ARCHIVED How Can The Cook Not Taste Her Own Food While Cooking On Thanksgiving?
lonewolf replied to Nuala's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I don't add any extra liquid. I just follow the basic recipe in my cookbook and go by "feel" too. Once the bread is dry, it seems to act just like other dry bread cubes. If you put too much liquid in it gets a little too mushy. -

Have you increased your sugar intake significantly? There is a definite correlation between sugar intake and trigliceride levels. -

ARCHIVED How Can The Cook Not Taste Her Own Food While Cooking On Thanksgiving?
lonewolf replied to Nuala's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Just a few suggestions. Use sweet rice flour to thicken the gravy and white sauce and no one will ever know. It doesn't lump like regular flour, so it's actually easier. For stuffing, try Ener-G Foods Light Tapioca bread. Cut into cubes and dry in the oven. Again, I bet no one will notice. I make stuffing from either the light tapioca or brown rice... -
ARCHIVED Thanksgiving Is Coming!
lonewolf replied to Offthegrid's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I've taken my own food to other people's houses countless times. Are you going to your grandmother's house first? If so, make up a plate of leftovers that you can take to your in-laws'. Or you could bake a little cornish game hen and bring your own potatoes or sweet potatoes or whatever. The getting together is the most important thing. My opinion... -
ARCHIVED This Is How I'm Hosting My First gluten-free Thanksgiving
lonewolf replied to FootballFanatic's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I do a totally "traditional" Thanksgiving. It's posted somewhere on another thread, but I'll recap here. Turkey Stuffing - homemade with Ener-G Brown Rice Bread and cornbread Mashed potatoes - red potatoes with skins left on Gravy - thickened with sweet rice flour Sweet Potato slices - sweetened with maple syrup Homemade cranberry sauce Green Beans... -
Have you tried eliminating soy? I know I wouldn't have gotten better if I had only eliminated gluten. For me it was (and still is) gluten, dairy and soy.

ARCHIVED gluten-free Baking Tips

Try Quinoa flakes. -
A gluten-free crust is really easy. Use gluten-free ginger snaps (Mi-Del or Trader Joe's) or Pamela's ginger cookies (dried first) and make just like a graham cracker crust. Or make a nut crust. Really, it isn't that hard! (The hard part is not being able to eat the cheesecake because of the cheese... )

ARCHIVED Jnkmnky--where Is She?
lonewolf replied to Fiddle-Faddle's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
I don't know any details, but she was banned right after she got kind of rude and pushy on a religion thread about a year and a half ago. There might have been something else too, but I just remember thinking that she was getting a little out of hand and then she was gone. -
Yep, you are quite right! My mouth is watering at the thought! I'm thinking Tacoma/Federal Way would be the best place for her to open it.

Cyberprof - I think we've been to the same places. People rave about the food from them, but I thought everything tasted like the "flops" that I used to throw away. If only I had business sense and a bit bigger reperatoire of items, I'd open a bakery. I think Barb is from Texas, but maybe she'd like to move here...?

ARCHIVED New Support Group Starting In Federal Way, Wa
lonewolf replied to lonewolf's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
It was in the calendar section of the newsletter (last page). I also read it somewhere else a week or so ago - that's how I know that it's a planning meeting. I don't have really young kids, but I'll be there too. I'll be the one who looks like she just came from 2 hours of basketball practice. -
ARCHIVED gluten-free Baking Tips
lonewolf replied to bakingbarb's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
I've had the best luck with baking by following "regular" recipes and using simple flour mixtures. I use Betty Crocker and all my old recipes for almost everything now. It seems to work better than trying to follow dozens of steps in "new" recipes that don't end up all that great. My sister-in-law and mom have had good luck baking cookies and cakes by just... -
ARCHIVED New Support Group Starting In Federal Way, Wa
lonewolf posted a topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
I know that there are a few others in the South Puget Sound area that are interested in a support group. Marlene's Market in Federal Way is having kind of a planning meeting to see if there's enough interest to start a support group. The meeting is scheduled for Nov. 20th at 7:00 upstairs in the store. As frustrated as I am with Marlene's, I'm planning... -
I just saw plantain flour at an international market last night. Wouldn't this be similar to banana flour? I almost bought it, but don't have a clue how to use it. It was imported from Thailand, I think.

Yes, mix everything together. Thanks for pointing that out. I edited that recipe with the correction. These meatballs are really yummy and are "cute" when they're done. Hope you enjoy! -

I've been working on compiling some fairly easy and kid-friendly recipes that I can give to people who ask, "what can I eat that my family will like?". Since I have 4 kids, they are made in large portions and with kids in mind. I have lots more - things like spaghetti, meatloaf, lentil soup, etc. that I don't have written down yet. I hope this helps... -
ARCHIVED Looking For Birthday Cake Recipe...gluten And Rice Free?
lonewolf replied to MammaW's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
I use sorghum flour sometimes for a change. It works well in things like chocolate cake and pancakes, but my kids aren't totally thrilled with it for cookies. I kind of like it because it has a kind of nutty taste that's different than rice. There's a recipe on here somewhere for sorghum bread. We all loved the taste, but it fell in the oven, as does... -
ARCHIVED Looking For Birthday Cake Recipe...gluten And Rice Free?
lonewolf replied to MammaW's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
I'm assuming that eggs and chocolate are okay? I made a chocolate cake a few weeks ago using sorghum instead of rice flour and it turned out great. It's the recipe from this website. For the flour mix I make up 3 C Sorghum flour, 1 C Potato starch, 1/2 C Tapioca starch, then measure out from that. Chocolate Cake 1-
