GLUTEN-FREE CHEESE BREAD!

Here is a GREAT recipe from one of my clients Claudine Pender, owner of Restory in North Vancouver. This recipe was originally published here.

 

BECAUSE CHEESE IS ALWAYS A GOOD IDEA.


I am excited to share with you this recipe! EVERYBODY asks me about it… My friends, and their friends… and I have texted and emailed and bragged about it… LOL!


I used to have an OLD recipe that did not seem to work the same every time I made it, so I looked into my books and finally found one recipe that worked!!!!


Without further ado… here it is!!!

Preheat over to 400F.

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups of tapioca starch
  • 1 1/2 cups of grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tbsp oil
  • 1 tbsp margarine
  • 1 cup of warm milk

Step by step!

2 CUPS OF TAPIOCA STARCH

1 1/2 CUPS OF GRATED PARMESAN CHEESE

THIS WHAT I USED

MARGARINE, OIL, AND EGG

Ok, so put the 2 cups of Tapioca and the 1 1/2 of Parmesan in a bowl. Make kind of a “well” in the middle, and add 1 tbsp of margarine, 1 tbsp oil (any oil, I used Grape seed, but have used canola and olive oil before) and whole egg.


In the meantime, heat 1 cup of milk in the microwave (I heated 1 cup of milk for 1 minute and it was perfect).


Slowly, mix from the little “well” outwards, trying to incorporate the tapioca into the wet ingredients. Add the milk slowly.


It will probably not take the whole cup.


INCORPORATE THE WET INGREDIENTS


Work on it from inside outwards until it forms a dough.


The consistency is kind of strange, if you never worked with Tapioca starch before… it kinds of works against you, but you keep

doing it until you don’t see anymore white Tapioca. Remember you will have some milk left over.


Make little balls – I make them bite size, with a small tea spoon – you can make them bigger. This recipe yields 40 little ones. You can double the recipe and works very well.

Bake it at 400F pre -heated oven, for 15-20 min. They will rise a little bit.



I use parchment paper on the baking sheet, you can grease the baking sheet if you don’t have parchment paper handy.


HOT AND READY!


These are AWESOME while hot, but the next day they will be dry and chewy. You can warm up in the microwave, but I prefer to just

bake small batches. So you can freeze them and bake as you need it. Freeze them on the baking sheet before baking. Then transfer the little balls to a ziploc bag.


Please share this recipe with everybody you know cannot eat gluten!


Cheers,

Claudine

Fell Behind on a Payment? Don’t Panic—Here’s What to Do

By Sabeena Bubber • August 26, 2026
Missed a Credit Card or Line of Credit Payment? Here’s What to Do If you’ve missed a payment on a credit card or line of credit and you’re worried about how it might affect your credit—or your future mortgage—this is for you. First things first: 👉 If you currently have an overdue balance, log in and make the minimum payment now. Seriously. Do that first. Everything else can wait. If You’re Only a Few Days Late Here’s the good news: Credit bureaus don’t record late payments until they reach 30 days past due. So if you missed a due date by a few days and paid it as soon as you noticed, it typically won’t show up on your credit report as a late payment—as long as you’re under the 30-day mark. That said, it never hurts to double-check. You can call your credit card company, explain what happened, and confirm the account is back in good standing. If you normally pay on time, they may even reverse the interest charged. It doesn’t hurt to ask. If You’re 30, 60, or 90 Days Behind If payments have gone past 30 days, your credit has likely been impacted—but the situation is still fixable. The most important step is to: Bring all accounts current as soon as possible Make at least the minimum payment on every account The faster you catch up, the more you limit the damage. Ignoring missed payments only makes things worse. If Cash Flow Is Tight If you’re struggling to make payments, communication matters. Contact your lender and keep them informed—even if you can’t pay right away. Lenders are far more willing to work with you when you’re transparent. What hurts your credit most is silence . If lenders don’t hear from you after repeated missed payments, they may write the balance off as bad debt and send it to collections. Collections can significantly impact your credit and stay on your report for years. How This Affects Mortgage Qualification Repeated missed payments can make qualifying for a mortgage more difficult—but timing matters. Once you’re back to making regular, on-time payments: Your credit can improve over time The impact of past mistakes becomes less significant If you’re planning to buy a home in the next couple of years, addressing credit issues early gives you far more options later. Final Thoughts Missing a payment doesn’t mean you’re “bad with money,” and it doesn’t mean homeownership is off the table. What matters most is how quickly you respond and how consistent you are going forward .
