 i've noticed that whenever a recipe is asked for, one can be found so i
 am hoping someone can help me out as well.  there are a couple of things
 i have loved before going gf and am trying to recreate them, but i don't
 know even where to begin.  if anyone has a recipe of some sort for
 batter for chicken strips, and for mozerella sticks i would love to hear
 about it! thanks

Rather than batter, you can try "breading" them.  I have used two different
methods:
(1) Keep all your leftover pieces of bread, preferably the home-made kind, in
the freezer, and toast and grind them in a food processor of blender to make
bread crumbs.  Then use the bread crumbs just you would from
gluten-containing breads.
(2) Coat the chicken or cheese using fine grind corn meal (Goya brand is
available in the Spanish or Mexican food sections of many supermarkets).
Again, this is done like any coating. Dip the item to be coated in the corn
meal, then in egg mixed with a lttle water or milk, and then again in the
cornmeal to coat evenly. Bake or fry. You can add whatever spices you like
either to the egg mixture or to the cornmeal. If you're trying to restrict
the number of whole eggs that you eat, you can use just the egg whites; they
work just as well. If you can't find fine grind corn meal, you can use the
coarse grind, but the coating doesn't stick as well.

The bread crumb coating tastes a little sweet made from home-made bread. It's
flavor will, of course, depend on the breads that you make it from.

My kids love the corn meal coating.

Hope this helps.
