Wheatless Foodie

Jules Gluten Free makes a really good gluten free all purpose flour. It’s my favorite gluten free all purpose flour and I’ve been substituting it in some of my gluten free recipes with good results. I’ve also tried substituting it for regular (white flour made from wheat) flour in some regular recipes as well. I substituted Jules Gluten Free All Purpose Flour in the Nestle Toll House Cookie recipe to make delicious chocolate chip cookies. They did spread a little more on the parchment lined pan than I remember them spreading with regular flour but they were delicious. Interestingly, the cookie dough that I stored in the freezer baked up better, spreading less.

You can visit Share Our Strength for more information about the campaign to end childhood hunger.

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 glute
