I've been playing around with pasta recipes. I need to be grain free and the few gluten free recipes I've found use flours/starches that I can't as well as additives that I'm not sure I want to put in my food. Before I was grain free I made pasta with just eggs and all purpose flour. My latest attempt is chilling in the fridge. Coconut flour and eggs... Just wondering if anyone else has found a grain free pasta without using xanthan or guar gum. Thanks. </p> http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/topic/grain-free-cereal-alternative#post-314 Fri, 03 Jul 2009 19:38:21 +0000 amara.foster 314@http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/ <p>During the week, I like to eat breakfasts that are quick and that I don't have to cook. Last week I made Elana's grain-free granola, and have been eating that every morning this week. I love cereal and haven't been able to enjoy it since I stopped eating grains, so it has been a welcome treat. Does anyone know of any other recipes for grain-free cereals? Or any grain-free alternatives that are sold in stores? </p> http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/topic/travel-tips-for-gluten-free-grain-free#post-2253 Mon, 15 Nov 2010 03:10:18 +0000 KateB 2253@http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/ <p>Hi everyone,</p> <p>Later this month I am traveling from Melbourne to New York for a two-week trip to visit a close friend. As well as being very excited for my first trip to the US, I’ve also been thinking a lot about the logistics of traveling gluten-free, and in my case, also grain-free. I have only recently made these major eliminations to my diet (or, I prefer Elana’s terms, I have a new ‘meal plan’:)), so this will be a big change since my last trip. </p> <p>I thought this would be a great forum to get a discussion going: does anybody have any good tips that they have found useful while traveling with food restrictions? For my flight I have requested vegetarian gluten-free (I don’t do red meat either!), so it will be interesting to see what appears. I’ll also be sure to pack my own snacks: definitely some of Elana’s choc-chip cookies and granola:) </p> <p>Yet once I’ve arrived, that will be where the challenges set in. I have my trusty keep-cup (www.keepcup.com.au) for hot drinks and I think dried fruit and nuts will be staples. What have others found to be efficient ways of getting and transporting the food that you need whilst out and about? What do you find travels well and is fairly easy to come by? In particular, for those of you in the States, I was hoping for some recommendations for vegetable-friendly places (i.e. that are in most cities/suburbs) to get a quick lunch or snack whilst on the go; perhaps places which offer a good salad to-go? I have a feeling I’m going to miss my big bowl of greens to go with dinner. </p> <p>Thanks for reading, and I hope to hear from those with more experience at this than I!</p> <p>KateB. </p> http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/topic/so-easy-coconut-flour-bread#post-2208 Thu, 04 Nov 2010 04:42:35 +0000 Jerzeegal 2208@http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/ <p>I found this recipe on the website of a man who lost over 200 lbs. by eating healthy. He became a whole new person. It's so easy!</p> <p>How To Make Coconut Flour Bread<br /> This is so drop dead simple, even the worst cooks can make this at home. It uses 4 ingredients, 2 of which are from coconuts.<br /> 6 eggs<br /> 1/2 cup melted coconut oil<br /> 1/2 teaspoon sea salt<br /> 3/4 cup coconut flour<br /> Ideally you’d want to use pasture eggs from your local farmer rather than supermarket eggs because of the improved nutritional profile pasture eggs have. Do what you have to do though.<br /> Mix all ingredients together and pour into a small bread pan wiped down with a little coconut oil.<br /> Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes.<br /> Empty the bread out onto a towel or plate and leave it to cool for a while. Lining the bread pan with a little coconut oil should make the job easier.<br /> Because the bread is so dense, it doesn’t rise very high as you can see in the picture. When you prepare your bread pan with the oil, pay attention to the bottom portions of the pan. </p> http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/topic/pizza-dough-recipe#post-261 Tue, 05 May 2009 21:09:47 +0000 lcahse016 261@http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/ <p>Does anybody have a good gluten-free recipe for pizza dough? </p>
