The Gluten Free Baking Marathon

Mr. Mersy first found out that he would need to be gluten-free about seven years ago.  At that time, I had never even heard of Celiacs Disease, although, on the plus side, in that very first apartment, I had just discovered that I could cook- and that I like it!  Those first few months were spent putting colored stickers on every item in the cupboards- red for gluten, green for gluten free, yellow for not sure.  We're still finding the occasional sticker even now!  And we would cook up huge batches of food from the discounted gluten-free cook book we had splurged on, freezing the uneaten portions "to be prepared".  

Boy have we come a long way!  We went from that phase of hyper-preparedness to one of hyper-independence, thinking that we could and should make everything from scratch- none of these premade gluten-free crackers for us!  We were buying xanthan gum and making our own granola- we were awesome!

And then...life happened and now I am more than happy to buy as many different types of boxed gluten-free baking mixes as I can.  Load me up!  The cakes and cookies and muffins I had been making from scratch hadn't been all that good anyway!

So now, we're in a new phase.  One of Funfetti cookies and boxed brownie mix.  It's a good phase- I hope it lasts a while!

What have you been baking up recently?

Lots of love,
