  1. What a wonderful answer! Yes to all of it, I just had to log in to tell the above person they rock!!
  2. 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? Open Original Shared Link This gal does something unique to her rice. I am finding that a soak makes a far better product.
  3. 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.
  4. 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. ...
  5. Use it for breading! You'll be so surprised!
  6. Open Original Shared Link Some other things to do with spring roll wrappers!
  7. Sometimes I will use these to do something fun for my daughter. You CAN cook with these babies! Yep, you have to use more than one but I "fry" them in olive oil, after wrapping meat & veggies, fun treat. Works with fruit too! Me
  8. Nobody has to tell me it ain't easy doing it yourself but if you knew what goes into your food. It takes a LOT of JUNK to keep this kind of food on the shelf for months & months!!?? You really want to put that into a kids mouth?
  9. MOMS! Make your own! You can do it, it's really very easy. Open Original Shared Link
  10. 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!!
  11. Nutribullet Open Original Shared Link Don't buy it here! Bed, Bath & Beyond, $80 + tax to your door. Anything over $50, shipping is free. Don't like it? Send it back. Trust me, you will like this! Easy to clean, rinse well & go, uses a SMALL amount of product, best gadget I have ever owned and I have them all This dumb thing...
  12. Open Original Shared Link Feeling behind the times....?
  13. Today I bought Ivory Teff tortillas(big ones)made by Open Original Shared Link I also am buying some Italian wheat after reading an article in Whole Living about sourdough.
  14. Convenience is the enemy! I feel way better w/o packaged food!? How do I do it? Nuts(I carry them around with me)boiled eggs, chopped meats for lettuce roll-ups(I knew I was on to something when my co-workers were jealous, while eating their breaded sandwich)lots of small containers with all kinds of 3-bite foods. Olives.(YUM!) I bake cookies with nut...
  15. Thank goodness for Trader Joe's! I can afford it AND there is some nutrition in their brown rice pasta! This stuff made me bloat like a fish belly! I assume that corn in NOT GMO!?
  16. 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...
  17. So grateful for the $1 store! They have tall, screw lid, Made in the USA containers. I bet you can order them online but you'd have to buy a case!
  18. The way I experiment: I throw batches of stuff together, make up a pancake batter or waffle and go from there.
  19. Open Original Shared Link No matter what I cook I always add a spoon or two. It really helps "build flavors".
  20. 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. Pinterest has so many different food styling sites! You should see what clever moms are doing! You can make the best flour-less cookies: 1 cup peanut butter (any nut will do!) 1/4 cup raw...
  21. 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.
  22. 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...
  23. 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...
  24. 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 ...
