Friday Freebies: Gingerbread Train
One of our most treasured (and tortured) holiday traditions in our family is to make Christmas cookies. My mother has been doing this with us since we were so young that I can’t remember when it started but she still insists on doing it every year, no matter how busy we are.
Last year was the first year that AJ was really able to participate in the activity, as the first year he was only two and was running around and playing with toys. Last year he had a blast. He mostly just coated his GFCF cookies with his GFCF frosting and ate but he LOVED it.
This year he is not only on the GFCF diet but also on a soy limited and corn free diet…He is also on a sugar free diet because of his yeast issues. So this year we have decided to only do a few cookies and then make this fabulous Gingerbread Train that I found in my Family Fun Magazine. What I did was order GFCF Gingerbread Mix from Miss Roben’s (allergy grocer) and will prepare it ahead of time. The mix is also Stage One on the Feingold Diet.
The frosting I will be preparing will be GCFC but will certainly NOT be sugar free…but he won’t be eating it, just playing with it and decorating. The candy we can add are certainly GFCF and if he inadvertently pops one in his mouth it won’t hurt the diet, just the sugar issues.
To counteract the sugar? No Phenol enzyme supplement, Grapefruitseed extract, and Biocidin.
