We use some silly words around our two houses. Everything often has "faux" in front of it! Or we replace the first letter with an "f" -- to symbolize fake/faux. We also use some of the same products over and over again. When you find something you like and you can't really eat that much.... you stick with what you like!
So when you read:
1) Futter -- it really means our favorite butter alternative. The amazing people over at Earth Balance have actually created a margarine-type spread that is soy and dairy free. Did you know that margarine is made with soy?
2) Shortening -- we are referring to the best butter substitute for baking. Palm oil shortening. And no, this is not the palm oil that everyone said was bad for you -- this is actually the pure stuff. No words you can't pronounce in the ingredients! The best brand (meaning free of other allergens as well) is Spectrum Shortening
3) Gluten Free Flour Blend -- we stole this from Cybele Pascal. She really got us hooked on baking allergen free. But since we aren't all that talented (yet) in playing with different flours, we have been sticking with her blend which is: Mix together 4 cups fine brown rice flour, 1 1/3 cups potato starch and 2/3 cups tapioca flours -- then put in a airtight container and put in the fridge!
More on the products we love at a later date! But we have discovered "foreos!!"
