Heather hooked me up so that I can start posting recipes. I have had a blast this last year, my first year of marriage to Mr. Weinstein, playing in the kitchen with all my new gadgets let alone my new kitchen. Before I started posting recipes I wanted to fill you in on a few things that my recipes would include. So as most people know I am wheat-free. Often times society doesn't differentiate from wheat-free and gluten-free. I would like to include a little information about that here before I begin posting.
I found an excellent explanation of wheat-free v. gluten-free in case you are interested.
“Wheat-free” means that a person avoids all foods containing wheat. Foods containing wheat are anything made with white or whole wheat flour, such as: cookies, cakes, breads, tortillas, pizza, pasta, pancakes, waffles, most fried food, tempura, dumplings, wontons, etc.; anything made with bulghur such as tabouli; wheat berries; cous cous; sauces that are typically thickened with white flour; soy sauce.
Gluten-free means that a person avoids all foods containing gluten. Gluten is the general term used to describe the protein found in many grains including wheat, rye, barley, spelt, kamut, oat, triticale, semolina, pumpernickel, and farro.

So for my posts if there is anything included in the recipe that has wheat or gluten I will be adding notes on how I made it wheat-free.
WF = Wheat-Free
GF = Gluten-Free
Looking forward to giving you a glimpse into the Weinstein Kitchen!
Love, Kate
