    Would there be a reason the grilled chicken salad at Burger King would not be okay? The heated packet the chicken comes in says "contains soy," and all the dressings are Ken's that I have checked out online and read the labels for. BF

    Hormel deli ham rolled around string cheese and then rolled in a lettuce leaf; dip in gluten-free dressing Sprinkle black beans and cheese on a corn tortilla, fold it in half, brown it on both sides Melt some Great Value jarred cheese sauce and pour over tortilla chips and beans Make up some instant mashed potatoes, top w/Hormel grilled chicken strips...

    Can you make pancakes with other flours that you don't have trouble with? I tried several sorghum flour recipes and liked them. Some came off this website: Open Original Shared Link (really liked the pumpkin pecan spice bread) and others from a book called something like Gluten Free Family Recipes. BF

    What would xanthan gum do to a recipe if you put it in but really didn't need it? This recipe looks really easy: 2 cups gluten free flour, 2 cups sugar, 2 eggs, 3 tsp. baking soda, and a 20 oz. can crushed pineapple with juice. Dump and stir; bake in 13 x 9 pan at 350 about 40 minutes. Then it had a cream cheese frosting on it. I think I'll try it with...

    I downloaded the pineapple cake recipe that showed up in the Clan Thompson e-mail that came today and it calls for "gluten free all purpose flour," 2 cups. The only other leaving is 3 teaspoons baking soda. Could I use 2 cups Featherlight mix? Would I need to add anything to it? I would love to learn how to substitute in regular recipes.

    If I have a recipe that calls for egg replacer, can I just substitute real egg? Is egg replacer a powder-type thing? BF

    If you want to make breadsticks too, try CarrieFaith's recipe. I made those this weekend but made them as rolls instead. That dough is also sticky; she suggested a pastry bag or a corner snipped off a plastic bag, which would be good for breadsticks, but I sprayed my hands with Pam and rolled spoonfuls into 2" balls and baked them. Hot out of the oven with...

    As a matter of fact there was a recipe in there, and I have already pre-tested it (twice) for y'all. The first time I made a sausage pizza in a 12" pan. I had to work at getting the crust thin enough to cover the whole pan. The second time, I made two barbecue chicken pizzas in the bottoms of one 8" and one 10" springform pan, and it was just right...

    I was given a copy of this magazine (geared to pizzeria owners) and it has a good article on suggesting the consideration of offering gluten free pizzas in pizzerias, like having a "Gluten Free Tuesday." The article starts out "Suppose your doctor told you that if you consume any more pizza and beer, your insides would rot out. . .savvy operators who follow...

    If a parent has DH and wishes a child to be tested (keeping in mind that we live in an area where there aren't any GI specialists and the PCPs aren't very knowledgeable about celiac), is there some specific test we should make sure they do (and what would that test tell us?) Is there a resource I could print out to take along? BF

    I agree. If you can't get the gluten out of a scratched teflon pan, there is no way you could remove it from the insides of a bread machine. I have one in my basement that I won't use again. I'm even afraid to use my Kitchen Aid mixer that I used before, and I really need one; I've burned up two hand mixers making bread. BF

    Please, everyone who likes a good clean entertaining read, get Jan Karon's Mitford series books and read them in order. They would all be at the public library by now. Two chapters into the first one and I wanted to move to Mitford so bad and live among those people There are six or seven in the series. BF

    Can someone (with no GI symptoms) who has already gone through the rounds of Dapsone, finally gotten rid of the rash, and been on the gluten free diet for awhile chime in here? How sensitive were you to glutening afterward? How often did new blisters crop up, how long did it take to get rid of them, and did you have to go back on Dapsone after getting off...

    I made a cheesecake for Easter dinner and experimented for the crust with some rice bran crackers I found at the health food store. I think the brand name was Health Valley; they're square and embossed on the top and have the texture of a firmer shortbread cookie; a little sweet. I crushed them up and the crumbs looked exactly like graham cracker crumbs....

    What about keeping nuts and dried fruit in your car for this kind of thing? Get a kind you really like; for me it would be salted cocktail peanuts and the dried cherries the health food store 5 minutes away from the office have. (I can only buy a handful at a time or I would eat the whole thing.) You could also keep a box of gluten-free crackers in there...

    I noticed in this March-April 2007 edition a recipe with a "gluten free" label for a mini-loaf of banana bread. It even had suggestions for using the leftover tapioca flour. I hope they start doing this regularly because it's hard for us to use up the full size things before they get stale. I'm anxious to try it; I love to bake (even with the few dismal failures...

    Since I made our household gluten-free I very rarely eat gluten any more except once in awhile at lunch when I'm working and I have never had a problem with gluten-free pasta or anything else (except gaining a few pounds from cooking more I think he probably would have had whatever it was regardless and would tell him not to worry.

    *sigh* I don't want any other allergies. I want to eat all the food I like, esp Pirate's Booty, it is my one indulgence! May I ask, what is Pirate's Booty? BF

    Try this for a birthday cake: Crush up either some gluten-free cereal or gluten-free cookies; not too many; and sprinkle them over the bottom of a 9 x 9 pan. Mix 8 oz. fat-free cream cheese, softened, 1 can fat-free Eagle milk, 1/3 cup creamy peanut butter. Fold in 2 8-oz. cartons fat free Cool Whip, thawed. Spread half over the crumbs, sprinkle with chopped...

    Was there something omitted from this recipe? I noticed when I had all the ingredients in the bowl that the only liquid for 3 1/3 cups of flour was one egg. I went ahead and mixed, but it never came together into a batter or dough; it stayed dry and crumbly. I didn't want to waste my ingredients so added 2/3 cup milk and went ahead and baked, but they were...

    This is one of my pet peeves. There is no mainstream, grocery store cereal that is gluten free that isn't also garishly colored, puffed-up, sugared crisp air (my apologies to anyone who actually likes that stuff ). If anyone ever finds any, please post it. I've read labels until my eyes crossed and it all has either malt flavoring (why?) or was produced...

    Another healthy idea is using coconut oil (same as coconut butter) in place of things like butter, margarine, shortening, etc. Just be certain to use the good stuff, not the cheap RBD trash. Someone else on here recently mentioned baking with coconut oil. I have heard for years (and saw in a medical pamphlet yesterday about reducing cholesterol levels...

    Also, the cookie recipe with the dry pudding mix is very good. I'll put it on here tomorrow. It's real similar to the cookie recipe I used to make all the time to send to things at the boys' school when they were younger; those cookies were always in demand and this gluten-free version is better than any flour-based cookie I have tried. You can use white...
