Thank you to Linda @ Gluten Free Homemaker for putting together such a great event! Linda has pooled together 10 experts who each have chosen an area to focus on for daily, brief tips relating to starting or maintaining a gluten free lifestyle. You will need to visit each individual blog to see their daily tips and advise. I am happy to be participating and will be sharing tips on lunchboxes and snacks!
Today’s Theme: Muffins & Waffles
Muffins are one the easiest ways to get a lot of quality nutrition into your kids with the least amount of pain. In our house, I can often get a serving of vegetables in those muffins too, an added bonus. They are relatively simple to throw together, and so easy to throw extras into the freezer for a lunchbox or snack. Remember my tip on stocking up on item to throw in your lunchbox? Muffins are a perfect item for this! The key here is to get as many healthy foods as possible into the muffin without sacrificing taste or using cups of sugar. Here are some great recipes to get you started:
Waffles are breakfast, sure! But did you ever think a waffle could be used in place of bread to make a sandwich?! Kids absolutely love novelty, and a waffle can make a very fun sandwich! With a savory/plain waffle (no sweetener), you could do a ham and cheese, or any favorite savory filling. With a sweeter waffle, think nutbutter and low-sugar jelly! here are a couple of waffle recipes for you to try:

When her third child was born with severe food allergies, Tessa took to the kitchen to figure out how to feed her family well. Always up for a culinary challenge, their journey has taken many twists and turns! Lots of Paleo, and lots of top 8 free. Good food for families, that's what she's about!
Yummy!
Those waffles look delicious, I need to start using my waffle maker more often.
Thanks for all the great recipes
Great tip, Tessa! I’m especially fond of muffins. My waffle maker is Belgian style so they are too big for sandwiches, but I have heard of people using them for that.
Wow these look incredible. I have been scouring the internet for recipes for gluten free muffins and I have only been able to find ones that require so many different types of flour it is daunting. Guess I was looking in the wrong place
Thanks for all the gluten-free recipes. I follow you on FB, too.
Great idea using waffles to make a sandwich. We make gluten free waffles almost every weekend with strawberries as a topping. So yummy!
This looks so great! I just posted a new muffin recipe today-grain and sugar free! http://www.spoonfulofsugarfree.com/2012/05/10/grain-free-lemon-poppyseed-muffins-giveaway/
Great ideas! Can’t wait to test some out!
Yum! Can’t wait to try some of these ideas out!
I used to make sandwiches on waffles for my son when he was young. Haven’t done it in so long. Maybe I will dig out the waffle iron!
YUMMY! THANKS.
I just started discovering the many uses for waffles a little over a year ago. I love waffle pizza and tacos.
I really need to get a new waffle maker, I haven’ t replaced the old glutened one and these ideas are too good not to get a new one!
I love muffins in my lunches, and for snacks.
Thanks for the recipes. Never thought of a waffle as a sandwich before.
Sounds delicious
Thanks. My daughter loves chocolate chip waffles. She has peanut butter waffle “sandwiches” all the time! thecroleys(at)yahoo(dot)com
I don’t think beyond breakfast with waffles and muffins. Thanks for the ideas!
More wonderful ideas! I need to think outside the box more…
Thanks for sharing these recipes!! Will definitely have to try them out.
i want to try the Pumpkin Chocolate Muffins
Yes I’ve used waffles to make PB and J all the time. Sometimes GF waffles taste better than GF bread.
