    Coffee cake makes any dinner exciting. We had Velveeta shells & cheese, corn on the cob, and burgers on sesame seed buns for supper. Cantaloupe with vanilla bean ice cream for dessert.

    If you're into making rolls the day of, the ATK recipe for dinner rolls is absolutely amazing. They're still good the second day, but they're so much better still warm. I just made Rudi's stuffing last year. If you look on their website they have different recipes for doctoring it up and I used one of those, but it's also good just following the package directions...

    This is hilarious. Maybe instead of buying a bunch of food I don't need I should just make a Thanksgiving pizza and get all the appropriate toys for table decorations. At least I'd still have a turkey and potatoes on the table!

    Because we're 1% of the population and it would cost a ridiculous amount of money to test them. With us only being 1% we probably only make up a small fraction of a percent for any single drug manufactured. It would be a complete waste of money. We all have to eat, but relatively few of us need to take meds on a regular basis. Frankly, we're just not that...

    I know this isn't corn safe, but they are soy free. For people who aren't into cooking (lookin at you Barty) and who are only feeding one or two people these are great. They come in white, or mixed. Gravy built in too! Open Original Shared Link

    There is a company that samples chocolate at Costco with "maltitol (wheat)" on the label but it is also still labeled as gluten free. I've looked up lots on it (it's the only wheat based sweetener I've ever encountered) and was happy with what I read and have quite happily enjoyed a piece of chocolate every time I see them there. Never had a problem with...

    This looks like the basic CYA statement that many of us have heard time and time again when discussing non-food items with manufacturers. They don't use any X-containing ingredients, don't' add X but don't test for X in the final product so won't make a statement specifically declaring it X free because that could create legal liability. These items are generally...

    You can find a local dentist that does candy buyback. They'll get cash for their candy that they can spend on whatever you let them, and the candy gets sent to our troops overseas. It's a perfect win/win. You could also donate it to a local shelter or food bank. Treats like that may be few and far between for kids in situations where a parent has to take...

    I found the most common issue I ran into making bread was always the recipe. I also use the How Can It Be Gluten Free cookbook. It is by far the best cookbook I have ever owned. I haven't been disappointed by any of the recipes I've tried so far. I've only made one bread, which I did enjoy. I also made the dinner rolls which were good, and the English muffins...

    My daughter is lactose intolerant. Instead of changing birth control after being diagnosed with lactose intolerance, she is simply careful to remember to take her lactaid pills every morning before any food or prescription pills. It prevents her symptoms. This may be an option for you if your concerns are lactose and not casein.

    My favorite chocolate is from a local company that sells single sourced chocolate. My favorites are all South American. I have no fear of a chocolate shortage, mine will keep coming. If the prices of mass produced crap chocolate go up much, consider single sourced South American chocolates. It probably won't cost much more and it's sooooo good.

    If it helps with reheating in the microwave, I put just a teaspoon of water in with it and put a lid over it. If you're 100% anti plastic, you can put a small glass plate partway over it. Just so it isn't reheating dry. I noticed too that it gets icky if you reheat dry but just a hint of water helps a lot. I tried this because I always used to reheat my mac...

    I've seen these extracts at my local Smith's store. There isn't anything they sell imitation that isn't available as an actual extract. If you have a cooking or baking store locally, check there or order it online. Craft stores sometimes carry these too. There are dozens of flavors of extracts available and the flavor is always better. Additionally, Kroger...

    If you have to drive that far for it, call after the holidays. I stopped in after Christmas last year at my local health food store. They had it marked down to (I think) $3 a bag. I bought something like 6 of them. Stuffing year round, wooo! The only from scratch recipe I've done is a cornbread stuffing from the holiday issue of Living Without from 2...

    I just buy Rudi's. There are a lot of recipes online for doctoring it up. Every one I've tried has been good, it's also good just the way it is. My favorite recipe is on this page, the one called gluten-free Laura's blah blah something a little more than halfway down. (It's the one with apple.) Open Original Shared Link

    I thought it was hilarious. There were lots of times I just couldn't stop laughing.

    But Kraft's direct competitors aren't. You think they are because you look at what is tested, what is marked gluten free and what is certified. The companies Kraft is in direct competition with are largely the ones Peter identified, which also aren't testing, Unilever, General Mills, Nestle, ConAgra, etc. I eat products from many of these companies often...

    I'm not a fan of South Park. I've seen a few episodes here and there, and some things are funny but overall I just don't find it amusing. My guess is that based on their type of humor that they're probably going to piss off a whole bunch of people who don't understand the South Park way, watched just because of this clip and then can't keep their panties...

    I saw someone else say this recently so I'm not the only one but I call those nights "chopped" nights. Check the fridge and throw whatever is in there in supper. It was actually watching lots of that show that made me more adventurous in the kitchen. I'm never afraid to try new things now and I'm not afraid to fail anymore. What's the worst case scenario...

    Buzzfeed has done a BUNCH of articles, most of them actually pretty hilarious. I suspect though that if you aren't a diagnosed celiac that you're upset about the one that starts off as "blah blah celiac is serious but...." and goes on to talk about the study that was done on gluten intolerance and fodmaps. FYI, this isn't a buzzfeed thing, this is an actual...

    I could never figure out more than 4, but then that's not a "guitar" anymore. Hats off to anyone who can master those things.
  24. Adalaide
    That's epic! After 10 or 15 seconds I realized that something was funky with his guitar and I paused it and counted. I've never seen one with 7 strings before. Maybe I need to get out more. That was always one of my favorite songs to play on the piano, but I imagine it's much easier to play on the piano. It has so much energy, it's hard not to enjoy!

    If you make it with Italian sausage and a pizza cheese blend it's really good too. You can even add a little diced pepperoni or cut some up to add to it when you do that. I recommend adding a bit of Italian seasoning when you do this too. Don't ask how much, I just eyeball things around here.
