"Fake" GF food tastes awful!

[Fidissimus]

Computerdyslexic I'm so glad to hear that you want to keep trying to eat GF foods. I sincerely do hope you'll find the right recipes/products that will eventually make you happy with eating and sticking to this diet. The transition can sometimes be rough but it's so very worth it in the end.

I'll put out another "vote" for the GF PAntry French Bread, as long as you eat it fairly quickly or have a large family. This is one of the ONLY GF breads I've tasted that has a nice crust.

Bob's Red Mill GF bread mix in the bread machine is good straight out of the machine, too, and if you keep it in the fridge to hold off the spoilage, you can slice and toast it and it still tastes pretty good. It also makes a good grilled cheese sandwich IMO.

One of the local GF bakeries in Madison (The Silly Yak) also suggests zapping goodies in the microwave in a very slightly damp paper towel (I just flick a few drops of water on it) so it tastes fresh again, and this works pretty well on frozen things in my experience.

I'm feeling brave this year, so I may start experimenting with Betty Haggeman's (SIC?) recipes a bit, as I've heard wonderful things about them.
