My 1st attempt to bake (success!)

I love to bake. When I was diagnosed with Celiac and learned I had to clear out my kitchen of all baking ingredients, utensils, pans, etc... It was heartbreaking. What was even more overwhelming was the GF baking approach. 18 ingredients later and you have a "flour base" to work with. By this time you've done enough measuring and ingredient reading that you don't even care how the cookies come out!

I discovered one GF flour blend that led me to my first GF cobbler (considering it was 4 months into diagnosis, it was pretty exciting). Premium Gold... http://www.flaxpremiumgold.com/Flax-and-Whole-Grain-All-Purpose-Flour_c12.htm





Here's what I did (P.S. I'm a reckless baker and chef...measuring is an option):

• Sprinkle fresh berries with about a half of lemon (I've done it with blueberries and strawberry/rhubarb)
• Toss ~1Tbs flour and ~1Tbs sugar with cinnamon (a few shakes)-add to berries and give a good mix, then place in 8" or 9" pie dish or square baking pan
• In separate bowl, I used my fingers to blend ~2-3 Tbs of soft butter, ~2-3 Tbs flour and ~2-3 Tbs brown sugar to create a "crumble"-sprinkle on top of berries and bake at ~350 degrees for ~40 minutes (look for bubbling berries and a golden crumble).
• I topped with Vanilla Ice Cream (of course)

There were no leftovers...mostly because is was scrumptious (even my family liked it!) but partially because I just accomplished something that I thought would be nearly impossible...so I was taking it all in, one satisfying bite at a time!
