Currently, AJ’s favorite meal is meatloaf. Go figure. I actually found a recipe that I could modify to GFCF for him and it is fabulous. We all eat it with mashed potatoes, salad, and garlic bread (he skips the garlic bread).
The best part about this meal is that AJ loves to help make it and it is a HUGE motivator for him. Yesterday morning I told him that his regular teacher and his favorite assistant were going to be at a meeting and he was upset. I knew it would throw him way off so I threw out the meatloaf.

With school starting teachers, aides, and art teachers need to know the school supplies needed for children who are gluten and casein free.
We use only Gluten and Casein Free products in our home for art supplies and for AJ’s foods. It is hard to find school supplies that don’t contain gluten and casein though, as gluten is often used as a thickener.
For more information see the Gluten Free/Casein Free Diet and  Mainely Musings for a great list.

 
In our house, AJ celebrates Valentine’s Day the GFCF way…
with Namaste Muffin Mix, Sugar-Free, of course (they are gluten free, casein free, peanut free, soy free, corn free, and sugar free but they actually taste fantastic). The good thing is that he does not mind, as long as I dress them up a bit. I used  Heart Silicone Baking Cups the other day to make heart muffins, I have Triangle Silicone Baking Cups for everyday use, I have  Holiday Cupcake Molds for Christmas and snowflakes and snowmen for winter.
