I still have Silkie chicks, if folks are thinking they'd like to add a few fabulous broodies to their farms this year.

Then at the same health food store I buy 1 # each of:

Buckwheat Flour, Brown Rice Flour, Coconut Flour, Potato Flour,Oat Flour and Quinoa Flour...all GF & mix in a huge bowl....then 1 gal zip lock double bag & keep in the freezer.

I use this flour mix in all regular recipes but add a bit of Xanthum gum in each recipe.

Works great for bread.

In bread I add flaxseed, almonds crunched & sunflower seeds.

I will send you the GF bread recipe as soon as I get a moment to myself !

Oh what a life!
