From Nicole at GFOAS. Great gluten free recipes that really work.
Hey e,
When I had my own very young gluten free child, I started the blog to maybe help you with your gf child. I desperately wanted my son to feel "normal," and like there was at least one place on earth where he could eat anything and everything he wanted.
My gf son is now about to leave for college, and I'm (privately) a bit of a mess. I can't work in the Dining Hall. (I can't, right?)
Will he find friends at all? Will they be willing to wait the extra time it takes for him to get his food, since he has to go out of his way to get something safe?
How often will he choose the "order nothing" option that he mostly has in the past, just so he doesn't have to talk about being GF?
Will he ... drink beer? I'm transitioning from the fear that he'll drink anything in high school to the fear that he'll drink gluten in college.
Anyway, if you're where I am with your GF child, or you ever think of it far off in the future, I'm here, I'm managing, and I'm with you...
From the blog this past week, we made soft and tender cassava flour tortillas with 6 simple ingredients (including salt and water!).
This recipe makes easy, grain-free cassava flour wraps that taste just like "regular" flour tortillas, but without any grains at all.
Then, we made a gluten free cookie cake, which is just a big, sliceable chocolate chip cookie with a fun frosted message.
Use it to celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, and more!
Let's get to it!

Have you ever wondered about baking gluten free with cassava flour (also called yuca flour)? Maybe you're one of the readers who have emailed me about it, even?
Well, these cassava flour tortillas are for you. I added some tapioca starch/flour to help make the raw dough much easier to handle, so it goes from work surface to skillet in one piece.
The tortillas themselves are soft, tender, bendy, and stretchy! And they taste just like "regular" flour tortillas, but they're completely grain free!

This recipe of course makes a pizza-style cake that tastes, well, like a chocolate chip cookie. It's easier to transport than a layer cake, if you're celebrating away from home, and it's the perfect way to make a cookie into a celebration.
We use a bit of a different balance of the basic cookie ingredients (butter/shortening, sugar, vanilla, gf flour, baking soda, salt, chocolate chips), but they should all be familiar to you.
We get it just right, so the cookie dough is easy to shape into a round, and bakes up with a perfect crisp crust and thick and chewy center. You just have to try it!
On Gluten Free on a Shoestring, we make gluten-free food enjoyable & affordable. If they can make it with gluten, we can make it without.
That's a promise!
