Evolution of the baker:
Nephew's gluten, corn and dairy allergies are discovered with a climax of ER visits.
Sister has to learn how to cook in a way that she's not just cooking for one person, and then again for the rest of her family.
I visit her, she visits me... and in helping cook for both family's I am taught how to modify and/or eliminate the allergy foods that I would normally have in my menu line up.
Then around the beginning of 2015 I realize that there are severe gluten intolerances with two of my four kids...
I cannot adequately explain how blessed I felt in the beginning of 2015 that I not only had a firm knowledge of how to transition what gluten we were eating out of our family's main diet; but how blessed I felt with the experience of being taught and guided by my own sister.
The transition wasn't scary.
It wasn't overwhelming.
It was a deep breath and an "OKAY".
I can do this.
I haven't given up baking... (My sugar purchasing and consumption prove that quite quickly.) I've learned to become modified in all things baked.
Here's my apple crisp, GLUTEN-FREE and no one will even know...
NOTE: If you're not having to modify for yourself or your family, at the end of the post you can find the original recipe un-modified and using all-purpose flour.
