    I'm sitting here eating a grilled club melt courtesy of Udi's as I type. My local health food store just finally got it in. $5.99 a loaf, but it's WORTH it. Very nice. Between this and my beloved Chebe, I've now got "bread" covered I think. I can do pizza, garlic and Parmesan bread sticks, and now, finally I've got a bread that's good for sandwiches! Yay...

    FYI, the acidity of tomatoes changes as you cook them. Raw tomatoes are much less hard on the digestion than cooked tomatoes. Bad news if you have a sensitive stomach and like pasta sauce. Good news? There are lower acid tomatoes out there that you may be able to eat. They're the yellow and orange ones you see sometimes in the veggies section. Just stay away...

    It may have been the Nature's Path cereal you ate. I'm having issues with their frosted corn flakes and their Mesa Sunrise. I looked it up and their cereals are supposedly gluten free but they are made on the same machinery as their gluten cereals. They say they wash the machines and throw out the first part of a no-gluten batch to try to minimize any cross...

    I used to work in a Dunkin when I was in college. I agree strongly with what was posted above. If you are buying it from the store you'll need to check the bag but likely you'd be okay with the plain. (I'd buy that and grab your own flavorings to be safe.) I would not suggest you go to Dunkin and try to order coffee there if you are super sensitive. You...

    I don't necessarily believe in the whole low carb vs low protein vs low fat diet thing. A balance works best for my body. I do find I need a certain amount of carbs and fat to function and while I make it a point not to gorge on either I do include them in my daily diet regime. I eat more fat than the Ornish and Pritikin type diets would suggest. I eat...

    Does anyone know if regular Nacho Cheese Doritos and Chili Cheese Frito's are okay? The hot versions are on this list but I can't find the regular versions for all of them. I hope so. Doritos are a major urge thing for me at period time. Rest of the month I leave them alone but when I'm mega crampy and I need me some salty cheesy crunchies I usually will...

    Well, I gave it up. 4 things of tapioca flour, a bunch of ingredients and several recipes later I can't make anything like a Chebe bread stick or pizza crust and I'm just not into eating bricks! For now I'm going with buying Chebe via Amazon. The cases there are actually slightly less than on the Chebe site and I don't have to pay shipping besides....

    Well, 3 recipes later I still have not been able to recreate that tasty dough! Got one bag and 2 more recipes to try tomorrow night, but if that doesn't work I'm hanging it up and ordering a couple of cases of the Chebe off Amazon! So far all I've gotten for my efforts is a bunch of semi-decent tasting biscuits. I've tried the traditional on the stove first...

    The Chebe Pizza mix, I heartily recommend. I've made it several times now, mini pizza addict here, and it's never let me down yet.

    3 Worst 1. Gluten Free Pantry Bread Mixes. They actually looked great in the oven, but to actually bite into them was like eating cardboard. Complete waste of money. 2. Bob's Mill Pancake mix. The texture isn't too bad, and they are edible with banana, lots of vanilla and blueberries in but the garbanzo bean after taste thing completely kills this...

    Thanks! Those look like they might work. I love the consistency of the Chebe, but the spicing on the pizza and the bread sticks is a bit hard on the stomach apparently. (Onions and garlic can be tough for me to process sometimes.) The regular mix seemed to work better, but if I am just going to go from a straight mix all the time I think I'd much rather try...

    I finally found of tapioca flour locally and I am trying to figure out how to make Chebe style dough from scratch. I want to be able to make bread sticks, turnovers and and pizza crust that I can then season as I want. I love the Chebe mixes, they're very convenient of course, but I'd like to experiment a bit with tapioca flour dough and see what I can come...

    I can understand people who cheat with gluten foods. I've been there with my addictions to chocolate and caffeine. I know I shouldn't eat chocolate or drink coke sometimes, waste my cals on that, but I still do it. There's this switch in my head when it comes to "forbidden" foods. Most of the time I am able to just forget about it, but now and again I get...

    Well, at this point even my doctor has a good case of the gasps that's all I can say. For several years now I've been telling her I had hormonal issues, something that is very typical with all the women in my family. We all blimp out past age 40 for that reason. The thyroid and/or adrenals seemingly go nuts as we age, and it's been that way for every woman...

    I got the idea of trying to make Cornish style pasties when I was looking at the back of the Chebe all-purpose mix yesterday and noticed the calzone/fruit turnovers suggestions. I thought they'd be perfect as a lunch food. Pasties are easy, portable, and will usually keep sans refrigeration okay for several hours so long as you wrap them in foil. (Anything...

    Eating them fresh from the oven as I type. Dipping them in a little spaghetti sauce. RAVE! These are awesome! If the pizza crust turns out half this well I'm in 7th heaven. These taste like real artisan bread sticks. Absolutely the BEST bread thing I've tried since I went on this no gluten diet. My only problem here is sticking 2 bread stick limit I promised...

    My local grocery just got the Schar stuff in including the pizza crusts. A bit dear, I thought, but I really wanted pizza so I went for it and bought the box with the 2 crusts in it for $9.99. I also found some gluten-free pepperoni and I had some mozzarella so I whipped up a little pizza sauce using some fire roasted garlic seasoned crushed tomatoes and...

    I don't usually eat breakfast at breakfast, never have. I actually prefer those types of foods as my last meal of the day. I have breakfast for dinner a lot or cereal as a quick snack. In terms of breakfast foods I eat scrambled eggs, bacon or ham, omelets, gluten-free pancakes, gluten-free cereals. I haven't had french toast yet with gluten-free bread...

    Schar, thanks that was the name I was trying to remember. They just got these at the local market. Bread, pizza crusts, rolls. They're expensive there though. I was sort of debating, decided to try the Chebe mixes first since there is one place here that has them, but those pizza crusts did look interesting.

    I looked at all the Lindt bars today when I was shopping. Every one of them I saw had barley malt on the label. I was very disappointed. I love Lindt. No Godiva either huh? That really sucks.

    I'm making the vanilla cake as I type. Thanks for the peach recipe. I'm going to try that next time I think sans the artificial sweetener. Brown sugar would be good for this too, I think, and I just cannot stand the fake stuff. I'd rather eat less and make it with legit sugar. I've got a great recipe for a pear and date roll. If this cake mix works like...

    My local market has just vastly expanded the gluten free items it carries to the point where in some cases it's actually better than my local health food stores! They have some bread, pizza shells, and rolls from a brand I don't recognize, some Swedish or Danish brand, yellow boxes. I forgot to write it down so I am going to go have to go back and do...

    I hear ya, Chatty. Around here gluten free foods are almost non-existent even in the health food stores and when you do see them the prices inevitably make me put most of the things I'd like to try back on the shelf. $9 for a loaf of bread? $8 for a tiny thing of pancake mix? I just cannot rationalize that. The bread mixes I did try, not so hot, so this...

    I think I killed a mixer trying to make one of the gluten-free Pantry boxes. Wasn't worth it either but I don't want to risk the new mixer. I'm thinking about getting a Sunbeam 5891 breadmaker. I can't afford much else and that one has pretty decent reviews for a cheaper one. Do you all use a bread maker or do you just make it by hand when you bake?

    They don't sell Udi's anywhere here and getting it shipped is just way beyond my budget unfortunately. I wish I could try it, all the raves have me a bit curious, but I checked it out and it just wouldn't be feasible right now. I don't know the other brand, but I'll look for them. They don't have much here but gluten-free pantry and Bob's Mill. Kennekinik...
