Hi again.
I had SO MUCH fun cooking today, was just what the soul needed  I made some delicious savoury muffins, recipes as promised Ruchie.
Peppered zucchini, carrot and leek muffins
1 tbsp olive oil
1 medium leek, sliced
1 zucchini, grated
1 carrot, grated
2 tsp garlic
2 cups GF self raising flour
2 tsp curry powder
1 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp ground cumin
3 tbsp oil, extra
2 eggs lightly beaten
1 cup rice or soy milk (I didn't need a whole cup tho, so just pour in enough to make a batter)
Heat oil in pan, add leek, zucchini, carrot and garlic, cook stirring until leek is soft and liquid evaporated.
Sift flour, curry powder and spices into a bowl, stir in zucchini mixture, then eggs, oil and milk.
Spoon mixture into pan, bake in moderately hot oven about 20 mins.
Roasted capsicum, chickpea and spinach muffins
1 tbsp oil
1 onion, finely chopped (optional)
2 tsp garlic
2 cups baby spinach
2 red capsicum
2 cups SR flour
1 cup cornmeal
2 tbsp finely chopped fresh basil
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 1/4 cups rice or soy milk
1/4 cup oil, extra
300g can chickpeans, drained and rinsed
Quarter capsicums, remove seeds and membranes. Grill, skin side up, until skin blisters and blackens. Peel skin away, roughly chop.
Heat oil in pan, add onion and garlic, cook stirring until onion is soft. Add spinach, cook until spinach is just wilted.
Sift flour and cornmeal into a bowl, stir in basil, egg, milk and oil, then spinach mixture, capsicum and chickpeas.
Spoon mixture into pan, bake in moderately hot oven about 20 mins.
I find these muffins are a perfect way to get lots of veges in my diet. They might not quite be your thing, so if they sound a bit too adventerous, try:
Just adding 2 grated carrots & 2 zucchinis to the basic muffin mixture above (which is the SR flour, oil, eggs and milk).
Or try grated carrot and banana.
If you can't get GF self raising flour, then use 1 tbsp GF baking powder to every 2 cups of plain flour (eg rice, corn, buckwheat, potato, tapioca).
Happy cooking!!
Luv T xxxxxx

Whoops, forgot about the egg yolks (which I tolerate fine in cooking). Egg replacement can be used instead of the eggs in these recipes or just use the egg whites.

That looks a lot like mine, but I don't have the blender attachment. I get being excited...blenders are cool!  And soooo useful for IBS.

I will try to work up the courage to make these recipes. I bought a gluten free bread mix....we'll see how that goes  THEN if I can make that....I'll try stuff from scratch!
Thank you SOOOO much for the recipes. Wish you lived closer....we could cook together!
Thanks again...hope you're feeling GREAT! P.S. How are your sunnies?

Ruchie, if it's a yeast bread you're making don't use all the water or milk the mix calls for at first (you can later add a tablespoon at a time if you need it)......you want the dough to be like a thick frosting and beat it as long as you can with a mixer or by hand to incorporate air into the mixture. Also have all ingredients at room temperature. If you have them, or can buy cheap (like at the 99cent store--but not disposables) use small loaf pans as well. GF yeast bread likes smaller pans and not to be to runny or it will fall. All this has been learned from experience as a beginner. As you get more advanced you can experiment to your heart's content. The key is to have a success...if you have to many failures it will turn you off from GF baking. Kandee

THANK YOU THANK YOU Kandee! *hugs*
I am hoping to have my 1st go at it this Sunday. I will let you know if I do!
Do you have Celiac Kandee? I joined that Australian Celiac Group on yahoo that you mentioned in a previous thread when I did a search for GF. Any books/sites you recommend? any tips? I had mustard yesterday and it HURT and I coudn't figure out why. Then I foud out mustard is not gluten free...
Funny story: I went to the HFS yesterday. I asked if the Imagine Soups were GF. They told me no and wouldn't let me have them back! Thelady took them off the conveyer belt and put them aside! LOL it was very cute!
Thanks again Kandee *hugs*

Do you have Celiac Kandee? Gluten intolerant, yes. Celiac Disease? Don't know but the gliadin test, despite being wheat free was positive.(That proves there is a big difference between just being wheat free and gluten free....all those additives and barley, rye, etc.) They can't do an endoscope biopsy because I can't handle the gluten challenge diet...I'd end up in ER. I've been allergic (high IgE) to wheat for 26 years. The first 8 of those I didn't touch even so much as a crumb, then I could handle a tiny amount once a week without a severe attack... but time never changed my sensitivity to it.
I joined that Australian Celiac Group on yahoo that you mentioned in a previous thread when I did a search for GF. Good for you..but it wasn't me. I think it was bevp that posted it...look for her posts for some good info. Any books/sites you recommend? There are lots of groups with many helpful people, like the delphi group and the Celiac.com group. Donna Korn is a great source and if Phx is included on her speaking tour go see her. I saw your quote from her--excellent. any tips? I had mustard yesterday and it HURT and I couldn't figure out why. Then I foud out mustard is not gluten free... Some are, some aren't. Here is a good list.
Funny story: I went to the HFS yesterday. I asked if the Imagine Soups were GF. They told me no and wouldn't let me have them back! Thelady took them off the conveyer belt and put them aside! LOL it was very cute! Where? Whole foods? Nice to know someone is thinking!! Kandee
Thanks again Kandee *hugs*
