    Maybe someone else can help here, I just sort of threw in some seed w/out measuring it...I think you'd need to use more seed than you would xanthan...maybe a tablespoon full for a loaf of bread? That's about what I put in. I didn't grind it...I think you'd need a separate grinder just for seeds, because I couldn't figure out how to grind it in a coffee...

    LOL...Actually, it's maybe better than our usual fare, too...I realized after I'd written it that it was really good for me to have to be thinking hard about the menu this week. I had a lot of good stuff in the freezer that I'd forgotten about, and was really lucky to have stocked up on fresh produce last week. If I had gone shopping this week, I bet a...

    Thanks, guys! I have cooled off a bit, although I still resent being pegged as a spammer even if it was automated. Hey, why not just put symbols or "Product Name Not Allowed Due to Previous Spam" or something? It seems a little mean to have it say "Lame Advertising". I understand the desire to not have spam on the site, but there are a million nicer ways...

    Tim...that's exactly what I'm thinking! You can achieve the same thing without being offensive and mean. It's not OK to shame someone who is not intentionally spamming on your site! How hard would it be to just put symbols or "Product Name Not Allowed Due To Potential Spam" or something? I understand being mad at spammers, but it's short sighted and...

    I am totally offended by the way this is handled. Why are some links fine and others are not? Why does someone else arbitrarily get to choose that? Is the point here to help people or to keep as much traffic on this particular site as possible? I totally agree that spammers suck and that we want to keep it off the site. However, with as many board moderators...

    Ok, I posted in the recipe section something about some seeds that my FIL gave me. Honest to God I was not trying to hock a brand name over the internet. I honestly would have to look up the brand name on the label to even see who makes it, and in my post I specifically said that I looked them up online and thought they were outrageously expensive. They...
  7. RissaRoo
    Um, This is absolutely not meant to be an advertisement! I don't know or care what brand the seed is, and I don't even know where my FIL got it. I googled it and saw the price and was looking for a way to buy it in bulk or something because I can't afford to buy more of it myself. I was just really impressed with how it worked in my baking. I am not driving...

    Has anyone else tried adding Lame Advertisement to their baking? I'm loving the stuff... My FIL gave me a bottle, and i have just been throwing it into baked goods. You can also grind it, but we only have one coffee grinder and I don't want to gum it up. The Lame Advertisement makes baked goods really moist and chewy, it acts like xanthan gum, but it's...

    This Week's Gluten Free Menu (with some new recipes) The name of the game this week is.....BUDGET! I've got a bunch of odds and ends in the fridge and freezer, and not much left in the grocery budget (um...Ok...pretty much nothing left!) since we spent more than usual preparing for and driving to the campout. Ah, how I love gas prices! But I digress. Luckily...

    some ideas: chopped cabbage, tiny shrimp, chopped green onion tossed in chili sauce (Taste of Thai and Taste of Asia are gluten-free--are were, last time I checked). Roll them up around the filling. Boiled chicken breast, softened rice noodles, chopped water chestnut, green onion, a little cabbage and ground peanuts, with peanut sauce (peanut butter...

    WooHoo, I'm only a *day* late this week! Monday: We had friends over for dinner. What a blessing to have a meal with good friends! We had stuffed mushrooms, grilled chicken, grilled new potatoes and peppers, garlic green beans, and lemon fruit tart. Boil the potatoes in advance until just done. Put the chicken in a zip lock bag, and the potatoes and peppers...
  12. RissaRoo
    Are you talking about rice flour tortillas, or the rice paper sort of Asian rice wraps? I've got ideas for both...

    I am so happy, finally I found a recipe my boy will eat! He has GERD and food allergies, so it's very hard to find a snack that he'll eat. I'm trying to fatten him up...he ate these all day long *without* me having to bug him to go eat something! Whoopie! These were easy to make and have tons of possibilities! Our first batch had dates, nuts, dried...

    Someone asked about where to get gluten/soy/dairy free margarine. Here's a link Open Original Shared Link allergygrocer.com has a lot of ideas for products!
  15. RissaRoo
    LOL thanks! Hey, you could make the tart in a pie pan if you wanted to, I don't think there would be any difference. Or better yet if you have a spring form pan (like for a cheese cake) you could bake the shell in that, and then take it out and decorate it. Yeah, that's my boy....he looks like such a wild man in that photo! Coke is terrible for acid...

    Allergen Free Lemon Tart I made these tarts for a birthday party for me and my sister-in-law, and they turned out great! No gluten, soy, egg, dairy or nuts. Lots of fresh fruit and tart-sweet lemon makes it a great summer treat. I served it with fresh whipped cream, for those who could have it. I made this up entirely from scratch, so it may need a little...

    Here's the polenta pie recipe: 1/2 cup cornmeal 2 cups water 1/4 tsp. ssalt 1 egg, slightly beaten Mix the cornmeal and water, heat to boiling, reduce heat and cook for 6 minutes, stirring frequently until mixture is very thick. Remove from heat. Stir in beaten egg, let stand 5 minutes. Spread into a pie plate and bake for 15 minutes, then put...

    This Week's Gluten Free Menu (Finally!) Sorry to take so long, here it is! Monday: Big green salad with grilled chicken strips, dark red kidney beans, goat cheese, cucumber, olives, red onion, and carrots with homemade vinaigrette dressing (olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic, a little ground mustard). I'll grill extra chicken (with different seasoning...

    Hmmm, I can see where that might happen....would the maple syrup maybe work instead? Or you could add honey (maybe more honey than the corn syrup)? Another option would be to add some xanthan gum, which would help the chewy factor. I'll have to try them w/out the corn syrup and see! Or if anyone else does, let us know how it goes
  20. RissaRoo
    Thanks, guys! Ridgewalker...yeah, I don't keep corn syrup around either (in fact I try to avoid it!). The recipe doesn't call for much at all, so I think it's safe to just leave it out. The other thought I had was to substitute maple syrup...maybe add a touch more than it calls for in the recipe. I think it would give them a nice flavor, too. Let me...

    Hi! I've been out of town for a week (sorry no gluten free menu last week...I'm getting one together for next week though!). We had a great time, although being out of my own kitchen meant getting glutened all over the place...it reminded me how hard it was to cut gluten out in the first place (crumbs in the mayo, butter, peanut butter...you know the drill...
  22. RissaRoo
    Yup, they're Kinnikinnik! They are sooo good, they taste just like Oreos and look exactly like them too! My son loves this cake, too. It's really fun and it goes over well with other (non celiac) kids, it doesn't matter that it's gluten free!
  23. RissaRoo
    Hi! Here's the recipe, if you want the template for the top let me know and I'll send a link to you. I have photos, but I am on vacation (Yea!) and am using my laptop so I'm not sure if I can figure out how to post them here. Again, if you want them let me know and I can send you a link, when I get home I'll figure out how to put a photo in a post. ...

    Thanks, Puddy! I just noticed...I copied this from my blog and the links did not come through. Let me try the gluten-free links again: Open Original Shared LinkWendy's Open Original Shared Link Open Original Shared Link Anyway, if that works this time you can follow those links and download and print the gluten-free menus.

    Friday, June 27, 2008 This Week's Gluten Free Menu (with links to gluten free dining out ) Here I am again...has it already been a week?!? Amazing how time flies. Saturday: Mexican Casserole. Layer corn tortillas in the bottom of a baking dish. Add a layer of refried beans (I mix about 1/2 cup salsa into one can of beans to make them taste better and...
