i made this tonight. Molten Dulce de Leche Cakes. i found it in the aug issue of Bon Appetit. page 101. the reason im posting this is cuz some people ask me if you can take a reg recipe & make it gf. well, the answer is " most definitely!" i did. just now, with this. it came out wonderful. very yummy!! hubby said i should add a touch of salt next time round. the flour mix i used is as follows: 1 3/4 cup rice flour, 1/4 cup sweet rice flour, 3/4 cup corn starch, 2 tblsp tapioca flour(starch,same thing) & 1 tsp xanthen gum. mix the bageebees out of it. now this is for smaller stuff like this. i dont recommend it for bigger things like banana breads & things like that. use the whole 2 cups of rice flour. no sweet rice flour. the rest of the recipe is the same.i use a straight sweet rice blend for small stuff like cookies & gnocci(sp) not for scones, yes, it seems complicated & i guess it
is,but thats gf for ya. but hey,.... it can be done. & with a smile:) try the recipe .

i was making this lovely sandwich for breakfast this morning when i asked myself " have you told anyone about this incredible bread?" & sadly my answer was" no:(" so, i am here sharing my breakfast with you:) the bread is from "kinnikinnick" they came out with a newer & better recipe. WOW! i know i say that a lot but i dont know how to spell the sound that usually comes out my face when i am tasting a yummy thing. but this bread is fab!!! im tellin ya! you'll love it. i love my bread toasted so this whole "needing to toast gf bread" is great with me & i have had it not toasted. its great then too!! great price, great size( compared to other brands) incredible taste, it holds up to whatever i got goin on on it!! im texting & eating this thing at the same time so i can test whether it will last hangin out for a bit.oh, the makins..... roast beast slathered in mayo, thin sliced red
onions, swiss cheese, more mayo to hold the onion in place & lettece for more crunch. yummmm!

tonight we are trying a couple items we picked up from gf joes grand opening. mushroom florentine pizza from contes pasta and mini crab bites from blue horizon. pizza had a couple extra toppins put on to suit our tastebuds and was excellent! the crab bites were served with a sweet chili aioli and tasted wonderful, but had an overly mushy texture. getting to work in a gf market will open opportunites for more samplings! lovin' it!

the real adventure begins;)

ok, ive figured it out!!! oh, so much has happened since my last post but im going to talk about whats happening now!!! i get to work at what is going to be the nations largest gluten free grocery store. it opens july 11th!!! i finally get to do my dream!! i get to talk gf, i get to be gf, i get to let others talk gf, i get to see the lastest, greatest gf food thats out there! i get to (when i remember) do a review of all the stuff thats there. this has been a dream of mine for at least 2 yrs. i still have my big goal of an all gluten free tea room. oh yes! it will happen!! my goal is to have it before or on my 50th birthday. i just turned 45 so ive got some time to prepare for this. but for right now, its a grocery store called G.F. Joes here in tacoma. oh just the story on how this all came about is incredible!!! ive had to learn trust like never before & know that theres this plan & it will be worked out i just need to be still, dont complain, & wait. oh, how good God is!!! what do i expect to gain from this?! well, more knowledge of course! satisfaction! the satisfaction in knowing i get to make a difference in someones life, to encourage that person that there is so much hope & fun in being gluten free! but you have to let it be a fun adventure! it is fun here, & like i said on my fb page, i intend to prove it to you!! its good here. its fun too!!! i will be letting you know how this all goes. & what great things there are to eat. God bless!!!
