    Celiac.com 11/11/2011 - Once again, Thanksgiving looms, as does the specter of pulling off a smooth, tasty, gluten-free dinner on the big day.

    To help make that goal an easy reality, celiac.com once again offers up a heaping of gluten-free information and recipes to help make your gluten-free Thanksgiving celebrations a smashing success!

    For those cooking a gluten-free turkey dinner at home, these helpful tips will make your work easier:

    • First, be certain to start with a 100% gluten-free turkey for your gluten-free holiday dinner. Gluten? In my turkey? Yes! Many brands use gluten when processing their turkeys. Don't assume your turkey is gluten-free. Be sure to check the ingredients list. Celiac.com offers a fairly comprehensive list of safe gluten-free foods and ingredients, along with gluten-free shopping guides to make gluten-free shopping easier.
    • Next, be certain to serve only gluten-free stuffing! Accept no substitute. Don't risk putting gluten-based stuffing in your turkey. Instead, astonish and satisfy all of your guests by preparing celiac.com's delicious Best Gluten-free Holiday Stuffing Recipe.
    • Lastly, prepare a simple, delicious gluten-free gravy using Celiac.com's Thanksgiving Holiday Gluten-Free Turkey Gravy recipe, or your favorite gluten-free gravy mix. Thicken homemade gravy with either corn starch or arrowroot flour.
    • Be careful:  Many bouillon cubes contain wheat or gluten, so make sure to use only gluten-free bouillon cubes.

    Make easy, tasty gluten-free side dishes using Celiac.com's extensive listing of gluten-free recipes.

    Order gluten-free baking ingredients and other hard-to-find items like prepared gluten-free pies ahead of time for convenience—this will allow you to spend more time with friends and family rather than spending all of your time in the kitchen!

    Many excellent prepared gluten-free products can now be ordered and delivered directly to your door from places like the Gluten-Free Mall, and your purchases there actually directly support Celiac.com.

    Our Great Brined Turkey recipe offers a fabulous way to prepare your gluten-free turkey that will leave your guests quizzing you about your secrets to such a moist, savory bird.

    In addition to our ever-popular recipe for Gluten-free Pumpkin Pie, we offer this delicious variation:

    Ginger Crust Pumpkin Pie:

    Gluten-Free Pumkin PieIn anticipation of the next two months worth of feasting, I’ve been tinkering with this Thanksgiving classic. The crust is perfectly spiced and also goes well with sweet potato pies. A dollop of fresh whipped cream and you’re good to go. Coconut flakes also make a tasty topping.

    Ingredients:

    Crust
    1 ½ cups gluten-free gingersnaps
    ½ cup walnuts
    3 tablespoons light brown sugar
    ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
    4 tablespoons melted butter

    Filling
    1 ¼ cup canned pumpkin
    ½ cup sweetened condensed milk
    1 teaspoon each ground ginger, cloves, and cinnamon
    ½ teaspoon salt
    ½ cup sugar
    ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
    2 eggs, lightly beaten

    Directions:
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and lightly butter a 9-inch pie dish.

    For the crust, combine cookies, walnuts, brown sugar, and nutmeg in a food processor and grind to a powder. Slowly add melted butter and pulse until mixture forms clumps. Spread evenly over the pie dish press down until tightly packed. Set aside.

    In the bowl of a mixer, combine pumpkin and condensed milk. Add sugar and salt and beat until well-combined. Add eggs, then vanilla and spices.

    Pour filling into the unbaked pie crust and bake for 40-50 minutes, or until center is set. Cool on a wire rack before serving.

    Thanks! I use crushed Gluten-Free Corn and/or Rice Chex in place of bread crumbs in my stuffing.

    Ok, I know these cookies aren't free from peanuts, but they are peanut butter cookies, after all!  If you can do almonds, but not peanuts, definitely try this recipe with almond butter – yum!
    For the rest of us with other dietary restrictions, take heart! These cookies fit the bill! They're delicious, and still gluten-free, dairy-free, egg-free, soy-free, and sugar-free! Yes, they even have a low glycemic index! Enjoy these cookies on their own, or add chocolate chips (dairy-free chips are great too!) for a change of pace. High protein, loads of vitamins and minerals, dietary fiber – it's all there, and in a cookie!!!  Maybe I should have called these “Guilt-Free Cookies”!!!
    Don't be daunted by some of the unusual flour ingredients. Try them if you will, or just use my al...

    Celiac.com 12/14/2011 - Finding a slice of pre-packaged gluten-free bread that is 100% enjoyable seems to be the bane of many celiacs.  So you finally decide to make your own.  You read up on baking breads; you spend money to buy the ingredients; you take the time to prepare the mixture, then you put your creation in the oven.  Oh, the wonderful aroma of bread begins to fill the air.  You wait in anticipation.  Finally, the oven timer goes off and you remove your creation, only to discover that something went terribly wrong!  Don’t despair.  Below are some of the more common problems and solutions. 
    Bread machines have become very popular.  While they are tooted as being time-savers, baking bread in the oven actually takes very little extra time and effort, and usually yields bet...

    Celiac.com 04/26/2013 - A team of researchers recently looked at the influence of grain size on the quality of gluten-free bread formulas. Specifically, the team looked at the influence of different maize flour types and their particle sizes on the quality of two types of gluten-free bread.
    The research team included E. de la Hera, M. Talegón, P. Caballero, M. Gómez. They are affiliated with the Food Technology Area of E.T.S. Ingenierías Agrarias at Valladolid University in Palencia, Spain.
    Maize is a grains that is safe for celiacs to eat. Along with rice, maize is the most cultivated grain in the world. However, while some gluten-free breads include maize in their recipes, there is very little study data on how maize flour impacts gluten-free bread quality.
    For their study, t...

    Celiac.com 09/25/2014 - Every year, life seems to get more hectic.  There is never enough time to get the things done on the ever-growing “to-do” list, let alone find time to relax.  Then you are diagnosed with celiac disease and suddenly realize you can no longer stop at Subway for a hoagie sandwich on your way home.  You get a sinking feeling in the pit of your stomach as you acknowledge that you will have to actually cook most of your own meals at home!  
    There is no need to panic.  There are many shortcuts that can help you get in and out of the kitchen faster.  Here are just a few:
    Make a list of all the items you buy at the grocery store.  Make your list very specific, organized by aisles at the store.  Print off multiple copies.  As you run out of things durin...
