The Constant Search For Bread

I'm not buying online....yet. The girls at work (one with Celiac, another with a severe wheat allergy) have said that there's all kinds of places in the area that sell gluten-free foods, so I'll exhaust my local options before going online.

I toasted the Ener-G brown rice bread this morning, and ate that with some peanut butter and jelly. It was slightly better...only slightly. I'd say it was more bland, and it seemed to shrink. So, it was filling, but tasted like cardboard. Lunch was a Trader Joe's rice bowl, and I had quite a few pieces of chocolate, because I have a candy jar sitting on my desk *groan.* I did cheat a bit and had some Kroger brand ginger snaps that I had stashed in my desk, but, eh. I'm in the mood today where I just don't care.

 

One of the women at work told me to try Ezekiel bread from Kroger. She said I'd have to toast it, but it was better than Ener-G, so I might try that. And my mom and I found a recipie for potato bread that we're going to bake on Sunday, which means I have to find xanthan gum.

 

*sigh* With the holidays coming, gluten-free is going to suck.

I'll have to find gluten-free stuffing for me for Thanksgiving...

For some things, it's cheaper to buy on-line, especially if you buy in bulk. I buy most of my food from our local Kroger and Whole Foods. The only thing I buy regularly on-line are cases of Chebe bread. I ordered some bagels and bread a week or so ago, just to try something new. I'm sorry I did now because I found a local store/restaurant in which every item sold and served is gluten free. I bought a couple of things from there, but they were out of this world expensive. One thing I bought was a loaf of amaranth bread. I can't wait to make a sandwich with it.

Ezekiel bread is not gluten free. You can do a search on this site for "Ezekiel" and you'll see several discussions about it.

I make an all gluten free T-giving dinner and there's nothing sucky about it. You can make stuffing with cornbread or any of the gluten-free rice breads and nobody would even know it's gluten-free. I make pecan pies, pumpkin pies, cookies, cakes, chocolate cheesecake along with the turkey and all the regular sides. It's great.

BTW, if you do have celiac disease, the rest of your family should be tested because it's genetic and you got it from one of your parents. If you have any siblings, they might have it, too.

I looked at the Ezekiel site earlier, and I saw posts about it on the forum...are even their "gluten free" stuff not gluten free? They had a special section for gluten-free stuff...

I think my mom has it, since she has a lot of the same symptoms I do, but I don't think she would ever change her diet. My sister and dad are both fine, no reactions at all.

I also found the website of a gluten-free bakery in Metro-Detroit I want to go check out! Maybe they'll have bread!!

Are you talking about the Food for Life website? If so, then yes, their gluten free items are gluten free. But the Ezekiel bread itself is not...unless they have a new one that I don't know about. I don't think that is the case, though, because the Ezekiel bread, based on a Scripture in the Bible, has wheat and barley in it. It wouldn't be "Ezekiel" bread if it didn't have those ingredients.

Ezek 4:9, "Also take for yourself wheat, barley, beans, lentils, millet, and spelt; put them into one vessel, and make bread of them for yourself..."
