Paz Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 I have been doing fairly well being gluten free expect for the evening. I just need a little something in my stomach to be able to sleep. I have a hard time with rice gluten free crackers and all the gluten free breads, etc. So far I have been resorting to potato chips but don't really think I should eat those every evening. I have been resorting to graham crackers and milk, which are not gluten free, of course. Any ideas for a little something that feels carby but isn't a store bought gluten free concoction of some sort? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

melissel Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 A little popcorn with butter is very comfort-food-y to me. I also just made some GF banana bread that was excellent--might be good to make into little muffins or slices that you can freeze. Just pop one out an hour before bedtime to thaw, then toast a bit and add a bit of butter (or not, it was excellent without!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texasmama Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Have a small bowl of gluten free granola with whatever milk you drink (cow milk, rice milk, almond milk, etc) I make homemade granola that is really good and filling.

Harriet Vane Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Fry a sliced, peeled apple in plenty of butter 2-3 minutes per side. Eat with plain yoghurt. You can add a pinch of cinnamon too if you like. Tastes like a dessert but healthy too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Food4Thought Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 The homemade granola is a great suggestion. Homemade trail mix is an option too - throw together some nuts and raisins and it makes a great snack. Whoever mentioned the fried apples made me super hungry. :glare: My favorite night time snack is a couple pickles and a slice of cheddar cheese. I know it's not carby, but it tends to meet whatever cravings I have. It's a little salty, and crunchy, and filling. A nice cup of decaf chai tea with a splash of almond milk can usually do the trick too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lisa in Jax Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Home made gluten free chocolate chip, chocolate, or sugar cookies? ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaxMom Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 I like a little popcorn with Parmesan & black pepper, good chocolate with nuts, tortilla chips & whatever is in the fridge for dipping (hummus, salsa). As far as baking: I just made chewy walnut squares (with pecans. I don't care for walnuts) and substituted Pamelas for the flour with no difference in texture or flavor. I've also substituted Bob's GF AP flour for the flour in Outrageous Brownies with no difference in the finished product. Ahearn's all-purpose blend (gluten-free girl & the chef blog) made an excellent shortbread crust for my favorite lemon bars (who wants seconds blog), that even my non-GF friends (who love those lemon bars) voted no-difference.

Momof3littles Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 egg custard minute muffin in the microwave using almond flour full fat yogurt w/ a drizzle of honey or a handful of berries coconut milk-whisk a tiny bit in a mug with cocoa powder (I'm assuming straight cocoa powder is GF) and your sweetener of choice. A teensy tiny bit of salt is good in there too. Whisk til it becomes a smooth paste and then top off with the rest of your coconut or almond milk (or regular milk). leftovers whipped ricotta (nice w/ a tiny bit of sweetener) homemade gluten free muffins/quick breads frozen and ready to pull out when you need a snack. Or homemade GF waffles or pancakes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thescrappyhomeschooler Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 mashed potatoesnuts and fruit lara bar corn chips and salsa or hummus lettuce wrap celery is salty with nut butter or cream cheese good chocolate warmed dark chocolate almond milk macaroons Oh my gosh! All of these are sounding good. When I'm pms-y and want a sweet snack, I have an organic brown rice cake with natural peanut butter and organic strawberry fruit spread on it. Mmmm. Date/nut balls or rolls are delicious and feel like a guilty pleasure. Or MelanieM's frozen "snickers" which are pitted Medjool dates filled with a mix of raw almond butter and cocoa powder. You can add a little honey to the almond butter if you want it sweeter. Soooooo good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep some of these cinnamon rolls in the freezer. http://www.glutenfreediva.com/2007/03/the-cinnamon-roll-of-your-dreams/ Once you get the hang of making them they are quite easy.
