I tried quinoa this morning. Yuck. But I managed to eat it.
I use 8th Continent soy milks. They are pretty good, as far as soy milks go. For hot chocolate when I was sick, I heated up the chocolate soy milk and added some Da Vinci hazlenut syrup I already had for my latte machine. Yum.
The Lactaid definitely has an aftertaste to it, but it's tolerable.
I will definitely have to get a Crock Pot next.

My spin instructor last year gave us some samples of an energy bar called "green". It actually was green inside, which looked yucky, but it tasted pretty yummy. Made with dates, figs, and bean sprouts, as I recall. Don't remember whether there were any grains, egg, wheat, dairy, soy or fats in it, but it might be worth looking up.

OTG- have you tried Lara Bars?
www.larabar.com
their website is a bit slow, oh well. Around here I can find Lara Bars just about everywhere, and can buy them by the case at Costco."If Americans want to live the American Dream, they should go to Denmark." - Richard Wilkinson

I've tried the Lara bar. It was o-kay. But they're not readily available here. And no Costco nearby. I paid $1.57 for one at the specialty Amish store and I've never seen them anywhere else. Had never even heard of them before celiac.
I might buy a case or something through the Internet come summer.~ Susie

OTG,
I like Larabars. Some taste better than others. Watch www.drugstore.com as they will have special sales on cases of them. My local grocery store carries them, but buying them online is much, much leass expensive for me.Jennifer

From the Web site, there are only 2 Larabars that are labeled as gluten-free: lemon and cinammon.
