![]() ![]() Recognizing an opportunity, I decided to leverage my son’s love of Macaroni & Cheese to slip some beans and vegetables into his diet. My son offered to help me make it for lunch that same day. It was creamy, delicious, and oh, so easy! ![]() ![]() There really aren’t that many gluten-free convenience foods available and every once in a while this mom needs a break! Since my daughter and I also love mac and cheese, I brought home several boxes for us to try. He asked if we could try it and I was more than happy to let him. Like most 7 year olds, he loves Macaroni and Cheese! It’s no surprise that he was the first to spot the Horizon Gluten-Free Macaroni & White Cheddar Cheese when our grocery started carrying it. As soon as he could read, I had him start reading labels so he could play an active role in maintaining his gluten-free diet. I can’t always be with him, so he has to know what it is safe to eat when he is at a friends house. Many adults still don’t know that wheat, rye, and barley contain gluten or that rice, tapioca, and lentil flour do not. He had to learn early not only that he couldn’t eat gluten, but which ingredients contain gluten. When your child has Celiac Disease, it is especially important for you to talk not just about food groups, but discuss the ingredients in foods. I started talking to my son about food at a young age.
