Bob’s Red Mill GF Muffin Mix
Our girlie is a HUGE muffin fan, especially for breakfast! We were on the search for a muffin mix that we could easily make at home when she wanted a muffin and the Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free Muffin Mix was perfect.
Gluten Free Gingerbread House
Another Christmas tradition in our family is making gingerbread houses. The more I read about doing that with celiac disease, the more I was hesitant to do so with our girlie. We don’t eat them, but I didn’t want there to be any chance of her getting sick from working with a gingerbread house with gluten.
Instead, we bought a few boxes of Pamela’s Gluten Free Honey Grahams and made our own! With the help of some vanilla icing and decorations, we had just as much fun with it as we usually do! Introducing our girlie’s “Sweet Shop”! Her brother even joined in on the fun, and there were plenty of graham crackers and decorations for him, too.
Gluten Free Christmas Cookies & Treats
Our family has a tradition of making Christmas cookies every year. Even though this year would be different and gluten free, we were still going to make cookies! After doing a lot of research, we decided to make cookies from the Meaningful Eats website. Her cookies look amazing and there were so many to choose from.
Trader Joe’s Gluten Free Garlic Knots
In my search for an easy gluten free recipe, I found one for garlic knots using Trader Joe’s Gluten Free pizza dough. I watched multiple Tik Tok videos and saw a handful of Pinterest recipes, so I figured that they must be good.
Unfortunately, these got a thumbs-down from the whole family. They were really dense and not nearly garlicy enough.
Intro to My GF Girl
Welcome to our Gluten Free blog! We’re so excited to document this journey - not only to share with others going through this same experience, but for ourselves. It’s a live diary for us to remember what our girl likes, loves and just plain thinks is gross. (she’s 10!)
