So a few months back I found out I was allergic to wheat. We're not talking "oh i have a tummy ache. I must be gluten intolerant.", i get horrible skin rashes from eating wheat. this wasn't a sudden thing either. i've had severe eczema most of my life, i just figured out what triggered it in february.

so, now i eat gluten free. most of the time it pisses me off because the replacements for the things i like to eat taste fucking horrible. the tasty-cake gluten free chocolate chip cookies? they taste like crunchy vegetable oil with chocolate chips. gluten free bread? tastes like bland nothing (except udi's, that shit is GREAT). the rice pizza crust? tastes like rice pizza crust. so in a sense it's good because it forces me to eat healthier.

onward to tonight's fabulous dinner.
i can't really cook often here because we live with other people and it's hard for me to really cook without cross-contamination so most of my meals are pre-packaged and or salads.

this evening for dinner i decided to have pancakes. typically i use pamela's pancake and baking mix, so far that's my favorite because the gluten free bisquick is ehhhhhhhh. well, i mix my pamela's mix and i decide to crumble up and throw in the rest of my blueberry stilton cheese. it tasted awesome.
the end

Dude I think my grandma tried to get me to eat Stilton when I was a kid, isn't that the shit that looks like it's loaded with dead bugs?

If so, I hope you know there's a special circle of hell for people who ruin pancakes.

Also, I'm eating wings that came free with a pizza from dominos. Boy do I know why they're free

I found out 2 months ago I was allergic to wheat also. And I've had keratosis pilaris most of my life, which is a bunch of small bumps on my skin and it looks like it's going away since I stopped eating wheat completely also. Have you found any kind of recipe for pizza crust that is good? Every time I've made pizza crusts from gluten free mixes from the store. I've tried 4 different kinds and they all taste yeasty, and that aftertaste stays with me for over a day. Also, have you also noticed that gluten free breads taste like stale bread?

Udi's Gluten-free whitebread tastes great fresh without being toasted. but once those breads get frozen you HAVE to toast them. All other gluten-free breads need to be toasted. Honestly I never buy anything but Udi's nowdays.
pizza crust is tricky. I don't think i would trust gluten-free pizza crust mix personally. now, i live with my soon-to-be in-laws. I can't do alot of cooking here so i haven't been able to experiment. if you look online there are lots and lots of recipes for gluten free pizza crust. Most of the manufactured ones are rice flour based. they're kinda ehhhhh. the best one i've had so far was at a place called the Mellow Mushroom in raleigh nc. theirs tasted potato flour based. it was sweet and soft! it gets soggy, but i put it in the fridge for a couple of days and reheated it and it was still good.
this sounds like a good recipe for pizza crust:

as soon as i get my own house i will be doing all sorts of gluten free baking experimentations

i wish you luck!
let me know how it turns out for you if you try it!
