I'm not on a GFCF (Gluten Free Casein Free) diet but I know many families out there in the autism community are. So I poked around the Borders Gluten Free section. I found recipes in the
Enjoy Life cookbooks that are so delicious I wanted to go make some myself! (honestly, the company has no clue I exist but I feel like sharing their books with everyone!) One nice thing about the recipes in all of their books are about a page long including pictures, no huge complicated ones.
Here's a glimpse at some of their books and recipes in them:

That sounds really good! Thanks for sharing that information - my kids and I have just recently begun a GFCF diet (started 2/18) and have been pretty successful in finding good alternatives to what we used to eat. :)
I'm not Autistic, but I work with a lot of kids who are. However, I'm on a gluten free diet because I have Celiac disease, and this is hugely helpful!
@Morningstarrising@xanga - It takes some time to get used to. You've been doing it about as long as I have. I'm only beginning to learn that it helps people who have Autism as well, and I find this fascinating. My dad just told me about this bakery that is all gluten free near where I live. (near being two hours away. Heh.) I'm so excited to go there, it is supposedly amazing. (But also really expensive. Unfortunately, living gluten free is just going to be that way.)
