):
1. Gluten Free Goddess: http://glutenfreegoddess.blogspot.com/
I love this site, but there's not a lot of recipes. Her intro and story are great. She had a lot of good information that helped me understand what to look for and what to avoid.
2. Celiac Family: http://celiacfamily.com/
Another great blog, this time from a mom in a more similar situation to what I am dealing with. She does have a blurb about school lunches, so we'll see how it goes. It looks like she has A LOT more recipes.
3. Book: Gluten Free on a Shoestring by Nicole Hunn
I haven't followed her recipes to a t yet, but its only been a week. Tomorrow I plan on making one of the sandwich breads to see how that goes.
Food: So, we've had some successes this week in trying some of the gluten-free foods. We tried some of the Udi's bread and thought it was fine. I really liked their chocolate chocolate chip muffins... I found no difference in them at all. We've also had Wegman's brand gluten-free waffles. Again-Ryan ate this with no problems at all.
Problem to find a solution for: I am not finding a lot of gluten free AND egg free items or recipes (with bread items in particular). I have an egg substitute that i've used in baking (applesauce), but I wonder if it will work with gluten-free recipes... I guess only time will tell. I'll keep you posted.
