    haha I got them both a 1 lb bag of buttered popcorn flavoured jelly bellies and I had no ROOM left for dessert. The SO got home yesterday and brought me back some Rittersport from his visit to his mothers in Waldenbuch (Germany) YAY!!! I can take to with me on the bus to WORK! WOOT! (ok, I am way too excited for this early in the morning...)

    Or maybe try adding half the amount you THINK you will need as it does get thicker as it cooks? I wish I had some measurements for you but its all a by eye and experience type of thing... how much gravy is in the pan etc....

    I use tapioca starch. Make it a slurry before you add it, of course. Hmmm I do not get gravy jello the next day... I can only think that means it was way too much starch? Or maybe that is just what corn starch does? I do not know. I add the slurry when the gravy base is in a pan and still cooking and I whisk it silly. It gets thicker as it cooks. You...

    OK I think Ive got it all worked out and SAFE! I have been a label reading whirlwind! Finger foods to nosh whilst dinner cooks: A plate of Greek Olives, Summer Sausage (which is very hard to find w/o corn syrup!), A dip of stone ground mustard/honey/sriracha, Cabot extra sharp cheddar slices and a plate of deviled eggs. Ham Studded with Cherries...

    Laura... we would throw such FABULOUS parties together.... haha

    Or anything you like on a kebab stick!

    Yea, int he invitation, include a separate little piece of paper with the note on it. Agree with Kareng, the beer should be fine, even if you use your own cooler or bucket full of ice. Stick it outside in the shade? Ask whomever wants to bring something to bring fresh ingredients and help you prep cook the day before? If you can afford to take care of the...

    Oh This is not so pretty. haha But thanks! I just move the dinner leftovers into the lunch category for the next day and do the same as you Laura. If there is extra I save it in the freezer. Either I am going to need to take it to a long day of work for a meal OR they will collect and eventually there will be a TV dinner (home made edition) happen and...

    Oh noes! I hope youre feeling much better by now! Crepes? mmm filled with strawberries and cream cheese! oh yeah.... *smacks hands together in glee* Tonight I had a friend over who wanted to see how I planned everything out. She has all the symptoms of pre-diabetes and wants to change her diet. It was an hours long learning session. It always...

    Yep! Hats off to you. I cannot begin to tell you how lucky and I am how much I love my boyfriend for all of his support. It has meant the world to me. I cannot stress how much, really. He had the advantage, if you want to call it that, of us KNOWING when I had/have gluten by accident because I end up vomiting and it scares him when I get so sick. One of...

    Ive had essential tremor since I was hmmm maybe it was 3rd grade? So much for ever going into a surgical theatre, right! Its just genetic fo rme and no real big deal. People comment on it when I have not had anything to eat and it is more prominent. I am 39 now and it has not really gotten "worse" per se... It will suck when I am much older I guess... ah...

    Sugar, Fat(oil), & Salt..... the big 3 as far as flavour, right? I mean... what else could you do to it really?
  13. MycasMommy
    Daughter texted me. The ingredients in the crust are rice flour, potato flour, tapioca, salt, extra virgin olive oil and cane sugar.

    Break out the spiralizer! I made a ton of carrot "noodles" and everything is currently in the crockpot for some hearty chicken "noodle" soup. I just change out the pasta (no tinkyada today!) with the spiralized carrot ribbons. Tastes good and LOOKS so lovely too!

    Thanks Mamaw. I had my own private school for 8 years while I lived in Hawaii. So I know the ins and outs for the most part. The laws of Washington state are a bit different so it will take some time to get it sorted. I find it is true that the people who are happiest and make the most money are those that OWN the business. This time I will have employees...

    Thank you! :D

    I think we are all aware of that. Some people (like myself) have so much damage by the time we know what is wrong that corn is undigestable. Time to heal before being able to keep it down seems to be quite common amoungst us. Some people have no problem, some do.

    hahah thanks. It was fun to adapt an old classic. I really like the betty crocker gluten-free cake mix. Its very versatile. Can make carrot cake out of it.. and well..anything else cakey too! Tonight, I made Jalapeno Popper Soup with Bacon and Cheddar. It was way too rich so I had to cut it with mashed potato flakes!!! I AM A SINNER!! bahahaha

    Wee I am now (or will be on the 1st of April..no joke!) an employed person. Got the kindergarten teacher position at the local Country Day School (gifted school). I go in on Tuesday to sign the papers. I have to do a set of quick training they require the following week before I start too. It has GREAT benefits... wow... But I will not be making...
  20. MycasMommy
    Yep order extra sauce, cheese, and toppings! hahaha
  21. MycasMommy
    I have been informed that the crust is made of Rice But I am pretty sure it has some corn syrup solids like Udi's breads. I did not taste corn when I had it. It did make me sick though. I cannot wait to give it another go when I attempt corn products again in a few months. My daughter is working there now. When she gets home tomight I will ask her if she...
  22. MycasMommy
    Being corn free has proved almost more difficult than being gluten free... or actually... they are equally as hard, and double so when you cannot digest either.... Bartfull has me hopeful that this too shall pass. hahah
  23. MycasMommy
    yeah, it was a bit much! YAY. 4 interviews...and I also have 4 SECOND interviews now. I had to space them out. I am a wanted woman LOL. It is going to be a busy week. Each of them has requested I teach a class (so they can try me out I guess? LOL) Ive been baking this weekend. That is stress relief baking... I sure I glad I am unable to stress eat...

    Ohhh I made Bunny Cake. The SO is going to visit his parents in Germany for spring break so we did some Eastery type things. Instead of one whole bunny cake, I baked little 6 inch/13 cm cakes and made 3 small ones! Betty Crocker gluten-free white cake mix and then I made the buttercream frosting to avoid corn syrup, and the jelly beans are from Whole foods...

    I am 38 and we have been TTC now for about 4 months. I have been gluten-free for 15 months with a few accidents here and there. Mostly, as nvsmom says, I am just trying to make sure my vitamin levels are better. They were all kinds of bad when this all went down. I still have trouble with my vitamin D. I have actually decided, in addition to the help I...
