ARCHIVED Birthday Cake...recipes Please?
kbabe1968 replied to kbabe1968's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Gulia - yeah, I did. Like I said, everyone else liked it....so that's good. I think because it was in the bundt pan it cooked a lot longer than it should have. I'm DEFINITELY going to try it again...but bake it in a 9" pan instead and see what happens. It was very dense and dry on the outside. I also used on eof the blend substitutions... -
Did you all get to watch it??? The segment was done sans Rosie and The others - there was one girl with Elizabeth while she interviewed Dr. Green but she was helpful, not rude, and since I don't normally watch, I have NO CLUE who she was. She had said her mom was Celiac, though. I thought it was pretty good....although, they didn't seem to give a lot...

ARCHIVED Birthday Cake...recipes Please?
kbabe1968 replied to kbabe1968's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Okay. Had my folks over for dinner last night and we had the cake. I baked it in a bundt pan, and I mixed the flours a little more (based on one of the ratings). I'm going to retry, following true to recipe. Everyone else loved it (hubby, parents, even the 2 year old! Older kids were not as thrilled). I didn't care for it much, the smell was... -
ARCHIVED Tinkyada Lasagna Noodles
kbabe1968 replied to a topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
I laid them flat on a cookie sheet and poured boiled water over them and let them sit for about 10 minutes. This made them plyable but not too wiggly. They cooked great in the recipe. Even the leftovers were divine! Not mushy at all. -
ARCHIVED The Most Delicious Home-made Gluten Free Bread I've Ever Tasted...
kbabe1968 replied to mamatide's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Okay, I have ALL the ingredients. When I'm finished my free sample of Kinnickkinick Whole Grain bread, I'm going to make this! Would I be able to split it into 2 1 lb loaves - or does it only make 1 1 lb loaf? Thanks -
ARCHIVED Gluten Free Bread
kbabe1968 replied to kbabe1968's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I'm going to check if our Whole Foods carries it. I mean, I hate to take the business elsewhere, BUT $2 bucks IS $2 bucks! LOL -
ARCHIVED Gluten Free Bread
kbabe1968 posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
WOW! I went to our local health food store today. The guy was really great, and really helpful. He gave me a FREE loaf of Kinickkinnick (am I spelling that right?) Whole Grain Bread. it was REALLY dark brown and looked yummy. It was!!! Wow. It's $7 at the store, so it was a great free gift! WOW. Anyway....I bought xanthum gum too but it was... -

mamaw - make sure you get to Doylestown for Jules Thin Crust - it's totally worth it. TOTALLY worth it. I felt normal eating pizza, real pizza. -
ARCHIVED Masa Harina Flour
kbabe1968 replied to Guhlia's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Masa Harina is a brand of yellow corn flour (not meal, not starch) - commonly used in the southwest for making corn tortillas. Thanks to my time in Phoenix, I became well acquainted with Masa Harina. Our Aldi (in PA) sells Masa Harina. I used to get it from a mexican grocery when we lived in Phoenix. If you have trouble...find an Indian or Asian Grocery... -
ARCHIVED Baked gluten-free Pasta - Freezer Friendly?
kbabe1968 replied to SandraNinTO's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
I made one the other week. I didn't freeze but refridged it overnight....it seemed fine. I undercooked it by a minute or two. That may have helped. I think it would be kind of mushy if you cooked it to the right texture and then used it, froze it, thawed it and recooked. I'm interested to hear aobut freezing it b/c I have a recipe I'm making htis week... -
ARCHIVED Birthday Cake...recipes Please?
kbabe1968 replied to kbabe1968's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Mayo doesn't throw me....my former life I was an avid gluten baker (hobby not paid). I just don't have a good cake recipe that would adapt well to gluten free ings....this sounds good though. I may bake a half batch and test it out! -
nancym - u must eat sushi! LOL! I investigated it. It was very interesting. There is a book out there called RAW...it's a cookbook and really has some neat recipes. I got one for almond milk that I still use, and occasionally make cheese out of it. I used a regular blender. And you don't need a dehydrater, just a slow oven (200 degrees) and...

