This is a kosher cake product, fyi.
City Baking LLC, Long island City, NY is recalling 781 individually wrapped City
Baking brand Apple Crumb Cakes, because they contain Walnuts, which were
inadvertently omitted from the label. The product was distributed to 31 accounts
in the following states: NY,, NJ, PA, NC, MD, VA, MA, and ME. It was shipped by
UPS directly from City Baking's only warehouse, in Long Island City, NY. The
individually wrapped City Baking brand Apple Crumb Cakes can be identified by a
bag code, either #161 or 169 and UPC # 854142000165. The product is 3 Ľ oz, and
is packaged in a transparent plastic wrap. The problem was identified on June
25, 2009 when an anonymous caller from Boston contacted City Baking LLC to
inform them that the City Baking brand Apple Crumb Cake ingredient label did not
list Walnuts as an ingredient, but walnuts were clearly present in the product.
A subsequent investigation by City Baking LLC of the label indicated that
Walnuts were not listed due to a temporary breakdown in the company's labeling
procedures; this was attributed to the introduction of a new label software
program installed within the last 6 months. The label has since been corrected.
We suggest any consumers who still have the product to return it to City Baking
LLC for a full refund, or call us at 718-392-8514, between 7:30AM and 4PM
Eastern Time, and then destroy it. Please call City Baking LLC with any
questions, or concerns.
I've been seeing someone who specializes in food allergies. She said to rotate what you use every 4 to 5 days to avoid becoming allergic to that food. So if you use corn or cornflakes every day be careful or your child may become allergic to it after awhile. Sandy

Cyndi,
I am in a strictly kosher home, w/a 4 y.o. daughter who has had anaph. to egg and dairy. The house is completely free of things she is allergic to: nuts, eggs, sesame, coconut, cherries (which is a flavoring in many juices & pops). She is also allergic to dairy, safflower oil and honey, but we do have very few products with those things in them and very carefully eat those. IN addition I am on a gluten-free diet. My kids do not like potatoes!
It is a total fallacy that you need egg to cook with. We do fine without it.
Sweet potato tsimmes is a mainstay in my house, I use the recipe from the NY times Passover book. You can melt marshmallows on top to make it more appealing if need be, but we don’t.
Also turkey burgers with lots of parsely, garlic, onion, salt, I use bread crumbs as a binder instead of egg. You could use a gluten free sub for that. For me I add curry, scallions and lime juice in the meat, and also to deglaze the pan before I remove my burgers. I use 1 lb. Empire ground white, 2 lbs empire ground dark. You can make meatballs with these too which are delicious. Everyone in my family loves these.
I make cornflake chicken with chicken on the bone, I wash the chicken and without drying it, put it into a Ziploc bag with mashed cornflakes, salt and garlic powder. Shake hard! You don’t need the egg at all. I drizzle margarine on it and then bake in the oven. Everyone loves it.
Trader joes makes a sesame free hummus which everyone loves and is great for on the road/lunch boxes. We dip carrots, celery, corn tortillas and regular tortillas in them. Or make wraps with them.
I sent you a separate email about the practicalness of such a strict elimination diet. I would ask them to keep soy in as you adjust to the strictness of this diet, or insist on Ige and IgG blood testing. I have had the latter and it has made a huge difference in my life.

You might like to subscribe to clanthompson.com It is a newsletter with a lot of good information. Also celiac.com has useful information on the website.
I suggest you take a look at the cookbook, Incredible Edible Gluten Free Food for Kids by Sheri L. Sanderson. I am sure Barnes & Noble could bring it in for you if they don't already have a copy in their store. Here is a recipe from the book:
Chicken Nuggets
3 tablespoons margarine, melted
2 teaspoons gluten free Worcestershire sauce
2 whole chicken breasts, skinned, boned and cut into 1 inch pieces
1 cup gf corn flakes, crushed to 1/2 cup (I use Nature's Path Corn Flakes. I think they are better then some other brands.)
(It calls for Parmesan cheese (1 ounce) but I don't use cheese and especially if you are Kosher you would not want to add it)
Directions: PREHEAT OVEN TO 450 DEGREES
1. Stir together margarine and Worcestershire sauce in a small flat bowl or pie pan. Add a few pieces of the chicken to coat.
2. In a plastic bag combine crushed chips with margarine and Worcestershire sauce. Shake well.
3. Place the pieces in a single layer on a lightly greased cookie sheet with a 1/2 inch lip or on a shallow baking pan. Repeat with the remaining pieces.
4. Bake in 450 degree oven for 9-10 minutes or until the chicken is no longer pink.
Here is a couple replacements for an egg.
1. 3 tablespoons prepared unflavored gelatin (mix 1 package of unflavored gelatin with 1 cup boiling water until dissolved--keep in refrigerator and microwave to a liquid before using.)
In the back of the above book is a list of substitutions.
I also suggest you use arrowroot instead of cornstarch. That way you are not using so much corn. The replacement for cornstarch is 1 cup for 1 cup. Sandy

