It's important to know how to make tasty gluten-free food for kids, whether for your own gluten-free child or one who’s visiting you. (If you’re cooking gluten-free meals for a guest, be sure to review what’s necessary to prevent cross-contamination with gluten in your kitchen.)

Here’s a collection of kid-friendly gluten-free supper recipes to keep up your sleeve, from About.com’s Gluten-Free Cooking site. If you haven't noticed, these meals would make great gluten-free comfort food for grown-ups, too.
