    There are quite a few cake recipes on this site-- some specifically for birthday cake. Look in the site index under recipes. Also, Annalise Robert's book has many cake recipes. (Her coconut cake seems to be a favorite.) I haven't baked this type of cake yet since diagnosed, so I can't specify my own favorites, but I'll bet if you searched the message...

    My family used to tease me because I refused to drink soda from a can... but I do use canned beans. I always rinse them off very thoroughly in a colander & find that makes a huge difference in their palatability. I'm sure I do lose some food value that way, though, so from-scratch is probably healthier, if you have time. I don't think I'm a "supertaster...

    What are your restrictions? Betty Hagman's bread book has many different formulas. If you let me know what you can't have I can try to find one that fits the bill. My favorite of hers (that I have tried so far) is the Four Flour Bread, but it may not suit your intolerances. Leah

    Baba ganouj has a very luscious mouthfeel similar to mayo & is much healthier. I used to love it with falafel & taboulli in pita sandwiches... haven't tried it on regular (gluten-free) bread but why not? It makes a great dip too for tortilla chips. I'm getting hungry for it now! Leah

    Wow, this really gives me hope! Way to go, Lil!

    I don't use a bread machine, so I'm not the best person to answer this, but nobody else has replied, so I'll give it my best shot. I'm not sure how the machines work, but I have made bread from recipes that used both yeast & soda, so I think if you can adjust the rising time (make it shorter) you can probably use it. Not sure if that helps, but good...

    Happy Birthday Lister! Is your wok the bare iron kind or the non stick kind? If the former, it will work much better if you season it: coat it with oil & bake in a hot oven for an hour or so. It creates a non-stick surface that makes cooking much easier. Another wok trick: Heat the wok before you put in the oil, rather that putting the oil in...

    Any cornbread can be made in a regular pan, but the skillet is what makes it scrumptious. Cast iron's good for a lot of other things too, since it can go stove top to oven, very handy. And it lasts a lifetime if not longer!

    Or, maybe the coffee was just as good! Check out this link... Open Original Shared Link Leah

    Thank you so much for this link! I tried surfing for information on sulfa/sulfites & didn't find anything this informative. Of course one could be allergic to both in any case... but being the daughter of a chemist, I should know that different compounds act very differently. Lorka, all members of the cabbage family (broccoli, cauliflower, &...

    I can't wait to get those cards! I have them on order & I think they'll really help. It's so hard to get across all the nuances especially with the waitstaff as intermediaries... Great to hear the cards worked so well for you. Leah

    I can understand how ridiculously picky we must seem to restaurant workers... both my husband & my son are in the biz, & even without special requests it's such a madhouse at busy times. And even my dear, understanding mom said "it seems a little excessive, doesn't it?" when I used paper towels at their beach house because a houseful of kids...

    Canned rice? I never knew such a thing existed! Have I just overlooked it all these years? Leah
  14. queenofhearts
    Mmmmm, yes, I love polenta, especially chilled & fried. My husband doesn't care for it, silly boy! But it's SOOO good, crispy on the outside, creamy inside, real comfort food. And it makes a great base for all kinds of sauces, ratatouille, shrimp marinara, cooked greens, roasted tomatoes... I could go on & on. Thanks for the reminder! Leah

    The Kroger dietician assured me that Kroger brand broths are Gluten-free, but they would only divulge this info by phone, so nothing in writing. If you want a for-sure brand (& tastier too but much pricier) Pacific Organic Free-Range lists Gluten-free status on the box. Leah

    Thanks! I'm always on the lookout for new recipes. The Lemon Brazo de Mercedes sounds so yummy! Lemon merinque pie without the crust! Leah

    What an ordeal, Ashley! I hope you are feeling much better now. You know we are all rooting for you. Leah

    Thanks! I've used their lotion in the past & really liked it so I'll give it a try! Leah

    DO NOT USE Neutrogena UVA/UVB Sunblock-- it contains oats. This was my latest hidden-gluten discovery (it's listed on the box but not the tube so it was only when buying a new one that it dawned on me) & I'm so frustrated, because I find most sunscreens drying & this one was very moisturizing. Ah well... anyone have a favorite moisturizing sunscreen...

    Just got the okay on Outlast Lipstick & gloss by CoverGirl. (It was like pulling teeth to get it, but I just love this lipstick-- it has no perfumey taste & stays put all day. You do have to reapply the gloss frequently, but you can do that without looking in the mirror!) Leah

    Wow, I'm allergic to sulfa & I never thought of that connection! I'm still symptomatic from the gluten so it's hard to distinguish what's causing what, but I'm going to have to pay more attention. Thanks for the tip. Leah

    Here's the scoop, ladies-- (& I suppose, gentlemen who might need kissable ladies!)-- My reply comes first, then their message, &c. Thank you! This is exactly the information I needed! I only wish you had divulged it a bit more readily. I am truly thrilled that Outlast is safe for me, since it is such a wonderful product. But even...

    In January when I finally went back to the Doctor because I was in extreme pain the Doctor prescribed a medication to stop all acid production in my stomach, she said it sounds like gastritis and I went home with the pills. I found out that the pills prevented the absorption of Vitamin B and that leads to brain damage, decided that that Doctor was not my...

    Thanks for the info-- I ordered some Triumph cards today. I don't eat out all that often, but when I do it's usually ethnic, so that should help some! Leah

    I just bought some amaranth but haven't tried it yet-- sounds great! I do like quinoa though-- did you rinse yours first? It has an off-taste in the grain coating that can be washed away with several rinses of water. If you haven't tried that you might give it another chance. Just a thought! Leah
