Almost Betty Crocker... Almost.

Chloe and I tried our hands at home-made bread making. I don’t know if anyone else in the world experiences this but, I have HUGE anxiety issues when it comes to cooking or baking something for the first time. I obsess over the ingredients, the instructions, the EVERYTHING… I feel so out of sorts and out of control. And, this was no different when trying to make my first loaf of gluten-free bread. But, instead of being a total control freak about the process, I decided to have Chloe help me. Even though, I’m pretty sure I said a thousand times, “don’t touch that, it’s hot!” “let Mommy help you crack the eggs” or “let’s wash your hands again” we managed to make (or at least set-up the bread maker properly to make) a small perfect loaf of gluten-free bread. And, we had a great time bonding in the kitchen. Double Success! Now, as for the bread – it DEFNINTELY looked more perfect than it tasted. There’s something so disappointing about gluten-free recipes; maybe it’s the mixture of brown rice four, tapioca flour and xantham gum… I know: who’s heard of such ingredients? Blech! I’m still searching for the PERFECT GF Bread Mix…
