All Purpose Baking Mix



I found this Gluten Free All Purpose Baking Mix and am in love.
It tastes wonderful when Sweet Sorghum Flour is added.


Just wanted to share it :)

Corn and Bean Salad


1 C Corn ( I used caned corn)
1 C Rinsed black beans (I used canned)
3 thinly sliced green onions
1/2 C cilantro, chopped
1 C diced tomatoes
1 T lime juice
Salt and pepper to taste

Mix all ingredients and chill. Serve cold.

This little "salsa" is delicious!
We used tortilla chips for dipping.
Biscuit uses blue corn chips which are equally yummy!


Aunti experimental recipe

Gluten Free Flour


This is the winning mixture that Aunti created for GF Flour.

3 C Brown Rice Flour
2 1/2 C Sweet Rice Flour
1 1/2 C Buckwheat or Millet Flour
3/4 C Tapioca Flour
3/4 C Cornstarch
3/4 C Potato Starch

Add Xantham Gum for each Cup of GF Flour

Breads: 1 heaping t
Cakes: 1/2 t
Cookies: 1/4 t
Muffins: 3/4 t
Pizza Dough: 2 t

I found everything except for the Potato Starch, Xantham Gum and Sweet Rice Flour in bulk at Winco for a reasonable price. I've yet to locate the Sweet Rice Flour. I found White Rice Flour, but my bread didn't taste quite right. I found the Potato Starch at Whole Foods in the Bob's Red Mill Brand, and also the Xantham Gum at Whole Foods in Bob's Red Mill.

I'm currently trying out the Arrowhead Mills Gluten Free All Purpose Baking Mix on banana bread. One of the kids interrupted me and I lost track and put in 1 tsp of baking powder instead of 1/2 tsp. I guess I'll find out pretty soon....

First Post


I am starting this blog to keep track of and share new gluten and dairy free recipes as they come to me.

Enjoy.
