ARCHIVED Better Batter V/s Jules All Purpose Blend
candrews replied to cupcakecreator's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
I've tried better batter and it is much more starchy and lighter than Jules flour--i stick to Jules flour now. I suggest asking their customer service for help with recipes--they can offer great suggestions for fixing any issue recipes. -

ARCHIVED Flour And Bread Mix
candrews replied to bear6954's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
I am dairy-free, soy-free, gluten-free and use Jules Gluten Free flour--it is the best all purpose flour I've tried and can be used 1-1 in your favorite recipes. Jules has a great cookbook too with tons of dairy free versions of her gluten-free recipes. My family orders it online: www.julesglutenfree.com and always has some on hand. (There's a great new... -
ARCHIVED Graham Crackers
candrews replied to Treen Bean's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
My family makes our own graham crackers using Jules Gluten Free graham cracker mix--they turn out GREAT!! Smores were always a huge tradition at our house, so it's great to be able to participate again! Really--I think these are almost better than the gluten version -
This recipe was just posted on celiac.com: https://www.celiac.com/articles/21759/1/Ang...Free/Page1.html I've tried the original version of this recipe (this has an "Irish Twist") and it worked great!

Expandex is in Jules Gluten Free flour and works great for me--my baked goods are lighter and fluffier. Also, they last longer because of Expandex's long shelf life--so I can bake ahead of time for once. (They now offer sample packs very cheaply to test out the product.)

ARCHIVED Bad Recipe Or Bad Cook?
candrews replied to QueenOfPain's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Here's my favorite: https://www.celiac.com/articles/21706/1/Won...Free/Page1.html I never thought I'd eat fluffy white bread again before this! -
ARCHIVED Gluten In Sushi.
candrews replied to OneScrewLoose's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I have also heard that if the wasabi is "fake" than it might contain gluten. Any ideas about that? -
Get tested! I definitely notice an emotional reaction to gluten and have a good friend with ADD and Celiac (impulsive behavior included.) Gluten can cause some pretty extreme reactions and especially with your family history, it's worth checking out.

ARCHIVED Vegan Baking Help - Please! =)
candrews replied to jayhawkmom's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Here's my favorite sugar cookie (can be cut out too!) recipe. It uses Jules' Nearly Normal flour and is the recipe from her cookbook "Nearly Normal Cooking for Gluten Free Eating". I've had great success with it! 1/4 cup shortening 1/4 cup canola oil 2/3 cup granulated cane sugar 2 egg yolks 2 tsp. gluten-free vanilla extract 1 3/4 cup Nearly Normal... -
ARCHIVED Protein Supplement
candrews replied to ssims14's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Hummus is a great staple for me--it's great with veggies or tortilla chips for a filling snack. Also classic rice and black beans is always a favorite too! -
ARCHIVED Better Batter Flour Vs Tom Sawyer Flour
candrews replied to Jenny (AZ via TX)'s topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
I buy Jules' Nearly Normal Flour--I find it works best and is the best deal: 2 10lb bags for $39 that includes an online cookbook with over 200 recipes! Shelf life of baked goods is longer too, because it has expandex as an ingredient. -
ARCHIVED Can Anyone Help My Substitute This Cookie Recipe To Gluten Free
candrews replied to jjdthmpsn's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Jules' Nearly Normal flour is what I use in recipes--no xanthan gum needed. Also, there's no aftertaste and better shelf-life. -
ARCHIVED Banana-spice Cookies
candrews replied to Roda's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Putting cookie dough in the refrigerator definitely improves gluten free cookies! -
ARCHIVED Horrible Experience At Chipotle
candrews replied to pah77's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
The red salsa is a problem at Chipotle?? Thanks for this tip--didn't know that. -
ARCHIVED Help -- Buffet Lunches?
candrews replied to I'm a glutant's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I've had good luck with Vietnamese or Indian--tons of naturally gluten free dishes. -
ARCHIVED Communion Wafers
candrews replied to LovelyLisa's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
You can buy "low gluten" hosts online: Open Original Shared Link I haven't tried it yet, but it's a cool idea. -
I just got back from a semester in Ireland and they have hard cider everywhere--gluten free and delicious! I've found some here in the states, not quite the same but still really good. I like wood chuck and magners

Great Idea!! They're usually fat free -
ARCHIVED Why Do My Cakes Fall?
candrews replied to gfpdx's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
The cake needs to cool down slowly in order to not fall. One way to help it not fall is to turn off the oven and open the door to let it cool slowly. My cake turned out great! (I prefer Jules' Nearly Normal flour rather than other cake mixes I've tried--no aftertaste/better texture) -
ARCHIVED The 1st Year: Celiac Disease & Living Gluten Free
candrews replied to happygirl's topic in Publications & Publicity
Even after 2 years being gluten-free, this book has tons of great information! It really helps with the things that doctors can't tell you--like what to do for the holidays or for eating out at restaurants. There are some great recipes in it too (most are based of her Nearly Normal Flour, which I love)! I gave it to my friend right after she was diagnosed... -
www.glutenfreedrinks.com is great resource

ARCHIVED Celiacs In College
candrews replied to nutbutters's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
I go to University of Notre Dame and they are very accommodating--but you have to know what you want, then ask for that specifically. We have 2 options at ND--we can either have a rotation of meals prepared for us every day at a certain time, or there is a gluten-free room that is stocked with gluten free products upon request and has a gluten-free toaster... -
ARCHIVED Larabar Peanut Butter Cookie Bars Recalled
candrews replied to MaryJones2's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Thanks for this info! I eat that flavor of Larabars all the time. -
ARCHIVED Supplements
candrews replied to Joan Roberts's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Not all supplements are gluten-free, so be careful which you choose! I use GNC brand Calcium and Women's Ultra Mega Supplements and Vitamin D and all are gluten-free. Check the label or with the manufacturer before use to be safe.
