    Yes, I was there. I was on the end of the table. I have brown, below the shoulder hair. I had a brown sweater and an olive green shirt. I was a little late and sat next to the new lady in pink.

    Hi, I live in Cary and have been gluten free for at least 3 months. My husband has a gluten intolerance and I highly suspect I do as well. I have no proof, except I feel a lot better! I do have 2 genes for celiac/gluten intolerance. I also have a sister who diagnosed herself with Celiac. We both had the enterolab test. The results were very surprising...

    I saw this granola at TJ's and was wondering if it was worth the expense. Is this granola that you would use as cold cereal or would it be better for snacking on. It's probably a silly question and good for both!

    My daughter gave me this Armani parfum for Mother's Day yesterday. It felt funny telling her I couldn't open it until I found out if the parfum was derived from gluten or not. I felt pressured to open it and spray some on me. I'm sure this is an expensive fragrance and I don't think she can get her money back as it came with something else that she took...

    Before, I used to not care about eating. When I initially went gluten free, at first, I was very hungry. I'd eat 3 eggs with a bunch of rice, mushrooms and onions for breakfast. When I was done, I was still sort of hungry. I'm only 5'2" and about 102 lbs. I figured that I needed the nutrients that I wasn't able to get before, perhaps. Now I don't get all...

    That's really helpful. Thanks!! Now to buy some of those grains in bulk. I found some sweet brown rice at whole foods and grind that as well as short grain. I hear the short rice makes for better flour than long grain.

    When I set the dial all the way to the far left (on "F" in finer), it takes an exceedingly long time to mill (sometimes 15 minutes for 1 cup but it varied a lot)and gets very hot. when I set it between the "R" in finer and the "C" in coarser, it took 2-3 minutes, depending on the grain, with very little difference in texture. I like it best set just beyond...

    I've been grinding rice and sorghum in my Nutrimill but I hesitated trying teff in it as the manual doesn't say it will grind that. I was looking ito buying a coffee mill of some kind to do seeds. How do you find it grinds teff? Isn't teff too oily or too small for the Nutrimill? Does it clog up or anything? I was thinking it might work grinding teff along...

    I haven't tried these yet but want to do so, soon. I've heard so many people rave about these. Delicious!!!

    I did a search and found these recipes for quesadilla salvadorena. I don't know if any are the same recipe that Juliet has. Open Original Shared Link Open Original Shared Link

    I made a flourless chocolate cake today instead of the recipe but I think I will try the one that I posted soon. I think I might try a combination of the Featherlight mix and almond flour. It probably doesn't much matter. If anyone does try out the recipe, please post it and how you did it. Thanks for all your comments!
  12. nikken007
    Would it need to be finer than almond meal or is that the same thing? I would think the meal would leave specks in it. Coconut flour sounds nice but I'd have to go buy some. I need to make something chocolaty really soon for an event. Do you think it would really need xanthan gum? If so, I wouldn't think it would need very much.

    It is 1/3 cup flour. Those instructions are kind of confusing! Here is a better link Open Original Shared Link

    I have a chocolate cake recipe from my newspaper and was wondering what to substitute the flour with. It only calls for 1/3 cup of flour. Do I need to add a starch for such a small amount? Here is a link that I found on the internet: Open Original Shared Link What would you use? Also, I don't use alcohol. Would it be okay to leave out the cognac...

    Here's another update. Success!!! I made the bread again the other day and it's the best yet. It didn't sink much. I didn't double the yeast (for 2 loaves) and I let it rise in the oven on the warm setting (probably close to 150 or 125 degrees). I decided it needed to rise slower as it was doughy in places. I also went back to using the original amount...

    I bought some club soda to use in bread but I have yet to do so. Does it leave any kind of carbonated flavor? Can you use it in any recipe such as cake? Do you substitute for the full amount of liquid or just part of it?

    I replied to a couple of posts but they didn't show up and I didn't have time to write all that out again. I made 2 more loaves Saturday night and they turned out much better. I used a little more liquid because it looked too dry. When I put them in the oven to rise (I kept oiled plastic wrap on top), I turned down the heat from 200 degrees to "warm...

    I made flax seed bread yesterday ("Gluten-Free Mulitgrain Miracle Bread" from recipezaar.com) and it rose a lot more than it usually does for me! I did a few things differently and I'm wondering what may have been the main factor. I doubled the recipe for two loaves. I use an Electrolux DLX Assistant mixer and in the past I have used the metal bowl with...

    Don't probiotics come from dairy? I just picked some up yesterday and started taking them, myself. I would think that if probiotics do have dairy in them and you don't do well on dairy, that these probiotics would be a problem for you. Then again, I don't know a whole lot about probiotics. I don't know how long you have been gluten-free, but you might...

    Yes, I can see how it would be good as bread crumbs on chicken. That's a lot of bread crumbs! My one years supply!! Thanks

    I made 2 loaves of bread today and when I took a bite, I realized that I must have doubled the salt by mistake! It was very salty! I made up a mix a while ago and didn't think I had added the salt back then. How would you use this bread? Any ideas? It's too salty for sandwiches or eating by itself. I suppost it might make decent crutons, but I doubt...

    By "fissures", do you mean tears? Mine tears as it rises. Perhaps I am not adding enough xanthan gum. 3 tsp. for a 9 by 5 pan. Does that seem enough?

    I don't understand #2. Is that a warm pizza stone from the oven or just a cold one? Also, how long do you wait for it to cool before taking it out of the pan?
