Review of Mi-Del Gluten Free Sandwich Cookies

Last weekend Fred and I went to Grocery Outlet. Not only are their prices good on most things, you just never know what you'll find there.  It's sort of a foodie adventure.

Sometimes I find great deals on gluten-free foods, too. 

Like the time they had gluten-free pasta for half what it costs to purchase at any of the other grocery stores in town. So I bought enough to last us for several months. 

The person behind me in line commented that I must really like pasta.  I explained that it was a really good price, so I was stocking up.  I'm not sure she believed me.

Stocking up when I find a good price is how I shop, then I plan meals around what I have in the freezer and in the pantry that was purchased cheap.

Back to last weekend's trip.  They had some gluten-free vanilla sandwich cookies for 99 cents per package.  That's about 1/5 the cost of the gluten-free sandwich cookies at the co-op.  I hadn't tried them before, but I had tried other Mi-Del gluten-free cookies and liked them.  So I purchased, um, "a few" bags.  OK, more then a few.  They'll keep well in the freezer.

These cookies are soooooo good.  Nice texture, not grainy, and absolutely delicious!  SCORE!

Homemade Corn Tortillas

Image
My family enjoys having soft tacos for dinner.  The guys have flour tortillas, and Laura and I eat corn tortillas to avoid gluten.  Store bought corn tortillas aren't that great, so I've been making homemade corn tortillas.  At first, I tried making them by hand, which didn't work well at all.  I also tried flattening them with the bottom of a pan, only to discover that the pan was slightly warped (raised in the center).  So I've been rolling each tortilla out with a rolling pin, which works alright but is kind of a slow process. I just purchased a tortilla press, and making those tortillas is so quick and easy! To make corn tortillas, combine 2 cups masa flour, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1 1/4 cups water.  Mix until the dough holds together, adding a little more flour or water if necessary.  It will feel kind of like Playdoh when it's ready. Next, section the dough into 16 sections, and form each into a ball.  At this stage, I also like to partially flatten e

Whole Grain Gluten Free Bread

Image
“Have you tried Udi’s bread?” is the question going around the gluten free community. Udi’s Whole Grain Gluten Free Bread is unbelievably good. It is not just “good for gluten free bread”. It is good bread. It is also sometimes hard to find. I appreciate the convenience of being able to buy good gluten free bread and other pre-prepared gluten free foods. However, with both my daughter and myself avoiding gluten, it’s good to be able to prepare gluten free foods at home as well. This is especially true of bread, since we usually eat breakfast and lunch at home and can go through bread quickly. With the Udi’s Gluten Free bread in mind, I developed a recipe for Gluten Free Whole Grain Bread. It also makes really good sandwich rolls. I wish there was some way to share the delicious fragrance in my house when the bread came out of the oven. The whole house smelled like homemade bread, real bread.   When I worked as a food scientist developing products for the food industry, I
