I am impressed! I have been to so many gluten-free bakeries in several states and your goodies are much better. Most just offer cookies and overly iced cupcakes. Have always purchased but have never gone back for seconds. I used to be a pretty good baker. Presentation was not my forte, but the taste......still baking but I am like those lower level gluten-free bakeries. Just cookies and cupcakes. I have not even attempted working with yeast again.

Do not give up your dream yet. There has to be a way! Have relatives in CA?

Yummy! Your baked goods look so delicious.

I was going to suggest exactly what you said. Maybe you could get a job at a gluten free bakery in your area for a while and see what it is all about before taking the plunge on your own.

Be careful about sharing your recipes with them though. I'm sure you worked hard to perfect them. 

Maybe a bakery would offer to buy the recipes from you??? Or maybe you could create a gluten free baked goods cookbook and sell it.

Amazon.com lets people publish their books for digital Kindle download. Go to Open Original Shared Link for more info.

Your knits are adorable. Have you tried listing them on Etsy? I have bought probably 40 knit sweaters for my pups on that site.

Good luck!

Oops! I see they removed the name of the online retailer I mentioned. I didn't know I couldn't mention their name here.

Hopefully you will know which one I meant. The online retailer that makes and sells the Kindle.

Best of luck to you!

I was on etsy.com provably 3 years ago. I posted 4 sweaters, but nobody bought them, so I let it go. Currently I have 14 sweaters and baby dresses for sale. I'm planning to advertise them again on etsy under Simona's boutique (I don't know, if I can write my name here, if not, so remove it).

 

I wish from all my hearth that I could open a big gluten-free, cf, and nut free bakery and supply all you guys. Maybe using overnight delivery like Omaha, or Shari's (chocolate covered strawberries). I know that I would be successful. I have a "know how", but I need money and place. :angry: :angry: :rolleyes::)

Maybe one day....

We usually say it like Amazon. And that works. It's the ".com" part that makes it a link.

simona, every recipe i have ever tried of yours has been off the charts delicious!!  :)  and those sweaters are beautiful.  maybe try the farmer's market where you could sell both at once?  i wonder what the health code/criteria is for selling food at farmer's market.  i know we are allowed to sell canned stuff down here and the stall fee is pretty cheap.  something to try, anyway, and once you are out there, you can network and meet people who may be able to help you start something.  i have faith in your talent :)  good luck, whatever you decide.

      Gluten Sensitivity

      By trents · Posted

      @rjane, yes, it often feels overwhelming in the beginning. But let me encourage you by saying that it will get easier. You and your husband will develop, over time, a sixth sense of how gluten is typically hidden in the food supply and where it is found and you will develop an inventory of foods that you can trust and to stock your pantry with. The largest risk involves eating out at restaurants. Even if you order things that are naturally gluten free, you have no control over cross contamination happening back in the kitchen in how things are prepared and handled. Another trap is eating at other people's homes who are trying to accommodate your husband's need to eat gluten free but who lack knowledge about how gluten may be hidden in the food supply. I mean, who would expect to find wheat in soy sauce or Campbell's tomato soup? I know you aren't going to want to hear this, but you may want to consider making your kitchen entirely gluten free to eliminate the possibility of accidents and cross contamination. It would also simplify your meal preparation. Yes, I'm talking about both of you eating gluten free in the home. Many couples find this is the easiest and most practical approach to being consistent and keeping their celiac loved one safe. You might find this helpful:

      I am not sure if they have tested him for SIBO  should I ask the hospital if they have tested him for that, there is so much to learn in the beginning I am not sure what or who to ask I am thinking the good folks on this site will help me, thanking you for your help

      Has your hubbie been checked for SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth)? This is not uncommon in the celiac population. https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/21820-small-intestinal-bacterial-overgrowth-sibo

      Update: I got a call on Monday from the GI doctor's office, they had a cancellation and an appointment opened up for Tuesday. Not much time to prepare, but I went ahead and did it anyway. I haven't been gluten free at any point, but I haven't really loaded up as much as was recommended, either. It takes another 6-8 weeks to get the results, so I'd rather get it done now. I just hope it will be enough and I won't have to try again and delay it even longer. Thanks for the recommendations and thoughtful responses, much appreciated. I will be following up with my GP soon to check for nutritional deficiencies while I'm waiting on the test results.
