As challenging as it is to be an adult with Celiac Disease, it is (in my opinion) infinitely more difficult helping a child through a food-centric autoimmune disease, food allergy, or intolerance.

While my kids don’t have CD, my oldest lived with a dairy allergy for several years before growing out of it, and my youngest has severe food allergies to eggs and dairy.

Navigating birthday parties, classroom celebrations, and restaurants can feel scary for the parent / caregiver, not to mention the stress and frustration that children feel when they realize their diet is restrictive and different from that of their peers.

All that said, let home can be the place where your gluten free kiddo feels confident and excited to eat all their favorites! From pizza to corn dogs, pancakes and pasta, these 30 gluten free recipes are not only delicious and easy to cook, but kid-approved by my crew!
