new gluten free flour

Clicking around online one evening I came across a new to me gluten free flour.  Its even made right here in Seattle!

They make five different types of flours as well as fresh pasta!  The local store that carries the flour, does not carry the pasta :-(  The initial price tag is scary only because the flour comes in 5 pound bags.  The calculator tells me that is about $3.50 a pound which if I am remembering correctly is less expensive than Bob's Red Mill GF flour.

Tonight's dinner is Split Pea Soup and rolls.  Usually I buy regular rolls for the rest of the family and just do not have any myself, but with a heart full of fresh optimism I will be making GF rolls.

If you have been reading the blog for over a year you know that I used to be a great bread baker.  Made bread almost everyday and LOVED doing it. Last year was what I am going to call my transition year.  It took about 6 months after being diagnosed with Celiac to completely give up wheat.  I really did not understand the damage even just a few crumbs can cause.  Once I worked out the kitchen to eliminate cross contamination and gave the family lectures about the hazards of even a wee bit of wheat, I felt pretty good.  I quickly learned that GF bread blows and I became comfortable with not eating bread at all.  Here we are in 2012 and I would like this year to tbe the year I get my bread back.  Not by paying $7 for a small loaf of previously frozen, pretty awful, GF bread, but by pulling my baking hat down over my ears and getting to work.
