I bought a couple of racks of pork ribs and then found out my kids can't eat tomatoes, vinegar, anything with preservatives, etc (Feingold diet). They are also gluten free, egg free and casien free. Do you have any ideas how I can fix ribs that aren't taste free?
Need help with making ribs

Hmm... there are lots of good rubs out there. My other half has a small smoker that he uses, which would be a great way to add flavor without adding actual additive.
You might want to check your library or amazon/ebay for some books on smoking. The "bible" of smoking that the other half's boss gave him is called Smoke & Spice, and would be worth digging into. The book is more than 1" thick, and has TONS of recipes!
Best of luck, let us know what you decide and how they came out!

But all that at once! Is there any food left on the list when you eliminate what they cant have! I remember how hard it was to find ANYTHING in the store my daughter could have I can't imagine the "no go" list you have. Oh well, thats what real cookbooks are for.BirdBrain said:It's not so bad once the shock wears off.

Well, we made the move a couple of years ago to unprocessed food so there is a ton of cooking going on. Breakfasts are either oatmeal or grits with either sausage or bacon and on the weekends they have cornbread pancakes. We end up making a bunch of substitutions. Lunch and dinner have a meat of some sort, vegetables and a starch.
I made a loaf of bread the other day that actually tasted good. They get chocolate cake every 2 weeks or so. We do a 235 mile round trip commute 3 days a week to get a non medicinal therapy to help cure their ADHD and Dyslexia. It is working beautifully but being on the road means that we also have to eat on the road. The kids can't have tree nuts or peanuts either, but we discovered SunButter made from sunflower seeds and it tastes great on rice cakes. Sometimes we take left overs. But we always have a cooler in the car with things to eat and drink. The learning curve was a steep one.
