What are some good recipes for children with Ceoliac disease ?

Question

I have just found out my son has Ceoliac disease. What yummy meals can I make him with this limitation of ingredients ?

Answer 1

The alternative pastas are fairly good. You can make him spaghetti and meatballs. Use gluten free pasta sauce, gluten free pasta (which is very good) and then make meatballs w/ gluten free corn "bread" crumbs. All these ingredients are available at health food stores and even at some regular supermarkets. Just make sure the items say 'gluten free' not 'wheat free'. You can use any meatball recipe you like, but the gluten free bread crumbs are a lot heavier, so you are going to want to use about 2/3 the amount that the recipe recommends.

This site has great recipes for kids with celiac, my grandmother has it, and I found some great recipes there...

Everyone in the family will enjoy these dishes!

Also, on Martha Stewart last week or so ago, they had a gluten free cupcake recipe...they were made by BabyCakes Bakery of NYC! Awesome!

This is not quite a meal but, still fun!

Ingredients
1/2 Cup canola oil, plus more for pan
1 Cup garbanzo and fava bean flour
1/2 Cup potato starch
1 1/4 Cups unrefined sugar
2 1/4 Teaspoons baking powder
1/4 Teaspoon baking soda
1 Teaspoon salt
1/2 Teaspoon xanthan gum
2 Tablespoons ground cinnamon
1/3 Cup store-bought unsweetened applesauce

Directions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Brush a 6 3/4-by-4 1/4-by-2 3/4-inch loaf pan with oil; set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, potato starch, arrowroot, 1 cup sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, xanthan gum, and 1 tablespoon cinnamon.
In a medium bowl, stir together oil, applesauce, and 1 cup hot water. Add oil mixture to flour mixture; stir until well combined. Measure out 1/3 cup of batter and place in a small bowl. Pour remaining batter into prepared loaf pan. Stir remaining 1/4 cup sugar and 1 tablespoon cinnamon into reserved batter. Add to loaf pan, swirling to combine.

Answer 4

They make a lot of gluten free products that you can find at certain stores, I know Martin's is one store but Whole Foods would probably carry these items as well. You can just use these gluten free ingredients in exchange of other ingredients in certain recipes.
