  1. sa1937, my flour mix is a recipe out of "Artisinal Gluten Free Cooking" by the Bronskis. I used it to make pancakes today and was shocked at how good they were. I mentioned the book in a different post. They truly did not taste gluten-free. I can't say they actually tasted like wheat, but they were much better than the other expensive prepared bags of...
  2. I love my new gluten-free cookbook! This morning I made possibly the world's best pancakes from a recipe in it. My family says these were better than glutened pancakes! I replaced the milk with vanilla soy milk and added a handful of chocolate chips. The cookbook title is "Artisinal Gluten Free Cooking" and I believe it was only about $12 on amaz... Just...
  3. Can you elaborate on how something high in omega3s ends up full of free radicals when heated? I'm not familiar with that process but it concerns me. Does the same thing happen when you heat other omega3 rich foods???
  4. Has anyone used chia flour in baking? I've read you are supposed to be able to use it 1:1 just like all-purpose wheat flour. If you know about this and have used it successfully, what kind did you buy? There is only one kind on amaz... Just wondering if it is the kind I should buy or if it is a good price. It is raw sprouted chia flour in a 2.5 lb. bag...
  5. Costco, I've heard, responds to requests, so we should be making our voices heard in his way so they'll carry more gluten-free stuff.
  6. It seems at the very least that if gluten is causing your child pain that could wake him up. The pain goes away so he stops waking up. I think your belief is completely legitimate. Just in my not so humble opinion. By he way, I've experienced the same thing with my son but he's 7 so it is easier to get an idea of what wakes him. And what hurts. Good luck...
  7. Thanks soooooo much, everyone. You know, part of my problem is I don't really think about where these flours originate from. I'm so used to just working with whole wheat and I know how long that can be in the pantry before getting rancid. It makes sense that potato and tapioca would have a long shelf life but maybe not bean flours. And I don't even know what...
  8. I bought all the various flours to make my own gluten-free flour mix today. I have leftovers of some starches/flours so I bagged each leftover individually and then put them all in a large ziploc. Should I store the bag of leftovers in the fridge? And especially what is he best way to store the xanthan gum? That stuff is like powdered gold at $12 for a...
  9. The body wash is in a two pack with an orange lid. Smells nice, like oranges. I don't think you will find the Kirkland Signature gluten-free products are ever processed in a different facility. I've called on several items and although they are free of gluten ingredients, they process them on shared equipment and will not promise that equipment was cleaned...
  10. My seven year old likes salmon when I marinate it in 1/4 c. maple syrup and 2 T. gluten-free soy sauce/tamari, salt and pepper. Another variation of is idea includes pineapple juice. And I'm sure there are gluten-free BBQ sauces. How about olive oil, salt and pepper? Or experiment with various gluten-free salad dressings.
  11. Even better yet, buy the organic brown eggs. You can get them at Costco. I swear they taste even better than regular white eggs. Even my seven year old son can tell when I make his scrambled eggs. If you are an egg lover, you owe it to yourself to try these. My own mouth is watering thinking about it! Now I have to go find those spices you were talking...
  12. I'm reading these posts on my iPhone in the middle of the night and trying to control my laughter so as not to wake up my hubby! . I love this thread! We think the Cherrybrook Kitchen products are nasty, particularly the pancake mix and the tiny chocolate chip cookies in a box. The packaging is so cute, I really fell for it! . I really like everything by ...
  13. Thank you so much.  That advice is really helpful. I'll get that book and I'll try the PP Baking Mix and look up recipes. That will be easy. . No reason to make it harder than it has to be! Yes, I was mainly talking about baking but is there another gluten-free book you love?
  14. I am only a month into feeding my family gluten-free (we suspect celiac with my 7-year-old son, despite negative antibody screens, who also has Crohn's) and of course I know how to cook gluten-free with fresh meat, produce, beans and grains. However, young children like their bread and treats. And I don't know how to make those yet. So please help me by...
  15. One more thing, the So Delicious Popsicles are sweetened with agave so they are also less glycemic and do not cause the crash that sugary Popsicles cause...if this is a concern for you.
  16. Although pricy, we love the So Delicious and Rice Dream frozen treats, most of which are gluten-free. The gluten-free products say gluten-free right on the lid so it is easy to tell which ones are gluten-free. Also, Trader Joe's sorbets are gluten-free.
  17. I just wanted to pass along that Costco's Kirkland Signature shampoo, conditioner and body wash (brand new formulas) are gluten-free, vegan, all-natural, smell great and don't dry my family out. I had started hunting for an inexpensive way to get gluten-free and more natural products when I came across these. My 7-year old definitely gets shampoo in his mouth...
  18. I thought of one more thing. One time we stopped at Costco and got a box of Orchard bars and Stretch Island Fruit and a bunch of bananas. The bars have almost 200 calories and are full of seeds and nuts so it was a fairly nutritious meal.
  19. The "Is that gluten-free?" Eating Out app for iPhone/iPod is good. We don't eat out much but my favorite establishment for getting gluten-free meals, believe it or not, is In'n'Out. The staff there seems to understand what gluten-free means and seems to have a whole little process in place for when gluten-free is ordered. The cashier calls out, "Gluten free...
  20. Lunches are hard because I tend to think of sandwiches and tapioca bread is crumbly. I bring a bag of frozen peeled shrimp and a jar of Trader Joe's cocktail sauce. We also buy Bison hot dogs that are the best hot dogs I've ever had and we eat them bunless. I also make "lunchmeat roll-ups" by rolling up a slice of gluten-free cheese in a slice of gluten...
