    Earth Balance is coming out with a new shortening called Coconut Spread Open Original Shared Link

    I like it about 75

    It's hot here, too...a balmy 97

    love2travel, I do the same things although I usually use the yeast the author specifies. It's still a crap-shoot. But the breads I make now are usually edible. So I guess that's the progress I've made in the past year. LOL

    Glad to know it tastes good!!! I've been diddling around with a lot of recipes, too. I do have that cookbook (The Gluten-Free Gourmet Bakes Bread) but haven't tried any of the recipes yet. It seems everything in gluten-free baking is trial and error. Also we have to remember the effect of humidity, how warm the house is (or not), your oven...so many variable...

    I've been wanting to try that recipe but haven't yet. I have, however, baked a few loaves of bread that have either collapsed or were bricks. The first thing that comes to mind is too much liquid...even though you used what the recipe called for. Or did you allow it to rise above the top of the pan? I had a problem with one of Jules Shepard's recipes...

    I never get around to eating a "proper" breakfast early...whatever that is. I'd rather have toast and then brunch around 10:30 or 11 a.m., which I'll probably do tomorrow as I have an appt. shortly after noon. So then it'll probably be bacon and eggs or Jimmy D's Skillets (I really like the sausage variety best). And it is gluten-free.

    I can relate...I like the Chardonnay best! :lol:

    My daughter chewed ice constantly and she is anemic, too (as well as diagnosed with celiac in late Aug.) Next time I talk with her, I'll have to ask if she still does. ETA: She's also hypo-thyroid but I don't think that has anything to do with the ice chewing.

    It looks delicious! I had an egg salad sandwich and potato chips (Lay's Stax). Too tired to do anything else. (Oh, and 2 glasses of Chardonnay. Yum!)

    Sounds pretty exciting to me. I worked out in the yard and have yet to give dinner a thought. Of course, I don't have to come up with dinner for a family of 7 either.

    You could not pay me enough to test the waters. It's just not worth it to me. Nothing beats feeling well so I have no desire to see how I would react.

    I'd say you have it. Gastritis, which is inflammation, also showed up when I had my endo/biopsy so I don't think it's all that uncommon. False negatives on either the blood test or biopsy are not that uncommon. You don't need a doctor's permission to go gluten-free. Based on your positive response when you eliminated gluten from your diet is enough...

    You're only five weeks into the diet...I'd just keep doing what you're doing! A lot of us are lactose intolerant right away so since you've just taken that out, I'd give it more time and then see if you improve even more. After I'd been gluten-free for about nine months, I started to eat more hard cheeses. I still buy Lactaid milk as I don't know how much...

    I don't buy any special brand...but I do pick them over and wash them well before cooking. I think the last bag I bought was from Food Lion.

    I'm sitting here eating two pieces of cinnamon toast...need to get out and work in the yard before it gets too hot.

    I use gluten-free bread crumbs. I bake enough bread that sometimes it's only good for crumbs. So I never have a shortage.

    It gives us something creative to do in our spare time! :lol:

    You can always dream, can't cha? :lol:

    Actually in Free For All Cooking she lists a lot of substitutions for her all-purpose flour. Other flour could definitely be substituted for corn flour. Her basic flour blend there doesn't resemble the "Nearly Normal Flour" mix, which I think is what she came up with when she started selling her 5-lb bags of flour...it's based on the flour mix she used...

    Have you made English muffins yet?

    Doesn't cooking kill E. Coli? I'd certainly avoid raw veggies (like salads).

    I just got out my cookbook. I haven't made these cookies but I see she does have a note that if you want a more cakelike cookie to use 2 eggs. I also saw the note about using shortening instead of butter.

    I brought one with me to my son's on Memorial Day. It had been in my freezer (wrapped well) and it definitely was not as good as on day one, so yes, I thought it was dry. But that's true for so many gluten-free things. You mean you got English muffin rings? I bought some last fall...but haven't used them yet. Another thing you can use for buns...

    I've not yet bought masa harina (but will try it). The corn flour I have is BRM. And it is a fine flour, not corn starch. Definitely not cornmeal, which is coarse.
