Just in Time for the Holidays
The Texas Homesteader Wheat-Free Cookbook is in print.
Hoping to bring the joy of food into the lives of those who cannot eat wheat, I decided to write the Texas Homesteader Wheat-Free Cookbook. I know what it is like to receive the diagnosis of a food allergy. It is a sad moment. I have said it before, but you truly do go through a grieving process. You begin thinking about all the bread, cookies, and cakes that you will no longer be able to eat. You stress over meals, especially when you are away from home. The holidays with all the different traditional foods like dressing, dinner rolls, and pumpkin pie seem completely off-limits.
Now you can look forward to special occasions and holidays again. It has been a labor of love. I have spent so much time converting my family recipes into ones that my family could still eat after being diagnosed with a wheat allergy. I grew so tired of wasting money at the supermarket buying expensive name-brand mixes and products only to find out that they were inedible. The last time we purchased a chocolate cake mix and made it, I could not finish it. When I cannot finish a piece of chocolate cake, then you can rest assured there is something majorly wrong with it.
At that moment, my husband really encouraged me to write my own cookbook. He said, “People like us (with food allergies) need to know that they are not deprived.” You can still enjoy waffles, pancakes, and biscuits for breakfast. You can still have dinner rolls and bread. You can still enjoy cakes, pies, brownies, and cookies. With my combination of blanched almond flour and sorghum flour, you can enjoy the foods you thought you would never eat again.
The Texas Homesteader Wheat-Free Cookbook not only includes delicious and easy to make recipes, but it includes holiday menu ideas, resources, links, and my favorite gluten-free items. Months ago when I announced that I was working on a cookbook in “Writing an E-Cookbook,” I explained why I did not call it a gluten-free cookbook.
Most of my recipes are gluten-free. Just a few include oats, which is a controversial grain for anyone with Celiac disease. There are gluten-free oats available to purchase. I do not want to argue either side; however, you know what you can tolerate. If you cannot eat oats, then there are only a few recipes in the entire book to avoid. If you can, then enjoy each and every recipe.
As promised, I will be sending my first 10 subscribers their e-cookbook free of charge this coming week. Thank you for supporting me from the beginning. For a hard copy or a downloadable e-book, click here or go to my “Fresh from the Farm Store” page. You can also go directly to my Texas Homesteader’s Storefront on Lulu.
If you do not have a problem with wheat, then please be excited with me. I would appreciate any support either through a kind word through my e-mail or comments or spreading the word for me. Word of mouth has tremendous power.
Congratulations!
I know how hard you have worked on this and I am very proud of you.
