Reposting this for the bakers in Alaska feeding the Man on A Mission. I am so grateful to you. Attempting gluten-free for people you are cooking for is a true act of service and love.If you had to make a list of food -- basic subsistence foods -- to live on while you learned how to bake gluten free, what would be on it? One good, easy Peanut Butter Cookie recipe. No flour, no weird

Chewy Oatmeal Cookies just like Mom made, only gluten-free! I've been testing commercial flour mixes and my good friend Amber steered me to this recipe. She recommended Better Batter (betterbatter.org) as her flour of choice for desserts because, "desserts are designed for deliciousness, and so using a flour low in nutrients isn't an issue." People, these cookies are delicious and the recipe

At the top of my stack today is a recipe for G-F Bacon Corn Griddle Cakes inspired by Pinterest! I saw another recipe that looked so good it had to be modified to G-F. To add another layer, today is National Pancake Day sponsored by IHOP and they are offering free pancakes for donations to charity...Since IHOP does not yet offer g-f pancakes for me, I'll say home and in my own little

I've heard that Pinterest = Picture Porn and I know why. I'm addicted to the food photos on that site. There was one recipe yesterday that I just had to adapt to G-F and it is like a gastro-epiphany in the mouth, not kidding.Heat 1 qt water in a saucepan to boiling-remove from heat. Drop in 1/3 package of Pad Thai noodles and set aside to soften. In a wok or saute pan, heat 2 Tbs. olive oil,

I haven't pulled together many soups for Winter, yet we love them.

The Christmas package for the Mission Man in Alaska finally got shipped last week and today I got the email that said: "Got the package, opened everything. Love it all. Thanks." I'm kinda glad that he opened it early because waiting until Christmas might have made most of the gluten-free food inedible! I sent chocolate dipped pretzels, thin mints, oreos, and caramels.

I've been craving a g-f version of Campbell's Bean with Bacon since I got a glimpse of it in the Thanksgiving shopping trek.Immediately upon seeing the can, I was transported back in time to the day it was introduced to me.

Thanksgiving Pie! I'm headed to another party--this one with new neighbors who think celebrating with pie on Thanksgiving is not gratitude enough. My kind of people! Baked a g-f crust, layered in chocolate ganache, filled it with Grandma's vanilla pie filling and then topped it all with whipped cream, toasted pecans, caramel and more chocolate.I hope it tastes as delicious as it looks. If so,

Whole Foods makes their own brand, but my experience is that it doesn't take much more effort to handmake gf crusts than the old g-filled kind, so I'm making my own. These crusts freeze great, so I'm doing them early. As I've said before, the only skill set

Sweet rolls for the Holidays that are gluten-free? I tried some new recipes this evening and the guys are fat and happy. I started with my standard whole-grain bread recipe because the whole grains (while still white looking) will last longer and be tastier than a loaf made with purely starch flours. I wish I could recall where I watched a video on forming g-f cinnamon rolls by patting out

My good friend and new GF Mom, Rinda recommends this recipe for gluten-free kids. She showed me one of her cupcakes baked and it was beautiful. The recipe did make more than the 12 large cupcakes. She filled them as full as she dared, and still had enough batter for about six more.I love recipes that come well recommended, particularly for new people who are not accustomed to diverse flours.

The 2011 Mr. Darceys Guy Camping Trip turned out great!It was six guys (three of them under 12--two of them ages 4 and 2,) in a pop-up travel trailer for two nights and three days. No Pride, No Prejudice!Hiking, floating, hunting--for everything but animals-- killing (stabbing the top of a pristine jar of peanut butter is tradition!) and cooking their own food.What a great way to get back to

It’s College Guy off to Alaska on his church mission that is the topic of the posts this week. I'm sorting and packing, both socks and memories. I blogged my angst when the first birdy flit the nest and I'm feeling similarly as this one flies off. Of my three children, number two (Mission-bound Guy - aka College guy) was the toughest of the three to raise. (Knock on wood as we're only

I think the best birthday presents come late. When the party's all over and all the presents have been toweled off (the college guy's idea for cheap wrapping paper) and the calm settles back in, then, when a gf bff brings me a birthday present, it's compounded happiness!Particularly when it's the richest, most decadent pie known to the planet earth!

G-F Yummy Nut CrustI baked this recipe first in 2008, and this is proof that either my baking or photo skills have improved.I have refined the recipe a little with my education of new grains. So here is the improved recipe. In my blender I put 1/2 cup almonds, 1/2 cup oatmeal (g-f) and 1/2 cup g-f flour (I used my healthier featherlight mix). I whizzed it on high until all the almonds

Since posting this the first time, I have discovered the extra secret.Burn the Beans!Okay, not specifically burned, but on 425 for at least an hour (maybe two) without foil to cook off the excess moisture and really compact the delicious flavors.

