Gluten Free Baking?

Sugar, Butter, Flour.  All the things I love to mix when baking.

Because I have hypothyroidism, I haven't baked much.  I mean I can, it's just that I'll want to eat all that tasty goodness and I'm really doing my best (at times) to stay away from it.

Dang thyroid.

However, I would like to start experimenting with baking goods that will be Gluten Free.  First i must find a GF Flour mix that will stand up to the recipe's i love.

Because I'm following a strict plan that not only disallows Gluten, but on my naughty list includes the staples in any chola's cabinet of: Sugar, Butter, Alcohol (hey it's used to make extract) and I'm sure some other items that i can't bear to type that may inhibit my endocrine.

But if I'm good 80% of the time...i can be just a little naughty 10% of the time.  Hey the 10% went to the 'give or take a few' category. =)
