Foods. I wants some

I'm just going to take a moment and save off some links. Some of them will be of interest to other sweet tooths, I suspect.

Candy Cane and Egg-nog macarons

A fabulous article on making perfect macarons

Homemade Candy Corn. Honest.

Gluten Free puff pastry Who knew?

Peanut Butter Hot Cocoa

Marzipan macarons. I'm not SO fond of marzipan, but I love almond (I know, go fig). I might like these, though. Especially if I skip the marzipan and just put almond extract in the filling.

Gluten-free champagne cupcakes. I suspect the champagne adds to the leavening power of the mixture. Hmmmmm.

Gluten-free brioche cinnamon rolls. Since I lurves me some cinnamon rolls.

The flour blend I'm going to start out with, in my experimenting

Well, it should keep me out of trouble for a little while, anyway.

I certainly wouldn't wish a GF lifestyle on anyone, but if you have to do it anyway, it's a good time for me! I've been having some issues lately, and it's possible that I might be developing some sort of gluten reaction. I've been thinking about doing the 2 week exclusionary experiment myself, so see if it makes a difference. I JUST got a book from the work library, and haven't even cracked it open yet, so I'm definitely saving your links.

So, ya know, thanks for doing the research for me so I can be lazy. ;)

Happy to be of service. Stay tuned for further updates. ;-)

I think we're going to have to go with a 4-6 week trial, maybe as long as 12. Just because it's going to be pretty hard to judge, I expect.

When they start turning up, I'll maybe do a cookbook review, too.

Very cool! As you know I'm in the beginning stages here and well I guess will be making a lot more than I used to (I love baking so it's not too much a hardship for me)

Thanks for assembling this!

Heh. Look forward to recipe reviews. With pictures.

Also cookbook reviews, as I acquire them. ;-)

We shall see. I've been meaning to try macarons anyway. I wonder if I can convince Anneliese that they're basically oreos.

If you can't, then feel free to overnight them to me and I will find them a good home...

...in mah BELLY!

Because I am a giver. :)

Big of you to throw yourself on that sugary grenade. ;-)

Really interested in trying the candy cane and egg nog ones for Christmas.

Egg nog is like my ‘Diet Kryptonite’. Gods honest truth, I have a friend who intentionally leaves cartons of the store-bought crap in my fridge during the holiday season. Because, even though I know I can make better egg nog from scratch, the store bought stuff is like CRACK to me and I have to struggle to throw it out instead of drinking it.

*shudders*

And yet, I still let that SOB back in my house on a regular basis. *shakes head* I mean, last night he left a WHOLE BOX of cookies when he headed home.

Bastard….