This is a repost of a recipe first attempted in March of 2010. I did not like it at the time as the finished product tasted a little prefabricated due to the starch content. Since then, I have purchased GF Bisquick and this recipe tastes and bakes up remarkably similar. So, here I am reposting it for everyone's monetary benefit--so that we can afford to make all those recipes that I have been

UPDATE: As of August 2011, General Mills has not moved their Kix manufacturing to their gluten-free site, so their lawyers will not allow them to label the product Gluten-Free. I hope the FDA changes to the g-f ppm ratings will alleviate the legal mumbo jumbo that makes me wonder if "made in a plant that also..." is only liability speaking.

My next door neighbor is from India and she introduces and encourages me to eat more Indian food everyday--all the time. Dosas and Pakodas are made with rice flour and chickpea flour and most delicious when she makes them!

GF Hamburger Buns? Yum! Why Have I waited so long? I have hoarded these adorable pans for a very long time trying to get up the nerve to bake buns. I don't know why I have never done it in my long years of g-f bakedness? Perhaps it was all the blogs floating out there telling me how hard they are to make--that they turn out dry and crumbly or too dense. And the fact that my people make

40% of American's can't tolerate gluten? Gluten-intolerance is an epidemic in Europe? This article blames Monsanto for gluten intolerances. Intriguing? GMO genetically modified has made America ill?

I feel lately that celiac disease isn't genetic, but communicable. If you are near me, you are at risk! Duck and cover people, 'cause it's probably also viral--computer bugged! The proof? If you are reading this post, you probably have celiac disease or are related to someone with it! See what I mean?

I first made this recipe on vacation when my sister found gf Bisquick for a buck a box on sale. It was surprisingly moist and delicious, so I thought I'd bake it for the girl's group at Bunko tonight. I started with my traditional recipe,Lorraine's cornbread--how can a gal with 8 celiac kids be wrong? I substituted the regular g-f flour with Bisquick and it was delicious. 1 cup Bisquick1 cup corn

This g-f granola bar is quick and versatile because you can use any dry cereal you have on hand and there is no baking necessary.

Okay, 8 ounces of Heath toffee bits costs $3.75 and today i found out I can make double that much with only two ingredients and a little time. I took Grandma's heaviest candy pan, the pressure cooker (you know what one I mean) and I put one square of butter (1/2 cup) and 1/2 cup sugar and while stirring constantly (even whisking) I heated until the two melted and combined.

Three months ago, hundreds from the celiac community rallied in Washington, DC at the Gluten-Free Labeling Summit. The goal was quite simple, get FDA's attention, show the agency that people who must follow a gluten-free diet must have clear, consistent labeling for gluten-free foods.At the ACDA's urging, FDA's Deputy Commissioner for Foods, Michael Taylor, made an unannounced visit, and

Our family broke records at the City of Home celiac blood testing. We had 22 samples taken in the space of three hours and of the 22 people tested, and aside from the eight already on g-f maintenance diets, three more of our family are unfortunate enough to have tested positive for celiac disease.

I've been craving a g-f oreo pie since the two boys--the Mr's Darcey--got in a bidding war for one at the last church social. They lost the bid to the table next to us, but they did manage to push the price up nicely for the fundraiser for girl's camp. I couldn't figure out how how spending $180 dollars for a pie could make me so hungry for it, as the guys cut the pie and passed it around to

It's family reunion time again, one last week, one this week and one next. Can't wait to see those Aiken relatives who note at the bottom of the invitation: "It's a PotLuck! Please label your food items if they are gluten free." So, the plan is to fix a huge taco salad, take carmel popcorn for munching, the old standby "gobsmacked's" oreo cookies, and the tart, delicious lemon bars. I am also

Recipe update: July 2011-- I have made this twice since the initial invention and when I made it this weekend for the family reunion I pressed half a batch of the recipe for (Living Without's shortbread Lintzer cookie recipe) into the 9 x 13 pan, which I had lined the pan with wax paper. The crust does not expand, so make your own judgement as to how thick you want it. I baked the rest into

Well, College Guy finally got his mission call and he is going to Anchorage, Alaska for two years. We are very excited, but we are wondering about gluten-free food there. Having him home working to fix all the household nuisance jobs has been good for me because I'm cooking up a storm. Today the cousins came to visit and to work alongside him and no one wonders any longer why he eats so often

College guy is preparing to serve a church mission and he is earning money over the summer for the costs. It's been great to have him at my every beck and call for whatever task I have, but the guy can work hard labor for eight hours straight and the wood splitting that I expected to take weeks was finished in three days, so now I'm inventing tasks. The dream rock garden may get finished, the
