I love french onion soup, but the prep is a killer.

Yummy!

I can't wait to try it

This is SO my strategy for any recipe I suspect may have gone awry. Sourdough makes anything better.

Last night I made gluten free chicken and gravy. I have perfected the GF roux, which makes me so very happy.

What gf flour do you use to make your roux? Brown rice seems gritty to me.

Busy day today so I think I'm going to make chicken sesame noodles. I can make it this morning and let it sit in the fridge all day and then pull it out just in time for dinner.

I used brown rice flour The Bob's Red Mill Brand. I also have had luck with the white rice flour, and especially the sweet rice flour (which is super expensive here) and my friend has had luck with the potato flour. I found I have to cook it a little longer and use slightly more flour than I would with regular.
