This Gluten-Free Flour Blend is Our Favorite

|
By Amanda Capritto
| Clean Plates Verified
If you bake with gluten-free flour, you know how tricky it used to be to find recipes that worked and ingredients that made sense. Tapioca flour? Potato starch? Sorghum flour? Yeah, those weren’t items in our pantries. And, even if they became household staples, through your own trial and error, making your own gluten-free flour mix can be slightly messy and cumbersome. Invariably, you run out of one of the flours at a different rate from the others, so it feels like you’re always buying flour.

If you tell an avid outdoors person that you enjoy camping, they’re likely to ask you (among a barrage of other questions), “What’s your sleep system?” We campers are deeply familiar with the value of a good sleep setup because no matter what type of camping you’re doing—car camping, backpacking, or tent camping—good sleep is vital to enjoying the next day’s adventures. There’s no shortage of camping cots, camping sleeping pads, sleeping bags and other products to stock your setup.

Interview

What was your first job as a journalist?

My first real job as a journalist was as a business and economics reporter for The Daily Reveille, the LSU campus paper.

How do you prefer to be pitched on stories?

I'm most likely to respond to pitches that show that the PR rep or source did their research on me and my beat. I love a personal touch!

Did you work for your high school newspaper? If so, what did you do there?

Yes, I did! I covered news around clubs and extracurricular activities, and wrote student and teacher features.
