More Gluten-Free Foods Than Ever
NATALIE MIKLES World Scene Writer
Posted Aug 13, 2010
The good news for those on gluten-free diets is the increase in
gluten-free cookies, breads and other baked goods on the market.
Just a few years ago, only a few brands were available at select
stores. Today, most grocery and specialty stores carry a good number
of foods safe to eat for those with celiac disease or gluten
allergies.
But what if you want to make them yourself? The transition to a
gluten-free diet can be particularly difficult for those who love to
bake, but cookbooks and food sites are opening the door to recipes
for better-tasting baked goods.
Below you'll find a good one for a toffee bar that doesn't look
or taste gluten-free. For more recipe ideas, check out Taste of Home
magazine's top 10 gluten-free recipes, including those for peanut
butter kiss cookies, chocolate chip muffins, pecan pumpkin cake and
pizza crust. Go to tulsaworld.com/glutenfreetop10 .
