I can count on one hand the food I miss that contains gluten. That is because most of the what I miss I can make an identical gluten free version. But bread is another story. My first cooking job was when I was 18 baking bread for Ina Garten at her store The Barefoot Contessa […]

  • Our Family Is His - Oy, I can’t bake anything GFCF that has the word bread in it. OK, so, after the wonderful starter is “started” and you are ready to bake, can you give us the blow by blow on how to do this? This seems to be my weakness. Regular bread I can do all day long. I can’t get a rise out of GFCF bread no matter what I do to it. Am I not leaving it long enough, kneading it long enough/too long, what am I doing wrong? Sigh, could you give us your technique for baking GFCF with this starter?

  • Tamara - It is amazing how well kids adapt isn’t it?? My oldest was the hardest to get to go gluten free, especially since he wasn’t sick like his sister, and he knew what he was missing out on, lol. But he came around quickly, and doesn’t fuss about it at all.

    Everyone always asks me what I’m going to do when my other kids, who don’t get violently ill with gluten, become teenagers and want to eat “normal”. I figure we’ll cross that bridge when we get there…but at the very least, they’ll be armed with the awareness of how what they eat effects how they feel. They may cheat as teenagers, but I think they’ll come back to a healthier lifestyle as they mature.

    Or they’ll just gorge themselves silly on McDonalds just to make me cringe,lol.ReplyCancel

  • Cathy - Our kids are amazing! I have sent gluten free pizza and a dessert to parties and heard other kids saying, “Hey, why did she get the good stuff?” We have also been amazed at how many parents have gone out of their way to provide gf alternatives.ReplyCancel
