Wasn't sure because it came up <BR/>anonymous--just Linda (Live Journal)? Do you have a blog on Live <BR/>Journal? <BR/> <BR/> Anyways, I got the Xanthan Gum because it goes into some <BR/>wheatless flour recipes that I found online--because Dr. <BR/>John suggested I try eliminating wheat and dairy to see if it <BR/>helps the fibro. My impression is that it is some type of <BR/>substitute for the gluten in flour?? I'll be finding out <BR/>soon. Now that I finally got everything put away and <BR/>organized, I can finally make up some wheatless flour and try <BR/>baking something. Muffins or cookies sound good! I have <BR/>really missed them!<BR/> <BR/> I just got some regular plain tofu, too. Have to see how <BR/>well I like it--might try it on Dagan and Leah one <BR/>Monday--hehe! Doubt they'd be too thrilled unless I find something <BR/>in advance that works well. At ToChi's (the store where I <BR/>can go and buy all kinds of odd things up here in Fargo) <BR/>they told me you can cut it up into small cubes and bake it!! <BR/>Sounds like I might like it better in a casserole, etc, if <BR/>it was baked and maybe not so squishy?? I am planning on <BR/>trying that with the regular one I bought (firm). I tried <BR/>it years ago and wasn't too thrilled. But I am not sure I <BR/>knew what to do with it or had good recipes, either. <BR/>So--willing to give it a go again, I guess. <BR/> <BR/> I never thought of the cubby hole as my "in box", but it <BR/>does look like one--ha! Karma is sleeping in there right <BR/>now as I am typing. Thanks for dropping by my blog and <BR/>commenting!! Love getting comments! Nice to know people <BR/>actually read it sometimes--silly as it is--hehe! :)<BR/> Always, RitaRitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02043285884495492598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29503764.post-1155007340632471602006-08-07T22:22:00.000-05:002006-08-07T22:22:00.000-05:00The Xanthan gum... I have had trouble with it. It ...The Xanthan gum... I have had trouble with it. It must work since it is in so darn many products but, I haven't found the "secret" to using it yet.<BR/>I think you will find a lot of the foods from the Co-op/health foods stores are wonderful.<BR/>I have incorporated many of them into our diet within the last year.<BR/>Tofu has been the most difficult. The family was biased against it before we even tried it.<BR/>If it is mixed into casseroles or made into dips (fudgescicles (sp?) were great!) then it has been ok.<BR/>Let me know if you come across any good recipes!<BR/>oh, and Karma looks like she is sitting in your "in box" cubby. hehe. so cute.<BR/>Hope all is well!<BR/>Linda (from LiveJournal)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
