Cinnamon toast and a cup of hot cocoa -- that's a favorite late night snack.

I just make toast (toasted is the only way I can handle EnerG breads and rolls -- why do they taste so tolerable toasted, but I have a hard time eating them untoasted?) . . . anyway, spread the toast with margarine, and sprinkle on my own mix of cinnamon sugar (I use 1/4 c. sugar and 2 t. cinnamon, and put it in a shaker).

For the hot cocoa, I use either soy or almond milk, and heat it on the stove with a few squares of Lindt dark chocolate bar (70%, which has no dairy). Whisk it while it heats/melts. And Kraft makes some mini-marshmallows that are GF, so I throw a handful of those on the top of the mug full of cocoa, and it's perfect. I'd almost forget I have celiac!

I promise to be more creative tomorrow.

Professor Lexi, have you tried kinnikinnick breads? They are much, much better than the one you mentioned. Charlie (gf hubby) thinks its like having real bread and he's been without bread for 24 years!

Yesterday for a snack I had a sliced granny smith apple with almond butter. Yum!

I enjoy fruits, Orville Redenbacher caramel corn cakes (or peanut caramel), and home-mixed trail mix of nuts, seeds, Corn Nuts, dinner mints, and crushed crackers. Any combination of things will work as long as you enjoy the ingredients. Fruit smoothies made with fruit and vanilla soymilk are good. Also made some peanut butter cookies the other day and they were great! Carrots, celery, and other "finger" vegetables with dip would be good too but I haven't tried that yet.

Praying for good snacking for each of us. Blessings!

We eat nuts, seeds, dried fruit, rice or corn cakes, trail mix, cheese, gf crackers, tortilla chips, charras for snacks. Fresh veggies out of the garden in summer - baby carrots and green pepper slices in winter. Also grapes and apples.

Its not easy to find, at least that's been my experience. We have a small health food store that carries the bread, but I've only been able to buy the white sandwich bread once. The dark bread is very good so that's been a help as they seem to have more of it. I'm going to order the donuts and white sandwich from the catalog and put it in my extra freezer.

I like potato chips. When I 1st went GF (and wasn't sure of what to eat), my PC consumption went thru the roof! LOL

I also like Lundberg Rice Chips - Santa Fe BBQ are my favorites.

Corn chips too.

Before I went casein reduced - regular klondike bars a good too. I have a friend that has silent cd - when he 1st went GF he was going thru klondike bars like mad! Very Happy

EnviroKids Crispy Rice bars are good to have around too. These are like Rice Krispy bars. They have different flavors.

Hi Lexi,

Celiac disease is currently classified into four subphenotypes:

Classical celiac disease - manifests with classical GI symptoms of diarrhea and weight loss from malabsorption. Both serological and biopsy results confirm the diagnosis, and symptoms improve on a gluten free diet.

Celiac disease with atypical symptoms - features a predominance of extraintestinal manifestations with few or no GI symptoms. As with classical celiac disease, diagnosis is made with positive serology and biopsy samples and amelioration from a gluten free diet.

Silent celiac disease - is categorized by individuals being completely asymptomatic, but testing positive with serology and biopsy. Detection is usually from screening of high risk groups, or when biopsies and endoscopies are performed for other reasons.

Latent celiac disease - is associated with positive serological tests, but negative biopsy results. While asymptomatic at the time of diagnosis, in the future symptoms usually develop and/or histological changes are evident upon repeat biopsy.

My favourite snack for this time of year ..

GF Pumpkin Pie.

We sell it at my work .. and wow .. it's amazing.

I'll have to get the brand and update about it.

I love it -- even if I only eat small amounts.

Take care.

Hi Lexi,

Since the admins have not turned on the avatar feature...we resort to doing it this way.

The graphic must live in the internet somewhere. Be it on your webspace you ISP provides or yahoo or msn or whereever.

Once the graphic is on the net you can use the [img] and [/img] commands to show it.

You would insert the location of the graphic between the command: [img]www.yourfilelocation.com/picture.jpg[/img]

Poof!! instant graphics!!
