As the parents of an autistic child we had many nutrition experts and naturopaths recommend that we put our son on a gluten free diet. When we started looking into it five years ago we were overwhelmed. At that time it seemed there were few choices on the market for packaged GF food and we had no idea how to make many of his favorite meals gluten free. And what about the rest of the family? How were we going to balance out everyone’s needs? So the journey began.
We began to look for good gluten free alternatives on store shelves and found few options. Some things, such as pasta, were easy to come by but others were not. One of our son’s favorite things is chicken nuggets. We found quite a few GF versions out there, but none that he would eat, and they cost a fortune. Even when we did find good GF foods on store shelves we found that cost was a huge issue. A simple pancake and waffle mix was as much as $8 per pound and the aforementioned chicken nuggets, which tasted like sawdust, were as much as $12 per pound. There had to be a better way!
Our quest shifted from buying the things our son liked to making them. We searched for gluten free recipes online and we bought gluten free cookbooks (which were hard to find back then), but found almost all of the recipes to be, shall we say, lacking in the flavor department. Most of them were almost inedible. We knew there had to be a better way, so we put on our aprons and began to create.
As a result of many, many failed attempts (cooking without gluten is no easy trick) we struck on some recipes that became family favorites. You will find recipes like chicken nuggets, key lime pie, French bread and waffles, as well as family favorites like marinated flank steak, chop chop salad, lemon dill salmon and cheesy potato soup. In short, we wanted our recipes to appeal to the WHOLE family.
