    A Glorious Gluten-free Fourth of July!

    Reviewed and edited by a celiac disease expert.

    Celiac.com 06/17/2011 - Memorial Day is dust, and the Fourth of July is bearing down fast! That means the barbecue is likely ready for action, and thoughts of fireworks, sprinklers, swimming pools, and other summer splendor.

    Summer means hot days, cool drinks, and plenty of opportunities for hot dogs, hamburgers, sandwiches, and all the things that go with eating outside. Among other things, that means keeping plenty of Open Original Shared Link, and snacks on hand.

    Try these tips to help you and your loved ones have a happy, gluten-free Fourth of July:

    1. All eyes on the dogs - Hot dogs, that is! And sausages, too. Many hot dogs and sausages contain wheat or gluten. Be sure to read the label. If you're still not sure, bring your own gluten-free hot dogs or sausages.
    2. Beware of barbecue sauce! - Since most commercial barbecue sauces contain gluten, beware of anything that comes sauce you haven't screened. Be sure to stock up on your favorite Open Original Shared Link for all of your holiday grilling.
    3. Careful with condiments! - Many condiments may contain gluten. Be sure to read the label. If you're still not sure, bring your own gluten-free mustard, or other condiments.
    4. Deploy your own gluten-free goodies - If you're attending a holiday party or barbecue with friends, then be sure to bring your own gluten-free goodies. That way, you can make sure you share in the delicious snacks without risking a reaction.
    A special note for those folks with gluten sensitivity, celiac disease, or food allergies, who will be traveling in California and Florida this summer, might want to check out this story on the industry-leading role Disney is playing in providing safe food information and choices for their patrons.

    When I started eating gluten-free food I discovered a flour mix in a book called Living Healthy with Celiac Disease, Wendy Wark (AnAffect, 1998). In addition to the standard gluten-free flour mix of tapioca starch flour, potato starch flour and rice flour she added cornstarch and sweet rice flour. The addition of these two flours make a huge difference in the texture, flavor, and moisture content in gluten-free baking. I couldnt understand why more people werent using this superior flour mix so I made it my mission to distribute this recipe around. (If you cant tolerate corn, just substitute the cornstarch with equal parts of sweet rice flour and tapioca starch flour.)
    While Wendy gave me permission to use the flour mix and many of her recipes I failed to tell her I was naming...

    Celiac.com 01/11/2005 - Pizza crust is an essential item in the gluten-free kitchen, especially for families with celiac children. This class demonstrates how to make an excellent pizza crust with a variation on the recipe for focaccia bread. Alternative flours will be used and their health benefits detailed.
    This recipe is adapted from Bette Hagmans first book Open Original Shared Link. Healthy flours and the tricks I have learned over the years are part of this revised recipe. You may use brown rice flour if you cant find the amaranth, buckwheat, or teff flour, although the health benefits of these alternative flours make them well worth the search.
    This recipe makes two 13-inch pizzas, or four 10-inch pizzas.
    Ingredients:
    1½ cups brown rice flour ½...

    This recipe calls for my Nearly Normal All Purpose Flour™.  You can find the recipe for this flour in mycookbook, Open Original Shared Link or in various media links on my website, or you can also this truly all purpose flourready-made at my site. It produces amazing results in all your gluten-free baking.

    Sweet Potato Bundt Cake

    The leaves are nearly gone, but sweet potatoes and pumpkins are still calling to me from my kitchen!  I decided to experiment with sweet potato cake – something I haven’t tried yet (I love challenges!). This one is light, mild and oh so yummy! I offer two possible glazes, but it’s nice on its own too. Enjoy!

    Ingredients:
    2 ¼ cup Nearly Normal All Purpose Flour™
    1 tablespoon gluten-free baking powder
    ½ teaspoon guar gum (optional)

    Blondie Fruit Bars (Gluten-Free and Dairy-Free)
    I've been trying to will the coming of warm springtime weather by baking foods I'll want on my next picnic.  No matter that my kids and I eat them on a tablecloth spread out on the living room floor ... our hearts are in the great outdoors!  Whether you're picnicing indoors or out, these filling snack bars will be a treat everyone will enjoy.  Using a hodgepodge mix of dried fruits I have had on hand, I have made this recipe several times with differing ingredients.  Feel free to substitute with whatever dried fruits and or nuts you have on hand -- the base recipe remains the same -- although I recommend at least using figs in this recipe, as they are high in fiber and minerals like potassium, calcium and iron, and their crunchy sweetness is unmistakable throughout.
    Be sure to let...
