vouch for what non gf banana bread tastes like see aforementioned hatred of bananas but to me i can t tell this bread is gluten free it is dense but not spongy it s moist but not mushy it has just the right amount of sweetness the crust is the best part a little crunchy a little chewy this bread is so delicious i will definitely be making it again and again and again so far i love better batter s flour mix it is a cup for cup substitute that stands up in recipes really well if you haven t browsed their website yet check out their recipe archive so many good recipes it leaves my head spinning if you live in arizona the only place i have been able to find better batter products is at gluten free country store check them out asap love them posted by steph at 7 56 pm 1 comment labels better batter gluten free bread gluten free country store gluten free recipes product review sunday july 17 2011 little crawler dairy light and thanks hi everyone i hope you all are enjoying your summer the heat here in arizona has been absolutely brutal ben and i aren t getting out of the house much these days because i just can t handle toting a nearly 20 lb baby around in his 20 lb carseat without dying of heat stroke so my days have been filled with this and with rescuing benjamin from sticky situations like these and this as you can tell he is officially mobile he is in every single corner of this house and is exploring every possible inch he can get to it has been a lot of fun watching him discover his world but it also doesn t leave very much downtime for me i m enjoying every day as it comes but am collapsing into bed each night completely exhausted i m going to have my hands full with this kid to play a little catch up benjamin just turned 6 months old he is tipping the scales at just over 19 pounds and his doctor has confirmed that he is definitely bigger overall than most babies his age but he s perfectly plump and not overweight lol we have gotten his acid reflux under control finally he has a pretty severe case requiring 2 different medications to keep it under control he s become a much more pleasant little boy since figuring it out he s also started solids i give him rice cereal as well as vegetable and fruit purees he s taken to it really well and so far isn t a very picky eater fingers crossed this continues i m making the majority of his baby food except for a few things that i can t get a smooth enough texture out of like green beans and things i m not interested in trying to puree like prunes blech i talked to his pediatrician at his most recent appointment about his milk protein sensitivity he told me that as he gets older his threshold for how much he can tolerate will increase so after what 4 months or so of being dairy free i now consider myself dairy light i am allowing a little bit of dairy in my diet okay full confession time i may have gone a little overboard in the last few days because i m so excited about having some of my favorites again oh and for the record the first splurge was pizza and ranch dressing i nearly died in the car afterwards when i realized i could eat cream cheese again and no more spending a ridiculous 6 for a bag of dairy free mini chocolate chips i m so excited about having more options again that i am itching to get in the kitchen and dust off my apron and get to baking with you know real butter i recently tried the better batter gluten free flour mix to make breaded chicken breasts and i loved it so i can t wait to see how it holds up in other recipes hopefully sometime this week i ll have my answer benjamin s pediatrician is also 100 on board with not introducing any form of gluten into ben s diet until i feel comfortable have i mentioned that i love his doctor right now i won t even think about it until probably after he turns a year old which will be never right because my baby is never going to grow up right i m going to wait until then to make a more firm decision based on what feels right to us lastly to wrap this up so i can go to bed because it s 9 28 pm and therefore encroaching on my bedtime i just want to thank everyone who wrote to me to give me their tips on being dairy free i appreciate all the advice that was given to me it s always hard to start a new elimination diet so to have people telling me what works for them was a big help to me and i appreciate all the encouragement and support thank you posted by steph at 9 36 pm 1 comment labels benjamin gf df tuesday may 10 2011 gluten free jubilee at sprouts gluten free jubilee is back at

might have hit a breakthrough it hasn t been easy though last week was hard on top of being fussy ben started to really fight me at feedings he would latch unlatch arch his back away from me squirm cry sometimes scream it was exhausting and truly baffling i was at a month being dairy free which originally seemed like the answer but here i was my baby was sleeping less and was now apparently trying to launch himself away from me while screaming during feedings and to top it all off the eczema on his legs was flaring up we took him in to the doctor s office because i just didn t know what direction i should take continue dairy free test it find out if it s a different food he also started fighting taking a bottle like a champ we switched him to soy formula which he took to fine at first he gets formula in the few instances i m away from him then he would have nothing to do with it so was soy a problem but he won t take the hypoallergenic read formula either is he just being opinionated and picky as you can see my head was spinning so fast and i didn t know what to do within the first 5 minutes of being with the doctor he said yep he has reflux he wrote us a prescription for zantac that really seems to be helping a lot he told me to wait a week and then try to start challenging the dairy and see if ben has a reaction he said to just start eating dairy as i normally would but to be honest i am totally chicken to just jump back in i m afraid i m going to eat something cheesy and delicious then follow it up with a big ol bowl of chocolate ice cream then all of the sudden at 3 am ben is going to unlatch look up at me with his red eyes sprout horns and before i have a chance to protect myself he ll just eat my head right off i m baby steppin dunking my little