  • Oh, my bad! I guess I read this entire thread completely backwards. I guess the breadcrumbs would still work on the innards haha

  • (Hopefully) a useful tip: if you don't like bread crusts, grate them up and dry them, it's a really cheap way to get breadcrumbs.

  • If you don't have a specific insensitivity to gluten or dairy there is no advantage whatsoever to cutting them arbitrarily out of your diet. Another point to consider is that many gluten-free products are higher in calories than their gluten-containing counterparts. This is because additional ingredients are added in order…
