My mom and I use Kinnikinnick's all purpose flour mix to make things and they turn out fine.

Have you been diagnosed with celiac disease?

This is a great breadstick recipe: <Oh I guess I should read others posts before I post...> Oh well, I have a dairy free option!

Soft and Chewy Breadsticks

1/4 cup shorting

3 tablespoons honey

2 eggs

1 tablespoon yeast

1 cup unflavored yogurt (So Nice makes a dairy free, gluten free yogurt)

1/2 cup potato starch

1 1/2 cups cornstarch

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

2 teaspoons baking powder

2 teaspoons xanthan gum

3/4 teaspoon salt

3/4 teaspoon vinegar

Topping: Kosher salt and/or other herbs, sesame seeds, ect.

Directions: Preheat oven to 350. Combine all ingredients. Mix well to remove lumps. The dough will be quite wet. Place dough in a pastry bag with a large round tip (or use a plastic lunch bag with a bit of a corner cut off). Pipe dough into long strips (5-6 inches is nice) on greased baking sheet. Sprinkle with toppings. Bake 10-12 minties, until golden brown.

I've done some reading of the benefits of certain foods and I "try" to eat these foods. While I was doing my Master's in Biology some of my friends were doing research on certain foods and their benefits such as reducing cancer cells and heart disease. From my knowlege I've come to this conclusion to stay healthy:

I've decided that these foods are very important to have in your diet:

- Colourful fruits and vegetables. Particularly, broccoli, blueberries, cranberries, and spinach.

- Garlic

- Onions

- Lean meat such as fish, extra lean beef, chicken, game meat (if possible), and free range organic meat (if possible).

It would be a good idea to eat less of:

- Carbohydrates and starchy foods (rice, potatoes, corn)

- Fatty meats

- Sugar

- Salt

- Dairy products

And try to excersise at least several times a week.

At least they leave! The Nasties here just go right on whispering, giggling, and looking at me. If I try to draw them into conversation ("hey, how's your baby?") , one of them will say, "Do you mind? We're talking." Ugh. (I'd take it the same way you do--it's seventh grade all over again. And it was bad enough the first time!)

Lets see...

Type Bs - rarely harried by the desire to obtain a wildly increasing number of things or participate in an endless growing series of events in an ever-decreasing amount of time

Type Bs

never suffer from a sense of time urgency with its accompanying impatience

feel no need to display or discuss either their achievements or accomplishments unless such exposure is demanded by the situation

play for fun and relation

can relax without guilt

Hope that helps

It stands for Introvert, Sensing, Feeling, Judging. If you want i'll explain each.

In the third test I got personality B. I'm not sure what that means.

What does your score mean?

You seem to have a Type B personality. Your personality draws characteristics from each of the other personality types, that is, Type A and Type C. Either you adjust your behavior depending on the situation, or you tend to be moderated in your attitudes. In any case, you are the most balanced of the three personality types.

In the second test I got ISFJ. I'm not sure what that stands for.

In the first test I got "ENFJ - Extroverted Intuitive Feeling Judging".

Qualitative analysis of your type formula

You are:

moderately expressed extrovert

moderately expressed intuitive personality

distinctively expressed feeling personality

moderately expressed judging personality

I've used the recipe for the bean flour one... I'll post it anyway:

Bean Flour Torillas

1/3 cup light bean flour

1/2 cup cornstarch

2 Tablespoons tapioca flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 eggs or 3 egg whites, or 1/2 cup liquid egg subsitute

1 1/2 cups water

Oil for brushing skillet

In a medium bowl, place the bean flour, cornstarch, tapioca flour, and salt. Whisk together. Add the eggs and beat together until smooth. Slowly beat in the water. Let rest in the fridge for at least 20 minutes. Heat a 9" skillet or frypan over high heat, brushing with oil. Be sure it is hot enough for water to dance on the surface before starting to cook the tortillas. Spoon in about 4 tablespoons of batter or enough to cover the bottom of the skillet. Cook until the bottom of the tortilla is golden brown and the edges curl and the top seems dry, Turn and barely cook the other side.

This recipe is from "The Gluten-Free Gourmet Cooks Fast and Healthy" by Bette Hagman, p. 235.

I'm really sorry that you got sick

I guess when I was warming some bread on the paper towel it must of soaked thru or something. BLAHHH.

I use McCormick and Club House. Both companies have warned that the risk of cross contamination is greater with larger containers. So I recommend buying smaller containers.

I just tried the star rating thing for the first time I'm not sure what it does. A message said sending rating or something like that.

There is spell check now? Oh I found it! Yay!

Your a 5 Karen! How do you make that picture different than the one in the threads?

Well then I would have been at 1 for sure! LMAO!

Oh... I had that star rating thing all wrong. I thought it was rate the picture... Silly me. I haven't rated anyone.

I use Ragu Regular with Mushrooms with no problems.

I crave nachos with cheddar cheese. Mmmmm. It may be gluten-free, but I still can't have it because of the cheese.

It's nice to see you back. I hope that the Crohn's goes into remission.

Item #2 - pretend that anything with gluten is like raw chicken. if a piece of raw chicken dropped into our salad, you wouldn't pick it out and serve it to us. if you cut raw chicken with a knife, you wouldn't just give us that knife for something else.

Good luck. They will be over before you know it! Then you can relax!

I agree, friendly customer service is really important.
