Preparing for the Holidays

The Grandmas have been Princess Becca's best advocates through our various food trials. Gizmo Grandma (they're all named for their pets in Becca's language) made an entire gluten-free, casein-free Thanksgiving meal based on recipes from Feeding Isaiah. We had moon pies, sweet potato casserole, the most amazing turkey, cranberry chutney, mashed potatoes, and gravy.

Now the Kitty Grandma is prepping Christmas treats with wonderful results. We're putting up some pictures to tempt your tastebuds. First is a picture of our first attempt at a GFCF pumpkin roll. The filling is made from Mimicream whipped up and mixed with some dairy-free store bought vanilla frosting. It had to be frozen right away, and sliced before thawing, but we are very proud of it overall. After that is our home version of iced animal crackers (these are not caseine-free). PB put all the sprinkles on herself. Making goodies was such an integral part of my childhood Christmases that I am getting all sentimental as we form our own holiday traditions.

We hope you are having your own good times as we get ready for all the parties and gatherings of the season. Merry Christmas to our great family of readers!

PB and Mommy
