Pam,
A few months ago, I purchased a Wolfgang
Puck bread maker, refurbished on eBay for $49. It has a gluten free
setting and works great. My kids love to watch the bread mixing in the
glass top.
I've also purchased bread mixes from
"Breads from Anna". They taste and smell wonderful and some of the
mixes suggest no bread maker. (I think it over mixes them and mine
came out wet in the middle. That's what I get for not following the
directions...hehehe) It gets pricy at about $6-7 a box, but then
again, everything is in this lifestyle. But it's minimal ingredients,
throw it in the pan and bake.
One thing I need to try that I learned on
Rachael Ray is for box cakes. She had a guest on, who was teaching to
substitute this for that. So for box cakes, instead of the 3 eggs and 1/2
cup of oil, she used a can of pumpkin and the mix. That was it. It
shaved hundreds of calories off and they showed it with a chocolate cake
and said they couldn't even taste the pumpkin and it was super moist. Not
sure how it would work with the g/f items...but might be worth a shot especially
with egg allergies too. Thought I would pass that on.
Good Luck!
