I made tostadas again. This whole gluten/dairy-free thing might work out okay with awesome tostadas like this as a fallback.
Base: Spicy avocado/tomatillo mash, then spiced beef, cabbage, pico de gallo, and tomatillo salsa. Homemade tortillas I just crisped up with some oil in the oven on a tray.
I honestly think the crunch of the tostada makes you go I AM BEHAVING BADLY even though this is an incredibly healthy meal with just 2 tablespoons beef on each. #cooking #food
You had to go gluten free?
@TheJen I am going gluten and dairy free to see if it helps with some persistent health issues. Hard decision to make but I’m treating it like a challenge. I just need to find and learn the good recipes for about 5 things.
Already got pancakes and waffles sorted. Need a good “flour” tortilla, a bread, and a pasta recipe. And the time to do it, but I might have that sooner than later.
@snarkysteff Awesome! Sort of. For the tortillas, might I suggest cassava flour. Works pretty well. I will be paying particular attention to what you come up with now. :)
I was always so jealous of your bread before. Haha. But you're so much fun to watch when you're doing new things in the kitchen. :)
@TheJen sigh! I love that bread. Yeah, there is a woman who was on Australia Masterchef who was celiac and her stuff was incredible. She now has a book, but it’s only in Australia, except for Kindle, so I ordered the Kindle. Has a pasta and bread recipe I’m keen to try.
But flour tortillas, I was gonna try this recipe —
How do you do them with cassava flour?

But very interested in the Australian baker you mentioned. It's impossible to make yeast bread at my elevation, but quick breads work. I have found the Bob's red mill 1:1 flour to be excellent for most things, and it does convert well for the most part. I used to make my own flour blends until Bob's came along with this one. No legumes in it at all.
@TheJen this is Melanie Persson, and this is her gf bread:
Excellent! Thanks!
Ugh I need to get well soon so I can cook again.
Oh god no. Diagnosed with severe sleep apnea about 3 months ago. Apparently, I have had this practically my whole life. I am a very sick girl. On CPAP therapy now. Improving every day. It's just a long, boring slog.
Yep! Still no covid. Still a hermit. Lol
