<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Dear Listserve Folks, You've all been so supportive of me as I've worried about my family and the effect of celiac disease on them - well, here's a more cheerful post. Read Ian Fleming's Chitty-Chitty-Bang-Bang with your elementary school child. Make fudge. There is a recipe in the back of the book, but I cheated and used an easier one from the Pennsylvania Dutch Cookbook series, Candies, Beverages, and Snacks [This recipe has been removed from the logfiles, as] [it is copyrighted material---the CELIAC Listowners] Read Barbara Park's Junie B. Jones and the Yucky Blucky Fruitcake. Make 'Yucky Blucky Breakfast Cake That Tastes Good' Use any light-colored muffin recipe (not one with carob flour or molasses, and if you use white flour, this is the time for it), preferably a fairly sweet one. I used Bette Hagman's muffin mix recipe in More From the Gluten Free Gourmet BUT for six small muffins, I added in a quarter cup of dried pineapple. A little over one Tb, one child mixed with red food coloring. The same amount, the other child mixed with green. I left the pineapple natural for the yellow, but it got lost so I think next time I'd go ahead and supplement that color with food coloring too. Mix in the fruit carefully - use the food coloring sparingly so that you get red, green, and yellow spots, not a muffin with brown blobs. Lots of fun. Hope these suggestions get some of you parents of young ones through the summer doldrums. Elizabeth
