Quiver0f10 Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 We are going to some friends house on Wednesday and I want to bring a dessert. One of their children has celiac desease so I want to make sure it's something she can have too. Any ideas? Thanks! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MNClaire Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 I was diagnosed with Celiac disease recently, so I want to thank you about being thoughtful about what you are bringing! First of all, some grocery stores carry gluten-free products in their health food aisles that make for very tasty deserts. Namaste makes a very good spice cake, The Gluten-Free Pantry and Pamelas brand have very good mixes as well. Obviously, the things to look out for are anything containing wheat, barley or rye..and the jury is still out among doctors whether to keep oats off that list as well. Be on the lookout, also, for maltodextrin and modified food starch. Those normally are from wheat, and can cause a reaction. If you want to stay simple, buy some pure vanilla ice cream like Breyers or Hagan Daaz. A great warm-weather treat and kids love ice cream! Also, you can take some cut fresh strawberries or raspberries and sprinkle that on top. Hope that helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nayner Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Bob's Red Mill has a great brownie mix. I think Pamela's does too. The brownies can be topped with fudge... 12oz chocolate chips melted with sweetened condensed milk. Nestle's chocolate syrup is gluten free.

Camy-7 boybarians 1 lady Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Jean, that is so sweet that you are willing to make a GF snack for them! I have a gluten-sensitive son. You can substitute 3/4 cup of white rice flour + 1 tsp. of xanthan or guar gum (guar is cheaper, btw) for 1 cup of flour in recipes. I made the Hillbilly Housewife brownies with this method and they were delish! You may want to make sure those children can have eggs and dairy, too. Hillbilly Houswife Brownies (you can also click on her fudge-like brownies on that page) Blessings, Camy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quiver0f10 Posted July 28, 2008 Author Share Posted July 28, 2008 Thanks everyone! We have a health food store nearby so I think I will see if I can find some brownies. Maybe bring a carton of breyers vanilla ice cream and some nestle choc syrup for brownie sundays. What do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kathy in MD Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 We are going to some friends house on Wednesday and I want to bring a dessert. One of their children has celiac desease so I want to make sure it's something she can have too. Any ideas? Thanks! :) I suggest that you be super careful that no product containing gluten or object that's touched gluten gets close to your desert. Some Celiacs are hyper sensitive to gluten. For example, my bil ordered a meal without the bun. The meal was delivered on the bun, but he couldn't just remove the bun andeatthe meat, the meat already had too much gluten for him.

Ellie Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 I made rice pudding for my gluten-free guests. It's an easy recipe: start with cooked rice, use twice as much *coconut milk* as rice, add some sweetener, and cook on top of the stove until it's pudding. Add some vanilla when it finishes cooking. Voila! Yummy dessert :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenny in Atl Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 All I can say is YAAAAA! It's hard to live with food issues, and it's lovely to have a friend willing to make something special her child can eat. :grouphug: I'm another fan of Pamela's mixes if you are pressed for time & $.
