Re: [CnD] Easy Cheesy Zucchini Gratin
I think the xantham gum is used for thickener in foods for people who have to eat their meals gluten free. I probably wouldn’t ever have to use it, but if you found out the reason you were getting sick was from Celiac’s disease or something, you would have to make sure to stop using regular flour and other stuff. I guess most of us are pretty lucky to be able to use all the regular old stuff we use. But I know someone in one of my other groups who has to eat gluten free and I also now know of a second person who had to start eating that way too. She writes a recipe column too, so I sure wouldn’t like to have to do that. But I admire the people who have to come up with creative ways to do the stuff they make. I know this is an older message, but I still have a lot of stuff in my inbox.

Re: [CnD] Easy Cheesy Zucchini Gratin
If it is to thicken, I will probably go with something else. There are several choices, flour, corn starch, or arrow root for starters. Thanks.
