I got their chili once and felt sick afterwards (and that's supposed to be safe!) However, I have the Butterfingers Concrete and it doesn't bother me.

Thanks! I have a mix I keep in my pantry along with a xantham gum measurement guide I got off of here. I'm going to give it a try tomorrow when my sisters come over to back cookies! Thanks!

I have my aunt's Kolacky recipe (polish cookie) and would love to make it this year. I would like to use gluten-free flour, but not sure if it would work: 1pkg. yeast (dry or small cake) 9 tblsp. milk or cream 1 tsp. vanilla 3 egg yolks 3 C sifted flour 1/2 tsp. salt 1 C Crisco Shortening sugar fruit filling The recipe calls to use sugar when...

I realize this is after-the-fact, but I made a pumpkin pie using Whole Foods Bakehouse frozen pie crust (it comes in a package of two) and it turned out AWESOME!! If it wasn't for the fact I was eating the pie, my family wouldn't have believed it was gluten-free! Whole Foods also had a recipe for pie crust that was really good - flakey and actually had...

OK, so I started bringing out my Fall decorations and now I'm getting my usual annual craving for candy corn! Brach's used to be the only brand I really liked and realize that they can't guarantee it's gluten-free. I checked the history for this topic and the latest it's been brought up was about 2 years ago. Does anyone know if anything's changed? I...

OK, I'd hate to see Donna carted off because she's been talking to herself ! I placed my order (and thank you, Donna, I probably would have taken my time mulling over what to do about a bronzer, but your post about the specials kinda helped me make my decision sooner!) and I decided to go with the Soft Bronzer and Summer Silk Dust. I figure if either...

I have a question about bronzers! Summer's coming and I will be getting a little tanner than I am now. I see that EM sells bronzers - has anyone tried them? I have light to fair skin so I don't need anything really dark, just something to give me a little color. Thanks! Laura

Well, the good news is that Mimi's opened up near my house. The bad news is they're not offering a gluten-free menu ! With Cheeseburger in Paradise and Biaggios in the same shopping center and both offering gluten-free menus, you'd think they'd follow suit ! Well, I'm going to write a letter to the manager to complain!!

I take Kyo-Dophilus every day. I can't feel - or tell - that it's working. My doctor recommends that I take a probiotic, so I do. I trust him and from what I read about probiotics, it's probably helping me more than I think.

I plan on going to Chevy's this weekend and was wondering if anyone's been there recently. Is there anything I should stay away from? Thanks!

I was never a heavy drinker and now I drink even less. Wine sometimes gives me migraines and swollen fingers (I believe from the sulfites) and beer - well, unless I'm at a restaurant that serves gluten-free beer (which is rare to never) - I drink that usually at home.

That's good to know!! I thought only Brown Cow was gluten-free and that brand is hard to find in my area. Before going gluten-free, I loved the Yoplait whips!! Yippee!! I can have some yogurt now!!

I just made this yesterday and it's WONDERFUL!! I had to go on a treasure hunt for some of the ingredients, but it's worth the time!! Yes, increase the bake time because mine did come out a little raw - and I used a 9" springform pan!

Costco has wonderful gluten-free items. Mrs. Mays Trio Bars are also great. Franceen's list is great because there are so many other items that are already gluten-free.

I have all my flours in their own shelf in our pantry. I have all my utensils in a container. I have my own toaster which is kept in a cabinet and taken out only when I use it. If I'm making a sandwich, I just use my plate to prepare it. I'm the only gluten-free out of a family of 4 - so I don't trust the counters no matter how much I wipe them...
