My GFCF kid + Udi's Gluten Free Foods = Happy Kid

Alex got a special gift the day before Christmas. A sampler box arrived from Udi's Gluten Free Foods for him to try out. It was perfect timing as we had long since finished our loaf of gluten free sandwich bread and they are not yet available at the Jersey shore. YET. You can however order them online and they ship anywhere in the US. I have plans to do this soon soon soon.

So, in the box was a loaf of their awesome sandwich bread as well as a whole grain (but still gluten free) loaf. It is rare that my son gets "whole grain" anything because of being gluten free!

There were also 2 boxes of the giant muffins: blueberry and lemon streusel. I popped the lemon ones in my freezer but Alex cracked right into the blueberry ones and was so happy. When he saw the muffins he asked me "Did it come from the oven?" As if I had just made it. So cute! Well, those 4 muffins were gone at the 1-a-day rate. It wasn't until the last muffin that I was able to break off a piece when he wasn't looking to taste it for myself. And so, I could see for myself why he ate them. Pretty darn good and not super sweet either. I'm not a big fan of blueberry muffins because usually the entire top is coated in sugar and they are almost crunchy - pleased that these were not like that at all.

Fast forward to today...

So, being that we are on winter break - the kids have been out of school for 2 weeks (also thanks to snow days here last week which gave them 3 extra days). My daughter asked me for pizza for lunch. I usually send her into pre-k on Wednesdays with pizza for lunch as Alex can't really have pizza (too many GFCF infractions) without me jumping through a lot of hoops to make him his own. Well, since little sis wanted Pizza I decided that we could do make your own pizza and how convenient because I had a 2 pack of the Udi's gluten free pizza crusts in my freezer from the sampler box. We usually use the Kinnikinnick Pizza crusts that are now sold in my "normal" grocery store (Stop N Shop) freezer section for $10 a box - it is robbery but kids love pizza and my son is no exception. So, while my daughter had her regular pizza (laden with gluten and dairy).

Alex made up his own on an Udi's gf crust. His pizza just had sauce on it with some tomatoes and seasoning - no cheese.

I am used to him eating 2 of the single serve pizzas but I could easily get away with 1 of these since they are pretty big (maybe 9" round?) . I cut it into 8 pieces.

He made quick work of eating almost an entire pizza and was so happy.

Yay for Udi's! Thank you from Alex!
