I usually bake from scratch, but wanted to try this product. It is actually very good. Nice to have on hand for a quick snack. You have to keep an eye on it, though, because it took less time to bake than what the instructions say. I wish I had some ice cream to put on it, but I am pretty much snowed in. <_<

The devils food is great as is I just don't bake it as long as the directions state. The yellow is so so as is. I thought it to be a little on the dry side and cornbread like texture. I now add 2 oz of softened cream cheese to the batter and it turns out great. I bet sour cream or ricotta would work well too. I made two of the yellow cake with the addition for my youngest son's 6th birthday and the whole thing was gone the next day. My gluten eating husband was the one who put the biggest "dent" in it. :P

About yellow cake mixes.

I have a Pumpkin Gooey Butter Cake recipe from Thanksgiving (which I haven't made) that uses 1 box yellow cake mix, 1 egg, and 1/2 cup melted butter, mixed well, and patted into the bottom of a prepared 9x13 baking pan, This would be the "crust" I suppose.

Not a gluten-free recipe, but I'm thinking it could be adapted to gluten-free by simply using the Betty Crocker yellow cake mix. Kind of expensive "crust", but most gluten-free products are. I'm also wondering if one could use this for Cheesecakes, pies, etc.?

best regards, lm

Oh btw, the "top" of that recipe is eggs, butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, cream cheese, and pumpkin pie filling.

There's a thread somewhere else about this book, but if you're going to use the BC Cake Mixes, look for The Cake Mix Doctor Bakes Gluten Free. I borrowed a copy from the library and like it enough that I am going to buy my own. I'm pretty sure there's a recipe in there about making a crust with cake mix.

larry mac, would you please post the whole recipe . . . either here or start a thread in recipes. My family is all about all things pumpkin.

Regarding the BC cake mixes . . . that yellow cake mix really comes out dry whenever I make it as a cake. When I make cupcakes, they turn out just fine. When I bought the devil's food, I automatically just made cupcakes assuming it would do the same (don't know if it really would or not). I like my "from scratch" recipe better, but sometimes convenience wins out.

The yellow cake mix makes the BEST soft and chewy (not cake like) sugar cookies. They taste like the real deal. The recipe is on the Betty Crocker gluten free page. I have made them a bunch of times. They taste great with Nestle milk choc. chips mixed in too.

If you want a seriously sinful cheesecake crust, try using Pamela's dark chocolate choc. chip cookies as the base. Totally to die for...if you're a chocolate lover, of course :P

This sounds great...not to mention that it doesn't cost an arm and a leg!

Thanks! I've been making those Magic Cookie Bars since the 1960's. I gave my DIL my box of graham cracker crumbs when I was first diagnosed. I should surprise her with some of these...I'm sure it will be a surprise, too!

Any gluten free cereal works and crushes nicely in a food processor. I have also thrown in gluten free gingersnaps for a crust for a pumpkin cheesecake and the natures path gluten free honey cornflakes.

      Gluten free stuff

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.

      Gluten free stuff

      By trents · Posted

      Tammy, in the food industry, "gluten free" doesn't mean the same thing as "no gluten". As Scott explained, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) allows food companies to use the "gluten-free" label as long as the product does not contain more than 20 ppm (parts per million) of gluten. This number is based on studies the FDA did years ago to determine the reaction threshold for those with celiac disease. And the 20 ppm figure works for the majority of celiacs. There are those who are more sensitive, however, who still react to that amount. There is another, stricter standard known as "Certified Gluten Free" which was developed by a third party organization known as GFCO which requires not more than 10 ppm of gluten. So, when you see "GFCO" or "Certified Gluten Free" labels on food items you know they are manufactured with a stricter standard concerning gluten content. Having said all that, even though you may read the disclaimer on a food item that says the spices may contain wheat, barley or rye (the gluten grains), you should be able to trust that the amount of gluten the spices may contain is so small it allows the total product to meet the requirements of gluten free or certified gluten free labeling. I hope this helps.

      Gluten free stuff

      By Tammy Pedler · Posted

      As soon as I see gluten free I read the labels. I always find stuff that I cannot have on the products them selfs. Like spices, when the labels says  everything listed and then after like say garlic salt then the next thing is spices. When it says that that can contain wheat and other things I can’t have..

      Do some people with Celiacs develop hypoglycemia?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While hypoglycemia isn't a direct, classic symptom of celiac disease, it's something that some individuals with well-managed celiac disease report, and there may be a few plausible explanations for why the two could be connected. The most common theory involves continued damage to the gut lining or nutrient deficiencies (like chromium or magnesium) that can impair the body's ability to regulate blood sugar effectively, even after gluten is removed. Another possibility is delayed stomach emptying (gastroparesis) or issues with the hormones that manage blood sugar release, like glucagon. Since your doctors are puzzled, it may be worth discussing these specific mechanisms with a gastroenterologist or endocrinologist. You are certainly not alone in experiencing this puzzling complication, and it highlights how celiac disease can have long-term metabolic effects beyond the digestive tract.

      Paracetamol, aka, acetaminophen (Tylenol) just does not do anything for me as far as pain relief. It does help with fevers, though.
