I am Back!

Wow, where did a whole month go?  I have been busy working on new recipes in the kitchen.  I have almost perfect a great bread recipe that even my gluten eating friends want to eat. YES!( I am trying to find other, and less expensive flours to make this an economical bread to sell)    With birthdays and Easter it has been the word "go" with little rest.  This week I will be posting pictures of the recipes that have already been posted.  Keep on baking gluten free!

Alternative to Soy Sauce

Chinese night at home can be hard when the soy sauce in your pantry is made with wheat.  Even if your soy sauce doesn't have wheat it most likely has caramel color, which may or may not have a gluten derivative.  What is a mom or dad to do?

The solution for our household is Liquid Aminos.  Liquid Aminos is derived from soy protein.  The Bragg brand of liquid aminos is gluten free.  I find this amazing product at my local Fred Meyer.  Most health food stores should carry one brand or another.  I don't only use this for my stir fry but for marinades as well.  In fact marinading chicken in just the liquid aminos is a delicious way to break up the monotony of another chicken meal. 

Now it is time to bring stir fry night back! 

Cook Book For Beginners (or Experts)

It goes without saying that I love to bake.  It was very hard for me not to be able to bake when I found out that my daughter had a wheat intolerance.  That is when I started this journey.  The only problem was that I found most recipes in books and online were not on par with taste or texture.  I spent a lot of money before I found Bette Hagman's books.  Bette Hagman is the author of The Gluten-Free Gourmet book line.  It is wonderful!  The instructions are easy and the product actually tastes like it is supposed to taste.  So if you are in the market for a great gluten free book look no farther. 
Note: When she calls for corn starch just substitute for potato starch.

I got my books off of Half.com.  It is a bit less expensive then the retail stores.  Enjoy!
