[quote=Anonymous]Soy sauce - we tried GF Tamari and kids don't like it, but they both liked the takeout Chinese WY packets.  I know the Kari-Out packets are GF too as is a brand called Little Soya. Don't have clear advice on this one because as I said we just figured out this week that they'll eat it at all.

Chicken tender coating we've done a wide variety - I tend to just google baked chicken tenders and then follow instructions (I'm not much of a cook). I think the one everyone likes best is breadcrumbs with Parmesan (gf breadcrumbs have gotten easy to find) but my kids also just love Parmesan (they eat pasta with olive oil and parm, don't like the noodles either buttered or with sauce.)

Hamburgers both of my kids eat without buns.  For the turkey sandwich would he consider eating turkey roll-ups so the sandwich without the bread? And if he eats fried potatoes have you tried roasting potatoes? We got a GF kids cookbook that had a recipe for 'Cowboys in the saddle' (grilled steak slices draped across roasted potato spears) and don't know if it was because they found it, the picture is fun, or because potatoes spears roasted in olive oil and salt are delicious, but my kids both love that meal.

And honestly if you're good for other meals but just struggling with dinner, perhaps just do a couple 'breakfast for dinner' meals? I don't like cooking and my kids are somewhat picky / food can't touch kids (they use different utensils for the different items.  Thank god for the dishwasher.). So we do lots of deconstructed simple meals.  And I'm certainly not above feeding them yogurt, fruit and cereal for dinner and calling it good.

Another thought - GF pretzels dipped in peanut butter.  We're partial to the sticks for easier dipping.  Snyders is our favorite brand.

And crackers - don't know if it will go over with your kid but we've had decent success with rice crackers.  And Nut-Thins are delicious, though can't swear my kids actually like them, but DH and I sure do.
