Bread, milk--okay, our two favorite subjects here

June 13, 2001

Okay, now, I am trying gluten-free bread recipes. Either they come out

where I practically crack my teeth on them, or they are fine looking and

fine sounding (hollow) but raw in the middle. If I give up, are there any

good pre-made breads that I could use? Also, does anyone have a good

recipe for a millet-based bread? Someone told me millet is the most

acceptable grain for low-carb diets. Thanks. I will try it, but I've

never been good at making bread, even regular bread in the oven, even

regular bread with a breadmaker. The only breads I've been successful

with are cornbread and quick breads (which usually become muffins around

here). Now, I am trying to limit soy, corn, and rice, here. I don't know

about the soy, though--only the Tofutti products bother me with that.

I've eaten tofu and soy cheese, and that didn't bother me. Maybe possible

gluten in Tofutti? The Better Than Cream Cheese and their ice cream

really does me in.

Also, it looks like I may need to go milk-free, too. I keep getting sick

from overt milk products; I keep thinking that I might feel better

without any milk at all.

One question--What brand of nut milk do you recommend (since I am trying

to lower my carb intake as well)? I've heard of Naturally Almond and Blue

Diamond's Almond Breeze. Also, coconut milk (I know it's not fortified,

but it is yummy); I've used this for recipes. I learned 1:1 coconut

milk/water for a drinkable consistency. As long as I take a multi-vitamin

and calcium supplement daily, is this okay?

Okay, a list of high-potassium foods that are not fruits or starches, if

anyone has one. I know spinach is one (and I like that), but too much

gives me bad poopies.
