    I did a rough cost analysis for the ingredients of my homemade recipe and my estimate was that my price per loaf for ingredients was $4.

    I've noticed that since going gluten free, I have a much more survivalistic attitude about eating. I view eating basically as a necessary life activity and often find that I do so a bit mechanically and methodically. I wonder if some of that stems from having to say no to so many foods and often having to eat very simple foods to avoid being glutened...

    Fun! We actually already have sledded this year, but the snow melted, so I'm looking forward to another snow so that I can take the kids out again.

    That's fantastic! Congratulations on your new job!

    Yeah, it's hard when you don't have something in your area.

    Gotcha! I guess that I have to read the fine print a little better. I'm not too worried about the calories for an occasional fun treat though, but it's good to know what they actually are. It's not too surprising that they are high, considering the amount of fats in it (almonds, coconut butter, coconut oil).

    Mine was only 170 calories, if I remember right. I wonder if this one that I linked to was a slightly different one from the same company....

    I agree, shipping them would be way too expensive! They are less than $5 each at my health food store, so that's not a bad price for a special dessert once in awhile....

    I was prepping for a holiday party and was looking for something fun to take for dessert when I found these little gems at the health food store. I tried one right away and they are delicious! Super creamy and rich! The crust is made with almond flour and the filling has stuff like coconut butter and agave nectar, so there's no dairy and no grains. They...

    You're not alone. I'm going on 5 years of being gluten free without a DX. I've gotten to the point where I really don't care what the label is, I just know that being gluten free is the only way for me to be a healthy symptom free functioning member of society. LOL! I would never even seriously consider a gluten challenge of any length--with the severity...

    Oh okay. In that case, you should probably contact the company and find out. I had no idea that they could put grains in it and still call it grain free! It does make sense that it would make a difference as to what type of animal you have, how hands on you are with them, and where they mostly reside. Our only furry animal is a cat and he mostly lives...

    If it is grain free, then it is gluten free. (although it could be processed on the same line as gluten containing dog food) But personally I wouldn't be worried about shared line grain free pet food, since I'm not eating it anyway.

    That is weird. I really don't want sugar in my flour mix. I think that I might just mix my own.
  14. BlessedMommy
    Anybody tried these? What's your opinion on them? I currently have Pamela's Artisan flour mix, but am trying to phase it out and find something without rice. Open Original Shared Link

    Quinoa, amaranth, wild rice, and buckwheat aren't grains. Is including them in your diet for more variety an option for you?
  16. BlessedMommy
    Thanks for the recommendations. I picked up a Thermos brand 24 oz food jar. It's supposed to be able to keep food hot for 9 hours or cold for 12 hours. I'm looking forward to trying it!
  17. BlessedMommy
    Sounds good kareng! Do you have a recipe for the millet rolls?
  18. BlessedMommy
    Does the doctor have any evidence that cutting out grains and beans will help you to heal?
  19. BlessedMommy
    I'm in search of a good thermos. Something that is reliable, well made, and keeps food warm for several hours. Any recommendations?
  20. BlessedMommy
    Exactly! If all else fails, you can order the bloodwork from a private lab if your doctor won't accommodate you.

    My MIL passed away this year, so nearly all of the Thanksgiving dinner will be gluten free, because I will be cooking most of it and bringing it over. There will be a pumpkin swirl cheesecake and a vegetarian dinner roast for the gluten eaters. I'm bringing a homemade pumpkin pie, cranberry sauce, stuffing, mashed potatoes, and homemade pot pies over. FIL...

    I've been gluten free for almost 5 years, so it's been a long time since I've had regular pie crust! These are great though!
  23. BlessedMommy
    I picked up some today and they were great! So nice to have a premade option for those busy times. I made a blueberry pie with one today and I'm thinking that I'll make some pumpkin pies or savory pot pies with them next.

    How nice to have a blender now! That type of blender should be sufficient for nut milks and fruit smoothies. I make nut butters in my Vitamix, which is 1380 watts. When I owned an Oster, which is 500 watts, I wasn't able to make any nut butters in it.

    Oh, and if you're wanting to continue eating whole rice from time to time, white basmati rice from India is one of the safest rice varieties. (very low arsenic level) I buy mine in 20 lb bags from Sam's Club for just over $1 per pound.
