Gluten Free Recipes and Gluten and Casein Free RecipesGluten free recipes for soups, meals, and breads are included. I have easy gluten free diet recipes for desserts and snacks that will gladden your heart while helping you heal. I use Pacific brand unflavored rice milk in many recipes. For powdered milk I use Vance's Dari-Free, but that is a personal preference. These substitutions will be mainly for creamed soups or frostings. My regular recipes generally don't include casein at all.
The best way to maximize your time is to make large meals when you have time, and freeze portions for the times you can't cook from scratch. Even if you only have leftover rice from chicken and rice, for example, it can be substituted for the bread or noodle portion of a different meal, provided the meat and vegetables are seasoned gluten free.This works well in families where only one person is on the gluten free diet. Cooking two separate meals daily is just too hard. Gluten free meals 2 or 3 times a week for It is hard to be the "odd man out" if you are the only one who is gluten free. Especially in the case of children, it is important to make them feel as normal as possible. So the more meals that they can share the same food, the better. Substituting one portion is much better than an entirely separate meal. Home should be one place they don't have to feel different. It is wise to prepare their plate first though, so that a gluten covered serving spoon is not accidentally used for their serving. In substituting one portion they learn how to work around their dietary limitations too. The Paleo DietFor some, all grains seem to cause difficulty. If you have found yourself uncomfortable after eating even gluten free grains, you might want to try using the Paleo diet. This diet is not just gluten and casein free, but totally grain free. It can be a good way to start your gluten free diet too, while you are healing. This can be a temporary thing until you've healed enough to tolerate other grains, or you can stay on the Paleo diet if you like the way it feels. It is also helpful if you would like to lose weight. You can read more about the Paleo Diet on this page. This can add to your recipes for meals and snacks that are gluten and casein free. White Sauces and RouxBecause of the fast pace of life today, many people have never made a white sauce or a roux. I have a page of instructions on how to make these thickeners with gluten free flours. You will need them to thicken stews and make a version of "cream of" (ie: mushroom, chicken, celery, asparagus) soups that is gluten and perhaps dairy free. They will be helpful for several of my gluten free recipes. Recipes Soups
