SS&GF: Simply Sugar and Gluten Free

My favorite meal was mac and cheese. Oh, the irony, since I can no longer eat gluten or cheese.

[Reply]

I checked out the book on Amazon and you were right, the pictures are beautiful and obviously heartfelt

[Reply]

I loved eating lasagna when I was a kid.

[Reply]

My favorite meal was cheese enchiladas – I’m a Texas girl, so cheesy tex mex always put a smile on my face . Though it is a gluten free meal, I’m now dairy free and mostly grain free, so I only eat corn occassionally. I haven’t has a cheese enchilada in at least 5 years, but I’ve developed a much more refined palate and I’m currently deeply in love with all things curry .

[Reply]

My favorite meal was Macaroni and Cheese, because I hardly got it. I also loved PB&J with warm bread and freshly cooked biscuits and cinnamon rolls! Sorry I couldn’t pick just one.

Choosing a favorite childhood meal is like asking a Mom to choose her favorite child! I grew up in a family where food was an expression of love – one of my favorite meals was weekend breakfast – with eggs, pancakes, homemade biscuits and gravy…breakfast foods are still my favorite.

I love that all the recipes are already GF and DF. I’m not a chef by any stretch of the imagination, but have been enjoying lots of adapting recipes. Would be nice to already have some “done”for me.

French Fries with Chicken Strips!! No longer…potatoes are too high in carbs for my limited insulin production This book looks great for my three gf kids!

[Reply]

My favorite meal as a kid was my mom’s chicken enchilada casserole–which I just realized I can probably still make, with a few modifications!

[Reply]

I like the personal nature of the book. That it’s not just another collection of recipes (not that there’s anything wrong with that), but that there’s a story behind it. She didn’t do this just to cash in on what some see as the latest diet trend–she did it out of love for her son.

[Reply]

Already a facebook fan!

[Reply]

I’d love to get some recipes to make for my nephews that were a little more kid friendly than my typical fare!

[Reply]

My favorite meal was home grown tomatoes ripe from the vine on white bread with mayo. Could eat these for weeks in the fall, otherwise the only time we had tomatoes was chopped in a salad.

Thanks for offering this giveaway to us Canadians too. We are so oftn excluded from draws. Great book, I borrowed it from the library and now it is on my Xmas list!!! both to give and to recieve

I loved spaghetti and build your own burritos

My fave food as a child was definitely peanut butter and banana sandwiches. Occasionally my Dad and I would even have peanut butter and brown sugar(gasp) sandwiches. Food is such an important part of our memories.

[Reply]

Amy! This is so generous of you! I shared it on Facebook, (@SuzStar). I tweeted it, (@SSMPhoto). I subscribed to you through Email… I am already a follower of you on facebook and your blog and twitter.

My favorite food growing up was macaroni and cheese… Since going gluten free and dairy free, (because both my son and I have the same issues) it has been a challenge.

I checked out Sylvane’s book on Amazon, and I want it so bad! Everything looks amazing! I especially want her flat bread recipe. I only saw a picture of it, but it looks divine! Mine never look like that! ha ha. I think this book would help me a lot in the kitchen to make kid friendly foods. Thank you for this giveaway! I am crossing everything in the hopes that I win!

I like the looks of the pancakes in her cookbook! I read an article that featured her and her recipes sometime ago and was intrigued with her recipes then. Hope I win!

This bread looks delicious! Nothing says “home” better than banana nut bread! I just realized I was not following you on Twitter, but now I am! As for my favorite meal as a kid, grilled cheese and my mom’s homemade tomato soup! YUM!!!! This cookbook sounds wonderful and thanks for the tip about palm sugar!

[Reply]

My favourite meal as a kid was peanut butter and jam sandwiches. I loved the sweet stuff right from the get go, if I only knew then what I know now. What I love about “Cooking for Isaiah,” is that the meals are kid friendly so they are appealing to the eye and taste buds. I have a child like pallate so this appeals to me. Sad but true, maybe when I fully remove sugar from my life my tastes will grow up.
I follow SS&GF on Twitter, Facebook and here. Would love to win that book.

Grilled cheese and tomato soup. Oh, yum. And my Mom was always savvy enough to turn the burned side down.

[Reply]

My favorite meal as a kid was macaroni and cheese – could be the cheapest brand available or the most extravagant made from scratch – loved ‘em all! Now need to be dairy free. Still searching for that perfect dairy free recipe.

I checked out the book on Amazon and read part of the intro. I can relate with parts of her journey, as I went gluten-free a year ago and my family has followed suit in recent months.

[Reply]

I checked out the book at amazon and the grilled peach BBQ wings look awesome! wings are a favorite food group.

[Reply]

My favorite meal as a kid involved anything with mashed potatoes!

This may sound crazy, but what I like most about her book is the cover. I just love the photo of the two of them!

I checked out the cookbook on amazon.com and I like the fact that it sounds like some recipes that my kids will happily eat with me that are gfcf.

favourite meal as a kid, hoping that it might win me a copy of the new book by Silvana,

my favourite meal as a kid was probably my
mom’s lasagna, she made it every saturday night,
it is nothing fancy, but I guess cause mom makes it its the best. My kids still request Grandma to make her lasagna when they come home. I now give her gluten free noodles to make it with , and it still tastes just as delicious.
Got my fingers crossed for that new book!!

