I’ll have a side of sweet potatoes with my brownie. Really?? Never in my life would I have uttered the words sweet potato and brownies in the same sentence let alone in the same baking mix! But there’s a brownie mix out there with Sweet Potatoes in it — and my picky family got a chance to try them out.
Thursday will be here before you know it. I am assigned to bake gluten-free pumpkin and apple pies. But do you have all the ingredients you need and are they safe? I’ve got a few reminders so you can save yourself from a last-minute rush to the store.
Yellow cake mix worth a try, but I’m here to make sure you expect the unexpected!
This week I did it. I ventured out beyond your typical gluten-free, white flour. I broke into my brand new bag of sorghum flour. That may not sound very exciting to some of you. But for a gluten-free baker (and I’m using that term VERY loosely), trying different flours is important. As I understand it, finding the perfect mix of gluten-free flours can be the difference between a favorite bread and a flop. So…which one was my bread?
Betty…Betty…Betty…not only have you opened your arms to those who can’t eat gluten — but you’ve made great gluten-free mixes your first time out!
Big things seem to always be happening in “gluten-free-land”. That continues to be the case this month with one big company and three up-and-comers — all with their eyes on gluten-free foods.
Proof to never let your gluten-free guard down. Just when you thought it was safe to judge food from the gluten-free identifier on the shelf, think again. This luxury of a gluten-free product sticker on the shelf, identifying gluten-free items, was incorrect for the first time I’ve ever seen; incorrectly marking a product that had wheat — as gluten-free.
When it was time this fall to make some gluten-free holiday cookies to share with other celiac families, I was stumped. I didn’t want to just do the same thing over and over again (sugar cookies or holiday wreaths). But then I found the right recipe…which became an adventure in baking for me…
We have all likely had it: high hopes of making the perfect gluten-free version of your favorite recipe. Sometimes it works great, others, not so much. In my case, my biggest challenge is making yeast bread — without a bread machine. Follow my mission to find the perfect gluten-free hamburger bun recipe.
