    I have 3 bread machines....Zo, Oster, and Breadman...all were purchased at thrift stores for $15-$20, and all were unused. (I keep one at the house, one on the motorhome, and one for a spare.)There were no instructions, so I went online and obtained instructions for all models. I've been trying many bread recipes and haven't found the perfect one yet. I travel...

    I also discovered this recipe about 3 weeks ago, and it is fabulous!! I substituted almond extract, and added fresh cherry halves, and some slivered almonds. I made it with an expensive can of Thai coconut milk, and also Imperial Dragon Coconut Milk from Walmart ($1.32). In my opinion, there was no difference in the taste. The cheaper brand worked just fine...

    Today I purchased BC cake mixes.....they use 3 eggs, and butter. I'm also allergic to dairy and soy so will try the cake mix with Spectrum. Cookie and brownie mix have soy in them, and the cake mixes say "may contain soy ingredients". Oh well, I'm happy making my own from scratch recipes and Namaste products have worked out very well for me.

    Peace.....the best gluten/soy free chicken stock I have found is natural Kitchen Basics brand. I buy the 8 oz. boxes, although they come in larger 32 ounce boxes also. They sell chicken, beef, and vegetable stock, all gluten/soy free. The flavor is excellent. The chicken stock consists of: chicken stock, chicken flavor, sea salt, honey, vegetable stocks ...

    I also use Tinkyada brown rice pasta and it always comes out perfect. Adding a bit of oil to the water keeps it from sticking, and rinsing it in cold water when cooked stops the cooking process, so it won't get mushy. It even tastes great the next day. I've also cooked corn pasta and other brands with the same excellent results.

    Amy, what section of the store did you find the Betty Crocker mixes in.....the regular food section, or a special aisle such as natural/special diet section?

    I, too have been thinking of buying a grinder, only my thoughts were to use it to produce a superfine flour mix. I've just started using superfine brown rice mix and superfine almond. The prepackaged mixes are pricey. We live for 6 months in the southern desert in a motor home and have solar panels that serve our needs very nicely....with backup generator...

    When my children were younger they used to laugh at me when I would throw a strand of pasta on the wall to check it for doneness!!! Now they also do it. If it sticks, it is done, if it falls off, it isn't. You can also take a strand and simply taste test it.

    I also use Tinkyada, and it has never failed me. You must follow directions exactly as the replies on this forum suggest. "Mush" means that you have overcooked it. Rinsing pasta in cold water after cooking stops the cooking process, so that it doesn't get mushy. I also take one strand of pasta out just before the cooking time is up, and test it. You must...

    Katydid, you are reading my mind....today I made a cherry pie, and was thinking if one of those circles would work out.......do you put plastic wrap over the dough first to keep it from sticking to the circle??

    RoseRobin, since your son is agreeable to having testing done, I would have several tests done, especially the DNA test, if only for your own knowledge . I had a DNA test done and it was positive...double genes (gluten/celiac). Food allergy tests also showed multiple food allergies (including grains) in addition to the lactose intolerance I've had for over...

    So far Bette Hagman and Analise Robert's recipes for pie crust have worked out best for me. I still experiment with other recipes, always trying to improve......and end up going back to these 2 recipes .

    I've also done the Enterolab stool test. Plastic wrap is not used, a special plastic bowl is used. It took me about 3 tries before I was able to get an acceptable speciman to send.....there can be no urine in the sample, so if you are female, it may take a bit of juggling and trying the procedure over again. Simply wash the bowl thoroughly and wait for the...

    Angelhair45.....I live in a dry climate and an elevation of 4050 feet . I tried your recipe, and it came out great!! I've tried experimenting with different flour blends, and so far yours has worked out the best....very moist. I nuked it at 80. Living Without magazine has a recipe for an all purpose flour mix using 5 flours, and when I have time I will...

    Thanks for this info.....I have a package on hand and will try it soon. I've been using Kinninick pizza crust, and am hoping to find something cheaper and more to my taste.

    My first attempt came out slightly dry, but very good. There was no egg or cocoa taste at all. I'll use a bit less flour next time, and cook for a shorter period of time. I left out the cocoa, and subbed an Analise Roberts flour mix for all flours and the result was a sponge cake like consistency, perfect for strawberry shortcake.

    Hello and welcome to this board. It would help if you let us know of your location, so appropriate replies can be made. I've noticed some of the members live in other areas of the world, and the ingredients and measurements would not be the same. Do a search on this website for gluten free bread, and you will find many, many recipes. Some supermarkets have...

    Yes, please share your recipe....I love rhubarb.

    Guess someone will have to be the guinea pig, try it in baking, and let us know how it turned out. I'm supposed to be allergic to white potatoes, but not sweet potatoes. I love sweet potatoes. You are fortunate to live near an Asian market.

    It certainly is a heck of a lot cheaper to use the aluminum foil, for sure. I must confess, my husband helps me out with the pricey foods and equipment I have to purchase. I think I tried the aluminum foil at one time and had trouble getting it to stay in a perfect circle. If something doesn't bake properly, I eat it anyway. I have purchased, but have...

    I use Wilton 4" Miniature Springform non-stick pans that I have purchased from Michael's Craft Stores. They are pricey, about $4.98 each, so I use a coupon and have purchased one at a time. Not every Michael's store carries this product...it is found in the aisle where wedding cookware is carried. The size is more like a Kaiser roll, but I figure if I have...

    Mae 1118 Oh, I am so glad to see your comments about the chocolate chip cookies!!!I've had the same experience...they liquify when cooking....quite a disaster. I have used regular brown rice flour, and Authentic Foods brown rice flour and got the same results. I have found that using 2 3/4 cups of brown rice flour and refrigerating the dough, and baking...

    I also have 2 copies of this cookbook....one in the house, one in the motorhome. So glad she has another cookbook in the works. I have quite a collection of gluten-free cookbooks by many authors, and use certain recipes from many of them. For ice cream lovers who are lactose/milk/casein intolerant, I highly recommend The Ice Dream Cookbook by Chef Rachel...

    Turtle Mountain now has the most wonderful dairy and soy free yogurt and ice cream that is made from coconut milk. I'm fortunate enough to live close to Frontier Natural Foods and they carry this product. The yougurt comes plain or several flavors. There have been many recipes that I have wanted to try using yogurt, but because I'm lactose,soy,casein,milk...

    Yes, Maple Grove Farms pure maple syrup is now being sold at Walmart.....at least where I live. Previously, I could only find it at natural food stores. It's expensive, worth it, and the price at Walmart is a bit less. The label reads: All natural U.S. Grade A Dark Amber. No preservatives. Product of USA and Canada. I had some today on French Toast....yummy...