I am new to this group. I joined because my 12 year old son has Eosinophilic Esophagitis. We are not quite sure yet all of the foods that give him symptoms, but we know that eggs do. Our allergist also took him off wheat, oats, potato, soy, peanuts, tree nuts and sesame for now (although he has eaten a little wheat, with no reaction). Soon we will be able to try each food to see if he reacts. I've looked through some of the posts, and it seems like most of you have issues with gluten. Is this true? Although a wheat free diet is difficult, I'm finding it very difficult to deal without eggs and potato. Many gluten free products have potato in them. Anyone else dealing with similar issues?
Garlic Powder or Onion Powder (adjust for your taste)
Mix together. Mixture should taste salty. Store covered in refrigerator.

We are gluten free and potato free. Cooking and baking from scratch is ultimately cheaper and better peace of mind. Tapioca flour, corn starch, and rice flour are good replacement flours For recipes that you usually add potatoes (e.g., pot roast), use kolrabi instead -- you can even mash it, but don't overmash or it becomes watery. Look for egg-free recipes that use oil, instead. Stick to canola and olive oils. Think simple and basic. As much as possible, make big batches and freeze so you don't have to cook every single mealtime. (Search "month at a time cooking".)
I regularly share this dessert recipe, but it's worth sharing again. It saved me yet again this morning when I realized I forgot to buy/make a snack for my daughter's moving party! Melt chocolate in the microwave. Add "things". Pour onto wax paper-covered plate. Sprinkle with jimmies. Stick in fridge/freezer until hard. Break into pieces. Serve. Start to finish, about 15 minutes (including freezer time)! As for "things", you can add raisins, cornflakes or other cereal, pomegranate seeds (dried well, first - nice in white chocolate), nuts he tolerates (cashews? almonds?), anything else that's dry.
I truly believe that as long as we can have our sweets, any diet is maintainable!

