It's almost Thanksgiving which means that my gluten-intolerant daughter will soon be home. That also means that it is time to create some new gluten free recipes because she has been missing some food. I will be working on perfecting my cinnamon roll recipe. But my current project is to make a doughnut that is gluten free but doesn't taste that way. I have purchased one of those cute doughnut baking machines (as seen on TV). I am hoping that I will be able to create something worthy of being called a doughnut. Be watching for that to appear here.
We have a traditional Thanksgiving meal. It will be complete with turkey, dressing, corn, green bean casserole (gluten free recipe here on my blog), sweet potatoes (because her boyfriend likes them), and rolls. We haven't been very happy with the gluten free rolls. Thus, another thing to be creating. I want to create a roll that is gluten-free as well as light and fluffy. Gluten free breads are incredibly dense. So, I am going to be focused on creating a light gluten free roll. Will I be successful? We shall see. I will update you on that as well.
What other things will come from the kitchen while she is home? I still want to create that gluten-free flour tortilla, gluten-free garlic cheese biscuits, and gluten free pie crust. Oh, and chicken nuggets. I've done a pretty good job at those, but haven't quite gotten them to Bailey's satisfaction. If she likes it, then it is good. If she doesn't like it, my policy is to go back to the drawing board on whatever I am making and start again.
I also think that before she leaves this time, I am going to make a batch of gf saltine crackers for her and turn them into Firecrackers which are absolutely to die for.
So, bloggers, that is the state of what is to come. I hope I get it all figured out before she gets home. I only have a little over a week. Time to get baking and cooking.
