Thank you for posting this recipe – it’s delicious! Unfortunately, I have just learned that my 6 year old son is also intolerant to yeast. Is there any way to make this recipe without yeast?

Very good! I had the mix in a wrap with a schmear of southwestern hot ranch dressing! With or without my dressing this mix is fabulous!

Such an amazing and beautiful story. You will find community! Sometimes having a baby opens doors, meeting people at the park, etc. Hopefully you can find older people, too, so you will benefit from their wisdom, Liam will have ‘grandparent’ figures around and they will have the joy of having Liam in their life. Enjoy the journey!

Thanks for writing this. I think I a very similar sensitivity level and comportment to you, and it is very challenging to live with, whether we yell for help or not. We may as well yell for help because as Ani DiFranco says, ‘Maybe the most that we can do is to see each other through it.’

Hugs,
Hannah

I just stumbled upon this recipe last week and thought I would give it a try. It is AMAZING…thank you so much. After so many attempts with other recipes, I was about ready to give up on gf/vegan bread. Did I mention it is AMAZING

I want to thank you for this wonderful recipe! We have been enjoying this for two months now, and this morning I used it to make chocolate chip cookies! I made up the flour mixture, minus the sugar, yeast, and wet ingredients, then followed (an adapted version of) my mom’s old recipe!

2/3 cup vegan margarine (soy free)
1/2 cup cane sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 flax egg (rested in the fridge for 15 min)
1 tsp vanilla
2 3/4 c your amazing bread flour mix!
1/2 tsp soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup mini chocolate chips (dairy, egg free)

Heat oven to 350
Mix margarine, sugar, egg and vanilla thoroughly.
Blend dry ingredients; stir in.
Mix in chocolate chips.
Drop by rounded tsp 2″ apart on parchment covered cookie sheet
Bake 12 min.

I had a hard time reading this, since two of my greatest fears are causing a scene and damaging my vision. Like you, I would have felt the impulse to talk myself out of seeking the help I needed. I’m glad you didn’t.

Wow, Sally. Really glad your eye was not severely damaged and that you listened to your instincts, as difficult as that was, at points.

One of our kids is highly sensitive and even though I am, too, *and I should know better*, I find myself challenged to accept the true communication of his actions and reactions sometimes.

Your post helped, by allowing me to bear witness in a not emotionally/sensory charged moment. Thank you.

You only get one set of eyes; thankfully, as long as you care for yourself, as you did in this situation, that will be all you need. I’m very glad things turned out as well as they did. That’s quite a scare. whew! Ah . . . as for the rest . . . poor humanity–there are those to lack the ability to empathize and those who are highly sensitive. There is no seeming balance between the two and little understanding. Tolerance and acceptance, patience to understand what one has never experienced–those qualities are necessary for both. I live with both, and I think, more than anything, that that is what I’ve learned. Sometimes . . . people just don’t know how to do anything else or to respond any other way. Thank goodness there were people who could help you. — And give up that soap; good grief, if it burned your eye, it couldn’t be doing much for your skin. Use Dove.

I’ve feel like I’ve only recently realized this about myself, even though people have called me sensitive/shy/thin-skinned since I was little, and I’ve been diagnosed with depression/anxiety since high school. But it feels like only in the past year or so that I’ve realized how much I take things to heart…or maybe it’s the realization that I haven’t (and maybe will never) grown out of this sensitivity.

If I read a story about a person who’s being belittled or shamed, or even if I read an article that presents attitudes on one of my hot-button topics, I feel like I’m being attacked. I read a short story two years ago and still have moments of self-doubt because of it.

Or, as I mentioned on Facebook, I had to walk out of Silver Linings because I couldn’t handle watching people like Tiffany’s sister looking down their noses at the protagonist or treating him like a criminal instead of someone who’s suffering from bipolar disorder.
