[quote=Anonymous]NP.  My celiac is 8, diagnosed at 5.

Making the transition to GF was rough.  Keeping a 2 year old out of food in a group setting is tough. Having a newborn is both.  If you can find it in you to try I'm sure your BIL & SIL will really appreciate it.  Its easier for us with an older kid and time that has made it all easier on all of us. But I still really appreciate the efforts my family makes to accommodate my kid.

That said - what do your kids normally eat? My kids are pretty typical, somewhat picky eaters so I can probably help find GF foods for you.

Off the top of my head here is a short list of foods I might buy if I were planning to buy GF from Targe. Lots more suggestions if you provide guidance on your regular meals

Breakfast:
-GF cereal: Cheerios (any of the GF varieties which include regular & honey nut), corn varieties of Chex, Gorilla Munch, Panda Puffs, etc
-egg tacos on corn tortillas
-yogurt
-fruit
-GF freezer waffles

Lunch / dinner
-cheese quesadillas on corn tortillas
-GF pasta however you like it. I vote Barilla brand. Trick is to cook it to los end Of time Rangel on a *gentle* boíl, stirring frequently
-rice
-potatoes
-corn
-chicken nuggets.  From a box of homemade. Dip in cornmeal or GF breadcrumbs
-meats and veggies however you normally make them

Snacks
-Tostitos, popcorn, potato chips, Pirates booty, etc.
-GF pretzels (Expensive but taste almost identical.)
-Annie's GF granola bars. Taste the same, you just pay a markup that the box has 5 instead of 6
