INTRODUCTION

Eating Gluten Free with Great Tasting Meals and Snacks

The 128 recipes in this book contain helpful hints to ease users into baking and cooking gluten free. The Appendix contains Conversion Charts for times when products other than what the recipe calls for are used.

What is gluten?

Gluten is a protein found in Wheat, Rye, Semolina and Barley.

Reactions to Gluten

The gluten protein causes different symptoms at different levels of sensitivity in individuals. Whether a person has a severe reaction or not, Celiac disease can be serious.

Are breads and pastas off the plate for good?

We live in a wonderful time. In certain areas the amount of gluten free pasta’s, breads, baked goods, boxed and frozen meals at local grocery store’s can be staggering. In some areas though, it is still hard to find good tasting gluten free foods. Preparing as many meals as you can at home will always be the best choice. There is no substitute for fresh food prepared without chemicals, preservatives and dyes. So as long as the label reads gluten free it will be safe for you to eat.

When Patty was first diagnosed with wheat intolerance there was nothing that even resembled what she had grown up with as far as taste and texture in gluten free products. So Patty changed family recipe’s into gluten free and developed A Blend Above GF Flour to use in all baking and cooking. This GF flour measures cup for cup in any recipe. A Blend Above GF Flour is high in nutritional value and vitamins because of the types of flours used in the blend.

Eating gluten free is an opportunity to live a new way.

When you look at what you eat, are you thinking of what will effect your health and well being? Learning to use foods in a different way will help in this endeavor. Consider Corn Tortilla’s or Lettuce, these can be used as bread to make a sandwich. Potatoes and Polenta can be used in casserole’s and as pie crust’s. Adding more produce and less processed foods, healthier eating becomes easier. Family Recipe’s Made Gluten Free can give you ideas for trying vegetables and fruits in a different way. Experimenting with different food combinations will be fun and tasteful.

Personal Statement

LIFE HAS MANY TWISTS AND TURNS. WITH A LITTLE HELP WE CAN ALL ENJOY THE RIDE

Patty has learned about wheat sensitivity and gluten intolerance from her own experience. It affected her whole life and health. She learned that living without gluten extended into her family, circle of friends and co-workers lives.

This increased her passion to make gluten free meals and baked goodies from old family recipes. These meals had to have great flavor, texture and nutrition if they were going to pass the standards of her family and friends.

During this quest she spent years researching and developing a nutritious and flavorful gluten free flour blend. A Blend Above GF Flour surpasses all that she had tried. As Patty developed her recipes she realized that xanthan gum is needed in different amounts for different baked goods. For this reason, A Blend Above GF Flour does not include xanthan gum.

A Blend Above Gluten Free Flour is an all purpose flour that cup for cup substitutes for wheat flour. The texture of the baked goods made with this flour mimics wheat flour.

A chart in the Appendix of this book shows the amounts of xanthan gum needed in baking various goods. Patty suggests that this flour be spooned into measuring cups and not packed down. Whisk the flour in a bowl before using.

A Blend Above GF Flour will soon be available online at www.ablendabovegffoods.com.