pinky toe back into the dairy pool if you will i had some ranch dressing the other day i know right then allowed myself a chocolate pudding cup a while later yesterday i had the same but i threw some white cheddar cheetos in the mix so far ben has been an angel last night he even slept 7 1 2 hours straight i don t anticipate this happening again however i feel like babies like to giveth and then taketh away and laugh in your face while you re crying from sleep deprivation deep down in my heart though i m secretly hopeful that the reflux has been the problem all along and i can go back to my life wherein i drowned myself in cheese and ice cream and chocolate cupcakes also my birthday is about a week away and i would really like to eat an entire gluten free chocolate cake with chocolate frosting all by myself and not suffer the wrath of demon dairy baby this week i finally made my first solo outing with the baby and where did i go gluten free country store of course it had been waaaaay too long since i d be there and boy have i been missing out they have so much good stuff and a ton of things i haven t tried yet i was sad though because without knowing whether or not i am staying dairy free i had to turn down a lot of really good looking food i ll definitely be making another stop if i get to enjoy dairy again but i did get better batter flour mix to try and also some enjoy life dairy free chocolate chips and some dairy free soy free butter so do i see some chocolate chip cookies in my future hmmm maybe also happy earth day image credit this year in our house we are trying to lessen our waste amd reduce our carbon footprint by starting to cloth diaper about 3 4 of the time at least at first so we re going green and saving some green at the same time hooray alright well i m off to take care of the baby what s that you d like to see some super adorable pictures of him okay dang i make cute babies posted by steph at 3 19 pm 3 comments labels benjamin gf df gluten free country store monday april 11 2011 gf df week 3 funny story amazon and granola bars i made it through another week this week was hard i m not going to lie chocolate is my best friend and i ve been thinking about it constantly it s a weakness it s hard too that everywhere i look there is delicious easter candy on sale of all the holidays and yes i do rate them based on candy selection easter candy is my favorite delicious chocolate bunnies and tiny chocolate eggs and even better chocolate eggs stuffed with all kinds of yummies i love it all and i m lusting over it in the aisles of the grocery stores ben was also having a bit of a rough week i m blaming a growth spurt so i was feeling a bit defeated but i stuck it out and i have decided to divert my attention to making homemade strawberry sorbet hooray while i m talking about my adjustment to being dairy free i have to share a funny story last saturday brandon and i were celebrating our anniversary 2 days early and went to dinner at the same fancy restaurant we go to every year i was concerned about navigating the menu now that i had extra precautions to take i made sure to tell the waiter to omit the butter on my steak and we had him hunt down a gf df dessert option hence my new obsession with strawberry sorbet and i thought yay i aced my first restaurant trip so here s the funny part i was really worried about my salad course they had a wedge salad but i knew i couldn t have ranch dressing on it i m not much of a fan of other dressings so i chose something else something that only had oil and vinegar on it what was it fresh mozzarella and sweet tomato salad caprese essentially i ate it enjoyed it didn t think anything of it and neither did brandon hahaha i was sooo concerned about avoiding the dairy in ranch dressing that i ate three slices of mozzarella cheese without so much of a second thought but what makes this story even funnier i didn t realize that i did this until a week later for some reason that salad popped in my head and i stopped and thought waaaaiiiitttt a second mozzarella is cheese i told brandon later and he had the same reaction as me i can t believe we missed that hahaha duuuhhhhh i ve been so used to just looking for hidden gluten that it s kinda hard to switch gears and analyze all ingredients for dairy too oy well there s always a learning curve in other news i have to say that i love love love amazon i buy a rediculous amount of stuff from there already but i ve just recently discovered the joys of ordering gluten free products from there as well for example my 6 pack of kinnikinnick animal cookies just arrived today and i m already plowing through my first box but what s even better is that you can get a 3 pack of udi s gluten free granola or if you don t want to commit to one flavor you can get their sampler pack how convenient is that i love it what i especially love is that a 3 pack is only 14 00 which equals out to about 4 67 a pouch i think at sprouts i pay 5 6 each ouch i love their granola so this is a major score for me by the way i m not getting paid or anything to say this i m just genuinely excited to find this as i can t always get to sprouts when i m out of these things because of the little one finding udi s gluten free granola sold in bulk on amazon is perfect timing because i just made the most addicting gluten free granola bars i use to love putting their granola in yogurt but since i can t do that anymore i had to find a different way to get my fix granola bars are perfect because i can grab it quick and eat it on the go and one handed that is a must these days the batch i just made last friday barely lasted through the weekend it was sooo addicting here s the recipe in case you want to give it a try i m going to type it up exactly as i did it i had to wing it a bit because i discovered that my light brown sugar was as hard as a rock so i improvised and used granulated sugar and 2 tablespoons of molasses my next time making it i will probably half the molasses because that flavor was very prominent to me when i first bit into it these are also pretty sweet so make adjustments according to your preference chewy gluten free granola bars 1 4 cup butter i used dairy free earth balance 1 4 cup honey 1 4 cup granulated sugar 2 tablespoons molasses 1 package udi s gluten free au naturel
