Finding out you have a food allergy can be devastating.

Finding out you have a food allergy can be devastating. I think my first thought was, "What does that mean?" You ask your doctor and he says just avoid that food. It's just a skin test. They aren't entirely accurate.

I am going to attempt to give you ideas and recipes on how to avoid corn. It can be quite the challenge.

Sorry that my blog is evolving into a little bit of everything in life.

Bread

I'm making bread with King Arthur White Whole Wheat Flour. (Can be corntaminated). Oster bread maker.
Recipe:
1 1/2 water
2 heaping Daisy Sour Cream
2 Tb sugar
1 tsp salt
4 cups flour
1/2 cup ground flax seed
Make a well add 1 pkg envelope red star yeast

Set bread maker on dough. (Today I also set it to be finish after I got home). After the dough cycle give it another 30 minutes or so to re-rise. Gently pressb stop once to stop the dough cycle. Choose the bake cycle and press start. Beautiful baked bread!

If u accidentally restart the dough cycle. I've done this several times! Let the machine mix back into a round for a few minutes or model manually. Stop the dough cycle. Let the bread rise and then choose the bake cycle.

Corn Free Baking Powder

There is corn starch in traditional baking powder, and beside I think they charge to much.  Here's my recipe.

I use Arm & Hammer baking soda. When I was first starting with this I used vinegar as my acid. I am now using Mc Cormick or Frontier cream of tartar. 1 tsp baking powder is basically 1/4 teaspoon baking soda to 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar. If you are using vinegar instead add about 1 teaspoon and just stir in at the end of the recipe. I found I needed to add a bit of sugar to counter the vinegar.

Drying Celery

I grew celery for the first time. I dehydrated it. Chop off white bottoms. Cut into 6 inch pieces. Blanch 1 minute. Chop into 1/4 inch pieces. Dry between 115 - 135. I dried the leaves not blanched. I read a suggestion to just freeze the leaves, but they were really big, so I dried them.

Ground Beef
In my coffee spice only grinder I powdered dry Sage, Fennel Seed, Rosemary, Oregano. Add Salt, Powdered or minced Onion, minced Garlic, 1/4 cup water. Mix together and refrigerate over night.
I use McCormick Fennel seed, Real Salt. Home Grown: Powdered green onion, garlic, sage, rosemary, and oregano. These spices are pretty easy to grow.
