Thanks for the "welcome"! I signed up awhile ago b/c my husband and I were thinking of moving up there this year from Florida. So, now we have made the plans final and will be in Greenville by the end of the year! We are excited and everyone on this site seems very nice. I look forward to being more a part of the group =)
The first thing I did was go to the Hughes Main Library, check out all the gluten free/wheat free recipe books and info books about celiac. Search using "gluten free diet" to pull the list.
Easy Gluten Free Cooking for Kids ? is full of fast & easy recipes. I like Donna Washburn and Carol Finster ? cookbooks the best. The Betty Hagman books are wonderful too. My daughter prefers Analise Roberts. There are lots of new ones just in the last year. So try recipes from several cookbook authors to find the cooking style you are looking for. I use Carol's sorghum blend or the about.com flour blends most of the time. I also like the Living Without magazine's flour blends - the mag has the best because they did 4 different flour blends. Basic blend (Quick breads) , high protean (yeast breads), cakes and self rising are their blends. All I can say is, this is not easy and each of us has to experiment to find the foods and flour blends that will please their own palate.
I have been gluten free for 18 months now. It is still very hard some days. Buy a good cookbook for a start and make several recipes at least twice. These flours can be tricky, the tastes will be different and you don't have to reinvent the wheel. I go to about.com for Celiac and gluten free cooking info. Let me know if you have questions and welcome!
