Pamela's Brownies

I'm the only one in my house that needs gluten-free. All my COOKING I am doing gluten-free, but I do keep some snacks around the my skinny glutenivores. I'm trying not to buy a lot of gluten-free sweets, because I'm already overweight and I know how I can devour a ton at one time. But sometimes, I'm just about to KILL for something.

so I was wondering about making some brownies...I've got a mix of Pamela's here already. This stuff is so expensive and I hate to "waste" it on my husband and son...you know what I mean...when they can have other stuff. What if I made a pan and froze them one or two togther? Anyone tried freezing them?

I also have some homemade pasta sauce in the freezer, but I'm not going to eat it because I think I possibly CC it stirring in several pots with one spoon...made it before I was diagnosed. I refuse to dump everything in the trash. So I bought some jarred pasta sauce for myself to use when they use the homemade, till it is gone. You think I could split the jar and freeze some of it? Should be ok, right?

Does Pamela's bread freeze well? Pancakes?

Honestly, I don't enjoy cooking but currently, if I wanna eat, I gotta cook it! I'd rather make stuff, like pancakes, in bulk and freeze if it is doable.

thanks!!!

I tried Pamela's in the beginning before I found out I wasn't able to tolerate tapioca flour/starch. I made pancakes yummm they are really good though. I would make the entire bag and freeze them in a large zip loc. Place 2-3 depending on the size together so I could take out what I was going to eat. Wrap what you want to defrost in a paper towel and put in the microwave for about 1 minute (on a plate). They freeze and defrost really well. I have tried pancakes in a couple different brands and they all freeze well. I like to make a some plain that I will put syrup on when eating and some that have chocolate chips in them that I don't put syrup on.

Last weekend I made Gluten Free Pantry Muffins and put some in the refrigerator and the rest in the freezer. When I got to the freezer container I took them out the night before and put them in the refrigerator. When I was going to eat one for breakfast I would put it in the microwave for about 20 seconds to warm up some.

My next sweet type baking is going to be cookies....I am also the only one in my household that eats gluten free so I am going to give in and make cookies sometime soon and try to freeze part of it. Figure when I was young my mom froze girl scout cookies so should be almost the same right haha (miss those). I really want to make sugar cookies and snickerdoodles (I have cookbook recipies for both :D )

To be honest, I was very nervous on how to free gluten free foods at first especially sweets but I finally gave in and tried to freeze it and they were fine. Somethings I am not sure how to defrost so haven't made them yet.

GOOD LUCK

You can successfully freeze so many things. Liquids can be frozen in ice cube trays and popped out into ziplocks once frozen, that way you can defrost just enough for what you need and not have waste. Sometimes to save freezer space I put cooled down soups or sauces into quart freezer bags-just enough for one serving- squeeze out the excess air and flatten out as much as possible. then after they freeze up, I put all of the same kind into a larger ziplock-so I don't have stray stuff floating around in the freezer.

I made banana bread using Gluten Free Pantry's Muffin and Scone mix. It freezes well.

I freeze brownies and cupcakes in single sandwich bags and then put them in 1 big ziplock bag and take out and thaw whenever I want one.

I do the same thing for brownies. I don't microwave them - they thaw in about 20 minutes.

I also freeze spagetti sauce in small tupperwares or in reusable containers, like what cream cheese comes in. The ice cube tray idea is good for single use servings.

I freeze muffins all the time.

If you were to make a whole recipe of pamela's bread mix as pizza, you could make 3-4 small pizzas so that you could have a single serving. Pre-bake the crusts then freeze them individually for later use. I put mine in a foodsaver bag and get rid of the air but that may be overkill.

The freezer is a great way to save money when cooking this way.

I made a cake today using Pamela's vanilla cake mix. My son has been invited to a birthday party next weekend and I froze a piece of the cake for him to take.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much...

      We feel your pain. It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/
