ARCHIVED Food Stamps
sa1937 replied to OptimisticMom42's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I've bought Heartland gluten-free pasta at Wal-Mart for $1.98 for 12 oz. Three different varieties available. I realize it's far more expensive that regular pasta but might work for an occasional pasta dinner. Also I've bought Sam Mills gluten-free pasta at a local Mennonite-type shop for $1.98 a lb. I've also read that people have occasionally found... -
ARCHIVED Betty Crocker Gluten Free Mixes
sa1937 replied to jerseyangel's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I suspect my local Food Lion store closed them out because they weren't selling. Heck, they really don't carry any specialty gluten-free foods. I figured maybe it was because I live in small town, USA and sales just didn't support stocking them. Everything revolves around the almighty dollar. Right now they only carry the brownie mix and don't even have... -
ARCHIVED Comet Cleaner
sa1937 replied to plumbago's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I use Comet and a ScotchBrite pad on my Calphalon cookware but I also wash them with Dawn before putting them away. I think Comet (at least the kind I have) is too abrasive to use on countertops or stainless steel sinks. I always use cutting boards and don't prepare food directly on my countertops. For my stainless steel sink I like CLR (got it at either... -
ARCHIVED Parchment Paper Ok
sa1937 replied to fakename's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Parchment paper is my friend. I use it all the time when I bake cookies and my cookie sheets aren't even old. It also works to line the bottom of a layer cake pan to help the cake release more easily. -
ARCHIVED Betty Crocker Gluten Free Mixes
sa1937 replied to jerseyangel's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Yup...I just checked the box of devil's food that I have in my pantry and it definitely has soy flour listed in the ingredients. -
ARCHIVED Gluten Free Toothpaste
sa1937 replied to theemurman1's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I use Colgate all the time. Where did you find this information? -
ARCHIVED What Is The *purpose* Of Adding Flour To Everything?
sa1937 replied to Monklady123's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I've asked myself that question many times. Sheesh, I don't need to use wheat in my chicken broth or soups or a lot of other things I make from scratch that have always been gluten-free. Just think of all the customers they could gain by figuring out how to make their product without wheat. *Like a lot of us* -
Wow! These sound good and I've just printed out the recipe.

ARCHIVED Coffee Creamer
sa1937 replied to windee's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Will do...I'd love to get ahold of the half-and-half for my quiche. Thanks! -
ARCHIVED Omaha Steaks
sa1937 replied to Guhlia's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
What do the labels on the products indicate? I think that would be your most accurate source of info. (also, this is a rather old thread from 2007) -
ARCHIVED Coffee Creamer
sa1937 replied to windee's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Hmmm...now you have me wondering if I'm thinking of a different product. I did do a search on the Lactaid website and came up with no whole milk or half-and-half within a 20 mile radius of where I live. -
Have you checked this website? Open Original Shared Link They have a lot of recipes ranging from appetizers to desserts, etc. For Christmas Eve I plan to try Open Original Shared Link I've never made them before but they look good. And we always have tons of food so there is something for everyone.

The What's For Dinner Tonight Chat

Tonight - leftover roast beef, a baked potato and broccoli. Not bad for a quick fix. lol -
ARCHIVED Coffee Creamer
sa1937 replied to windee's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I googled it and apparently the Lactaid whole milk is only available in the New England states (I'm in Pennsylvania). I'll check the store brands. Thanks for the suggestion! -
ARCHIVED Made Some Fabulous Banana Bread!
sa1937 replied to Monklady123's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
It was my first gluten-free cookbook, too. And I still like it. -
The What's For Dinner Tonight Chat
sa1937 replied to jess-gf's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
I haven't tried popcorn (my absolute favorite snack food) for about six months...the last time I had it, I liked it but it didn't like me. But I'd only been gluten-free for a couple of months then. I used to occasionally have a bowl of cereal for dinner...not often but hey, it was food and it was real. When I got home yesterday, I was absolutely... -
ARCHIVED Made Some Fabulous Banana Bread!
sa1937 replied to Monklady123's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Actually of the two cookbooks of hers that I do have, The Gluten Free Kitchen is my favorite. And gluten-free baking remains my biggest challenge (especially bread). Her other cookbook has a lot more recipes but I've been cooking forever so don't really need that type of book. And baking with single flours remains a mystery to me and contrary to everything... -
The What's For Dinner Tonight Chat
sa1937 replied to jess-gf's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Bacon...YUM! Sounds good to me. For two days I've been running around like a crazy woman with appointments and errands. And it's been unusually cold with 30 mph winds. Came home feeling like a popsicle! After getting off to a good start earlier in the week with a chicken stir-fry/rice and pot roast, last night I actually had peanut butter on a Lundberg... -
ARCHIVED Made Some Fabulous Banana Bread!
sa1937 replied to Monklady123's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
I have this cookbook, too, but have not yet made the banana bread. I'll have to try it and see how it compares with the one I make using Pamela's Baking & Pancake Mix, which I absolutely love. I did make the pumpkin bread and it was good but not as good as Pamela's...more "bread-like" than "cake-like". Totally edible but not my favorite. BTW, if you... -
ARCHIVED Pancake Mix...failed, Twice.
sa1937 replied to Swimmr's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
I may have added a bit more milk as the batter really thickens up but other than that, I make it according to package directions. I didn't notice a potato taste. -
ARCHIVED Pancake Mix...failed, Twice.
sa1937 replied to Swimmr's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Pamela's is $6.29 for a 24 oz. bag at Giant so I did the subscribe-and-save at "the company that spammed the forum" and six bags were $25.89 in Oct., which brought it down to $4.31 a bag with free shipping. Surprisingly I've never made pancakes from it but use it for quick breads, muffins, etc. It's probably my favorite product. I like gluten-free Bisquick... -
Thanks for the review! I just added this book to my Amazon wish list (as if I need another gluten-free cookbook). Let us know what other awesome things you bake from recipes in this book.

ARCHIVED Coffee Creamer
sa1937 replied to windee's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Actually this sounds like the best and easiest solution...perhaps using half whipping cream and half Lactaid milk. I can also have butter so obviously do not have a problem with casein. I didn't realize cream was low in lactose. I did use unsweetened coconut milk in a pumpkin recipe for Thanksgiving, which worked fine, but am leary of using it in a quiche... -
ARCHIVED Coffee Creamer
sa1937 replied to windee's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I'm looking for something that would enrich my 2% Lactaid milk to use in recipes where I would have previously used either evaporated milk or half-and-half. I drink black coffee so have never used Coffee Mate so know nothing about it. Any suggestions? -
ARCHIVED Found A Fantastic Gluten Free Baking Book
sa1937 replied to lilbit's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Another update - Disappointment! I had such high hopes for this bread. The first day it was tasty and made a good sandwich. Then I froze two slices per sandwich bag and had another blah sandwich yesterday. These gluten-free breads are always such a problem for me. Boo hoo! I bet anything that it would make a really good grilled cheese sandwich or...