I've been on a celiac diet since 2004. I have some advice, because my house is free of gluten, soy, dairy, egg, processed sugar, peanuts, treif foods, usually corn, and I'm weaning my kids off oats.
I've come to realize, after joining my local celiac support group, that there's information and products that I had not known about, before I joined. So, that helped me a lot. And there are blogs with recipes that are gluten-free and cassein-free because many autistic children are on that kind of diet (GFCF). You might want to check those out.
We have multiple allergies, in my family, and of course being Jewish, I have to sift through and then disregard a lot of GF recipes that are so un-Kosher, like cheese on chicken or seafood recipes. All in all, I cook mostly homemade meals that are simple, usually from products that are Kosher, but not always.
It's a bit daunting to scope EVERY label for not only Kosher, but is it gluten free or is there possibility of cross contamination because it was processed in a facility that has gluten. I just do the best I can. What helps me is cooking some basics like animal protein (chicken, meat) with a side of rice or buckwheat. Add in vegetables and fruits as a main part of the meal, not a small side dish. Think how your meals would look if they were not the standard American faire. Think Asian--although you might not care for rice dishes without soy sauce or sesame oil. Think African--use teff and sorghum recipes. Think Mexican--black bean chili recipe served with rice crakers or corn chips, and a side of vegetables.Think vegetarian (raw vegatarian, too). I start most days with a nut smoothy of nuts that were soaked overnight. I use a high powered blender called a Vita-Mix. I add banana or dates for a sweetener and any extra nutritional supplements I choose.
Think of countries where wheat and potatoes are not the staples. Read those recipes for menu ideas. Make a homemade bread of sorghum and brown rice flour and tapioca starch instead of potato and corn starch. Forget about challah. Forget about trying to substitute every little thing to make it look like the food your son used to eat. Truthfully, it won't even look the same or taste the same. The GF pizzas and bread might look the same, but nothing ever compares to the wonderful taste of wheat. Oh, the good ol' days... And I don't know how sensitive he is, but after joining the local celiac group and hearing other people talk, I am now making my husband use a separate knife and cutting board for his wheat bread. I try to use a different sponge and dish towel to avoid cross contamination. Some people even get separate toasters and towels. Oy vay. I don't eat at restaurants. I'm just not at that point, yet. The wait staff needs to be aware of using
separtate utensils, work spaces for chopping, clean towels for wiping their hands from other customers food, etc... I had never thought of those things before joining that group.
You are in survival mode right now. Find some support and recipes that you can handle to make a weeks worth of food. After a while, that will be easy and you will find yourself wanting to branch out into other grains, other meal ideas. You will be concerned with adding more whole grains and nutrition back into the somewhat empty GF diet. That's where I think you might want to start, to get a grip on this new lifestyle. You will want to talk to others and see if they make things special for just one person in the family, or if the entire pantry is full of newly discovered foods that everyone in the family eats.
For instance, tonight, my three year old ate just a bit of her dad's homemade guacamole with corn chips; although, often, I give her rice crackers instead.
Then, she refused to eat anything else. So, we offered her cantaloupe, and she ate it. We were glad that she got vitamins, minerals, fiber, and omegas from some raw, healthy food. Sometimes, her dinner is almonds, carrots, and a slice of GF bread, if she is in a picky mood. My in-laws are from Ukraine. My mother in-law makes foods that my daughter loves, like a rice dish called Plof and a beet salad. Each week I make a chicken soup and a cholent. Sometimes she eats it--sometimes she doesn't because she's a toddler, and that's what they do. I just try my best. You will try your best, and you will succeed. I am open to your questions if you have any (that I didn't cover, here. :-) lol . --Denise

Hi!
There is a place on the Internet to get frozen Gluten-Free food that is ready to
cook. It might help when you are getting started going Gluten-free. It is not
kosher, but it is worth checking out. Go to <http://www.gfmeals.com>. They
have main courses, baked goods and sides.
I have purchased a number of items from this company and been pleased. I love
their faux buttermilk brown rice bread, which comes in frozen, sliced and each
slice paper separated. It is perfect for one slice in the toaster at a time.
I also purchase their chicken tenders, American turkey meatloaf and meatballs.
These help me for quick meals that I can serve to my grandsons who are on a
gluten free diet.
HTH,
Bea

As with all things from Hashem, be thankful because it could always be worse. My kids and I cannot have eggs or gluten. My daughters are allergic to dairy, and showing a sensitivity towards even ghee, goat's milk, and oats, even though I seem to be fine on them. It's quite a limiting palate. When I feel sorry for myself, I have to think that I have celiac and a thyroid issue, but at least I don't have diabetes or cancer, thank G-d. So,....everything from Hashem is good. --Denise

I have a Zo and I program it for the short cycle and dark crust. It works fine now that I am using the Rapid Rise yeast. There is supposed to be yeast called SAF on the market that you can use in place of either Rapid Rise or Non-Rapid. It was mentioned on celiac.com. I do have to open up the machine and make sure that the dough has not all gone to one side because it has two mixing paddles. Also that the dough has enough moisture in it.
I would check Consumer Reports at your local library and see if they have any bread machine recommendations. Last year I read something about the Breadman not being that great a machine. It is made kind of cheap compared to the Zo.
I also was reading in a bread making book that the best way to make our kind of bread is in the stove. I haven't tried it that way yet. I do know so far that every loaf I have baked comes out very dense so I am starting to use the tapioca Expandex and increasing it every time I make a loaf to see if I can get a better loaf of bread.

vivian,
Thank you for your response. The only thing that I am worried about is that all the settings have 2 rises, and you are unable to program the machine to do less. I have done some research, and besides Zojurshi, the most expensive of about 4200.00, Breville BBM100, and Breadman TR875 seem to be the best on the market in a resonable price range.
I think you’ll probably need to experiment to find the best setting. I have a hand me down breadmaker, and found that the setting depended on the recipe to some extent but usually a regular setting worked fine.

