My city newspaper does a cookie contest every year and this years winner is a gluten free cookie made from almond paste. Beat out a whole bunch of wheat based ones too. The girl who made them isn't even gluten free but her father and brother are. Definately brightened my dreary day to read about it as it is nice to see non-gluten free folks realizing that we really can have food that is gluten free and tasty too.

Yippie!! Thanks...and it's even easy! I've never bought almond paste, though. Is there a gluten-free brand? Or are we expected to make an almond paste of some kind? Yes, I'm not much of a cook....

You should be able to find it in the baking aisle. The one we have used came in a cylinder shaped package. Don't remember the name of it though. I think almond paste is just almonds ground up so should be gluten free as long as nothing has been added to it.

That is pretty cool. My mom told me that something similar was in their paper not to long ago. There was local baking contest and a gluten free desert(don't know exactly what it was) won the contest.

Thank you for posting that recipe Ravenwood. I was thinking about gluten-free cookies and could only come up with meringues.

All of my aunts and my grandparents were from Dutch descent. They used to bake with almond paste quite a bit. Thanks for adding to our gluten-free holiday goodies! :)

I made a half of recipe today. They look nice and have a decent taste, but I don't like the texture. Maybe the hub will care for them more.

you can make your own almond paste with ground up almonds and oil. I use coconut oil, mix it with ground almonds, and eat it on buckwheat crackers or rice cakes

Interesting - this is a common recipe that is eerily similar to amaretti cookies. I've seen it many times before so I am afraid it is not a novel idea. Some people really love amaretti. I like to use them in tiramisu as they make good ladyfingers.

Having said that, it is great to see a gluten-free cookie winning!

      nuts.com -- no longer Celiac safe?

      By maryannlove · Posted

      Though trying to diligently eat gluten free, recent bloodwork was bad so searching for culprits.  Eat lot of (preferably mixed) nuts.  Most allergen labels say may be processed on equpment that also processes wheat, etc.  Finally found ONE kind (unsalted mixed) at BJ's.  Wessley (their store brand) that did not contain that warning.  Says in large letters "A GLUTEN FREE FOOD."  Well, all nuts are a gluten free FOOD!  Have been eating and now wonder if this is intentionally decieving.  So stopped eating until find culprit.  Nuts are so good for protein and fiber (especially if trying to not eat meat).  'Tis so frustrating.  Thanks to above, I'll look into Tierra Farms.

      Yasso frozen yogurt bars - be careful

      By maryannlove · Posted

      Despite being very diligent about eating gluten free, my recent bloodwork was bad.  So been on a mission to find the culprit(s).  During Covid my daughter found "certified gluten free" Yasso mint chocolate chip yogurt bars at Costco.  I was elated and have been eating them since.  When delving into possible culprits I discovered that the boxes with 12 bars at both Costco and BJ's no longer say "certified gluten free."  But the boxes with 4 bars at groceries and Target still say "certified gluten free."  Contacted the manufacturer and was told to go by what the box says.  So guess different machinery is used.  Was also told they were in the process of changing boxes.  Will be interesting to see what that brings.

      Gluten free thyroid medications

      By maryannlove · Posted

      Before I could call them (after all my research), Costco Pharmacy called and told me they found a generic gluten-free levothyroxine.  Was told name is Amneal brand.  Said they called and company  confirmed is gluten free.  Only one I had found was Lannett so did more research and found:  “BRIDGEWATER, N.J., Nov. 12, 2018.  Amneal Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NYSE: AMRX) today announced that it has completed a transition agreement with Lannett Company. Under the terms of the agreement, Amneal will take over the distribution and marketing of Levothyroxine sodium tablets from Lannett beginning December 1, 2018 through March 23, 2019, ahead of when the Company's previously announced 10-year Levothyroxine distribution agreement with Jerome Stevens begins on March 23, 2019.” So looks like we’re good until at least 6/23/29.  Active ingredients are colloidal silicon dioxide, lactose, magnesium stearate, CORN STARTCH, acacia, sodium startch glycolate. Bottom line:  We can tell our pharmacists we need gluten-free, generic Amneal brand Levothyroxine.   AMEN.

      Given your severe symptoms it sounds like you would be much better off going 100% gluten-free!
