I'm Duke, she/they pronouns, but not too attached to either.
Last gluten free thing was yogurt last night because 9 out of 10 breakfasts is yogurt with granola. If I've got milk and a little yogurt left, I'll make another batch and it's super delicious.
I love love love baking sweet things. It's my favorite. I've experimented a tiny tiny bit with savory stuff but ehhh. I've been baking generally for about ten years now, in college when I had free reign of the oven, I made tiered cakes and eclairs, and bread once a week. Since I had to go gf four years ago, I've worked my way back up to that level. Anything with pastry cream is my favorite thing. Sometimes pastry cream just eaten with a spoon is dessert. I actually sold gluten free stuff at a farmers market for a couple of months to make some extra money.
I bake A Lot, at least once a week generally and sometimes multiple things in a day or more than once a week. Sometimes I have all day baking sessions. I generally freeze excess things or give it to friends, who aren't gluten free but enjoy it and give me eggs in exchange. It's only me and Jade (roomie/bff, not gf) in the household and she forgets to eat stuff if I don't actively remind her so giving it away helps. I'm very good at converting recipes to gluten free except for breads :(
I'm actually interested in more cooking ideas, mostly because I'm not that great at cooking. If I could survive on plain rice with frozen vegetables I probably would, but I can't and also that got boring. I have a lot more restrictions with cooking than baking but that's just texture aversions mostly.
I'll be posting and commenting and I'll probably be posting a bunch in the next few weeks because I was digging in my freezer and realized I have a lot of fruit in there that needs to get used up. Yay!
I'm ambivalent about fruit pies, but I love a chocolate cream pie with whipped cream and also on a technicality: boston cream pie
(how many times can I notice something I want to change in five minutes)
