I always get asked to please publish a cookbook. The reason I never have is mainly because I don't really create my own recipes. I usually find them through Pinterest or a google search that led me to some of my favorite blogs. I think I have mentioned before a few of them, but I'll list them again.
For those who are trying to convert to gluten free and really love their baked goods or carb invested breakfast items, I recommend elanaspantry.com She has a few cookbooks out there you can purchase or visit her website to find many as well. My kids love her silver dollar pancake recipe, and her paleo banana bread. So easy that my 7 year old can make both start to finish all by herself.
Another favorite of my children is paleOMG.com. They love her chocolate waffles and her pumpkin granola.
Those are ones we visit regularly to give the kids their fix of a normal carb infested lifestyle. For everyday recipes like dinner meals, I love everydaypaleo.com I do have one of her cookbooks, the Family one, and I have not made a recipe yet I don't like.
A few others I sometimes visit are, chocolatecoveredkatie, paleoparents, and comfybelly.
I hope this makes things a little easier for those who just became gluten free or who are thinking about it. The world of bloggers really does make my life easier. That's why I decided to enter the world myself in hopes of making it easier for someone else.
A side note, I do not necessarily believe all people should be gluten free. It does seem to be a fad of the times right now. The reason I choose to do it is because my oldest daughter and myself really had health issues that were significantly resolved with a gluten free lifestyle. If you want to choose to try this lifestyle, I recommend making things yourself. The boxed and prepackaged gluten free products do have a ton of starchy ingredients and sometimes a lot of added sugar as well. Please take time to read labels and make sure you can pronounce all of them. Another good rule of thumb is to make sure this list of ingredients is not so long. About 5 or less of what I aim for. I choose to make most products myself and I prefer to use mostly almond and coconut flours. Experiment around and see what you prefer. And BTW, trader joes is the cheapest place I have found for almond meal. And it cooks up deliciously as well. I buy my coconut flour from tropicaltraditions when they run it on sale you really should stock up. A tiny amount of this type flour goes a long way, so one or two bags will last you quite a long time. The key to cooking gluten free is eggs. These little jewels hold it all together. So my next adventure in the Trotter Family...chickens. Since we go through about 2-3 dozen a week, I think we will try our hands at some chickens. Coming soon...
