Having problems with message search?
I recently discovered this group and have enjoyed lurking. My mother-in-law and two children (ages 5 and 2) have celiac. My husband is getting retested this summer; I think he'll get it eventually. He and I used to live in the SF Bay Area, and now we live in Pittsburgh, PA (originally from Buffalo, NY).
My sister-in-law (who doesn't have CD but is a foodie) has an excellent GF challah recipe that I'm waiting to get in the mail. In the meantime, I thought I'd share my MIL's recipe, which she adapted and my kids like, for whatever it's worth!
A question, first: Does anyone have a good GF hamentaschen recipe? My daughter's preschool class will be making them, so I want to make a GF version at home for her to bring in.
Thanks, everyone!
