    Sure, I'll be glad to post it! I LOVE a good brownie too. I've found with celiac disease, it's often difficult to find one that tastes like the old fashioned chewy ones that "mama used to make." (These are especially yummy hot out of the oven) Carol Fenster's Chocolate Brownies recipe from her book Special Diet Solutions; pg. 115 t= teaspoon ...

    Hi everyone, I know it's been awhile; I've been taking care of my infant son. The other day I tried Carol Fenster's recipe for chocolate brownies. Oh my goodness, they were soooo good! I know I'm not the only fan of her cookbooks on this site. Has anyone else tried these? I've purchased brownies from Ener-G, Kinnick, and Bob's Red Mill...

    Hi Lisa Thanks for the welcome-back! I know what you mean about suspecting your father had celiac. I honestly believe my mother has it or at the very least is gluten intolerant. A few years ago, she was dx with colon cancer, and she was not yet fifty. She and I have so many of the same symptoms, but she says that she is "too old to change her ways...

    Hey everyone I know I haven't posted much in awhile. I've been spending time with my baby boy. A total joy in my life but a lot of challenges given his health problems and mine. Anyway, (to get back to topic) I'm writing because I'm excited. I was visiting my grandmother the other day, and she was explaining that she was cooking all of these...

    Hi you guys, I know that I should know this by now, but I still get confused. If I am converting a regular recipe to gluten-free using a standard gluten-free flour blend, all I need to do is add xan. gum right? What if I am using a bread mix...like Kinnik's premixed bread mix? Can I add it to a recipe without adding the xan. gum? Sorry...

    Neat website Linda!

    Sure, I'll be glad to post it. I'll pull the recipe out of my cookbook and post it tomorrow! Got to get off-line now...time to go downstairs and be a mommy and wife! -Julie

    Hi there! I made my stuffing with no premade mixes. I will be glad to post the recipe, but it is long. My stuffing is "old fashioned" thanksgiving dressing. It takes awhile to make (in other words, it's not put together in thirty minutes like most other things I make are) However, if you're interested, I'll be glad to post it. Just reply and...

    Diliroth, I buy cream of coconut in a can on the alcohol aisle of any of my local grocery stores (and I live in a fairly rural area myself). It is used in Piña Coladas, so most stores carry it. If your grocery store doesn't, try an alcohol/wine/beverage store. It comes in a slender can and often has a picture of a Piña Colada on the label! (...

    Thank you everyone, and congrats to you all too for your gluten-free successes! My Coconut Cake recipe came from a friend (so I can't call it mine...I wish I was this creative; I'm just happy that I can bake it) Coconut Cake Ingredients: Yellow gluten-free Cake (boxed or recipe) Cool Whip (softened) Cream Cheese (softened block...

    Yayyy! So happy for you Pam! A gluten-free success makes the holidays even better!

    Hi everyone! We were invited by our neighbors to their house for Thanksgiving. I knew that they were cooking almost everything with gluten. So, I made my own dishes and took them with me. (I told my neighbor in advance so she would understand). I made: thanksgiving "dressing" (a.k.a. stuffing) sweet potato souffle (a.k.a. casserole) a...

    I agree with you Pilgrim South! ...I make the pizza crust on pg. 59 of Carol Fenster's book (and it's so quick). In fact, I made it today for lunch! And she gives alternatives which meet all your requirements Jenny.

    Thanks everyone! I'm about to try the biscuits this weekend. (Something I have NEVER been able to make gluten-free). Wish me luck! I'm also going to try the pancakes again and this time add a fruit or chocolate chips or something...hee hee. I'm just tickled with myself. I'm actually asking for more pans and cookbooks for Christmas! ...

    Thank you both! The name of the cookbook is: Special Diet Solutions by Carol Fenster. So far, I am really enjoying it. I don't think I'll be ordering Kinnik's carrot muffins anymore now that I made my zuchinni muffins and they tasted just as good! -Julie
  16. imsohungry
    I have finally found a gluten-free cookbook that has recipes that turn out good when I try to make them! I have made pizza crusts, pancakes, banana nut muffins, and zuchinni muffins and they ALL turned out! For anyone who has read about all of my pitiful previous attempts at cooking, you know what a big deal this is! I've made a couple...

    Jenny, You cracked me up! Sorry I don't have a good recipe. I love hushpuppies, but the closest thing I make to them is a southern version...very crispy and flat, not round and thick. But they sure go well with fish, etc.! Good luck!

    Just to add on to this... Are tapioca starch and tapioca flour the same thing? How about potato starch? I'm curious... In some of my recipes, I have substituted corn starch for potato starch, but I have never substituted tapioca flour for potato starch. Just a little confused. Thanks! -Julie

    OH BOY! I'm so glad you posted this! I was out to eat this afternoon with my sister-in-law and I really didn't eat anything, but they had fried mushrooms on the menu....that was the only thing I really wanted on the whole menu. So, of course, I've been having some "visions" of fried mushrooms dipped in horseradish sauce all afternoon. YUMMY! ...

    Hi Julie! I had a chiropractor get me caught in the same type "circle" you speak of. He came up with many things wrong with me and then wanted to put me on many different products that he sold (and like your case, he wasn't covered by my insurance). I did it for a few months, and then the money (and my patience) ran out. If you can find a good...

    Thanks for the tip! I was just thinking today (when I saw the Pam commercial) that there ought to be a cheap way that I can make my own at home. We've got a dollar store in town....it's worth the dollar just to try it!

    This isn't that funny, but.... I was out to eat at a dine-in restaurant with a friend. I stressed to the waiter that I could not have wheat or flour. I wanted a burger plain to eat like a steak with no sauces, gravies, or spices. As he walked away, I told him again that all I wanted was the burger and the plate and nothing else. He was so proud...

    Thank you all so much for your support. I've just had a chance to sit at the computer for a minute. Tiffany, I appreciate your advice and empathy. I totally agree with you on the "little boxes" comment; I think doctors lose patience with themselves sometimes (when they can't easily solve a problem) and take their frustrations out on the patients...

    Thanks for the recipe! Question: You teach gluten-free cooking classes? I don't live anywhere near you, but if I did, you better believe I'd attend! Blessings. -Julie
  25. imsohungry
    Thank you both so much for replying. I could "read" the empathy in your posts. (((HUGS))) to you both. Thank you for the links. Do you think it would be to bold of me to e-mail my neurologist some of the links and research that I've found? Honestly, she brushed me off so quickly. She said that without a positive biopsy, it wasn't Celiac anyway...
