Okay, call me lazy - but my son has been gluten free for 2 years now and I have yet to buy guar gum. Does anyone even know what guar gum is? I went looking on the web last night to see what the other gfcf moms are cooking this holiday season - and I remembered why I stopped looking on line to see what other gfcf moms are cooking. Because I'm pretty sure that they have more time than I do. I don't have time in the morning to make pancakes from scratch - there are a lot of mornings where I don't have time to add water to the GFCF pancake mix that my son loves - so instead he gets toast and eggs.
I do cook, but most of what I cook takes 15 minutes or less to cook - that's how much time I have, realistically. Yes, over the last two years there have been times when I have ventured to "cook" something - like when I attempted to make hummus from scratch - my son loves hummus and the company that we buy it from changed the recipe and added, cultured dextrose, which makes our kid a little nutty. So I tried to make it myself - after 3 very messy attempts (all of which yielded fabulous tasting hummus that my son refused to eat because the texture was different) I found another brand of hummus that doesn't have cultured dextrose. The new hummus comes in individual serving sizes in a tetra pack so it doesn't have to refrigerated - perfect for Disneyland, car trips and my son's earthquake survival kit at school. And the best part? Instead of standing over my food processor, I have time to spend with my lovely, beautiful child. I'm good with not owning guar gum!
