ARCHIVED Frozen gluten-free Taquitos?
Bethrenee replied to ebrbetty's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I don't know, so this is just a guess.. But I think it means things made in the US. So if its made in mexico, and it has maltodextrin in it, there is no guarantee it is gluten-free. I don't think the selling location matters, just the manufacturing... -
ARCHIVED Frozen gluten-free Taquitos?
Bethrenee replied to ebrbetty's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I couldn't remember why I wasn't concerned with that Too much information to keep track of! So I looked it up - this is what I found: Maltodextrin is prepared as a white powder or concentrated solution by partial hydrolysis of corn starch or potato starch with safe and suitable acids and enzymes. (1) Maltodextrin, when listed on food sold in... -
ARCHIVED Frozen gluten-free Taquitos?
Bethrenee replied to ebrbetty's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
My husband likes Jose Ole Taquitos Chicken flavor (in corn tortillas). We are new to the ingrediant reading, but I think they are gluten free - Stone ground corn masa flour, water, guar gum, vegetable oil - tortillas. filling - chicken meat with modified corn starch, salt, sodium phosphate, water, and then less than 2% of peppers, onions, alt, spice... -
ARCHIVED Chicken And Rice Soup
Bethrenee replied to Juliebove's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
My husband practically lived off those Thai Kitchen plastic dish noodles for the first month he was diagnosed. He was able to take them to work, and have something for last minute lunches/snacks/etc. Of course, he is burned out now, but it gave us time to figure out other foods! I hadn't seen the "Ramen" version of those - what store did you buy... -
ARCHIVED gluten-free Frozen Bread Or Roll Dough
Bethrenee replied to KennyF's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I would LOVE a frozen bread dough! I used to make regular bread, rolls, cinnamon rolls, and cinnamon pull aparts (some people call it monkey bread I think) all with frozen bread dough. My husband was diagnosed gluten intolerant (I guess less severe than Celiac's??), so he occasionally takes a chance with cross contamination, but I would prefer to minimize... -
ARCHIVED Gluten-free Gourmet Recipe Help
Bethrenee replied to mmaccartney's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Success! And in a regular store! If you have Jewel Stores (and maybe Albertsons?) check there. I found two different brands of soup base, in chicken, beef, and vegetable. I think one of them was called "Better than Bullion". But I found it near the regular bullion. (and it was gluten free, as far as I could tell - I'm still new at reading labels... -

Bethrenee replied to mamatide's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
I tried rolls - very basic, just scooped some dough into my hand and rolled it into a ball. My husband loved them! I am not much of a baker, so I am just trying whatever pops into my head. I thought next time I would try rolling it out (might be hard to do?) and cutting out larger sizes to make hamburger buns. But what he really loved was the grilled... -

No luck - Althought I only looked quickly at a couple of mainstream stores, and haven't checked yet the health food store. I ended up using powdered chicken bullion, and my casserole turned out fine. Not sure if it is strong enough for making cream soup. -

ARCHIVED Is This Recipe Convertible? Baking Powder Biscuits
Bethrenee replied to Bethrenee's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Unfortunately its not just the color - the overall flavor was okay, but the density and texture were off... I saw some of the other posts, and maybe I'll try those recipes? -
ARCHIVED Is This Recipe Convertible? Baking Powder Biscuits
Bethrenee posted a topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
I know its not just a matter of substituting rice flour for wheat flour, but I really love these biscuits. 2 c flour 3 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp salt 1/4 c shortening 1 c milk mix shortening and dry ingrediants till crumbly like pie crust. Add milk and stir just until mixed. Drop by spoon on to cookie sheet. Bake 12-15 minutes at 400 degrees... -

Hi, hoping I could get some opinions here... I have a recipe for a rice hamburger hotdish that I'd like to make gluten-free... the only needed change is the cream soup.. I have Betty Hagman's recipe for that... Here's the original recipe: 1 lb hamburger, 1 chopped onion, 1 can cream mushroom soup, 2 cups water, 2 chicken bullion cubes, 1 cup chopped... -

Bethrenee replied to mmaccartney's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
I don't know if this helps any, but I'm trying to make the same recipe, and wondering what to use for the powdered soup base... I did a search online and your question came up! I also found the following paragraph... "Soup base This is a product that has been used for years by professional chefs, and only recently available at regular grocery stores... -

Bethrenee replied to mamatide's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Mine fell a little bit, and caved in on the sides a little bit, so next time I'm going to let it sit in the pan for a few minutes (I took it out right away)..... But ABSOLUTELY Delicious - and pretty easy to make! My hubby loved it too, and since he's the one who has to eat it, that was the point.... My mom was even interested in the recipe, just because... -

Bethrenee replied to mamatide's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Given that I have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to baking bread, the fact that I've had several flops with different recipes, and that my loaf is 5 minutes from being done, and looks fabulous, I'd say... ME!!! -

Bethrenee replied to mamatide's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
I've tried a couple of mixes from the store, and my husband didn't really like them (him - gluten intolerance, me trying to be supportive). I wanted to try this recipe since everyone is raving about it, but I think I messed up! Mine was not "pourable" into the bread pan - it was very thick. I double checked and I put the right amount of ingrediants... -

Hi, I am new to the site, but already have found tons of useful cooking and food tips! A little background on me, in case it helps with the questions: My husband has been diagnosed with gluten intolerance - one doctor tested him this summer for celiac's, but said it was negative. However, my husband got worse and worse, and we were eating lots of high...
