    When I was diagnosed with Celiac I had no idea how to use all the different types of flours for cooking and baking.  When I used to use regular flour I mean that was so simple as it was cup for cup and it did it’s job creating beautiful product.  Really, who has heard of xanthan gum, guar gum, tapioca flour?? I surely had not.  I was frustrated for quite a long time as when I was learning about all of these new strange things and what exactly there job was, as time went on I have learned and adapted to this new way of baking.

    I love that I can bake just like I used to.  I have a great tip to share, when preparing your gluten free pie crust and you don’t them at that very time roll them out and place in a pie plate cover and freeze for when you would like to use them, I find this method really handy as sometimes I don’t have the time to prepare a crust while in a hurry.  I use this pie crust for all sorts of different pies and my Chicken Pot Pie, this gluten free pie crust is very universal.
