    As spring break approaches, so does our first camping trip of the year. Prior to being gluten-free we always made a dutch oven cobbler that consisted of fruit on the bottom and then a yellow cake mix (just the mix) dumped on top , a cube of butter diced over the top and then a can of sprite poured over the whole concoction. We baked this in the dutch oven...

    My 6 year old has been on a gluten-free diet for the last year. We had her blood tested twice prior to that but each time it came back negative. My husband as well as several extended family members have Celiac so I decided to put her on a gluten-free diet due to her behavioral symptoms. It made a huge difference in how she physically and emotionally felt...

    Hello, I am hoping for help from all the great cooks out there. I want to make some meatballs for New Years Eve but every time I make meatballs they turn out kind of .. the best way I can think to describe it is the texture is course. I used to buy the meatballs from Costco and they have a much smoother texture, very tender. My meatballs are like ground...

    I did half my stuffing in the turket and then baked the rest in a glass casserole dish. It was good but not quite as moist as I would have liked. How do you cook the stuffing in a crockpot? Do I just start with my regular recipe and add a little extra broth when it goes in the crockpot? I like the idea of having one less thing to bake. Also, how long do you...

    If you have a store near you that sells them, you could ask if they do demos if you bring some brown rice in. I have a whisper mill and I grind all my rice flours and some others as well. I can tell you that the brown rice is not a fine a grind as the asian white rice that I have purchased before BUT I have never purchased an asian brown rice flour or the...

    I have a Whisper Mill that I use. I grind brown rice, white rice, and millet. I bought some dried garbonzo beans to grind but I haven't done it yet. I can get a nice fine grind with the finest setting, not as powdery as asian rice flour but still very fine. I haven't been able to find asian brown rice flour so I am not sure how it compares to the grind I...

    Has anyone ever seen any gluten-free tortollini? Anyone ever tried making it by hand with the gluten-free pasta dough?

    Do you use these Pamela's substitutes in the same way as the real mix? Should I cut out the instructions for pancakes, waffles, etc from my Pamela's bag?

    Our school is selling the laptop lunchboxes as a fund raiser (charter school) for $35.00 each. For those of you who have used these, does the food ever migrate between compartments or does everything stay put pretty well? And does the small box with the lid really keep liquids like salad dressing from leaking? Nikkie

    I am hoping for some help with a problem my 6 year old is having. She has been on the gluten-free diet for about 5 months. Her blood work came back negative twice but thanks to the information on this site I went with my gut feeling that gluten was a problem for her and put her on the gluten-free diet for 3 months and then did a challenge which absolutely...

    "The mormon genetic database??" Do you mean the geneology database? I've been a mormon my whole life and I live in SLC and I'm pretty sure there is not a "mormon genetic" database. It made me laugh though-thanks!

    I went to a new asian market that opened up near me and was so excited to see the prices on rice flour. I do have a question though. I was not able to find brown rice flour-is it called anything different? Also, I was looking for sweet rice flour and only saw glutinous rice flour-are they the same thing? Hopefully someone can help me! Thanks.

    I made the "New York Style" crust on my pizza stone several times last week.(we really liked it!). I just oiled my stone and then put the dough on while the stone was cold. I used a lot of brown rice flour to pat the dough down and even used my pampered chef roller thing to roll it all out to the edges. This does require a good amount of flour however because...

    I baked a loaf of this 2 days ago-it is awesome! I have been prepping my kids for going gluten-free in February (only my husband has tested positive for Celiac but some of the kids have things that I believe may be helped by a gluten-free diet) and my oldest daughter who hasn't been very happy about going gluten-free said if I would make this bread then she...

    I do live in the US, so the tests are available. I am of the school of thought that if the cure if the kids are positively diagnosed is the diet then why not at least try the diet to see if it helps before doing a biopsy or additional testing. We are also self employed so it wouldn't hurt to keep an official diagnoses off of the medical records either. I...

    My daughter is doing a murder mystery dinner for her 12th birthday. One of her friends has celiac and so I need to make sure everything is gluten free. My husband also has celiac so I know how to do this but I need some ideas on what food to serve. The mystery is set in victorian times and I would like to do a plated dinner that I will serve to them. Can...

    My aroma has a non stick covering over the aluminum-do you have a problem with crusty rice too?

    My rice cooker just died and I need to replace it but I want a better one than I had. I started with a Rival rice cooker and steamer and I loved it. My family grew and I needed something bigger. I bought an Aroma rice cooker last Christmas and I have not been happy with it. There was always a crust of hard rice at the bottom-especially when I would use broth...
