    Both Gluten AND Sulfite Free Recipes?

    Rice Dream uses a barley enzyme to process it. I'm not sure if it's the shelf-stable or the refrigerated one. One of them uses barley and the other doesn't. I just don't buy rice dream. I use Pacific Foods rice milk.

    ISO cake decorating tips

    One of my biggest challenges with cake decorating was that I could not use butter, margarine, shortening, or milk. I pretty much only had rice milk to work with and I couldn't make it thick enough. But I have since discovered a soy-free shortening and margarine and I think I will be able to do...

    Green grocery bags - do you?

    I noticed that at least here, the new reusable shopping bags now fold up nice and tight and have a snap on them. I didn't want to buy new ones so I used a little scrap fabric and velcro and made it so mine can fold up too--and I added a bit of "me" to them as well. This was much cheaper and...

    Muffins with Gluten-Free Oats?

    Most oats actually do contain gluten although they do not contain them naturally. They are almost always grown/stored/processed with wheat and there is a large amount of cross-contamination. If you do not buy oats that are grown and stored separately they will almost always contain gluten.

    Garlic Press

    I love my garlic press. I have the Pampered Chef one which also comes with a tool to remove the skin. And honestly, I am just not coordinated with knives. I have cut myself more times than I can count. My garlic press has saved me loads of time and frustration.

    What utensil could you NOT do without?

    I'm with you freefallin. When I can salsa I need to mince several bulbs. No slicing for me.

    What utensil could you NOT do without?

    My garlic press and food chopper. I can remember what life was like before I acquired those blessed luxuries! They have saved me so much time, and thus saved me from the headaches I would have had from kids whining at my feet for extended periods of time while I cooked dinner.

    Need side for sweet pork chops

    Great suggestions! I ended up using sticky rice this time and making the pork/sauce into a stir fry-type meal. (I needed to go grocery shopping so I couldn't make some of those other things). I really wanted to do the asparagus with it, and the potatoes but I didn't have any asparagus, or bleu...

    Need side for sweet pork chops

    This is the recipe I am using. It has cinnamon, nutmeg, syrup from canned peaches, brown sugar, vinegar, and cloves. The recipe says to put peach halves on the chops, but is there anything else I should/could put in the slow cooker to "beef" up the meal? What sides might go well with it? Would...

    Preparing meat for a casserole

    I usually pre-cook onions, celery, carrots--anything crunchy because DH doesn't like having anything crunchy in his casserole.

    Basket for steaming rice

    I just bought a steamer pot and basket to steam sticky rice in. Are you supposed to wash the basket with soap or just water? I don't know what it's made of. We got it fairly cheaply at an Asian market nearby. Also, any special tips on how to use it? Can you steam anything else in it?

    Muffins with Gluten-Free Oats?

    Thanks Michael. I've got some of Bob's GF oats. They seem to be tougher than regular oats, which is why I asked the question. I wanted the oats in there to add fiber to them. I went ahead and just substituted them (I soaked them a good while first). I guess I could also blend the oats into flour...

    Muffins with Gluten-Free Oats?

    I want to make some applesauce muffins with oats but most recipes call for quick oats. My son has Celiac and can only eat gluten-free oats, which do not come in the form of quick oats. My son is 2 and can't chew his food very well. He can't chew carrots or apples or meats or anything like that...

    Beef Bones

    Mine always stink. I don't know what it is, but I think that's just how they are. They made an excellent broth.

    How do you prepare Quinoa?

    I cook it just like I would cook rice. I even use my rice cooker for it. Make sure and rinse it before cooking or else it will have a bitter edge to it. I like cooking it in broth for extra flavor. You can add tomatoes, hot peppers, salt, pepper, onion, cilantro and lime for a nice Spanish rice...

    Last thing that made you smile?

    When my two year old son walked up to me and tugged on my arms and said, "We fogotta pray! Fold your arms!" And then he bowed his head and said a sweet little prayer.
