    Hi ML, Of course I wouldn't know. But I did hear something a while back that perhaps they were being "diluted" by regular bees. I also found this link just now: Open Original Shared Link In no way am I disputing the bee experts. But, just a few months ago we had a back yard covered with weeds. They were very short, wiry little plants with...

    Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) is not news. It's been around for a while. I'm pretty sure there's been previous threads about it here. I know I posted about it some time ago on one of my forums, but it's difficult to search for it. Burts Bees keeps coming up. I'll try again after work. best regards, lm

    Hey Al, You know it's never good when a post starts out with "I just got out of the hospital yesterday after a colonoscopy mishap"! Seriously though, I hope it does turn out you have Celiac disease. When my doctor informed me of my diagnosis, he told me "of all the diseases I have to tell people they have, this one is the best. There's no operation...

    The first link you refer to is about the Colony Collapse Disorder

    Well that's a totally different recipe now isn't it? best regards, lm

    At least we know that Magdalena Rose is using the search feature. Too many members don't even bother, IMHO. Good for you MR! best regards, lm

    That really sucks. I know the feeling when your food comes and there's garlic toast on the plate, after you've carefully explained that bread will make you sick. And then the waitress say's "oh, they forgot to take that off". Meal ruined! best regards, lm

    Not if you use the "big" tuna cans. They're 3

    This is a quick bread (no yeast) recipe by Laurie150 that is quite unusual in that it uses amaranth as the exclusive flour (in a 1-1 ratio with starches). I've never tried baking without white & brown rice flours being at least equal with other flours, including sorghum. But, since I'm still unhappy with gluten-free bread after more than a year of...

    I'd get pizza for everyone and eat something gluten-free yourself. best regards, lm

    Yes, of course I noticed this, having read the ingredients labels very carefully. Why would they hide it, it's just an ingredient. The taquitos that have cheese in them seem to contain the wheat. Beef and cheese, and chicken and cheese. I can only speculate that is to prevent the cheese from oozing out during the cooking process. Very unfortunate for us,...

    I recommend Griffin's Original Syrup, it's the only syrup I've ever found that does NOT contain HFCS. It's made from sugar syrup and corn syrup. I use both real maple syrup and Griffin's. Please note, Griffin's Waffle and Pancake syrup do contain HFCS. Griffin's is in Muskogee, Oklahoma, but it's available in North Texas. I've made quite an effort to...

    There are some blue cheese salad dressings that list wheat as an ingredient. I avoid those of course. Otherwise, all the research I've done leads me to believe it's safe. Any blue cheese I'm likely to buy is made by modern methods, not started on bread in a damp cave. And even if it was, the bread doesn't reproduce and spread all over the cheese. I...

    I really like the texture the ricotta cheese gives the muffins. It's smooth, yet heavy, and finely grained. I tried a recipe with cottage cheese once but the kurds didn't blend well enough. I also frequently add a little sour cream to my baked goods, and it adds a light, springy texture. The ricotta cheese texture is a welcome change of pace. BTW,...

    And then do you dunk it in syrup? I use to get a McDonalds McMuffin (ham, egg, cheese, & english muffin sandwich), ask for a syrup, pour the syrup in one half of the McMuffin container, and dip the McMuffin in the syrup as I ate it. I know it sounds gross but damn, it was so good. best regards, lm

    Didn't have any almond meal, so I used some gluten-free oatmeal and flax meal instead. This recipe contains no sugar, other than the chocolate chips. Luckily, at the last moment I noticed and added

    You've got a good point. It does seem to be a fad, and for good reason. People react to new products, and I loved all the "crispy" versions that were starting to come out about 1

    Yeah gfc, you're right. Her toaster oven is already contaminated. My toaster oven has never been used for gluten bread, so I was thinking in reverse. best regards, lm

    Toast in the microwave? Now I've heard everything. best regards, lm

    No way no how. No gluten goes in my little nuclear convection toaster oven. My wife has her own pop-up toaster. Luckily for me, she comes from a family that thinks pop-up toast is real toast. I know better, coming from a family that never had a pop-up toaster, and grew up on real toast. You put the butter on the bread, and then toast it. How I miss my...

    Sorry you had to learn a lesson the hard way. I never ever buy any food product without reading the ingredients first. Even at home, I reread the ingredients often. I just don't trust my memory enough. I almost bought some Bush's chili beans the other day before I noticed they contained wheat flour. Of course I had previously discovered that, but didn't remember...

    I don't have DH so am only concerned with what I ingest. But, we have used Dial for decades. I like an antibacterial deoderant soap with a mild scent. Can't stand Irish Spring or Ivory type soaps, I almost can't breathe using them. There are 17 ingredients listed on the package of Dial Clean & Refresh (rinses clean without drying skin) Spring Water...

    Please consider. My gluten-free books are not just recipe books. Actually, I don't use too many of the recipes. Rather, they are gluten-free textbooks, little encyclopedias of gluten-free information. Each one attempts to prepare the newly diagnosed for the gluten-free life. Of course one can get gluten-free info out the wazoo on the internet for free...

    Sorry.

    The Best Gluten-Free Family Cookbook, by Donna Washburn & Heather Butt. It contains a very useful information table of thickener substitutions. It describes the properties of the starches Arrowroot, Cornstarch, Potato starch, and Tapioka starch. And the flours Amaranth flour, Bean flour, Rice flour (brown or white), Sorghum flour, and Sweet rice flour...
