High Altitude Baking

My son, J just started school in Colorado. They have a nice kitchen in the dorm equiped with baking sheets, pans, etc. He doesn't need to be gluten-free. He met some girls who have been baking this first week of school. He wanted to make the PB cookies we make at home. They made them & he said they bubbled then fell flat.

The only 2 things they did differently was use Pam spray on the cookie sheets and the altitude.

:ph34r: Brain failed.

There is no flour in your recipe, but adding extra flour can help with high altitude.

Purchase some Betty Crocker gluten free cake,brownie,or cookie mix at the supermarket.....no adjustments are needed for high altitude. I purchase mine at King Sooper and Safeway.

Namaste Spice Cake mix also comes out perfect....I'm at 7500 ft. and have not had a problem with baking.Vitamin Cottage sells many gluten free mixes, including Namaste. I've never baked cookies without flour as an ingredient....sounds like your recipe may not work at high altitude......adding flour and chilling will help.

Maybe those flourless peanut butter cookies should be chilled before baking ???

Have your son check out the Boulder Farmer's market every Saturday. There has to be at least 6 gluten free bakeries that have absolutely mastered the art of high altitude baking.

I'm not discouraging him from baking on his own, but the market is also LOADED with single females.

See? Two birds with one stone!

Here's the update -

He's at CSU and they have lots of gluten-free stuff in Ft Collins. J isn't gluten-free but he loves those cookies. This cute girl was baking so he suggested his recipe. Fortunately, the fact that the cookies flopped didn't hurt. He had a date with her last night!

I was thinking before I even read the update that the failed cookies might be just as good as if they had turned out. He can smile sweetly and ask her to teach him how to bake. Some girls will think he's cute just for trying. ;)

I lived at 8500 feet near Vail. The Betty Crocker mixes have the high altitude instructions on the box. They turned out nicely.

Check this out.

TruDat! Also, tell him not to forget about talking about his amazing MamaKaren. Girls love boys who love their mama's (but not tooooo much :P )

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Russ H · Posted

      I hope you are on the mend soon. About 1 in 5 people who contracted chicken pox as a child go on to develop shingles in later life - it is not uncommon. There are 5 known members of the herpes virus family including chicken pox that commonly infect humans, and they all cause lifelong infections. The exact cause of viral reactivation as in the case of shingles or cold sores is not well understood, but stress, sunburn and radiotherapy treatment are known triggers. Some of the herpes viruses are implicated in triggering autoimmune diseases: Epstein-Barr virus is suspected of triggering multiple sclerosis and lupus, and there is a case where it is suspected of triggering coeliac disease. As to whether coeliac disease can increase the likelihood of viral reactivation, there have been several cohort studies including a large one in Sweden suggesting that coeliac disease is associated with a moderate increase in the likelihood of developing shingles in people over the age of 50. US 2024 - Increased Risk of Herpes Zoster Infection in Patients with Celiac Disease 50 Years Old and Older Sweden 2018 - Increased risk of herpes zoster in patients with coeliac disease - nationwide cohort study

      BFree bread is fortified with vitamins and minerals as is ASDA own-brand gluten-free bread. All the M&S bread seems to be fortified also.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Flash1970 · Posted

      You might try Heallix.  It's a silver solution with fulvic acid. I just put the solution on with a cotton ball.  It seemed to stop the nerve pain. Again,  not in your eyes or ears.   Go to heallix.com to read more about it and decide for yourself Also,  I do think nerve and celiac combined have a lot to do with your susceptibility to shingles breaking out.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      Celiac disease requires both genetic potential and a triggering stress event to activate the genes. Otherwise it remains dormant and only a potential problem. So having the genetic potential is not deterministic for celiac disease. Many more people have the genes than actually develop the disease. But if you don't have the genes, the symptoms are likely being caused by something else.
