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.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      My understanding, and ex I erience is that we coeliacs are likely to suffer more extreme reactions from viruses. Eg we are more likely to be hospitalised with influenza. So, sadly, your shingles may be worse because you are coeliac. So sorry you had to go through this. My mother endured shingles multiple times. She was undiagnosed with coeliac disease until...

      Celiac Screening

      Hi all, Looking for some advice. I started having some symptoms this past summer like night sweats and waking at 4 am and felt quite achy in my joints. I was training heavily for cycling for a few weeks prior to the onset of these symptoms starting. I have had low Ferratin for about 4 years (started at 6) and usually sits around 24 give or take. I was...

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning?

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning? Hello. I've had another similar episode. I find it very difficult to differentiate between the symptoms of a cold or flu and those caused by gluten poisoning. In fact, I don't know if my current worsening is due to having eaten something that disagreed with me or if the cold I have has caused my body, which is hypersensitive...

      Celiac disease symptoms

      I'm no longer dealing with constipation. I got my liver test last month and it was in normal range. Two years ago I did have a vitamin D deficiency but I'm know taking vitamin D3 pills. Last month I got my vitamin D checked and it was in normal range. I don't believe I've had my choline checked. However, I do drink almond milk eat Greek yogurt on a daily...

      Celiac disease symptoms

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange.

She was undiagnosed with coeliac disease until she was 65. Me at 45. I've had the new long lasting vaccine. It knocked me around badly, but worth it to avoid shingles.

      Hi all,  Looking for some advice. I started having some symptoms this past summer like night sweats and waking at 4 am and felt quite achy in my joints. I was training heavily for cycling for a few weeks prior to the onset of these symptoms starting. I have had low Ferratin for about 4 years (started at 6) and usually sits around 24 give or take. I was doing some research and questioned either or not I might have celiac disease (since I didn’t have any gastric symptoms really). My family doctor ran blood screening for celiac. And my results came back: Tissue Transglutaminase Ab IgA HI 66.6 U/mL Immunoglobulin IgA 1.73 g/ My doctor then diagnosed me with celiac and I have now been gluten free for 3 months. In this time I no longer get night sweats my joint pain is gone and I’m still having trouble sleeping but could very much be from anxiety. I was since referred to an endoscopy clinic to get a colonoscopy and they said I should be getting a biopsy done to confirm celiac. In this case I have to return to eating gluten for 4-6 weeks before the procedure. Just wanted some advice on this. I seem to be getting different answers from my family physician and from the GI doctor for a diagnosis.    Thanks,

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange. Have you been supplementing Iron? How are your liver enzymes? Low levels of ferritin indicate iron deficiency, while  59% transferrin saturation indicates high iron levels.  Possibly indicating Fatty Liver Disease.  Choline is crucial for liver health, and deficiency is a known trigger for Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver.  Some experts say that less than 10% eat the the Food and Nutrition Board established Adequate Intake that are based on the prevention of liver damage. Severe constipation and hemorrhoids may be linked to a bile or choline deficiency.  "Ninety-five percent of phospholipids (PLs) in bile is secreted as phosphatidylcholine or lecithin."  Fatty acid composition of phospholipids in bile in man   Deficiency of these bile salts causes the bile to get thick. Some people with Celiac Disease are misdiagnosed with Gall Bladder bile issues.  Removal of the gallbladder provides only temporary relief. Whether or not celiac disease or NCGS are your issues you need to look at your vitamin D blood level.
