FROM MY "FLAVORHOOD" TO YOU :: FRESH FLOURS

:: gluten free biscuits ::

i started a little feature on my sidebar called

recipe of the month.

 currently, the recipes are from Seattle's Macrina Bakery.

i have linked to the pdf  format. the pages are lovely,

and will fit into a loose leaf binder or file for permanent keeping.

a yummy delivery...

...from my Pacific Northwest "Flavorhood", to you!

i have also placed a link to their blog under my preferred blogs de cuisine.

i may have previously mentioned that when i visited with a nutritionist last month,

she encouraged me to start substituting various types of "flours" into our recipes.

for example, if the bread recipe calls for 3 cups of flour,  go with 2 cups of regular

"wheat" flour and 1 cup "oat" flour.   she also said..."sprinkle a little flax meal

into the mix here and there!"  we need not go gluten-free, but

 i find myself lingering at the "Bob's Red Mill" section at the market now.

 Bob also has a great website too!

 picking and arranging flours has a new meaning at our home now.
  
our little baking station has become quite sophisticated with it's new flour fare.
