Banana Bread

Baking good gluten free food banana bread is fun and yummy. I hate to waste brown bananas. In my family, once there is a brown spot on the yellow banana skin, no one touches it. I have to buy bananas that are almost green in order to get them eaten.

It takes at least 3 or 4 bananas to make one loaf of bread. I freeze a banana with the skin on when it turns brown. When I have enough bananas to make a loaf of banana bread, I thaw the frozen ones and bake the banana bread.

Any recipe can be adapted with the rice flour mix to make the banana bread. I just add an extra egg to the mix.

Once you bake any good gluten free food, you must use it or freeze it. There are no preservatives and the baked goods turn bad in 2 or 3 days.

Blogging about Good Gluten Free Food

Since I have been blogging about good gluten free food, I have found so many great tips and hints on how to keep wheat out of the foods we eat. Blogs have a way of keeping in touch with so many people.

I am now expanding from blogging only to include web site use. I am a computer illiterate. I am not inclined to try something risky. I am afraid that I will fail and the kids will make fun of me. Now with computers and training at home I was able to take it one step at a time.

Then, I found a great free web site easy to use. A personal web site is a great way to post pictures, letters and information for family and friends. With my personal website, I now issue invitations to parties, plan outings and keep everyone informed. I love it!

My new business website will let me plan and start a business. I am starting slowly but will increase my use of the business web site later.

I want to share this with any one who is shy and unsure how to start. I am on social security and know that most of us are not comfortable with computer use. The only way to start is just do it!
Once I started, I just want to learn more!

Save Money with Gluten Free Food

I use a blog: http://www.coupons101.blogspot.com for helpful hints for saving money expecially using coupons. I have found that I can use coupons on products that are not for my husband. The totally gluten free foods do not seem to have coupons.

When I go to a store and good gluten free flours are on sale, I stockpile the product. One can not store too much of the gluten free flours. They are truly better fresh. I do keep some good gluten free flours, cake mixes, pancake mixes etc. in the freezer for later use.

I think tonight that I will make gluten free corn bread with dinner. Tomorrow, I will blog about spoon bread fixed gluten free. The best of treats, spoon bread is fun!!!

Vacation Gluten Free Food and Beer

Found a great vacation or any time gluten free treat. Cream cheese spread on a baking dish, covered with Hormel's no bean chilly, topped with cheddar cheese and heated for 4 or 5 minutes in a microwave and served with no flour gluten free chips or crackers, is a fun treat!

I am looking for more gluten free treats to serve for the football parties!

Took 9 six packs of gluten free beer- Redbridge Beer on vacation. Came home with only 3 bottles. Good gluten free planning!!

Good Gluten Free Food at an Expo, I will follow up the recipes and information from the web site.

Choose Peace

Sounds good "Choose Peace". This grass root group is not talking world peace (nice), but peace in the inner neighborhoods of our cities here in America and around the world.

In Indianapolis, Indiana, the horrible homicide rate has become unbearable. Children and families are suffering and injured while sitting in their homes or front porch. Drive by shoot outs and gun battles are hurting and killing way too many people. By spreading "Choose Peace", we can make a change.

The group is new and hopes to spread to help take back neighborhoods and cities. It is one person at a time, talking to another person and spreading the word. Choose Peace and hope will return.

Gluten Free Redbridge Beer

Looking for the good gluten free beer in Indianapolis? The Whole Food Store on West 86th Street is out of stock. I bought 8 cases of Redbridge for the next few months. We go on vacation to the Jersey Shore and did not want to run out of Redbridge.

The store manager told me in the future to call him and he will order the Redbridge that we need. So now my advice to all who love the gluten free Redbridge Beer is to find a friendly store manager and place orders from them.

Eight cases of beer takes up a lot of room in a car!
