I’ve already raved about the Pamela’s Wheat-free bread mix, but here are some more views of the way we use this mix. Part of my survival strategy of feeding gluten-free teens, saving for retirement and college, and having a life outside the confines of my 9×11 kitchen is to find quick and easy, nutritionally sound recipes. This bread mix gives me a very good, gluten-free replacement for honey whole wheat bread and if I order it from Amazon, the cost is close to wheat bread.


This is a turkey vegetable soup made with the potatoes that didn’t get mashed for Christmas dinner, the carrots and celery that didn’t get shoved into the turkey before it went into the oven and a couple handfuls of frozen peas, green beans , and corn from Trader Joe’s. The turkey carcass always goes into the stockpot after it has been stripped of all its meat and that makes soup stock for 3 or 4 meals.
