gf stuff
Hey mom, a girl that I know posted the following in her blog, so I’m just forwarding this information to you in case any of it is helpful.

Since I am some sort of anti-gluten crusader, I figured I’d just make a big post that’s easy to reference. I’ll be adding stuff later.
If you cut out gluten 100%, you should feel better within a few days. After about a month of avoiding it I stopped missing it and stopped cheating. It’s really not as bad as I thought it would be though. Feeling healthy again is just so awesome. You do have to cut out ALL gluten though. When your villi start growing back, you will have worse attacks when glutened. There will actually be something for your immune system to attack again.
Some people need to cut out dairy as well for a while until their intestines heal. Your immune system attacks the villi in your intestines, and the parts that digest dairy are on the tips. They usually grow back
in a few months.
Meats:
Avoid deli meat. Turkey often has gluten added, plus they don’t always clean the slicer between cutting.
Glazed ham can have gluten.
Malt vinegar needs to be avoided, and obviously barley and rye in addition to regular wheat.
Oats must be gluten free.
Fast food is pretty much out unless you’re brave.
Sauces tend to have gluten.
Canned soup almost always has gluten. Progresso makes gluten free cream of mushroom.
Brands:
Udi and Rudi both make good bread. I prefer Udi’s whole grain. Whole Foods has unfrozen breads with lots of options, though it’s more expensive. They also have an awesome flour selection.
I love DeBole’s Corn noodles but my cub no longer has them. :(
Trader Joe’s noodles are good. Their bread is not. Almond meal is really cheap there.
Market Pantry’s bread mixes
LaChoy soy sauce
Lea & Perrin’s worcestershire
Annie’s Rice Mac and Cheese
Arrowhead Mills pizza crust mix is like $8 but fairly good
Glutino cheese crackers
Kraft has good labeling when it comes to gluten
Chex
Rice Krispies have a gf version now
Kinnickik or whatever is terrible imo.
Flours:
Brown rice flour blends are good.
I like to always use more than one flour, as each flour has some disadvantages. White rice flour is really gritty and bitter when used alone. Almond flour tends to cause a bumpy appearance.
Almond flour is awesome for sweet baked goods. Mix in some other flour for texture though.
Tapioca starch is good in pizza dough.
Buy rice and tapioca starch in the ethnic section if possible, they’re much cheaper.
Coconut flour is delicious but I’m trying to figure out how to incorporate the extra moisture.
Sorghum flour tastes really whole wheaty.
Buckwheat pancakes are supposed to be great but I haven’t made them yet.
Hash Brown Quiche
Ingredients:
3 cups diced hash brown potatoes
1/3 cup butter, melted
seasoning salt to taste
1 cup diced cooked ham

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
2. Press hash browns onto the bottom and sides of a 9 inch pie dish. Drizzle with melted butter, and sprinkle with seasoning salt. Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until beginning to brown.
3. In a small bowl, combine ham, onion and shredded cheese. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and a little seasoning salt. When crust is ready, spread ham mixture on the bottom, then cover with egg mixture.
4. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C.) Bake in preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until filling is puffed and golden brown.
Flourless Chocolate Brownies
Estimated Times
Preparation Time: 20 mins
Cooking Time: 35 mins
Cooling Time: 4 hrs 30 mins refrigerating
Servings: 16 brownies
Ingredients
2 cups (12-oz. pkg.) NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE® Semi-Sweet Chocolate Morsels, divided
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) butter, cut into pieces
2 tablespoons water
1/4 cup NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE® Baking Cocoa
4 large eggs
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

PREHEAT oven to 300º F. Line 9-inch-square baking pan with foil. Grease bottom and sides.

BAKE for 35 to 40 minutes or until risen in center and edges start to get firm and shiny (center may still move and appear underbaked). Cool completely in pan on wire rack (center may sink slightly). Cover; refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.
PLACE cream in small, uncovered, microwave-safe dish. Microwave on HIGH (100%) power for 25 to 30 seconds. Add remaining 1/2 cup morsels. Let stand for 2 to 3 minutes; stir until chocolate is melted.

Lace Pocket Hanger by xela66 on Flickr.
Isn’t this just the prettiest hanging pocket organizer you have ever seen? Make me want to tea dye all my lacy remnants.

I randomly stumbled on your blog, 45 pages later and I’m IN LOVE with your blog. It’s simply WONDERFUL and I want to organize everything in my room now.
I have a million tiny tins and boxes and baskets that I intend for storage and then never know what to put…
Repurpose a CD rack into a tupperware lid organizer! Brilliant tip from those clever folks at Better Homes & Gardens.
Tension rod cupboard organizers. Is there nothing these little pieces of springs and metal cannot do? I am a sucker for anything DIY and customizable and thanks to Martha Stewart this little project is both.
