If dad's concerned that you may have problems, let him have the breads still, and you can do things like take a head of lettuce and use lettuce leaves as tortillas for wraps or to wrap around a burger. For breakfast, check your buckwheat pancake mix; buckwheat is naturally gluten free :) Smoothies are great for breakfast, or yogurt with homemade granola and fruit is also awesome. I hope this helps; the prices we've seen on things is higher than we're used to as well. Oh, and if recipes call for xanthan gum, it looks like it's expensive, but you use so little it'd last forever. Or you can get flaxseed, grind it up to a powder, and use it as a 1:1 ratio substitute for the xanthan gum :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10541303894363720054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-668857818442178009.post-90529113083499134892013-07-26T16:46:58.337-04:002013-07-26T16:46:58.337-04:00Dad asked me last week--or maybe before the get-to...Dad asked me last week--or maybe before the get-together--if I wanted to try going gluten-free. He had just seen something about it and forwarded it to me because it listed symptoms of gluten intolerance. He said he ran down the list and saw lots of things that were "Melanie".<br /><br />The gluten-free stuff (baking-related) is expensive. :( We've been pricing some stuff and don't know what to do. A small loaf of bread we had picked up for J&J was almost $6.00!<br /><br />Can you download the free e-books on your tablet? I have Kindle for PC so I do it when I can. I haven't seen any gluten-free ones yet for the Nook.<br /><br />Guess we'll have to start sharing some new recipes, huh? :/Melanie Pikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00323878496621771920noreply@blogger.com
