    Oh that is great news (that your husband liked them) It is always scary making gluten free food for gluten eaters b/c they aren't use to the different tastes in some things. I remember when I first tried g.f. pretzels in the beginning I didn't care for them but now I really like them. Thanks for the reply about the starches I appreciate it as well...

    Thank you so much for the replies I have only tried all corn starch or all potato starch so I think I will try half and half and see how that turns out. What do you do when the recipe already calls for either corn starch or potato starch --Can you still sub with more of that starch? Thanks I am wanting to try this recipe this weekend -- I would like...

    Yummm this recipe sounds really good!! jerseyangel --- I am still getting use to changing out the tapioca flour -- Most of the time I just avoid recipes with tapioca in them b/c I am still iffy about substituting. I read/heard that you can sub straight amounts with arrowroot. Do you find that using cornstarch/potato starch mixture turns...

    In our household it is my husband, me and two dogs. My husband takes care of the dog food. Since it is just the two of us it is easier for us to have a gluten/gluten free household. We each have our own counter so he makes his gluten things on his counter. We have our own toasters. He does have his own cookie sheet and 2 pans (for soups). Majority...

    SGWhiskers -- I hope you feel better soon. The beginning (first couple of months) are the worst. My new doctor (we moved last year) did some vitamin testing on me and I was really low on my B12... started to take those vitamines and watch what type of food I was taking in (healthy not healthy) and started to get some more engery. I am still not at...

    I take Nature Made and Spring Valley Vitamines I was looking at the two that ShayFL posted and both websites say gluten free. Country Life says at the bottom of their website: Country Life Vitamins

    It is more "your" choice. Some people react to very very small traces of gluten where they will not eat anything that is made on the same lines/plant as wheat products. Some people will still eat these items. Some companies they clean the lines really good (where you don't have problems and some companies still clean the lines but some people tend to...

    WOW THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE REPLIES Little overwhelmed but very excited to print this off and try some of them out. There are soooo many really good ideas Silly Questions.... If I am going to freeze Taco Meat, Meatloaf, pretty much anything with ground beef *You cook it and let it cool then freeze right? Or are you making it and not cooking...

    Thank you Purple for your reply, I always appreciate your input I think I will test the applesauce out in a breakfast muffin recipe I have. I buy the 6 pack of Mott's Natural Applesauce so luckily I don't have to go to the store for that. How did you learn all of this stuff?? Certain Cook book in particular or trial and error? Thanks again!

    WOW I never thought of using Mash Potatoes with either one.... Do you make your own or do the mash out of a box/bag??? So the layer you would normally do cheese you just slap on the mash potatoe? I LOVE potatoes so I will have to try this sometime soon =) Thanks Thank you for the link and recipe

    Hi. I have been baking a lot of breakfast type meals for a while now and make of course dinner/lunches for that day. I was wanting to try to make some easy meals to start out with and freeze them. I am not a big soup person or chicken but was wondering if anyone has any pointers or suggestions for freezing meals and what some easier ones are to start...

    If I were to sub with applesauce is there a rule of thumb on what the ratio is... Like say it calls for 1/3 cup sugar then would I sub equal amount of applesauce? Thanks

    QUESTION 1: I am thinking about cutting out dairy for a little while. I get Pacific Almond Milk for my breakfast. But I am using Fat Free Milk for my cooking/baking. I tried to use the Vanilla Almond Milk with a bread mix one time and it turned out strange so I don't cook/bake with it anymore (weird texture compared to previous loaves). Maybe...

    I have what I believe is a "celiac belly" so I am going to try to cut sugar out for a while to see if anything improves. I can't do anything about natural surgar in fruits but I want to try to cut back on my sugar intake (with what I can). When I make breakfast muffins and some other things that call for sugar... *What can I sub in place of the...

    There is the Amy's brand Frozen Meals. Just a warning though some people are fine with them and some aren't. Be carefull they have some that are not gluten free -- They will label the box Gluten Free if it is. The enchilada ones are really good but I always reacted to them even their canned Chili. You can look at the Lean Cuisine website they will...

    I sort of thought what if I sprinkle it on the dough but then I didn't know how it was going to turn out (with it not being mixed in the dough)...I was making them so I could use one for lunch the next day. I am planning on making some stuff this weekend so I will definately use some Flaxseed. Thank you again for suggesting what to put the Flax in and...

    Thank you for the replies. WOW you can add it to a lot of stuff... very surprised. I am so happy that everyone here is so helpful with so many things. It is one thing trying to research on the web how to use these different ingredients but another thing when you get to read how people use the ingredient in their everyday baking. I was going...

    Right now the two main cook books I have been using a lot are: *The Gluten Free Kitchen by Roben Ryberg (Main ingredients are Potato Starch, Corn Starch, Baking Soda and Baking Powder then couple normal ingredients) It is a really easy cookbook. About 264 pages (recipes start on pg 14) *Inreditble Edible Gluten Free Food for Kids by Sheri L....

    Thank you for both of your replies I appreciate the information you have. I have never heard of this brand before and wasn't really thinking about gluten free when my dr was talking... so much being said during my appt I didn't think about it being gluten free till later at night. My dr was mentioning that I might possibly have endometriosis. He...

    Thank you everyone for the replies. I saved the website... thanks. I am looking forward to trying out the Flaxseed in recipes etc. Just to double check... If I am going to add Flax to something it would just be another ingredient right? It wouldn't be taking place of another ingredient or I wouldn't have to add more liquid to the recipe?? Thanks...
  22. GlutenGalAZ
    Thank you very much. I will look at the website when I get home (on break right now at work). I have been looking at the unopen bag wanting to try it but wasn't sure how -- ha scared of a flaxseed bag hehe. Does it change the taste at all or much in the recipies?? Thanks!

    Hi. I am currently taking Ortho Tri Cyclen for the past 7 years. Recently I have been having breakthrough bleeding with some other problems and my gyno wants me to change birth controll pills (sorry for the info). He is wanting me to change over to Lo Estrin 24 Fe (brand name not generic one). *Has anyone tried this pill? *Is it Glute Free...

    I bought some Bob's Red Mill Flaxseed Meal the other week to use as an egg substitute. I was just wondering if anyone could give me some pointers on how to use it? How do you sub one egg with it? Can you sub any type of egg recipe with it or only certain types? If you aren't using it as a egg sub then how would you know how much you can...
