ARCHIVED White Basmati Rice Recipes Or Ideas
fantasticalice replied to BlessedMommy's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
There are so many things to do with rice but I wanted to ask if you've ever soaked your rice and if so, how long? In a fridge or on the counter. Ever added vinegar to the soak?

ARCHIVED Making It Too Hard?
fantasticalice replied to fantasticalice's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Don't forget the SALT! While some of you cannot have salt it really makes the gluten-free stuff "pop"! I made Sea Salt cho chip cookies the other night, WOW! Salt really helps balance the flavors, as gluten-free tends to taste so harsh. -
I have been reading this site for awhile now. I have learned some stuff but nothing to make it "easy". We can all see this by the over 7,000 posts alone for cooking advice. I have been to the library and read countless books. I have spent hours online trying to "get this down". Well, when I decided to RELAX and let go, it all of a sudden became easier. ...

ARCHIVED Oatmeal Flour Instead Of Wheat?
fantasticalice replied to lil'chefy's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Tends to be DENSE! Really dense! I have found, if you toast the product 1st you get a better grinding result. IE: Millet, quinoa, oats toast so nicely, why not give it a hand at grinding your own? Coffee grinder will work, small batches. You'll feel like The Little Red Hen!! -

ARCHIVED Bread Machine
fantasticalice replied to june27's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Make sure you can take the thing back! This bread maker is for gluten-free bread but I bet you still have to watch it and scrape it down! Open Original Shared Link $350 and you can eat bread, if you are lucky. I have never tried this thing but you can google reviews. I found that you still had to mess with the bread! Try banana bread and add... -

Start now with the lettuce roll-ups! Any kind of green. Go slow with the gluten-free stuff and stick with whole foods. Small containers with lots of choices.

ARCHIVED No Cooker Looking For Easy Gluten Out

Pressure cooker! I just bought a good one. Split pea soup, start to finish, 8 minutes. Buy a good one, no aluminum, with a dial to change the pressure. $75 for a Spanish one. I love this thing, my gosh. I eat so well now and the food taste so good! 2 minutes for delish, steamed broccoli. -
ARCHIVED Have You Read The Book Wheat Belly?
fantasticalice replied to lookat's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
DITTO! Your body cannot tell the difference between "whole wheat" and "regular" wheat!? I don't care if it's brown rice or wheat. Sure, a lot have Celiac and have super reaction to gluten but I don't and it affects me? Since we figured out what was wrong with my beautiful, long suffering daughter I too have gone gluten-free. Wow. What a HUGE difference in... -
ARCHIVED Teff Flour
fantasticalice replied to squirmingitch's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
You can eat teff warm, in cereal form, like oatmeal. Whole grain. Buy it in the health food store or online. What do they use it for? Ha! "They" use it to make their gluten-free crap look "whole grain". Most of the gluten-free stuff is made from white rice, tapioca, corn, everything they use to make pigs fat. It has NO nutritional value, at all! None... -
ARCHIVED Mixers/blenders
fantasticalice replied to silk's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
I didn't like the Ninja, took it back. That would not last in my house. Spend $ and buy a food processor, it works for so many different things! It's the only one to handle my nut butters but I still like to do it by hand. Wattage is the important key and being able to take it back if you don't like it! I make those nut butters in my Nutribullet, it has ...
