Hi, swag1, and welcome to this forum. It's not as active as it once was, but the people here are very nice. Feel free to ask questions, make comments, vents, etc. You also might want to read some of the old posts, because they contain lots of helpful info. In addition to this forum, there are also groups on Facebook for sharing recipes. Also, if you need recipes, Pinterest has more than you can make in a lifetime. I have nearly 12,000 pins, most of which are gluten-free recipes and a majority of which are for "goodies." Best wishes to you.

Hi nanny1611, thank you for your warm welcome. I appreciate the information that you have provided and look forward to reading the past posts. Thank you for the suggestion of Facebook groups, I will have to look into that. I do have a Pinterest board for gf goodies also, but no where near as many pins as you. What types of gf goodies have you been successful in making? Any favorites? I appreciate your feedback.

Hello I'm new too. Just signed up at DS yesterday :)

Welcome to this group, Jessica. I hope you will be encouraged here. As I mentioned to swag1, feel free to ask questions, make comments, or vent when needed. We understand.

@swag1
I've made several goodies that I like, such as quinoa chocolate cake, grain-free cookies from almond flour, grain-free brownies, bean bread, oatmeal-banana muffins, and GF sourdough bread. I'm also working on making GF donuts. Tried several, most of which were good, but trying to develop one basic dough that I can use for different flavors, such as chocolate, lemon-chia seed, lemon-blueberry, pumpkin, etc. I also like to make mug cakes. It's easy to take even a gluten mug recipe and make it GF, because of the small amount of flour being used. You just replace the regular flour with GF AP flour.

@Jessica and @swag 1
If either of you want to check out my pins, my Pinterest name is Davida M. Schwartz. A good Facebook group is Gluten Free Connections. And some good GF blogs are: The Gluten-Free Homemaker, Gluten Free on a Shoestring, Petite Allergy Treats, and others. Best wishes to both of you.

Thanks :)

WELCOME !!! So Glad You Found Us !

I just found a recipe for grain-free apple dumplings and thought I'd share it with you. They look so good, but I haven't tried them yet. If you try them, let us all know how they turn out.

Hi Jessica,

I have been reading some of the old posts and they seem to be helpful. I look forward to talking with you more. Hope you are doing good.

MGOhio,

Thank you for the welcome! It is so great to be able to talk with others who understand what it is like to have to be gf.

Nanny1611,

The recipe looks great, I just printed it out. I will definitely have to try it out, I'll let you know when I do. I did have success making some gluten free hamburger buns last night. They actually tasted good, texture was nice, and even my non-gf hubby liked them. The recipe was from the gf baking classics cookbook, but did not add gelatin. They turned out great.
