Recipe: Gluten Free/Dairy Free Spinach and Tomato Pizza

I realize that the title "gluten free/dairy free pizza" sounds like an oxymoron. lol

But this is what our diet allows, so we are trying to make the best of it.

My son is a pizza junkie so I had to figure out a way for him to still eat it every now and then but without the dairy now too.

I decided to just use Bob's Red Mill bag mix for the gluten free crust. I followed the package directions and then added spinach, tomato, and daiya for the cheese substitute.

It was actually pretty good. No, it didn't taste just like regular pizza so I'm not even going to pretend that it did.

Diaya is more gooey then dairy cheese (almost like a nacho cheese) when heated so it was for sure a "stick to your teeth" kind of meal. Both kids and myself did eat the heck out of it though. It was really great warm out of the oven. Not so great as leftovers heated up the next day.

Are you on a GF/DF diet? What's your go to pizza alternative?

My sons new favorite dessert

Last week I read on Momnivore's dilemma about a great ice cream alternative. I found out about her blog because both our sons have the same developmental therapist. I am so glad to have found her here on blogspot. I can not tell you how many recipes I steal from her! lol I am currently in the same boat as her and am always looking for more gluten free ideas for my little man! This one is so simple, but it is darn good so I figured I had to share it with people! ;)

What you'll need:
Bananas
Enjoy life Chocolate Chips
wax paper
cookie sheet
freezer

Directions:
1.) slice up your bananas and place them on the wax paper lined cookie sheet
2.) Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave
3.) Dip the slices in the melted chocolate or spoon it on the top (I went with the messy free route while my little man ate chips out of a measuring cup!)
4.) place in freezer

That's it!



I'm a huge fan of frozen bananas so this is something we all like! If you or your kids are on a gluten free, dairy free, soy free diet I strongly urge you to check out her blog! We also use her hulk shake recipe and alternate fruit and veggies for breakfast a few days a week!
