Mimi's Recipe Board

Thanks for your comment Patti.  I'm a label reader from way back to when I started monitoring my sodium levels  and labels have so changed over the years.    Sometimes I feel like I need a chemistry degree.   The other day my son wanted a sweet treat and all we had at the time were cookies, he went to the store and bought some marshmallows, oatmeal, coconut and some caramel chips.  He Read more [...]

My son just found out that he’s gluten intolerant,one loaf gluten free bread 200 grams (about 1/4 pound) is $6.00!  Holy cats?!  Any one have any ideas?  Could we use flax bread instead? i know bread is just one level of the problem.  I really need a little assistance in figuring everything out.  I’ve not gone through the other cooking sites I visit.  I think they’re a bit clinical.

Dessert will be later – something chocolate, of course.
