    Yucky.

    Was 55 here today but dropped suddenly around 3pm. Got almost all the leaves cleaned up for the year off the lawn and around the perimeters..I'll bet I have to do some touch up in the next 2 weeks, then time to flip the contents of my shed.

    Was hoping to squeeze in a bike ride, but the leaves took all day..even to the point I was using the (shitty) headlights on my tractor to finish, plus my back is stiff. Doing tricks on my bike and that don't mix.

    Do you and your wife have experience cooking with almond and coconut flours?

    I’m looking at some keto cookie recipes for Christmas and notice these flours are common. Is it pretty easy to sub these flours for regular flour or is there like an art to it?

    I’m happy I don’t have a lot of mature trees in the yard. So not a lot of leaves. And the ones I do get I can mow over.

    Trees are very pretty in the fall but make a mess

    I get roughly 50 of the paper lawn/leaf bags worth off my yard every fall, and that's not counting grass clippings.

    Part of the issue is the old landfill is across the street, lot of big empty land and the goddamn leaves from there blow over.

    You don’t have the county come buy with a big truck and suck all your leaves up for you?

    We just would need to rake them towards the road.

    Oh I wish that were so. I'm fortunate to have a lawn tractor. Before that it was a bitch to rake up all the leaves or use a blower.

    I’ve used coconut oil, but never coconut flour. I usually use rice flour which is a pretty straight substitute for regular flour. It’s also fairly light which is great for frying.

    We use this a lot which is an exact swap, hence the name...

    I used the cup 4 cup last year to make my family’s dumpling recipe and they turned out great. We had a “dumpling-off” and my gluten free version won vs. my aunt and grandma’s regular batch

    My mom has Hashis like I do. Hashis is heavily correlated with Celiac and gluten sensitivity so we went gluten free together for a period to see how our thyroids did.
    We went to different places that offered gluten free breads and pastas and honestly I do think that stuff tastes better most of the time. Not sure exactly what it is but I think the breads have better texture.

    Gluten free beer though... yeah no. Thats not better.

    I made these when I was doing keto and really enjoyed them. I haven’t tried many others though so I don’t have any comparison.

    @PackCon my girl uses coconut flour for banana muffins. Idk how comparable it is to straight up flour substitute but it works for banana muffins

    Thanks for the recommendation!

    Its better to get recipes from others rather than just go off of Pinterest. Like some of those recipe pictures look a little too perfect to be keto lol

    A friend of mine uses it for banana and almond butter cookies and it turns out well. Hopefully it does just fine with the absence of sugars.

    I didn’t know anything about it until I met my wife. I’ve learned a lot with her being celiac so I could cook for her. The only thing that I think needs work is pasta, although Barilla makes a decent gluten free noodle

    If anyone in this thread is looking to compete in USAPL they just released there new qualifying totals for nationals. It looks like each weight class got about a 100lb increase. Along with needing to re-qualify even if you qualified under the old totals.
