trial and error begins

As you may realize, our family is going through some major trial and error, regarding foods that are gluten free.

DS & I went shopping yesterday. We wanted to find some pizza crust that would fit the bill, since DH mentioned to me he misses pizza a lot.

We went to the local Pick & Save, which has a VERY limited gluten free section. Found 1 type of pizza crust mix. It seemed very easy to make, which is critical for me. I'm not a big baker or cook. I like to cook, but the hassle of getting all the ingredients has outweighed the ease of buying the ready made stuff. Up until now that has been the guiding point in my culinary achievements.

So we bought the dough mix, I took it home, and made the crust. The brand is called Namaste. Of course everyone had to inspect it and comment. Then parbaked it, and later baked it with sauce, cheese, canadian bacon and mushrooms (on half). So we sit down to eat it.

Not a lot of comments. No "Yum, this is great, or Yuck, I'm not eating this". So I figured I had made an achievement. We all agreed it wasn't the best and wasn't the worst. I still have the other 1/2 of the bag left. Not sure I will make it though.

Good for you on trying the pizza!

We had a neighbor girl with Celiac's. We are big on making cookies and stuff and delivering to our neighbors, so that made it a little tough, had to rethink that with their family. The mom had to really be aware of what came into their house, on Halloween as well. Lots of candies have gluten!
Glad you know what it is now, and how to treat it, and good luck in finding some edible foods!
