Gluten-free goddess (in training)

I have goddess envy--gluten-free goddess envy. I am a stalker of this blog http://glutenfreegoddess.blogspot.com/ and just don't seem to have her touch. This goddess posts a plethora of amazing gluten-free recipes in twenty different categories with gorgeous finished product pictures, yet try as I might my gluten-free baking always falls a little short of her high standard (no pun intended). Perhaps she will take an apprentice? Gluten-free baker certification might look nice on a resume.
Currently, I have more failures than successes. Like my gluten-free pumpkin muffins, which had nice texture, but the taste was questionable. Or my gluten-free quinoa peanut butter cookies--amazing taste, but required a five minute soaking in almond milk in order to be edible. My bread machine recipe for gluten-free bread is at about 85% satisfaction, good taste, texture is still a little heavy. And then there was the lemon poppy seed muffins that weren't even fit as food for the ducks.
Amongst all my hockey pucks and door stops of baked goods, though, there has been one overwhelming success. The gluten-free banana bread I made was spectacular (if you can handle that it didn't get a nice rise in the center of the loaf like its gluten counterparts.) The texture and taste (together at the same time!) were perfect. It was moist, it held together, you didn't gag on it trying to chew or swallow, it wasn't so thick that it got stuck in your throat half way down, and our apartment smelled like a banana paradise while it was baking.
Dallin, gem that he is, though, thinks everything I create is wonderful--except for the lemon poppy seed disaster, we were in mutual disdain over that one. His approval of my efforts is always good motivation to keep at it. I also refuse to be beaten by millet flour, potato starch, or xanthum gum. I will triumph, I will, I will.
Actually though, my real impetus for all these hours of what sometimes seems fruitless labors is about love. This is all for the "fatten-Dallin-up-while-being-easy-on-his-system" campaign. If I can have a success every once in a while and know that it is helping him, it is all worth it.
