Gluten
Sara - You finally have an answer! There are a lot of people who are gluten-intolerant and find avoiding it makes a world of difference in their well-being and overall health. Many people give it up without the medical testing, just to see if it helps. Once they notice the difference, they stay away from gluten permanently. More and more, stores are stocking gluten-free items and gluten-free versions of baking mixes. Our local Publix has a decent selection, and I'll bet your Publix is even better.There are still a lot of options for desserts (LOL) like those famous no-bake/boil cookies that use peanut butter, cocoa, and oatmeal. My MIL used to make her famous "Forgotten Cookies", a meringue confection, that was wonderful:
"Forgotten Cookies"
2 egg whites
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 pkge choc. chips (her recipe does not say 6 oz or 12 oz)
Heat oven to 375°F. Whip egg-whites & sugar to meringue, fold in choc. chips. Drop a tablespoon, or a heaping teaspoon, on to a cookie sheet. Place cookie sheet into oven and turn OFF. Leave overnight (she always made them in the evening) or several hours. Yummy!
Meringue cookies are very popular in parts of Italy. There was one little town DH and I visited, this summer, that had several bakeries and pastry shops that sold very large meringue cookies.
