[QUOTE="SearchingForRainbows, post: 514228, member: 3388"] easy child/difficult child 3 has Celiac's. A few of her favorite things are corn pasta and crispy chocolate chip cookies from Trader Joe's. Trader Joe's crispy chocolate chip cookies are the best ever! I can't think of the name of it, Schar's (?) makes a pizza crust that easy child/difficult child 3 really likes.
