Welcome to Litsy!

Finally a successful rise on a gluten free sandwich loaf! This is for my daughter; glad to have a homemade option. The available store brand has the tiniest slices for an exorbitant price.

My loaf is not white like the pic in the book and I realized it‘s my psyllium husk which is that brownish color. Not sure if all psyllium husk is that color?

My quibble with ATK is you MUST read all of the notes in order not to go astray.

I don‘t know why starting with a cake mix and adding all kinds of stuff to doctor it up seems so much easier than just making it from scratch, but there you go. Darned good GF choc cake + chocolate buttercream frosting for my daughter‘s birthday. Personally, I prefer this cake with peanut butter frosting, but that‘s me. It was VERY chocolatey.

I don‘t bake a lot of desserts, but this is my go- to for GF treats.

GF Alert! Two bites into this coffee cake and my daughter said, “You definitely need to make this again.”

Glad to be finding alternatives that work!

3.5/5⭐ I like the options provided for using canned vs dried beans and the alternate beans for cooks who want to get fancy. The baked good and dessert recipes interest me more than the savory ones.

Overall it was an okay read, but it didn't tell me anything I didn't already know. This is not a guide on healthy eating as such but on avoiding fad diets, misleading headlines, & eating sensibly. Newcomers to the subject may find this a helpful 'beginner's read' or introduction to the subject of the Western view of food but it was written in 2015 so some of it will probably now be out of date. 2⭐

We‘ve got new people at the library which obviously means that an afternoon tea is in order! The invite email asked for us to bring something vegan friendly - so I‘ve adapted my yum yum ball recipe - by using vegan/gluten free biscuits and condensed coconut milk instead of condensed milk. I didn‘t know condensed coconut milk was thing!

My 2nd trip to the library since restrictions eased & the library bookstore finally opened again. I went to pick up my hold on Second First Impressions & Little Secrets & 2 veg/vegan cookbooks East & Plants Only Kitchen came home with me.

From the bookstore $3 got me like-new Dead Wake & (the tagged & cleverly-titled) vegetarian/GF cookbook which looks amazing. I‘d say it‘s a pretty good #librarybookhaul & the book chickens were impressed!📚🐔🐔

Am I the only one turned off by typewriter font?

Cookbook morning. Making my son's requested birthday treat and listening to Wait Wait Don't Tell Me. He requested a vegan dessert...and real whipped cream to put on it.
