    Hi all. I LOVE Tinkyada brown rice pasta. I haven't tried it in a baked casserole yet. I would love to think I could freeze a baked pasta casserole. Has anyone got any experience with that? I'm not sure if I believe that it would hold up. But I really want the convenience. And maybe a recipe? Sandra

    Hi! I don't have garfava flour either....I just asked hubby (the baker, bless him). He uses half and half chickpea flour (hence the gar from garbanzo) and regular bean flour....... so I think to substitute for "garfava" you use: 1/8 cup garbanzo bean flour 1/8 cup bean flour (which is made with fava beans I heard) Hope that helps.

    Sorry, it was Linda (2boys4me) who posted the fish batter recipe....she posted it after including your breadstick recipe Carriefaith. Linda, how do you cook your battered fish? Inquiring minds want to know! Sandra

    Thanks Carriefaith for some great dinner ideas. How do you cook your battered fish? Baked? Fried? (pan-fried? deep-fried). Please advise. I crave battered fish. Sandra

    Hi Laurie! I'd love to get together. Sandra

    Wow, thanks guys! Keep it going...hmmm...gluten-free salami. Hickory Farms Turkey salami is gluten-free. I buy it at Christmas at the mall. I love all these ideas...can't wait to read more. (Just had a tuna salad sandwich...this loaf won't last long!) Sandra

    Thanks again for your flax bread. We made it today in our breadmaker and it was perfect the first time. Flavour variations on this bread would be welcome as well. Dare I suggest also a white bread? Cracked "wheat"? Lemon poppy seed? My husband is requesting cinnamon rolls and he totally trusts you to come up with it now! Even though I prefer...

    Those sound great, and really simple! These are my current favourite peanut butter cookies to add to your collection. I found them on the Everyday Food web-site at PBS. They have worked out every time. Here is the link: Open Original Shared Link Enjoy! Sandra

    I also have the Cuisinart Convection breadmaker with the gluten-free setting. I make the 1.5 lb loaf and use the medium crust setting. I haven't had to remove the bread early at all. In fact I once had to leave the house and the breadmaker went onto the "keep warm" setting for 20 minutes. I assumed the loaf would be horrid but it was fine. I haven't...

    Hey guys, let's list our favourite sandwich fillings now that we have bread! I'm going to try a tomato, mayo, mustard, havarti sandwich next....this is bread Nirvana. Sandra

    Holy Cow! This is wonderful bread. THANK YOU!!!! I was diagnosed in 1985. Life with bread has never been this good. My husband and I just finished our first slices....now we're trying to remember what sandwiches are. Hmmmm....what does one put in a sandwich anyway? Bye the way, we made our bread in the new Cuisinart Convection breadmaker with the gluten...

    Oh, man, I love Harvey's and I've enjoyed their baked potato so many times! Today the Harvey's staff said "Oh by the way, you know our baked potatoes are stored together with the dinner roll, right? Is that a problem for you?" My face fell, I'm sure. They offered me mashed potatoes. Not sure if those are gluten-free, does anyone know? Sigh.

    I love this, LOVE IT!!! Also, I love the little flag on top which says "Glutenfrei". I knew you all would understand.

    Russian ravioli. Wow, sounds great. I came here looking for a perogy recipe. Can anyone help? Sandra
  15. SandraNinTO
    Thanks! I never did find the recipe. We ended up using the German Chocolate Cake recipe from Bette Hagman's dessert cookbook (REALLY GOOD!!!). We then sandwiched it together with whipped cream (we added stabilizer) and ED Smith Cherry Pie filling. Decadent. And it lasted several days surprisingly. I think that chocolate cake recipe is worth making several...

    I bought AlmondRella for awhile. It's just like grated mozzarella and is found in the dairy case hanging up with all the other shredded cheeses. It doesn't melt the same as dairy cheese, but it is still my absolute favourite for pizza topping and is definitely good in tacos. Also, if your aim is a good pizza topping, heaping the pizza high with carmelized...

    I've never had that vaccine, but I had a serious reaction to the flu and hepatitus B shot (I received both within 2 weeks and we don't know which one triggered the reaction). I sustained nerve damage (Guillain Barre syndrome). The doctor wonders if I may already have had celiac related neurological damage which the vaccine exacerbated. I don't want to...

    Hey, I haven't had jello for 10 years and just learned it is gluten-free. I mentioned it to my Mom and she made it for me during visit home on sunday (orange flavoured, with coolwhip). What a blast from childhood (and easy for her to remember). I think sometimes our families are overwhelmed by all the rules. Jell-o is a pretty safe choice at shopping...

    You will get better. You're already a little better right? You probably have more energy. Maybe you haven't removed absolutely everything. It takes a long time to totally eliminate everything. Gluten is sneaky. I remember how long it took me to figure out that there's gluten in Rice Dream milk. (It's in the fine print). Maybe you have a problem with...

    I also like Le Commensal on Bay St. (at Elm beside the World's Biggest Bookstore)in Toronto. It's a vegetarian cafeteria like restaurant where you go through the buffet, then they weigh your plate. They have a binder at the cash register that lists all the gluten-free items on the menu. So I feel really safe eating there. Also, even though it's close...

    Cool. You're moving to TO? Here's the link to Il Fornellos www.ilfornello.com There are many locations. The one near my place is in Toronto Beaches. I'm eating there tonight actually. Sandra

    Hey, if you're getting a microwave, check out my post under "My favorite recipes." I posted alot of recipes for microwave. Most of my recipes feed two people, so you and your room-mate can eat together. Also, I mention the crockpot because they only have the wattage of one light-bulb, so they're not at all dangerous to leave turned on all day. The food...

    I tested negative on the blood test too. But the doctor who suggested the test (the head of a department specializing in allergy at a medical research hospital) didn't think it would matter if I'd been off gluten for 10 years. I now know that all my blood test indicated was that I hadn't ingested gluten. Unfortunately I can't get the biopsy now 'cause...

    I have 2 Scottish parents and there are 7 of us in the family. My husband (who is not thought to be celiac) has a nephew with celiac and he has parents of English/Ukrainian & Italian descent.

    Hmmm....that's a picture of me trying to remember 20 years back to college. I commuted from my parent's home. I used to make pancakes, then slather them with PB & J and carry them in sandwich bags everywhere. Also granola bars (homemade or storebought at the local healthfood store). If you can get a microwave in your room, that would be great. I...
