    The only Shar product I've tried is the chibata rolls. They were pretty good, but of course expensive. My mom introduced me to Tinkyada pasta a few years ago and when I buy pasta that is the brand I usually get. We love spaghetti squash so I don't use a lot of pasta. My grocery store is just starting to get Shar products in so I will look for the pasta...

    Interesting links. Thank you. I have a recipe called Better 'N Fudge that I make with cocoa powder, natural peanute butter (could use other nut or seed butters), honey, dates and lots of seeds and nuts. Some of the "healthy candy" recipes I've tried taste pretty nasty, but we love this one. The old recipes weren't like the ones you linked to so I will...

    Interesting article. Molasses is a very strong flavor so a little goes a long way. I don't use in in everything but sometimes add 1 Tablespoon if I want to replace brown sugar in baked goods. I have also added 1 or 2 Tablespons to things like chili or bean soup because it does add a depth of flavor.

    It was filed in protest of what he considered "frivolous lawsuits." Details here: Open Original Shared Link

    This is a bit of a pet peeve of mine and I'm from the midwest where we aren't afraid to speak our minds. No offense intended to anyone. Gluten free cookbooks caused me major problems when I was getting started. I had many years of cooking experience and some pretty decent skills, but was overwhelmed by the strange ingredients and difficult techniques...

    I generally prefer to convert my own recipes because IMHO many gluten free cookbooks make things way more difficult than needed. That said I do have one cookbook I use as my gluten free reference kind of like I use my good old Betty Crocker. It's 1,000 Gluten Free Recipes by Carol Fenster. I've received other gluten-free cookbooks as gifts but they pretty...

    I stopped using the powder/cubes as well as canned broth many years ago due to the high sodium content. At first I looked for low sodium varieties, but finally decided it was easier to make my own. That's something you might think about -- it's not difficult and you can make a big batch and freeze it in smaller containers to have on hand.

    You might be over baking them. Many of the gluten free flours do not produce a nicely browned finished product. In face somethings things turn out quite white. So next time check for doneness rather than relying on time or browning and see what happens.

    Could be. Breeds and even individual cats differ in hair length, texture and dander. You might also want to look at anything that came with the cat like scented kitty litter. I used to have a lot of trouble cleaning the box until I figured that one out.

    ARCHIVED Need Advice

    genieb replied to Googles's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    I'm guessing you receive your meal as a benefit because you will be working during lunch. Everywhere I have worked staff were expected to eat with the residents to model appropriate behavior, make sure everyone was served and offer assistance as needed. This was also a good time to get to know the residents in a more informal and relaxed setting. I'm...

    Our heat wave finally broke a few days ago. In the 80's today, low 60's tonight. But it looks like it's going to start creeping back up into the 90's later in the week. We've not used to this kind of heat this early.

    Haven't seen either movie, but we do have a former state senator who tried to sue God -- for real.

    Bob really likes the Mesa Sunrise from Nature's Path, but he doesn't like the price. I still buy it for him every once in a while as a treat. When I do we usually pour it into a big covered container and mix it with something cheaper like puffed brown rice then add nuts, seed and dried fruit. For cold cereal he often eats Chex or puffed brown rice or a...

    I've been wanting to study teff more, but just haven't had time. It is one of the "protein" grains/flours. I do use it in my multigrain flour blend that tastes more like the 7 grain flours I used back in the day. That blend makes really good bread and pie crust. I also tried a chocolate mint cookie recipe with teff flour awhile back that was very good...

    I got a little bit of that at the beginning but not much. No one ever says anything like that anymore. Their mouths are usually too full eating my cooking to say anything. I entertain gluten free and send gluten free food to Bob's pot lucks at work and everyone loves it. Over the years I've learned it just easier to take care of ourselves than to expect...

    I'm afraid I'm not going to be a lot of help. When I'm pan frying patties I just spray my pan with a little cooking spray. The outside of the patties gets nice and brown and crusty which we like. I do have to be sure to really get a metal spatula under the patties to turn them or that crust can be left on the bottom of the pan. I've never had any trouble...

    I forgot, I add it to my smoothies too. It's really good in the pumpkin pie smoothie.

    I'm sure the recipe is good as is, I make substitution because we don't eat pork for religious reasons and Bob is allergic to sage. We all do what we have to do.

    I add it to my baked goods either as an egg replacer (1 T. flax seed meal mixed with 3 T. hot water per egg) or to replace about 1/4 cup of the flour in a recipe. I haven't noticed any ill effects. I use it for the Omega 3's.

    I make my own sausages too, only I use ground turkey and substitute basil for the sage. They are good and really easy to warm up later.

    I read an article awhile back about someone making "potions" at a Harry Potter Party. Actually they were smoothies with the kids choosing the fresh ingredients that were given wizardly names. I thought it was a cute and healthy idea. Sorry I can't remember where I saw it, but it shouldn't be hard to do.

    ARCHIVED Bacon Sundae!

    genieb replied to lpellegr's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    Bacon Sundae????? This is for real? Sorry, but I'm not at all tempted.

    I lost a lot of time to misdiagnosis and mistreatment, including the years most people are getting established in their careers and having children. When I first made the decision to go gluten free I was of course afraid that it would be another dead end and I wouldn't get better, but I was equally afraid that I would. I was afraid that if I had suffered...

    Not sure yet. Lunch is usually our big meal but on Sunday Bob's schedule is different so it's in the evening. I have some zucchini and yellow squash I need to use -- will probably try putting together a "skillet meal" by adding some onions, garlic, green pepper, tomatoes and maybe a cut up chicken breast or two. I made a carrot salad yesterday will probably...

    The black bean salsa sounds really good. Thanks!