ARCHIVED Birthday Cake...recipes Please?
kbabe1968 posted a topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
My baby is turning 2 in March and we're having a big birthday party. I want to bake a cake that I can eat too...frosting and all. I like vanilla or marble cake best with a good butter cream frosting? Can someone, or everyone, share their favorites. (I'd like to make my own, I know I can buy Cherrybrook Kitchen and do that, but it costs so danged... -
ARCHIVED Vans Wheat Free/gluten Free Gourmet Waffles
kbabe1968 replied to trents's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Well, I made it to Trader Joes last week. I just opened the TJ's waffles which were $1.79 for 8 of them. I don't like them as much as the Van's, honestly. BUT for the difference in price, I will settle for them! LOL Van's being $2.79 for SIX is frustrating! Oh well. -
ARCHIVED Finely Ground Brown Rice Flour
kbabe1968 replied to Fiddle-Faddle's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Do you have an Indian (country, not native American) grocer? WE found A LOT of different flours. I can't remember seeing brown rice, but I was overwhelmed, there were like 40 types of flour there. I got the white rice flour - 4 lb bag - for $2.29 (I usually pay $2.99 for ONE lb at Whole Foods) and I spent $2.99 for a 3 lb bag of sorghum flour. -
I think it would depend on what the rouix is for - if for a bechemel (white sauce), you can use corn starch and milk (I did 1 tbs corn starch with 1 cup milk). If it's for a creole type rouix, for say gumbo or jambalaya - I'm not sure if you could use corn starch b/c it does breakdown if you cook it too long. I would then use Arrowroot for that - or...

ARCHIVED Is It Possible To Have A Reaction From Handling Gluten Food
kbabe1968 replied to ami27's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
there he goes again! lm....u and my husband must be cut from the same cloth! You make all the jokes he would! Ami...I would say IF it was a glutening it was somehow ingested - how well did you wash your hands, do you bite your nails, etc. Before going gluten free, I spilled an entire 2 lb jar of wheat flour. I vacuumed it up. Last week, I... -
ARCHIVED Girl Scout Cookies - Samoas
kbabe1968 replied to kbabe1968's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
THANKS! COOL!!!! I'm so excited! Our MOPS table is responsible for refreshements next month. I'm never able to eat there b/c people always bring bready type things. Mine are all going to be gluten free but I'm not going to tell anyone!!! LOL!!! Making an egg casserole with hash browns in the bottom and cinnamon swirl bread....I may take... -

kbabe1968 replied to kbabe1968's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Thanks Amy! I appreciate the recipe! I might get the toss away foil muffin cups b/c I don't have a muffin pan! I'll probably be trying the shortbread recipe this weekend sometime, we have company Monday, so i want to test it out on them. IF I can get my hand on some caramels and coconuts - or the ingredients for the recipe you posted, I may give... -

kbabe1968 posted a topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
I'm posting this on my blog...but I'll post here too. I made this cake last night. I used to make it with wheat flour, before I had to go gluten free. BUT, I wanted to try it gluten free - and we had somewhere to take it today...well...I gave it a shot. It tasted EXACTLY like it was supposed to...which is a Tastykake Peanutbutter Tandy Kake.... -
ARCHIVED Is He Faking This?
kbabe1968 replied to mdzplus2's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
On the school side of it....is Homeschooling a possibility? K12 is everywhere, is "public school" it's just done at home, they provide computers, assignments, grading, etc. www.k12.org. That way, he can be at home and still be getting schoolwork done? Not sure on the health side, it sounds like you're doing so much already. Hope it gets better. -
Is it even possible you're continuing to be glutened by something and not realizing? I just had a glutening because - before going gluten free, I spilled flour in my kitchen. I vacuumed it up. Well, when I went to change the bag (since going gluten free in on Jan1), I had a SERIOUS reaction because I actually breathed in the wheat flour. OH MY...I was...
