no dear, i meant that bob's red mill is cross contaminated with soy and nuts, so if one has a problem with those, they may not be able to use it

Ah. Yes, it is manufactured in a facility that has other products. We aren't that sensitive here, thank God! Of all the flours I've tried, theirs has the best texture. Not grainy at all. So, glad we can use it without issue. I'm sure some Celiacs can't, but they will know what rice flour to use. All my recipes state rice flour or another flour.

Leaven-Free Brownies

5 oz bittersweet chocolate (I just use the Enjoy Life Chocolate Chips)
3 tbsp unsweetened cocoa
3 tbsp butter (I use ghee)
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
3 large eggs
5 tbsp olive oil or other cooking oil
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/8 tsp salt
3/4 cup rice flour
2/3 cup chopped almonds or pecans (optional)

Preheat oven to 350. Grease a 9 " cake pan.

Melt chocolate in medium bowl over hot water. Stur until smooth. Remove from water; cool 5 minutes.

Soften butter. Mix butter, both sugars and eggs until light and fluffy. (I use a hand-crank mixer.) Add oil, cinnamon, salt, flour and melted chocolate. Beat slowly to combine. Add nuts if using.

Spoon batter into pan. Bake 25 minutes until color has changed evenly on top and a toothpick inserted 2 " from center comes out clean. Do not overbake.

That was my last one for today. Gotta get some work done and teach some home school.

Have you all tried Miss Maggie's Frugal Abundance website? She was the originator of Hillbilly Housewife and then sold it and started Frugal Abundance. It is full of GFCF recipes.

The new Betty Crocker packaged Gluten Free Mixes are yummy! I was totally surprised as I usually go for Bob's Red Mill (still do but do try Betty Crocker too...they are very goood). AL

Thanks for the Link Hawthorne. I have forwarded it to my DD who is not only celiac but also has lots of allergies too. I hope this will help her food taste better. I have practiced with different recipes without too much happy success. AL

Thank you for posting this, I had wondered what happened to Maggie (thankfully I copied most of her old recipes before the site changed) and now I can see why she changed to a new site.

My Irish house-mate can tolerate some of the wheat related flours like spelt, but I'm delighted to have a good wheat-free site to explore for new ideas.
