  1. I prefer to make my own but when I do buy bread, it is now always Kinnikinnick. Slices are much larger than Udi's, flavour is fine and it passes the spreading-peanut butter-without-toasting test. And only $4.99. Buns are decent but if you can, look for the baguettes.
  2. Very true. We will make the time...
  3. There is technically a wee difference between a spring onion and scallion but they are used interchangeably, sorta like yams and sweet potatoes. In fact, most stores and markets label either way. Going to northern England tonight. I am making Bangers (local plump divine Cumberland sausages) in the oven with a caramelized onion red wine sauce to go with...
  4. Kinnickinnik's new "soft" bread is made so it does not require toasting which is nice. Large slices, too. The buns need no toasting, either. Worth buying if you can find it. It is also lots cheaper at $4.99 CDN. But all others I tried certainly do need toasting, sometimes for 15 minutes! :-)
  5. Thai griled beef lettuce wraps. The marinade is brilliant - lots of tamarind, lime, etc. I made Nuoc Cham and will serve with julienned carrots and vermicelli. The other day I made Caribbean spicy shrimp with pasta. Am loving coking from so many cultures and ethnic groups.
  6. Not really a fan of Udi's, either. My favourites are Kinnickinnik soft bread (far larger slices than Udi's) and Glutino Genius. As Peter said, our toastes vary wildly. However, homemade is always best though it is still a distant second to gluten bread. If you want to make your own, one of the best recipes by our own Simona is posted on here. It is called...
  7. Very little processed stuff in my kitchen. I make about 98% from scratch including jams, jellies, salsas, tomato and other sauces, pesto, vinaigrettes and dressings, mayo, ketchups, mustards, breads, crackers, pastas, spice blends, etc. My processed stuff includes rice, Worcestershire and soy sauces and anchovies and capers. No canned soups. I freeze my...
  8. So glad to hear from you but am sad to hear of your health problems. Will make this tomorrow. Thanks for posting this. I had a copy as I have made it since but misplaced it. It still remains my favourite!! You are very good.
  9. Welcome, Debra! Several of us adore cooking. It really helps to be an intuitive cook with a celiac diagnosis! We look forward to your input here.
  10. Making chicken noodle soup for lunch. Focaccia is rising. Tonight will be fresh pasta with shrimp in a creamy sauce with homemade pistachio sage pesto. Focaccia and dipping oil.
  11. Would someone please let me know how much tapioca starch and arrowroot are required in this recipe? My tablet shows a blank where the amounts should be. Thanks!
  12. Sorry, Simona. Must have been dreaming of Salmonella!!! I am making this bread again today. You actually form it rather than spoon or scoop the dough.
  13. Yes, I have done that before but this time there is also something very wrong with my hard drive, too. :-( Stupid dumb laptop. Am using my tablet which means slower/less typing. I keep my life on my laptop practically. Sad how I rely on it!!!
  14. I get mine done every six months. Probably will cut back to annual now that I was diagnosed over two years ago. I agree - definitely go while you still have insurance.
  15. I do a ton of bread baking and have posted some recipes here. One of the best is a recipe by one of our members. Search for Simonella's challah bread. My laptop died last night with all my saved recipes. It will be heartbreaking if my hard drive is lost.
  16. Citrus garlic roast chicken with roasted lemon juice squeezed over at the end Herb-roasted potatoes (all herbs from garden) Baby greens from garden with toasted pine nuts and apple cider vinaigrette Chewy and fudgey brownies
  17. My favourites to make are unusual, like cardamom lime or vanilla bean lavender or even honey chipotle. I love popsicles! Right now I have lemon granita ones.
  18. I believe you could still have celiac disease. Unfortunately, your doctor obviously did not tell you that you must be consuming gluten prior to biopsies. Do you know how many were taken? If only a few then it could have been missed. The leading celiac doc in Canada maintains that only 30% of biopsies are done correctly. I went to her lecture and will...
  19. Taking advantage of the lovely cool weather so am making: Braised Chicken all'Arrabbiata Creamy Herbed Parmesan Polenta Grilled Marinated Zucchini with Lemon Salt and Herbs
  20. As I am hot and sultry, (!!) I am making us huge crisp authentic Greek salads. To be cooler tomorrow so will cook my butt off (I wish).
  21. All you do is remove what looks like a black vein. That is their digestive tract. As others have said, clean very well in case the tract has torn open.
  22. Mixes are disallowed from crossig our threshold. Brownies are probably the simplest baking product to make gluten free. Try them with a touch of cayenne or chipotle! I once tried a BC cake - if brownies are anything like the cake, they would be deplorable.
  23. Welcome here! Happy to have you. Well, you know what I mean. Do you enjoy cooking, eating or both? Today was vichyssoise encore.
  24. You just never know what you might find when you dig deep...
  25. Yes, I used to make crullers when I was a kid. And yeast (risen) doughnuts which is my personal preference. Cake doughnuts seem like "cheater" doughnuts to me - sort of like using canned spaghetti sauce. Cake doughnuts are not "real" doughnuts in my neck of the woods for some reason. Weird, I know...
