VEGETARIAN RECIPE: Low FODMAP French Toast

I prefer to cook this frenh toast in a cast iron skillet to give it a nice texture.

Heat cast iron skillet on medium heat for five minutes. After four add a quarter cup of canola oil

1 c Trader Joe's vanilla rice milk
1 t vanilla
1 t cinnamon
1 egg
4 slices Udi's White Sandwich Bread

Note that some of it will fall apart-- but it tastes great anyway!

GFCF Bagels

I just made some really good bagels from a recipe in Living Without Magazine (October/November 2009 issue). If you have a subscription to this magazine (and if you can't eat gluten or dairy, you should) then you can logon and find recipes from past issues (http://www.livingwithout.com/).

Search for the Gluten Free Dairy Free Bagel Recipe.
You'll also have to do a search for the Multi-Grain Flour Blend (don't forget the dash, as it didn't recognize multi grain).

The only thing that got left off in the website is how to top the bagels-- here's how:

To add toppings whisk together 1 egg white and 2 Tablespoons cold water, brush on bagels and sprinkle toppings (poppy seeds, sesame seeds, salt, etc.) over top

The best part is the ones I made have toppings I like (sesame seeds, poppy seeds, salt), but also they aren't sweet like the GFCF bagesls I've bought at the grocery store. They're also more chewy and fresh tasting.

The ones I made aren't as pretty as the ones pictured in the magazine, but I'm sure I'll get better with practice!

Papa Razzi restaurant (GFCF Pasta in MA, WA DC, NJ, NY and RI)

Papa Razzi (http://www.paparazzitrattoria.com/)


GF pasta that they will make to order, so you can get it without dairy. Sometimes it's really good and sometimes it's just okay. It depends on the chef. The main thing is that they are exceptionally careful when it comes to food intolerance issues.
