Review of Incredible Edible Gluten-Free Food for Kids: 150 Family-Tested Recipes (Paperback)

When I found out my 3 year old twins were gluten intolerant, I had no idea what to do or where to start.This book offered a wealth of information not only about recipes, but information on the disease as well as excellent resources.Sheri's recipes offered me time saving, excellent recipes to offer my kids.It was nice to have recipes that were already family tested.I was busy enough chasing my twins and entertaining my 6 year old daughter at the time.Not only did my 6 year old prefer the gluten free breads listed in this book over regular store bought bread, but I have had company (not gluten intolerant) tell me the bread was excellent and asked for more!Just last week my sister was here from out of town and I had to ask her to save it for my boys!I specifically like the rice tapioca bread, breakfast muffins, and the chicken with dijon sauce.Another thing I am thankful for is the recipe for gluten free play dough.My kids were able to go to preschool and play with play dough! I didn't have to worry about them getting ill from the other play dough the school provided.Most importantly, they didn't feel left out by not being allowed to play with the schools play dough. I would highly recommend this book to any family, even adult gluten intolerant individuals who want to save time, money, and heartache.
