Jules Gluten Free Flour

I'm not sure where I first heard of Jules but I've read excellent reviews of her flour and how similar it is to white flour. I ordered a sample packet of the flour a while back but the only recipe included was one for blueberry muffins that called for sour cream. Being the savvy cook that I am (not!) I didn't know of any soy free substitutes so I put the flour away until I could find a recipe that called for the 2/3 cup sample.

Then I revisited Jules' website yesterday and saw that they've added 2 new recipes that can be used with the sample packet. One of those recipes is for pancakes and doesn't call for any ingredients that he can't have or at least that I can't substitute. I'll be making those later this week to review.

Also, I found some awesome information on Kathi's blog at http://kathi-gfcf.blogspot.com/ I was searching around for recipes so I can try out some new things for Austin when I came upon her post for homemade taco seasoning. Like Kathi, I just stopped giving Austin the seasoned meat when we have taco night b/c of all of the added ingredients plus soy in the McCormick's mix. Kathi came up with her own mix using basic GFCFSF seasonings and it comes out EXACTLY like the mix!! I don't want to re-post her recipe but you can definitely find it on her blog.
