We've got the raw sugar, too.

(I carry raw sugar for the vegans, if they want expensive agave syrup, they need to bring their own. But I still don't understand how this is supposed to be good for the planet if you spend resources and fossil fuels to bring this half way around the world instead of beet sugar, which can be grown and refined locally.)

I don't make the other guests eat what she eats. I end up doing 2 entirely different breakfasts, because you're right, it's not fair to the other guests. The problem here is her length of stay. I think I'll just give her the options of fruit, Greek yogurt and GF oatmeal & granola.

There's a good GF corn muffin recipe on here somewhere. Everyone can eat that. I don't know if we could be 'heroic' like you said for 7 breakfasts. There would be a lot of eggs on that table. If I can't feed something to everyone else, I just cannot see wasting all that food on trying to cook differently for one person.It's not fair to the other guests if you bend everyone else's meal because of her.

I'm sorry, but you don't need to cater to her in that way. She's on her own cockamame diet. Here is the fruit, bread, cereal, milk, soy milk, etc and enjoy. She will make due.

I keep all the different flours on hand (separate loaf pan, measuring cups, & measuring spoons). If I can make a loaf of bread, I am good for 3 meals - eggs & toast, french toast, and bread pudding. I have to be careful because DH has tried that bread and thought it was good. Therefore, I give the guest any leftover GF bread so he cannot get it into his head for me to make THAT for him. It is bad enough that he now wants an all-rye bread made. I cannot find rye flour in the stores any longer. I have to buy it at the bulk store (translate ORGANIC $$) @ $1.35 a pound!!! I bought 10 lbs but that will not last long with each baking taking 6 to 7 cups. He is expensive enough without catering to GF for him when there is no reason to (other than in his head).okay
i have been eating gluten free lately since my sister was here. experimenting with the products she left behind ... blanched almond flour seems to work nicely in what i've tried it in so far. and i am a classic baker ... old fashioned recipes with basic ingredients. but it's been so hot i haven't baked much. and we had to freeze most of the flour so it will keep. the being used flour is in a mason jar. the problem is that this flour is expensive.
i already use stevia and honey myself ($$) and i don't buy bacon with nitrites but finding it without added sugar is hard. today i had turkey bacon and it's just not bacon. i asked at the meat department / butcher of three different stores, and they don't offer their own bacon. humph.
for the honeymoon guest, i might offer a gluten free muffin or something from a place that specializes in making them, unless you have the ingredients to make a batch and freeze. otherwise i'd just stay away from the bread for her. she should be happy with eggs and fruit.

Not much you can do. If she has kids and starts having to make 3 meals a day I bet she all of sudden eats regular food again. Interesting how time and money can convert a picky eater into an omnivore!

I've found that almond flour is very not diet-friendly. VERY heavy in the fat/calorie department. I made a nice mix of brown rice flour, tapioca flour, and potato flour that I can use in just about anything.seashanty said:okay

I know JB here has said that if someone has an allergy to just cut it out of the diet- and to some extent that is possible.
But it's easier for ME to just bake the stuff with my GF flour mix and call it good. And it is good. I didn't want to have to make two different pans of mac and cheese for dinner. Or two types of tacos. Or two types of pancakes. We have all adopted to the GF flour for our daughter's sake and it's helped her to not feel isolated and it's helped us to be compassionate and a 'team' about it
.
I realize eating in a family is different, I meant those who go out to eat, just don't eat that item. Or staying at a B&B. I went through a similar diet years ago and every sauce, every dish had it in there, and I couldn't eat anything it seemed, except whole foods.Penelope said:I've found that almond flour is very not diet-friendly.
