Thanks Julie.

I actually went to Target 1 week or so ago. I bought a whole bunch of stuff but didn't see the pans. I'll check them out online.

I actually found a set of loaf pans in between the regular size and the minis at my grocery store. It was the good chef brand.

For the Analise Roberts fans out there, what brands of brown rice flour do you get? Where do you get it?

All I have seen around here is BRM.

Authentic Foods has the only brown rice flour I've tried & liked, but it costs a fortune. I ordered from their website; might be cheaper on Amazon. I have subbed white rice flour from the Asian market for brown though & it works but is not quite as flavorful. (Nor as healthy of course.) The brown rice flour at my local store is distinctly grainy & makes a much less palatable product if the recipe is simple. If there are lots of texture-ful things in there, it's not so noticeable.

I also sub in bob's red mill white rice flour. I don't have the $ to spend to special order flours like that. I love how things turn out with the white rice.

I use the Authentic Foods superfine brown rice flour that she reccommends, but I'm lucky enough to have a local mainstream store carry it. Sure, it's like $9 for a 3lb bag, but it's so worth it, and I'm cheap :rolleyes:

That's incredible that a mainstream store stocks it! Which one?

It's called HEB (A central Texas thing) and this particular location carries a lot of gluten-free stuff, and I think most of Authentic Foods' product line. I can think of two reasons 1: a proactive celiac or two, but I don't know which ones live up here 2: It's the closest grocery store to the culinary academy and so they carry more gourmet type stuff (though honestly, I see more of the students in Wal Mart :lol: )

I remember HEB from back in the day (used to live in Austin)... actually I remember that the owner was named Harry Butt & my brother & I found that endlessly amusing... unless that was just an elementary school myth?

I just made her lemon coconut muffins. I subbed orange peel for the lemon peel and they still turned out great! This cookbook has lots of great looking recipes and I can't wait to try them.

Buy the cookbook. It's well worth the price. Annalise Roberts answered my questions promptly also. To me, someone who takes the time to communicate with those who have bought the book or are contemplating it, is much to be appreciated.....ssssoooo buy the cookbook. ;) She does use butter in a lot of recipes so if you are soy and dairy allergic/intolerant and don't have a suitable substitute than that would be the only reason I would question getting it. Shortening could probably be subbed for butter though.

I just wanted to chime in about this cookbook. I just joined the board yesterday, but I've had this cookbook about 6 months, and it's the best one I have. I have taken the coconut cake as cupcakes to several gatherings, and they've been devoured!! Everyone raves about them, and people have no idea there's anything different about them. The brownies are great too. I would encourage everyone to buy the book, both because the recipes are so good, and because the author has been so gracious!

      Hi Katht - I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was...

      Hi Colleen Are you supplementing B12/having injections? I have learned recently that sometimes when you start addressing a B12 deficiency, it can temporarily make your symptoms worse. But it is important not to stop the treatment. Regarding your problems with anxiety, again that is another symptom of a B12 deficiency. I didn't know...

      Hi Katht -  I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal  function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was very true for me. I am still elimination foods from my diet. One person suggested you keep a food diary and that is a good idea but it is probably best just to do an elimination diet. There are several ne and maybe one for celiacs. I used one for a while and started with plain rice and zucchini and then added back other foods to see if I reacted or not. That helped a great deal but what I did not realise that it would only very small amounts of some foods to cause inflammation in my intestine. Within the last few years I have stopped eating any trace amounts of hot peppers, corn and soy(mostly in supplements) and nuts, (the corn in Tylenol was giving me stomach aches and the nuts were causing foot pains). Starting an elimination diet with white rice is better than brown rice that has some natural toxins. In addition it is very important to drink sufficient plain water. You can find out how much to drink for your height and weight online. I do have difficulty drinking 48 ounces of water but just recently have found an electrolyte supplement that helps me stay well hydrated, Adding the water and electrolytes may reduce muscle cramps and gag spams you wrote about. . Also buy some anti-gluten enzyme capsules to take with meals. I use GliadinX advertised here. These are a lot of things to do at one time as they reflect my 20 years of experience. I hope you do what you can manage to do over time. Good luck and take care.

      Hi Colleen Are you supplementing B12/having injections? I have learned recently that sometimes when you start addressing a B12 deficiency, it can temporarily make your symptoms worse.  But it is important not to stop the treatment.  Regarding your problems with anxiety, again that is another symptom of a B12 deficiency.   I didn't know what anxiety was until it hit me like a train several months before gastrointestinal issues began, so I can certainly relate.   Two books which helped me hugely were At Last A Life by Paul David (there is a website you can look up) and The Depression Cure: The Six-Step Programme to Beat Depression Without Drugs by Dr Steve Llardi.  Although his book is aimed at people who have depression, following the principals he sets out was so helpful in lessening my anxiety.  Llardi suggests we need to focus on getting enough: - physical exercise - omega-3 fatty acids - natural sunlight exposure - restorative sleep - social connectedness - meaningful, engaging activity   ... and we should feel a lot better. That is not to stay you must stop taking medication for depression or anxiety if you have been prescribed it, but adopting the changes Dr Llardi sets out in the book should really help. Can I just ask two more questions:  1) you say that you are B12 deficient, did they test your iron levels too?  If not, you really ought to be checked for deficiency and, 2) did they check your thyroid function, as an overactive thyroid can be cause rapid heartbeat and a lot of coeliacs have thyroid issues?
