Gluten Free Alamo


For your consideration today is a gluten free Alamo replica for Anna's fourth grade history class.  Everything we used is gluten and casein free - Kinnikinnick's Smorables, Snyder's Gluten Free Pretzels, Yummy Earth Lollipops, Skittles, Whole Foods Gourmet Gumdrops and Mock Buttercream Frosting.  Granted, there is soy lethicin in the Smorables and the pretzels, but for a gluten free Alamo, I think we did pretty okay!  We modeled Anna's Alamo as it looked after the battle, using the picture found on The Alamo Society's website as our guide. I was in charge of the infrastructure and Anna was in charge of decorating (hence the Skittles).  This project was as fun as Anna's Hot Dog Airplane in second grade!

This is great! A GF Alamo must be a first. Love Anna's Skittles addition! What a fun project.

It was fun! Both girls enjoyed it, because of course Megan had to help. As I built the infrastructure, I talked about making supports and "cement" and stuff, and they were into it...turned out to be fun family time. Oh, and eating the leftover bits was fun too. :)
