George – OK, that’s helpful! Thanks!

Kim, I know. I know! It does work actually and I think it smells better than what I’d been buying. True, it isn’t summer yet… but overall, all good.

I can’t believe you made your own deodorant. Way to go, you! Now…does it work?

Flour is the glue that holds ingredients together in cookies — if you have something else to ‘glue’ the ingredients (in this case oatmeal), you don’t need flour. There are many flourless cakes where the glue and body are beaten egg whites and/or ground nuts: these are the tortes. But in many baked products flourless means dry and flat.

Niki, Cool – I’d love to hear how you like the Melaluca version.

TJ, Sounds great!

Jacqui, A wedding cookie table! That sounds perfect!

Bianca, Ha! So true.

Sprout, Well thank you! I hope you do!

Oi, That is an excellent question and one I should probably mention on the blog soon. The short answer is – I am loving it. Having missed the white stuff at all (well, maybe a little when fresh-baked things are nearby, but in terms of cooking, not at all).

I made cookies today. The good old Nestle recipe tweaked. Added a bit of baking powder and a bit of milk. I’m getting positive reviews from the roommates! Im curious to try the flourless route.
How has life been without white sugar and flour. Im curious, b/c I have begun to realize how big a role those two things play in my life.
