We make pancakes out of homemade oat flour. Basically that means we use the food processor to pulverize quick oats and make pancakes out of it. You can make a batch of it and keep it in an airtight container -- then you'd always have pancake mix. this is the recipe we usually use:…

Hello! I also have thyroid fun times! I have hypothyroidism and no doctor has been able to identify why -- I don't have hashimoto's or cancer, just a slow *kitten* thyroid. What's your TSH? What does you doctor want it to be? I found that one doctor wasn't up on the newest research on the ideal TSH level so I switched to a…

We made this over the weekend (using Better Batter) and it was amazing. Since we wanted the same toppings, we used 1/2 the dough in a 9inch cake pan. http://glutenfreeonashoestring.com/deep-dish-chicago-style-pizza/

So far, I haven't really done much besides stopped eating the regular wheat things. I think we'll start experimenting…

Welcome! I think I need to be better about reaching out to make new friends through the community. I have a handful of IRL friends who I follow, but I'm always looking for more ideas and motivation -- so the more, the merrier. Feel free to add me too.

Hey everyone! I'm Jenn -- I live in Oak Park with my husband and work downtown. In the last 6 months, I've lost about 30lbs but have hit a bit of a rut and my bff told me about MFP. I've only been using it a few days and I really like it so far. I was semi-recently diagnosed with a condition that makes my body not process…
