Nice work Robert, a.k.a. kick-ass-bread-baker guy!! Looks awesome.
Heather......I can bake bread, and you were right, it's good!!
Just so you all know, there is molasses in the mix and it tastes a bit like a hearty rye, which I like, but may not be for everyone.
I don't know Heather, it looks to me like you've got a good 9 inches by 2 feet of counter space there!
Ha. Oh MY GOODness that GF bread looks divine. I think what I miss more than bread is the act of baking. I love to bake. So this will be fun. I'l…
OK, I know some of that was about me??lol Maybe I should just send you some cash and you could send me the bread?? Looks AWESOME, I guess you've convinced me; I'll hit Community Foods and pick up a package. Cheers!!
A lot of people that go gluten free miss bread more than anything else. It's an excellent platform on which to spread yummy things, you can put two pieces together for a sandwich and stuff it in a jersey pocket, dunk it in soup, soak up sauce... it…
Just posted some decent bread recipes in the recipe section if you're interested.
I am a big fan of Nature's Path Gluten Free "Mesa Sunrise" cereal - it comes in those handy, giant ECO packs too.
My unstructured holiday training is coming to an end as of tomorrow with an early group swim including a 2000m time trial just for kicks.
I managed to stay pretty gluten free over the holidays, but every time I fell of the wagon I payed for it!

Thanks for the link to that article, Robert. I am trying to find a copy of the primary journal article to find out more about the study methodology. 10 people is definitely too small for proper statistical significance, and it would be interesting t…
Awesome Heather..there is a new study that found gluten free diets may be detrimental to the health of gut bacteria..this is something I am keeping a close eye on based on the input and feedback on this site. Since its only ONE study, I don't yet be…
After eating gluten free for 4 days, I decided to have a gluten free-for-all (a.k.a my regular diet) on day 5, yesterday, to see if I noticed anything.
Here is what I had:
Breakie: small bowl cheerios with banana and almond milk, two pcs sprouted g…
I love corn grits too - totally gluten free (and free of soy lechtin too!) To add a little protien to the bf I have 2 egg whites mixed w/ one whole egg. GF Lunch is the hardest meal for me but in a pinch there's always a salad!
So far so good. I have been enjoying the change in diet and feel excellent energy-wise. All that has stood out this early on, is that I feel less bogged down digesting my morning gluten free hot cereal, than I do after the usual sprouted grain toast…

- About me
- I started competing as a professional triathlete in 2008 and I won Ironman Coeur d'Alene while still working full-time as a scientist with Natural Resources Canada. In February of 2009, my husband and I decided to bite the bullet and fully commit our dream of being World Class Long Distance Triathletes. We sold our home in Victoria, Canada, bought an RV, and traveled to southern California to train full-time. We live on the road with 100% passion to our sport.

If I can bake GF-bread, so can you!
A lot of people that go gluten free miss bread more than anything else. It's an excellent platform on which to spread yummy things, you can put two pieces together for a sandwich and stuff it in a jersey pocket, dunk it in soup, soak up sauce... it is an all around handy calorie source.
However, a lot of pre-made GF breads either totally suck, or cost a ridiculous amount per loaf ($11 honestly!??!?)

Going long-term
My unstructured holiday training is coming to an end as of tomorrow with an early group swim including a 2000m time trial just for kicks.
I managed to stay pretty gluten free over the holidays, but every time I fell of the wagon I payed for it!
Couldn't say no to the Christmas-morning sticky buns - brutal stomach ache during my easy ride in the afternoon. A couple pieces of veggie pizza at a triathlon group meeting - bowled over in the fetal position with bloating and stomach pains for the rest… Continue

Gluten test on day 5
After eating gluten free for 4 days, I decided to have a gluten free-for-all (a.k.a my regular diet) on day 5, yesterday, to see if I noticed anything.
Here is what I had:
Breakie: small bowl cheerios with banana and almond milk, two pcs sprouted grain raisin toast with Earth Balance, no soy, butter-like substance.
Post swim: orange
Lunch: spinach salad with tomato, yellow pepper, cucumber, brown rice and a bit of salmon with homemade balsamic dressing
Run, Medicine ball core stuff
Snack: apple… Continue

Gluten free - 2 days in
So far so good. I have been enjoying the change in diet and feel excellent energy-wise. All that has stood out this early on, is that I feel less bogged down digesting my morning gluten free hot cereal, than I do after the usual sprouted grain toast with almond butter and banana.
After two more days am going to do a little gluten test to see if I notice any changes in my digestion. I have generally eaten a fair bit of Silver Hills Sprouted grain bread - it is made without flour and has great ing… Continue
