    I love homemade soups - taco soup, leftover roast soup, chicken veggie soup, double potato soup, pumpkin soup, chili (which can be eaten with rice, corn bread, corn chips and salad fixings, or with hotdogs, etc.). My sister makes clam chowder, too, but I had a bad experience with clam chowder in 6th grade that I doubt I will ever recover from, so I don't...

    I checked, and our next class is on Tuesday, September 26th in the Little Theater at the Provo Macey's. The classes start at 7 pm, and go for about one hour. They are completely free, but Macey's likes people to sign up so we can get a more accurate amount of food. We are going to be doing Pasta & Sauces. We'll have a couple of different types of...

    You're welcome!

    It might also be worthwhile to check and see if there are any on-campus helps available. There has been an official "Celiac Club" on campus at BYU in the past. And, Hey! If there isn't one at your college yet, maybe you could look into starting one . . . You could be the president by default and improve your (eventual) resume! And it would also be a way...

    Jenn - Here are some breakfast ideas/recipes. Also, you can check out the recipe section of this forum for breakfast ideas. Or look on Open Original Shared Link. Their waffle recipe is FABULOUS. A friend of mine (who has never eaten gluten-free baked goods before) tried them last weekend and said they are better than Eggos. We always make a bunch...

    Try the "True Yeast Bread" recipe on this site Open Original Shared Link They also sell a mix that is based on that bread recipe, so you can find out how the bread tastes before deciding to buy a mix . . . or you can simply make it from scratch and never bother with a mix at all. My mom's daycare kids always ask if they can have some of her yummy-smelling...

    I know of at least one celebrity that employs a gluten-free chef. I've also had people request that I bake for their autistic children. That is one place where you might be able to make such a career work for you, and help overwhelmed parents at the same time.

    See if you can check out the book "Saving Dinner" by Leanne Ely from your library. It's not technically a gluten-free cookbook, but most of the recipes are gluten-free or are VERY easily modified (corn starch instead of flour as a thickener). I love it. I use it all the time, and no one ever even notices that we are eating gluten free because everything...

    utdan - Our next class is in late September (the 26th, I think, but check the Provo list of little Theater classes to make sure). We took August off so we could go on vacation. We'll post the class dates soon . . . thanks for reminding me! The Utah County GIG meets the first Thursday of every month at 7 pm at Timpanogos Hospital in the Cafeteria...

    Ang - I don't think these mixes are actually sold as a mix. I mix them up myself. The recipe can be found on the main recipes page of Open Original Shared Link. Have fun!

    Nantzie - Did you discover the perfect recipe?

    I'm not at home, so I don't have my recipes handy. Try using a regular recipe, and substituting 3/4 c. Bette Hagmans' Featherlight mix and 1/4 c. Bette Hagman's gluten-free mix per 1 cup of regular flour that the recipe calls for. Then use 1/4 - 1/2 tsp. per cup of flour. good luck! Betsy

    My first thought was: Host a week-long family reunion. Tell everyone that you are going to plan all the meals, snacks, etc, and all they have to do is pitch in money to reimburse you. Then just plan all the meals gluten free. My family reunions do that, because 4 of my aunts have celiac. It's really not that hard to do, and no one feels deprived. If...

    I also add plain puffed corn that I buy at the health food store. Just adds another flavor to the mix.

    Mono is a good suggestion - my good friend's son had fevers and lack of appetite for a long time, and they finally figured out it was mono .. . of course, there's not much you can do for it, but knowing what the cause behind the illness was makes things much easier to cope with. Good luck!

    Sweetfudge - How did your zucchini bread go?

    I make these chocolate chip cookies all the time. All the neighborhood kids love them. Open Original Shared Link They're really yummy and just as easy to make as "normal" cookies. Have fun!

    It's a myspace site, but this site won't let me type in the full address . . . if you type it in, it replaces it with the words : www.LameAdvertisement. Anyway, it's at www. myspace . com /gcbec only without all the spaces. I think that's what she posted before.

    Bette Hagman has a great granola recipe in her original "Gluten Free Gourmet" cookbook. I think it's on page 196 (isn't it sad that I have recipe book pages memorized?). It makes great granola bars, too.

    From the beginning I've just prayed that everything will work out best for the children. That's what I'm still praying for.

    Blue Chip muffins are very good, I must agree. As far as making zuchini bread goes, try substituting 3/4 c. Bette Hagman's featherlight mix and 1/4 of a cup of Hagman's gluten-free mix for each cup of flour (so if the recipe calls for 4 cups of flour, use 3 of featherlight and 1 of gluten-free mix). Then add about 1/2 tsp. xanthan gum for each cup of flour...

    I've talked to 2 people recently who are starting to do gluten-free gift baskets here in UT - a store called Against the Grain, and a company called Always Amy. In case someone wants one already made up . . .

    Ordering things online is a great idea for baking mixes and things like that (pasta, too, I bet). But there are lots of naturally gluten free foods that are readily available everywhere - meats, potatoes, rice, veggies, fruits, etc. There are lots of delicious things you can make with those basic ingredients. Try the cookbook "Saving Dinner" by Leanne...

    I always use this frosting with chocolate cake . . . it's a nice flavor combination. It's really fast to make, too. Of course, it's only good if you can eat dairy . . . Cream Cheese Frosting 8 oz. cream cheese 1/2 c. margarine or butter 1 lb. powdered sugar 1 tsp. vanilla Cream the cheese and butter with a mixer on high (until all lumps are...

    My advice would be to call the lab where the tests were run (or you can look up their website) and ask the lab techs what the numbers mean. They can generally interpret those numbers for you.
