    I forgot to mention on my initial post that I am trying the gluten free route. I am mainly sticking to fruit, veggies, protein, peanut butter, and occasionally gf cereal! However, I'd like to find some yummy gluten free recipes for things like bread, cake, cupcakes, pizzas, etc. that I can make on special occasions. If you have any...PLEASE SHARE!

    Thanks :)

    There is a gluten free group on here too. I'm a coeliac (I also have other allergies) and tend to make most things from scratch - pasta is the only thing I tend to buy in.

    I tend to use normal recipes and just change the ingredients to fit round our needs. Have just started baking again and agree that some of the stuff out there is not great (I live in the UK) but have been recommended Namaste which is on sale on ebay.

    Also have a brlliant shop that does do the occasional treat and are fab.

    Have you found that when swap the regular ingredients with gluten free ingredients, the food still tastes good? I have been wondering if it could be that easy.

    I tend not to use recipes that uses flour as a main ingredient but if I need to thicken sauces I tend to use corn flour. Most of our starch comes from potatoes, rice and gf pasta.

    I make home-made curries and recently made a gorgeous lamb tagine that's was better than the shop bought one.

    very easy to make - basically fry some lamb and onions together with some curry powder ( I use tikka powder) then add a carton of pasata or chopped tomatoes. Then add chopped dried apricots, some flaked almond and to give it a lovely creamy taste add some coconut cream (one sachet does 4 people as its quite high in calories) then just let it cook away for an hour or bung in a slow cooker. I serve it with rice.

    If you're looking for gluten free breads, bagels and muffins, try 'Udi's'. It tastes like the real thing. One of my coworkers, who is Celiac as well suggested Udi's GF double chocolate muffins cut in half with whipped cream and cherry pie filling in the middle. The muffins themselves are dairy free as well, so for those looking for a dairy free option, I've heard Coolwhip is DF as well. Haven't tried this myself but it sounds amazing. They also have awesome cinnamon rolls and pizza crusts to build your own pizza as well. :)
