ok lets cover the bread issue first...
mum makes bread in her breadmaker, she uses a basic white bread recipie thats in the book that came with the maker, follows the recipie EXACTLY...
but the bread always comes out VERY heavy/dense...
she uses a bread flower...
weve tried taking it out of the breadmaker imediatly, and tried leaving it in the breadmaker to cool, both methods give us the same results of a very dense bread...
now in terms of tastes, its YUMMY, especially warm with a good amount of butter spead on it...
but we cant figure out why were not getting the ligth and fluffy results everyone else gets.
also does anyone have a good breadmaker recipie for a gluten free bread. mum might be allergic to gluten, but is addicted to bread, and i think trying to switch away from gluten would be easier if she coudl still have a limited gluten or gluten free slice for toasting in the mornings.
part 2:
Quinoa...
ive reacently discovered this wonderfull little seed, being wheat and gluten free, and being a complete protein and so filling, its not "perfect" for me since surgery (being a 1/4 cup serving has 30g carbs), but when i need a pasta fix i sub in the quinoa and YUMM.
im playing with recipies to use it a little more, i have a wonderfull turkey meatloaf that im still playing with (needs still more seasnig as its turkey lol)
and tonight im having 2oz of chicken tenderloin, a home made low fat seasame ginger marinade/dressing with quinoa. OMG its so yummy!
i can only eat about 1/8th of a cup, so its realy not too bad (a full 1/4 cup is my max carbs per meal lol)
being its wheat and gluten free i think it would also be a great sub for my mum, so id love to hear what yall do with it...
breakfast lunch and dinner
my parrots LOVE it too!