[Reply]

Thanks for hosting this contest! My favorite meal as a child was crispy fried chicken, (the drumstick please), even better if we ‘splurged’ and bought the frozen kind, instant mashed potatoes, and frozen corn. I know. I don’t come from healthy. I used to prefer those dried packages of spaghetti sauce mix to the real thing… oy.

[Reply]

Sounds like a great book! My favorite meal as a kid was what my mom called salmon patties and “potato boats.” Nowadays, known as twice-baked potatoes. My mouth still waters at the memory!

Fave meal: Bumpy Pan Stuff. It was a sweet, pecan, dish that we ate for breakfast. You let the rolls rise all night and then bake it in the morning. I have not had it since going gluten free 8 years ago!

[Reply]

The book looks absolutely beautiful. I love that it was written out of a mother’s love for her son.

I did not grow up in a real food home. My favorite “food” was probably cookie dough. I stopped eating it when I was pregnant 2 1/2 years ago and thought it would be the first thing I would want to eat after delivering my son. Oddly enough, I still haven’t had any almost 2 years after his delivery. I’ve since learned to appreciate REAL food so much that I don’t crave the other stuff any more.

[Reply]

My favorite meal as the only child of a single night shift ER nurse was wonderbread with margarine and sugar with cinnamon on top and as much milk as I could drink standing in front of the fridge with the gallon in my hands. As it turns I was and still am allergic to everything in that “meal” except the cinnamon! It is a “wonder” I survived that childhood with many excruciating stomach aches and terrible upper respiratory problems leading to tubes in my ears 3 times before I was 5. Had any one guessed I was allergic to everything I was eating I would have been spared many painful nights rolling around on the floor with a migraine stomach and multiple surgeries!

I am so happy to have found your blog I have been praying for something with both GF and SF recipes. Thank you! Yay for me!( I am mostly grain free and yeast intolerant too, hint hint).

@Victoria Love, Thanks for the feedback, Victoria. I have a big ol’ bag of coconut flour waiting for me to finish my book. BTW – have you ever tried bean flours? I use Bob’s Garbanzo-Fava blend and it’s really neutral once baked. Totally grain free.

I loved Totino’s pizza and also Kraft Mac ‘n’ Cheese (neither of which I eat any more). We thought it was a real treat to have these processed foods since Mom usually made most things from scratch. Ha! Ironic, given that I know have to make most everything from scratch. Minute brown rice is “fast food” here!

My favorite meal was tuna noodle casserole that my mother made. Years later when I told her it was my most memorable meal she admitted that she made it so much because it was easy and she didn’t really like to cook. I was shocked! and slightly disappointed.

I love that they did a milk stand in taste test. I did something similar this summer and settled on almond milk. I tried every single brand of soy milk I could find and HATED ever last one of them. So gross. Though I am not truly dairy free, I have switched out milks to lower my dairy intake.

My favorite dish as a kid was barbecued salmon (my dad is a big hunter/fisherman)

Hi! Of course I wanted to give a review of the book to have my name entered in the drawing, then I actually read through the book on Amazon. Wow, how anyone can get through the first couple of pages without crying and having chills is beyond me. I love, love, love the amount of love pouring from a mother to her son. I also have two sons who we are currently eliminating gluten and dairy and the struggles to make sure they still have their favorite foods are constant. I feel her sadness at wanting to continue the days of free cooking. When it is all new it can be a constant struggle to feed them meals that are satisfying without getting to the end of a meal and hearing “I’m still hungry.”
Kudo’s to you Amy for sharing this book with your readers!!!

I can’t wait to read this book! This should be great for my little girls!

This cookbook is divine – my favorite part (other than the recipes of course) are the warm and loving family pictures and quotes. This is what i would call a coffee-table cook book!

[Reply]

What I like about her book:

I like that it seems like she has a real heart and love for her family and their happiness. Her tone comes across as very sweet!

[Reply]

From the Amazon preview – I’m excited to see more about the gf savory waffle ideas/recipes to use as sandwich buns!

[Reply]

My favorite meal as a kid was my grandmother’s spaghetti and meatballs. The closest that I’ve come to that lately has been quinoa pasta, homemade sauce that takes all day with homemade stock and meatless meatballs. Not sure my grandma would recognize it but it makes chilly weather a lot cozier.

i checked out the book and i might actually buy it when i get a little extra cash for it. was impressed by the high reviews and the mention of waffles and chicken with maple bacon syrup has got me pretty curious. i like that the recipes claim simplicity.

Checked the book (and the look inside) out at Amazon – What do I love best? Well, I’m pretty darn excited to see doughnuts! But after a flop of a mix cornbread last night I think I’m currently most excited about that recipe!

[Reply]

And just sent you a friend request on facebook

I cannot believe I am saying this publicly but my favorite meal as a kid was toast with peanut butter and onions! I created it myself. My favorite meal that Mom prepared was fresh green beans with homemade cornbread. Fun memories!
