Gluten Free?!So, what happened this week? Well, I tried something new once again. Mr.Barker and I were talking the other day and we got on the topic of gluten allergies. I was telling him about how I had never made anything gluten free because I figured it would be very complicated. I thought you had to change the idea of the whole recipe and I figured everything would be different. He informed me that it was not like that at all. He told me about how there are easy substitutes for what you can’t use and that everything is pretty much the same. So, after this conversation I decided to try something gluten free and that day I happened to be craving brownies so that is what I made. It's not that differentI expected this recipe to take me a while but it actually only took about an hour which is less than most of my recipes have taken. I started by going to the gluten free section in food lion to find gluten free 1:1 flour. This means that it's a pretty good substitute for normal flour and that is what my recipe called for. They also had other options like almond flour which I would love to try in the future. Besides the flour, the rest of the ingredients were the same as normal. Personally I have never made any brownies besides the boxed ones. This worried me because new experiences can stress me out because I don't really know what I am doing. But it was pretty easy to figure out. All I had to do was melt the chocolate and butter together and then pour my flour and other ingredients into that. They baked for 35 minutes and then they came out of the oven very gooey and delicious. Lessons LearnedTo my surprise, the brownies tasted like normal brownies. In saying this, I learned a life lesson this week. I tend to judge things that I have never tried before I am ever exposed to it at all. This judgment causes me to miss out on opportunities in life and I hope that I remember this lesson when I am faced with an unfamiliar situation.
