Sorry, but I just got Open Original Shared Link French Fries: Potatoes, vegetable oil (canola oil, hydrogenated soybean oil, natural beef flavor [wheat and milk derivatives]*, citric acid [preservative]), dextrose, sodium acid pyrophosphate (maintain color), salt. Prepared in vegetable oil (Canola oil, corn oil, soybean oil, hydrogenated soybean oil...

Okay, similar to the pork chop thread, what do y'all do given a pound or so of frozen chicken breasts and a basics-supplied pantry? My favorite [which I haven't done in years, but I may have to soon, now that I'm thinking about it] is to do a simple sear on both sides, get them to 165 degrees, sprinkle on some fresh shredded parma or asiago and drizzle...

What to do with pork chops: 1. If you have chops that are thin to medium thin [1/2 to 3/4 inches thick] you'll want to get as much of the silverskin off as possible. Silverskin is the layer of fat around the outside of the chop. Leave a very thin layer for flavor and make perpendicular cuts through the remaining fat down to the actual meat, repeating...

Going to Branson in a couple of days. The kids want to see Dixie Stampede, but knowing that they use the communist-horde-server system how does one go about checking for gluten-free and CC? They have vegetarian tickets, so should I ask when we make reservations or wait until I can talk to an actual server?

McD's you can have ice cream without nuts, drinks, yogurt parfaits, hamburger patties, and eggs and sausage a la carte. And that is IF they understand about CC. Forget the fries, the frying oil is not gluten-free. Burger King, though, is actually quite flexible. They will do any sandwich as a "low carb" item in a bowl. My daughter calls it a hamburger...

Subway salads are iffy because of how their serving line is set up-- always bread first, and the Sandwich Artists have been touching bread, spreading crumbs, and reaching into the veggie bins with the same gloves for every customer in front of you. About the only way that you can ensure clean food is if they get out entirely new bins of every veg. that you...

In small amounts for thickening, I've found that corn starch substitutes pretty much 1:1 for wheat flour. For me, that's the easiest thing because it's readily available in the general grocery section. It's also already pretty much the thickener of choice in many Asian dishes. Some caveats [copied and pasted from ChefTalk.com forum, dated 12/8/05]: ...

So I made cheese dip for tomorrow's bowl games. Needless to say, it isn't going to make it that long [actually, it's been 30 minutes and it's already pretty much gone]. What are you making for your parties/thingies this season? Some things to remember: 1. Check pre-made cheese dips for ingredients/thickeners. 2. McCormick's taco seasoning, last...

Just make sure it really is a food processor. I burned out two blenders on hummus, and a basic [at minimum] FP is the only thing that gives the mixture a chance to move around the mixing zone.

This is easy. 1 T. butter 1 1/2 T. [that's 4 1/2 tsp.] cornstarch 1 c. plus 2 T. milk 2 T. tomato sauce. melt the butter over medium heat. When it begins to foam, add cornstarch and blend well to form a thin paste. Let cook 30-60 seconds (this should be rather foamy). Drizzle in the milk while whisking. Heat until thickened [do NOT let this boil...

We tried AFN in November, through our church. Some of the items were a no-go, but still wound up getting passed on to my in-laws or to a food pantry. The Allergy-Free box was good, not great. I liked the chicken nuggets and the chicken burgers, but the steak fingers were mediocre and the bone in chicken wings were somewhat nasty [and there were only six...

I'm the main shopper in my family and I share the kitchen with my non-gluten-free family [my wife and two kids, ages 4 and 5]. I do a lot of cooking, too, and lately I've been trying to trim my grocery costs as a way to reduce spending overall. Here's my main rules: 1. Avoid little money wasters. Mostly this means little to no drive-thru's, no more...

One of the independent pizza places near here [Lake Hamilton school district, west of Hot Springs] has said they would start stocking frozen gluten-free crusts from the local HF store. I haven't been back in a couple of weeks, so I don't know if they are actually following through or not. Where is U.S. Pizza, Latteda? Is it in LR, or the surrounding...

The health food store I shop at has the flours away from most other things, but it really depends. The yogurt covered raisins and the like are on one wall and most of the flours are kiddiewhumpus on the next wall, or around the wall in the next room. The dried fruit is okay, as is the sea salt and the quinoa. I won't touch the teff or the buckwheat because...

My dd, age four, just finished three days of allergy testing. She came up postive allergic to wheat, milk, barley malt, potatoes, tomatoes, pollens, soy, and chocolate. So apparently we will have another special diet in the house. So the question is, should she basically go Gluten-free Casein-free? Wheat and milk were essentially her strong reactions...
