Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Fudge Cookies

I baked cookies recently and they were great. The recipe was from The Gluten-Free Bible. The cookies were very tasty you could taste the chocolate but it wasn't a overwhelming chocolate taste it was just a simple sweet flavor and then it had the chocolate chips adding another taste of chocolate. Sadly after I baked them a fly went in the middle of the cookies. It was a little hard, think of it as making regular chocolate chip cookies but adding around two more steps. I had only had 2 cookies before that and then they were gone it feels so sad. They were so new and tasted so great. I now hope that the next thing I bake will be very delicious and I will make sure no flies get on it. I hope this teaches everyone to always cover your food completely which means not just putting a napkin over it.

Gluten-Free Chocolate Pudding

I recently cooked some chocolate pudding from the cookbook, Gluten-Free Bible. The recipe was easy because it involves no ovens just a microwave. To me it tastes sweeter hot. I preferred it hot because of the taste and the fact that when the pudding is cold it has the texture of pudding, which I just cannot stand. Theres one thing that I didn't agree with in the recipe is the cinnamon. When I tasted it I could taste a distinct cinnamon flavor. Overall this wasn't my favorite recipe even thought it was pretty easy to make.

Gluten-Free Corn-Quinoa Salad

Today I made this quinoa salad. It was delicious. It was a little hard to make because you need a blender and two saucepans along with a strainer and you need to prepare lots of the ingredients first. The taste is very good because the dressing has Dijon mustard which gives it a strong sweet flavor. The cherry or grape tomatoes then lessen the flavor a little bit which makes it not have an intense flavor. Then the corn, cucumber and cabbage help to give it more taste. I found this recipe in QFC's free Optimum Wellness magazine for July/August 2011.Overall this is a great side dish for a barbeque or sitting outside for a summer dinner, and the best part is this is very healthy because of the quinoa and all the vegetables.

Bread (Again)

A few days ago I was going to make a sandwhich with Udi's Gluten-Free bread. But I ran out of it that day and made something else but the next day I went to the store to buy Udi's bread but they didn't have it. So I looked for another bread. I eventually found Rudi's bread. I got home to make it And when I picked it up it was not heavy like other GF breads it was light. I took it out of the package and the size wasn as big as Gluten breads but it was bigger then lots of the other GF breads. The taste is very good, I like this bread alot more than Udi's bread, which I didn't think was even possible.

Bread

There's one thing I hate alot about gluten-free food. It's the bread. Some popular bread brands are Udi's and Ener-G. Udi's is a tasty crispy bread. Then there's The bread from Ener-G which has a variety of different breads like brown rice or tapioca, and many more. But all the breads that I have eaten have had two problems, and for some one more. It is that all of them are so tiny and two of each will probably be the size of Gluten bread. Another problem is that they all have lots of big holes in them so there is not too much to eat. With some of the breads another problem is that they are so heavy, or heavy for bread. It makes you wonder what they put in them. But like lot's of problems you just have to deal with it.

Gluten-Free Snickerdoodles

I baked Snickerdoodles today From Pamela's Gluten-Free Cake Mix. They were delicious. I am happymade this, because last time I tried to make these it didn't turn out so good because instead of using parchment paper I used wax paper accidentally. Let this be a lesson to everyone trying to bake something. I think anything from Pamela's Mixes are delicious. Keep on Baking!

Baking

As you can see I've been baking alot lately, like the banana loaf, and the quinoa breakfast. When I finished baking one of the foods. I felt really good and happy, because they tasted so good, they were gluten-free, and I made them and they are still delicious. I think if you're feeling sad because of the fact that there is not enough food to eat thats good and gluten-free then just bake. It makes everything feel better.
