I found out a couple of years ago I have Celiac's. This is an autoimmune disorder that causes issues with my digestive system. My body reacts badly to wheat, barley and rye. Barley and rye are not too hard to avoid but wheat is sooooo difficult. Wheat starch is in so many food items. It comes under the guise of hydrolyzed vegetable protein, modified food starch, Triticum....anything, durum....the list goes on.
Labels are supposed to be clear when wheat is present, however, there are times when cross contamination comes into play so I try very hard to read my labels and if an item says it is processed in a factory that also processes wheat...well, sometimes I take my chances.
On the bright side I have found items I really like that are gluten free. Bisquick makes a gluten free baking mix. Of course it's more expensive than the regular baking mix (everything gluten free is more expensive) but I use it for pancakes and biscuits. And my kids love the pancakes! I have also made oatmeal muffins with Bisquick (oatmeal is not an issue for me) that disappear almost as fast as I can make them.
The only recipe I have tried that didn't turn out like I wanted was their Bisquick pizza crust. It wasn't as crispy and tasty as it needed to be. AND since my gluten loving husband (whiney man) says I have ruined pizza for him now that I only fix gluten free pizza, I really need to find a good pizza crust mix that's gluten free.
So for the next few weeks I am going to try any and every gluten free pizza crust mix I can get my hands on. Starting with Chebe Pizza Crust Mix. Maybe at some point I will find a mix that my dear (whiney man) husband likes too.
If anyone is reading this they can check back Wednesday cause I'm going to try Chebe's out tomorrow night. Wish me luck!
