Our Girl’s First Gluten Free Sleepover
Once we had received our daughter’s celiac diagnosis, one of our biggest concerns was finding ways for her to still feel included with her friends. We knew parties, sleepovers, school events and anything with gluten-focused treats would be hard for her. All of the birthday cakes, cookies or cupcakes at school parties (and other events) were going to make her feel left out, and we wanted to do whatever we could to prevent that.
Trader Joe’s Gluten Free Double Chocolate Muffins
Trader Joe’s has a good selection of gluten free items, but our daughter’s favorite there is BY FAR the Gluten Free Double Chocolate muffins. She said you can’t even tell that this muffin is gluten free! And you know it’s good when she has to argue with her non-celiac brother over who gets the last one.
Perdue Gluten Free Chicken Tenders
This was a huge win in our house! One of our girl’s biggest concerns when she found out she had celiac disease was about chicken nuggets. If she couldn’t have gluten, how could she still enjoy one of her favorite foods. We’ve hit the jackpot with this find at Costco!
Tru Fru
Our family has always been fans of Tru Fru products, so we were extremely happy to find out that most of them are gluten free! These strawberries covered in white chocolate and milk chocolate are delicious, have the gluten free logo, and get a thumbs up from our girl.
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.
Our Gluten Free Costco Haul
We’re always looking for more gluten free goodies for our girl, so we took a trip to Costco this weekend to see if we could find any new options. We definitely did and they look delicious!
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!)
