    Congrats, Allison! The bread sounds wonderful as I just love whole grain breads and would love to have the recipe. Do you have the large Zo, which makes a 2-lb. loaf, or the smaller one that makes a 1-lb loaf? I have yet to make my first loaf of bread so when I do, I hope I'm as successful as you are. Does she also give directions for making it...

    Well, eatGF, Scanton is just a wee bit too far to go for Katz breads. I'm actually just a stone's throw from Hagerstown, MD. Are their breads available elsewhere? I'll watch for that brand in the stores where I shop. No need to feel sorry for me! I had eggs for breakfast along with two slices of Flax Seeded Bread from The Grainless Baker!!! Yum...

    Allison, I use the ratio of 1 cup quinoa to 2 cups of water. Actually I made half a batch as I live alone and didn't think I'd want to eat the quinoa/veggie stir-fry for the next week. Plus it was my first experience making anything with quinoa. I know it's supposed to be super nutritious. I want to experiment with lots of other grains, too. I...

    I made this tonight and really enjoyed it. I'm new to quinoa and found I like it, very bland and easy to incorporate all sorts of flavors. I used Ancient Harvest (pre-washed, no rinsing needed). Expensive yes, but nice for a change of pace. I didn't realize that quinoa could be cooked in a rice cooker, which made it so easy. Lots of different veggies...

    Black Sheep, I only have one gluten free baking cookbook at the moment and every recipe I've seen calls for a blend of different flours, which I'm gradually picking up when I go shopping. I was just referring to the Kinnikinnick English muffins that were soooo good. Not sure what else is in them but I know they contain both white rice and tapioca flours...

    Thanks for the suggestion to use it for stuffing. I bet a truck could run over it and it would remain intact. lol

    If your hubby gets deployed, do you plan to stay within the military community or "go home" wherever that will be? Military wives have a real camaraderie and take care of their own. I experienced that when my then husband went to VietNam and I stayed in Lawton, OK instead of heading home to Minneapolis. I think that made all the difference in the world...

    Campbell's makes me so mad, too!!! I miss the condensed cream soups (especially Cream of Mushroom) as they are used in so many recipes. I've tried Progresso Creamy Mushroom and while I like to eat it a lot, it hasn't worked as well in recipes as I'd like. I emailed them last week inquiring about the Bean with Bacon as I didn't find any offending ingredients...

    Elizabeth Barbone recommends the Zo because it has such a stong powerful motor to handle gluten free breads. On Axxxxx the Zo BBCCX20 is running $215 (it makes a 2 lb. loaf) or the Zo BB-HAC10, which makes a 1-lb loaf, is $190. That's a whole lot of money. Sometimes I wonder if it would be better to just buy a really good KitchenAid stand mixer, which...

    With obesity so rampant, kids today are really getting off to a terrible start in life. I guess I'm fortunate to have grown up in a time that my Mom cooked, had a garden with lots of yummy vegetables, our meats were not hormone-laden, etc. etc. Sit-down family dinners were common. Portions were not humongous. Eating out was a special treat, not a several...

    Are white rice or tapioca breads generally tastier than brown rice? I'm new to these gluten free flours. I found the Kinnikinnick English muffins to be really delicious (I think they're made from tapioca and white rice flours), Unfortunately Giant didn't have the English muffins but they had their bagels although I'm not really a bagel fan. The brown...

    I'm glad to hear that Schar's rice/corn pasta is great. I just picked up a package today.

    Thanks for your reply! I'm glad I'm not the only one who found it to be nasty. I chewed and chewed and chewed and finally forced myself to swallow. lol I can't imagine even using the bread crumbs in meatloaf...like why ruin the meat! I'm also glad it wasn't the first gluten free bread I tried or I'd have probably sworn off bread forever, too.

    Today I ventured into Giant in Chambersburg and bought a loaf of this stuff (they just call it a "loaf", not bread. That should have told me something. Anyway I was starved when I got home and decided to toast a couple of pieces and put butter on them. Yuck! Then added cinnamon and sugar for cinnamon toast. Still yuck!!! My dog didn't mind it...

    I've been watching Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution. I think it's absolutely shocking what schools are providing for school lunches as well as breakfasts for their students. I think the guidelines schools must follow absolutely suck!!! Of course, then there's also the food pyramid guidelines, which are nothing more than a big joke.

    I'd be hesitant to buy any equipment that required me to use only that manufacturer's mixes. I have thought of buying a bread machine, too, but am holding back as I know they are expensive and they really only make one kind of bread (a loaf). Or maybe I would be better off buying a really good KitchenAid stand mixer with a heavy duty motor although...

    Easy Off makes a BBQ Grill Cleaner (similar to oven cleaner) that can be used on the cooking grate thingies. Not to be used on other interior/exterior parts of the grill. I picked up a can at my local Wal-Mart. Personally I don't see why regular oven cleaner wouldn't work either to remove any cooking residue left on the grill.

    I know exactly what "glasses holder thingies" are. lol Actually I do have those on my sunglasses after I dropped them years ago just before going on vacation. Actually I think I'll go to Dollar Tree and get some reading glasses in an even stronger strength than I need. That's to read the tiny black ingredients list printed on a red background. What...

    Thanks! If I can't find any locally, I may have to break down and order some.

    Ah, this recipe brings back fond memories! It must date back to the 60's or early 70's and my kids used to love it. I used to use ground beef (seasoned with salt and pepper), some uncooked frozen mixed veggies and a can of Campbell's cream of mushroom soup. Let it bake for awhile and then uncover and add a layer of Tater Tots on top and bake some more...

    foodiegurl, have you tried these noodles for other things? I'm thinking homemade chicken noodle soup, buttered noodles for a side dish, a spinach-noodle casserole, etc. Do they hold up? One time I made mac and cheese with corn macaroni and it was a gloppy disaster. The last thing I want to do is have to order a case of anything as I live alone and certainly...

    Amy - DelMonte Tomato Paste??? Is there wheat in it and/or what else? Jeez, I never thought I'd have to read the labels of tomato paste! I have tomato paste and tomato sauce on my grocery list. I would think these would be "pure" plain tomato products. Guess I'll need to get another pair of el-cheapo reading glasses with a chain to put on when...

    Thanks for the advice...I need all the advice I can get right now as I've been gluten free for only a week after my endo/biopsy on April 9 (still don't know the result of the biopsy and my GI doc will be out of town so I don't have a follow-up appt. until May 6, which will give me almost a month gluten free before I see him again). Within three days I felt...

    I copped out and fixed only a single serving. I spent hours cleaning out my very gluteny pantry and could barely find my kitchen afterwards. Guess I'll try cooking the whole bag at another time and try to freeze it in single size portions. In the past I have made a yummy spaghetti casserole and froze single-serving portions of it. It might be even easier...

    Tonight I'm going to have some spaghetti using Tinkyada "spaghetti-style" brown rice pasta. Since I live alone, I already have some frozen single serving size containers of spaghetti sauce already prepared. It seems like a lot of work to just cook a single serving of this pasta. Is it possible to cook the whole bag of pasta and then freeze it in single...
