Allen actually found Chebe mix in our local Albertson's. It has no corn,dairy or soy,which are other food alergies I have beside being Gluten intolertant. It's made w/ tapoica flour. It was so good, I can't believe I actually got to have pizza for supper. I loved breads in any form so it was really hard to give it up. I had to go cold turkey last year. It was either all or nothing. I've been GF for a year now. It's been worth it since the gut pain,terrible gas rumbling thru my gut is gone, & no more sudden weight loss.
It's colder this winter than last year. W/ my FM I carve carbs.I got a big box of GF mixes from my s/in/law for my b-day. I finally getting around to trying some of them. I did bake thecinnamon raisin bread by Bob's Red Mill. It's a very heavy cake like,almost like old fashioned fruit cake. It made 13 slices.I bagged of some of them in baggies & dropped in a big ziploc bag to go into the freezer. It took 1/1/2 hours to rise instead of th 30 min's as therecipe said. thiswas in front of a warm oven w/ a bowl covered w/ a towel. I found on a link not to use the vinegar,it may rise better w/o it. It does have sorghum flour in it. I have to eat it again when I haven't eaten lentils the same day. I had terrible gas that day. I did rinse off my lentils after soaking them.
I didn't like the chocolate cake by Red Mill. It was NASTY,NASTY,tasting. The fava beans gave it a bitter taste.I pawned them off on allen so they weren't a total loss.
Elana's Pantry has a better recipe for GF choc. cake w/bananas & egg whites. It has a mousse like texture. It's my favo. recipe,a life saver for choc. craving. The choc. brownies are made w/either cashew or almond butter. It's better if U use the dark choc. chips. I cut them up into small squares,put them in baggies in the frezer in a big ziploc bag. I then have a treat for when I'm craving brownies. Warming them up in the m/w for 15 seconds melts the choc. chips which tastes better. These are very rich because of the nut butter. also very expensive since they take a a 1# of nut butter.About $10 for a # of it. Her recipes are good, I haven't ran into a bad recipe of all I have tried.
Will make granola bars w/a recipe I found on another GF site this week.
