This blog was originally dated as March 20th, but I only recently figured out how to "add in blogs" >> blames gluten for lack of knowledge :D

Celiac.com Sponsor (A13):
Today, I did finally get to the Organic Market and found the product name I was looking for. I wish I did not have my son along with me, (he's just 4) as I could not look around as well I as I wanted too. The store did have quite a number of gluten free items to look at. I got an all purpose celiac flour mix, as well as the tapioca flour, gluten-free baking powder, gluten free Oats, sweet rice flour, guar gum and a gluten-free yellow cake mix. Later in the evening when I made my bread, jr saw the yellow cake mix, and hounded me all evening about making yellow cake. Its one of his favs. So I decided ok, I'll make it. Anyhow I could tell when it finally done and he had his cupcake, that the satisification was not quite there. It was not like his regular yellow cupcakes. I don't think he'll be asking for them again anytime soon. LOL. They were ok, as far as gluten free baking items. But, there was still that tad of grainy taste about them.

Now I just need to figure out if I can make something discent with it, all of these flour mixtures. I tried adding in tapiaco to the bread mix I all ready had, replace half of cup with the tapiaco and sifted them all together. But, the bread turned out the same as before. I have still not figured out how to make it as well (or even close) to the one I buy ( gluten-free bread loaf) So I guess I'm back to buying the loaves again, at 7$ each, till I can figure out how to make a more bareable loaf of bread.
