ita, if you can tolerate spelt, I have had pretty good success in cookies and waffles with a 1-to-1 substitution of spelt flour for wheat. It is fluffier than wheat, so the texture is a little off, but not bad. It doesn't have much gluten, so bread and stuff would be more affected.
Oh, at first it was confusing. Just the idea of computers was like — whoa! I'm eleven hundred years old! I had trouble adjusting to the idea of Lutherans.

some gluten-free cookies I had were also weirdly grainy.
If by weirdly grainy you mean texture sort of sandy, then that's probably the rice flour.
I made Trader Joe's gluten-free brownies the other day (my celiac diseased sister & nephew were visiting) and they were quite tasty.

Rice flour shortbread is excellent, for the record.
Sparky! I found the program for your wedding while I was packing last night!

Tangentially, can you label yourself allergen-free? Wouldn't one just mean "so far"?
My standard response to "Do you have any allergies?" is "Not that I'm aware of."

Good lord, msbelle, those ginger snaps sounds good.
Though, keep in mind, I inadvertantly skipped my morning snack and am starved.

Ha! Went to buy coffee beans, and the guy at the register made a Rainman joke after I made a "clearly I need this coffee because counting seems to be beyond me" joke. Then he mentioned that I probably didn't know the movie because I was two when it came out.
Which, HA HA not so much, but I guess it's flattering?

Awww. (Please tell me you had the sense to put it in recycling and not schlepp it to the new house.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm not sure why I'm convinced pancake mix in cookies is wrong, but I'm having a hard time shaking it. Still, it's an easy enough recipe that I just might try.
At home so far I have brown and white rice flours and corn flour.
Man, I'm indoctrinated by wheat. All these things to try and add back up to it. I think I've tried spelt, but I just can't remember in what, or how it turned out.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I am intrigued by quinoa flakes. What are they for?
(I heart quinoa. It is the superfood of the future!)

I want to try this soda bread recipe. And these oatmeal cookies
Today is my Tuesday and already I've made all these plans for every waking weekend hour, slaving away over a hot stove. As if.
