Ugly Scones and Whole Grain Biscuits Last week I promised a recipe for biscuits made from whole grain muffin mix. This post shares not only the recipe, but the process, principles and failures involved in transforming this recipe to gluten free. I have bolded the principles to make it easier for you to find and remember them so you can apply them to your own baking.

I wondered if our Ancient Grain Muffin mix would work...
A Guide to Making Bread for Multiple Food Allergies Or Kristy’s Bread By Laura Huffman, Founder of Vivian’s Live Again Kristy is my pharmacist. She and several family members have Mast Cell Activation Syndrome which results in multiple food allergies. She is allergic to most grains as well as eggs, milk, and soy, so she hasn’t eaten bread in years. Recently, I discovered an almost universal bread recipe that I was confident I could adapt to Kristy’s allergen list. This recipe was successful and brought us both great joy. It is my desire to share it with allergy families everywhere. It is nutritious, delicious and filling because it is whole grain. Below is the recipe for Kristy’s bread followed...

In the gluten free bread world, the description “good” is relative and the standard of good often deteriorates over time. Most come to accept that GF bread is not the same, focus their diets on other foods, and move on, but it does not have to be that way. Ok, I get that you don’t believe that.

It’s January. The holidays are over and every magazine you pick up has an article about goals or diets or exercise. If you’re like me, you read most of those articles and think, “Yeah, right.” We decided to share two simple ideas to add more whole grains to your diet that are so simple it feels like you didn’t change anything. You’re probably thinking, “Yeah, right.”Everyone needs more whole grains, right? Yes, but you need them more than gluten eaters. Gluten free flours are not fortified with B vitamins like wheat flour.
