Ice-cream is yummy. ESPECIALLY from the truck. When it's hot out after school ice cream from the ice cream truck would be a nice treat. Too bad you can't have the cone. And I don't know what's in the ice cream. The good thing is that the Firecracker Popsicle is gluten-free. But you have to have one of your parents check to make sure. Because they can change the recipe if they want to.
You might get a little upset when you see other kids having ice cream on a cone. But that doesn't mean there aren't gluten free cones. They don't have them at the ice cream truck. But you can get them at Whole Foods. They taste just like regular cones.

Mama Mondays
I love to bake. And the Kid and I have been baking together for a long time -- even though she's 7. So when we heard she had celiac, my first worry was how would we bake again?
Luckily, we're not the first to think about this! There are so many wonderful recipes, blogs, and cookbooks out there aimed at the gluten-free baker. While I am starting to learn how to use xantham gum, tapioca starch, quinoa flour and other strange items I had never heard of before, I am not too proud to dive into a pre-made mix to ensure the Kid's craving for a muffin or brownie can be fed.
So for my first post on Gluten Free Rocks, I thought I would name a couple of my favorite cookbooks, blogs and mixes that we've tried in our short four months...I am working on some recipes of my own, but let's just say I don't think they're quite ready to be shared. (we've had some fun disasters!)
But these are great and I recommend heartily:
King Arthur Gluten-Free Mixes (we LOVE the brownies...amazing!)
Pamela's Baking and Pancake Mix (the best gluten-free pancake mix we've found so far)
Tartelette (Gorgeous to read, her story inspiring, her recipes are amazing!)
Cannelle et Vanille (also gorgeous, and some dairy-free recipes too...!)
Gluten-Free Baking Classics (Banana Nut Muffins are EXCELLENT...we upped the cinnamon...)
the Gluten-Free Almond Flour cookbook (recommended by our friends at Chew On This...almond flour is the best thing I've found and we love the recipe in here for chicken fingers)
A short list, I know. But all have been helpful for this mama to help her celiac kid feel that being gluten-free rocks!
