Comment on My Story: Life & Health by Chantal.
Thank you, Dagmar, for saying hi! And yes, the journey to figuring out what is the root cause of our digestive issues can be exhausting as it seems to be a never-ending battle. Did you ever consider getting tested to see if you have the celiac genes? It wouldn’t necessarily tell you if you do have celiac disease, but if you don’t have one or both genes, then at least you could rule out the possibility. I took the test twice, and I do have the genes, so does one of my boys.

Hi Sara! I’m so happy that you’ve found my recipes! I’m sorry that your daughter has experienced such severe allergy reactions. Not easy for us mamma’s with allergy kids! She’s fortunate to have you learn and bake for her! Please let me know if you ever find a recipe that you would like to try and need some more guidance on substitutions. Thank you for sharing your story and leaving a comment!
My Story: Life & Health
Hi Melody! Thank you so much for taking the time to say hi! It means a lot to me! I’ve kept so much about what I go through for too long! And, you’re right, many of my most troublesome symptoms I often keep to myself. The thing is, why do we do that? It’s not normal to feel this way š Have you seen my new videos on YouTube? It took me a lot of courage, but I finally decided to share a little more about my health story on a new personal channel.

Hi Lisa! Thank you so much for taking the time to write! I really appreciate it! I’m sorry that you, too, are experiencing health issues. It can be so consuming even when we try not to let it take over our lives. I’ve recently found out even more that will surprise you once I share. I’ve been struggling with sharing more of my story, but I will soon. I might even create a videoā¦ I have so much to share, and I’m almost ready to do it!

Yeast-Free Buckwheat Blender Bread
Hi June! I think I might of answered your question on a different platform but I’ll answer here again in case it can help someone else. You can definitely mix in the roughly mashed banana with some add-ins like nuts after the blending step. It creates a more textured bread instead of a smoother texture but it is equally delicious.
Nutritious Gluten-Free Vegan Zucchini Quick Bread (Oil-Free)
Hi Ann! Did you use a preheated Dutch oven to bake the bread? With this recipe, ensuring your oven is preheated as well as a large Dutch oven really helps with the moisture.The smaller grated zucchini is fine. Did you use whole psyllium husk? Was your yogurt very thin?
Yeast-Free Buckwheat Blender Bread
Hi Megan! This is a reply that I shared with another baker with the same question.
I did test the recipe with buckwheat flour, but the results werenāt as great but comparable. Iāve been looking for my notes as I tested this variation before the holidays. The idea would be to use 175g of light buckwheat flour to replace the 175g of buckwheat groats with enough water to moisten the mixture. Youāll need at least one cup of water, possibly a bit more. I would still use a blender to help blend/purĆ©e all the ingredients into a smooth batter-like dough. If you try it before I find my notes or try it again, please share your results with us.
7-Inch Sourdough Boule (GF/V)
Hi Lisa! With the cassava flour sourdough starter did you change any other ingredients in the bread recipe? It’s possible that using a grain-free starter such as cassava starter could have contribute to a dough texture with more moisture. Did you try again after this attempt? I realize you posted your comment a few months ago but I’m just seeing it now.
How To Make Maple Cream
An option would be to boil the pure maple syrup to a little less that 234Ā°F (maybe 233Ā°F) next time and it should be thinner after it’s been hand stirred. If your maple cream is thick but still mixable in the jar you could add a touch of maple syrup and mix it in to make it thinner. Just note that I’ve never tried doing so.