I thought that used in larger quantities, the agave might be imparting a distinct flavor to my GF Hamantaschen. However, a tablespoon or two, added to a sauce in place of honey, added a similar flavor and texture that honey would have, in my opinion. --Denise

Wonder how using agave nectar would taste as the sweetner. My husband and I are not supposed to use white or brown sugar. Sandy

I make the quinoa in my rice cooker, and use whatever sauce I would normally use from dinner (gravy from the meat, or a simple Sweet and Sour sauce:
Make a roux from 2 TBSP oil and 2 TBSP flour (I have used rice flour and millet flour instead of wheat)
Add 1 cup chicken soup "stock" (I use a pareve powdered mix, 1 tsp to 1 cup water)
Bring to slow boil.
Add 2 TBSP brown sugar and 2 TBSP lemon juice
Salt & pepper to taste.
My mom used to make this just for rice; my kids demand it on any starch!

I think you’ll probably need to experiment to find the
best setting. I have a hand me down breadmaker, and found that the setting
depended on the recipe to some extent but usually a regular setting worked
fine.

At the bottom there's a recipe and photo of quinoa with black beans and cilantro. I, too, have, yet,to eat a quinoa recipe I like. So, I am appreciative of all those posting recipes for us to try. -Denise

I have a breaqd machine that is at least 15 years old, and does not have a Gluten free setting. Does anyone know what type of setting I should use, regular large light dark, fruit and nut or dough?

Dena - Thanks so much for sharing those! I'll have to try them some time. So far
my favorite from her book is the Banana Cake which I posted to my blog
(http://www.glutenfreebay.com) before Pesach. It was so good. I'll admit I was
skeptical because Pesadich baked goods are notoriously dry. But this cake was
anything but dry. Thanks for posting the recipe...

Shelley - You can order the new and revised version of it, which is printed as
"Pesach: Anything's Possible" and is more visually attractive and has more
recipes. You can order it here:

Since I was typing it up anyway, I figured I'd post it here, too. The recipe comes from Tamar Ansh's "A Taste of Tradition presents... Pesach: Anything's Possible."
4 eggs
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup oil
3 teaspoons vanilla
1 cup potato (or corn) starch
3 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 cup ground almonds
Chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 180 degree Celsius.
Mix eggs, sugars, and oil together until thick.
Add in vanilla, starch, baking powder, and almonds
Pour the batter into a lined baking pan (22cm x 33cm)
Sprinkle the top with chocolate chips and push them down
slightly into the batter.
Bake for 45-50 minutes.Let it cool off for a bit and then slice into squares.

Nope. Just use it straight out of the bag. Or rinse it to get the floaties out. Think of these as like oatmeal cookies except a lot better :-)

Also, you can dry fry the quinoa before using it. Wait until it's actually beginning to smell like burnt popcorn, then cook it like rice.
When I make Quinoa, I typically just add vegetables. So I add onions and spices as it's being cooked with water, and in another pan I fry up whatever other veg I want - chickpeas, carrots, zucchini/courgette, pepper, tomatoes, whatever. Maybe add an egg. Mix the cooked quinoa into the stirfry and enjoy.
You can also make awesome quinoa cookies using this recipe: http://www.recipezaar.com/Quinoa-Tahini-Cookies-159837. I've used a variety of flours, depending on which diet I was on at the time and/or which flour I had on hand, and they've always turned out great! The original recipe tastes like a halva cookie. The first time I made them, my 6 year old picky-eating neighbor was my "official taste tester". She showed her approval by asking, "Can I have another?" and then "Can you give my mother this recipe?"

Boil water. In a mug, add a teaspoon of MSG-free, gluten-free soup mix of your choice. (In Israel, Osem and other brands are available MSG and gluten free at the regular grocery stores.)
Add boiling water 3/4 way up.
Add about a teaspoon (more or less to taste) of GF soy sauce. Add a small handful of thin rice noodles (glass noodles). For fancy added touch, cut a bit of scallion on top. Let sit for about 4 minutes.
Enjoy.
This has been a great replacement for those MSG-loaded, chemical loaded, and often crouton-loaded soup packets my daughter loves! -- Dena Page, M.Ed., CBA Certified Behaviour Analyst 054 812 5973
