Yogurt/smoothies - Peach and strawberry.

For those avoiding ALL casein (not just cow's milk) - I suppose you could alter this and use some other type (coconut, almond, etc.) of "milk".

I bought a 32 oz container of plain goat's milk yogurt and divided it in two to make two different flavors. Even though it's yogurt - in the end (after adding the fruit) it's more like a smoothie.

Peach:
16 oz yogurt (or almond milk, etc.)
2 peaches (I skinned mine)
2 tbsp. coconut sugar
additional sugar (I used 1 tsp. beet sugar)

Strawberry:
16 oz yogurt (or almond milk, etc.)
8 oz strawberries (organic if possible - these are often high in pesticides)
2 tbsp. coconut sugar
additional sugar (I used 1 tsp. beet sugar)

Directions: Blend all together in a blender.

I poured some into bowls for my kids to enjoy fresh. I put some into home-made popsicle makers for some frozen treats later. The rest I put into containers in the fridge. Enjoy!

Kamut no more :(

Sadly - I won't be using Kamut in my near-future recipes as I think my son has now developed a sensitivity to it (probably still not as bad as wheat - lower gluten - but still not gluten-free so over time I think he's gotten more sensitive to it). I may try it again later but for now I'll be switching over. Feel free to use Kamut in some of my recipes even if I don't - if you (your child) can tolerate it.

All Natural Gluten Free Yellow Play Dough!!!

This isn't really something to "eat" but... it's something I did have to use a recipe for and cook and I wanted it to be safe for my kids in case they do decide to put it in their mouths.

I took a recipe I found online and changed what I needed to make it gluten-free and to add color.

Recipe:

1/2 cup gluten-free flour (I used all purpose gluten-free flour).

1/2 cup corn starch

1/2 cup salt

2 tsp. cream of tartar

2 tablespoons turmeric (spice for color)

1 cup of water

1 tsp. cooking oil

Stir in all dry ingredients in a medium sauce pan then add water and oil and place on low heat. Stir and it will thicken. Turn off heat when you've stired it into a sort of "ball". Take it out and place into a glass container/jar to cool - with lid. I put that in the fridge so it would cool faster. When you take it out just "play" with it - ball it up until it sort of mixes up - then it's ready to play with!!
