Today I’m at The 21rst Century Housewife Sharing How I Adapt Recipe to Make Them Gluten-Free

Today I am sharing my tips for adapting recipes to make them gluten-free at The 21rst Century Housewife.
When I learn of someone who has just been diagnosed with Celiac’s Disease or a gluten intolerance, I encourage them by reminding them that if you think outside the box (or other packaged items) you will find an incredible variety of naturally gluten-free foods. I describe our diet as joyfully gluten-free, because I don’t focus on what we can’t have. Instead, I delight in growing and preparing fruits and vegetables for my family. Cooking real food from scratch is the easiest, healthiest, and most frugal way to prepare gluten-free dishes.
When someone is newly diagnosed I also recommend that they not jump immediately to packaged gluten-free substitutes, because they will most likely be disappointed. I encourage them to take a month off and then try baking gluten-free breads, cookies, and cakes from scratch. It is a bit more time consuming, but the reward is a more flavorful (and frugal) product.  Visit The 21rst Century Housewife, if you are interested in learning how I adapt recipes to make them gluten-free.
