Uh... what do you want to do with it?

Use it in a salad (green, bean, veggie, etc)?

Part of a main course (enchiladas, soup, pasta, stir-fry, etc)?

On it's own (grilled, baked, panfried, deep-fried, poached, etc)?

Use it for dessert (oh, ok, now I'm being silly... I know it can be done, but I can't think of any common chicken desserts... :-) )

Anyway, check your bookstore or library for cookbooks, and check recipe sites like www.recipesource.com (previoiusly SOAR) and www.allrecipes.com and even www.foodtv.com if your brave enough to try their sometimes complicated (but sometimes easy) recipes.

Stepha,

For a REALLY (I mean SUPREMELY) wonderful collection of chicken recipes, check out The Cook's Illustrated Complete Book of Poultry (Open Original Shared Link is a link). It has an entire chapter devoted to each major way of preparing chicken (*including* stir-fries, curried chicken, chicken and dumplings, chicken pot pie, and recipes that use ground chicken), turkey (including burgers and other applications of ground turkey), Cornish hens, goose, duck, and game birds! They also include a short essay in each chapter describing their recipe testing process and why they chose the cooking methods they did. I plan to see about converting the dumpling and pot pie recipes to be gluten-free, and the other recipes are all pretty easy to convert. I am SO thrilled with this book! You might be able to find it at your local library if you want to look it over before you decide to buy it. It is OUT OF PRINT, so you'll probably need to order it online--but www.cooksillustrated.com had the best price I saw anywhere, anyway ($22.75 plus shipping).

Another book I use frequently is 1,000 Lowfat Recipes by Terry Blonder Golson. I get the feeling it is out of print, as well. Among many other things, it has a chapter full of delicious fish recipes, and some really yummy vegetable side dishes, too (I am ADDICTED to Roasted Cauliflower with Rosemary and Garlic!). It's true that you would need to ignore the chapters on breads and cookies and convert some of the other recipes, but that's a small price to pay (in my opinion) for a densely-packed book of nutritious and delicious meal ideas!

I hope this information is helpful!

Mango Chicken

4 leg quarters work well.

Marinate skinless, salted chicken pieces in:

1 really ripe mango, mashed

1 lime, juiced

1 tsp. ginger, ground

1/4 onion, chopped

pepper, to taste

2-3 oz.(to cover chicken) Alessi White Balsamic Vinegar

--found at Wal-Mart is a sweet, salad vinegar

Let marinade for at least 10 min.

Next, remove chicken from marinade and brown on all sides in 2 T. oil(I use a large, lidded cast iron skillet). Drain oil. Add mango marinade back in and bake, covered, for 45min.-1hour, or until tender!

Serve with rice cooked with ginger and chopped carrots.

Enjoy!

Connie

Sarah, could you post the recipe for Roasted Cauliflower with Rosemary and Garlic? It sounds wonderful, and I'd like to try it.

Thanks, Mariann

Done, Mariann--and thanks for reminding me that I have some leftover roasted cauliflower in my fridge! :D I don't think it will be there tomorrow! I hope you are doing well!

Thanks Sarah. I'm going to make it as soon as aI get my hands on some cauliflower.

I'm doing fine, just getting used to eating gluten-free again. It is such a relief after the last few months! Within one day my intestines were not rumbling violently and the pain was much less. I am looking forward to the results of my biopsy (in three weeks!)

God bless,

Mariann :)

      Blood tests for thiamine are unreliable. The nutrients from your food get absorbed into the bloodstream and travel around the body. So, a steak dinner can falsely raise thiamine blood levels in the following days. Besides, thiamine is utilized inside cells where stores of thiamine are impossible to measure.

      Neither of them were anemic 6 months after the Celiac diagnosis. His other vitamin levels (d, B12) were never low. My daughters levels were normal after the first 6 months. Is the thiamine test just called thiamine?

      Yes, I do think they need a Thiamine supplement at least. Especially since they eat red meat only occasionally. Most fruits and vegetables are not good sources of Thiamine.

      Thank you! That's helpful. My kids eat very little processed food. Tons of fruit, vegetables, cheese, eggs and occasional red meat. We do a lot of rice and bean bowls, stir fry, etc. Do you think with all the fruits and vegetables they need a vitamin supplement? I feel like their diet is pretty healthy and balanced with very limited processed food....

      Anti-endomysial Antibody (EMA) Testing

      That is interesting, and it's the first time I heard about the umbilical cord beings used for that test. Thanks for sharing!

      Blood tests for thiamine are unreliable.  The nutrients from your food get absorbed into the bloodstream and travel around the body.  So, a steak dinner can falsely raise thiamine blood levels in the following days.  Besides, thiamine is utilized inside cells where stores of thiamine are impossible to measure. A better test to ask for is the Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test.  But even that test has been questioned as to accuracy.  It is expensive and takes time to do.   Because of the discrepancies with thiamine tests and urgency with correcting thiamine deficiency, the World Health Organization recommends giving thiamine for several weeks and looking for health improvement.  Thiamine is water soluble, safe and nontoxic even in high doses.   Many doctors are not given sufficient education in nutrition and deficiency symptoms, and may not be familiar with how often they occur in Celiac disease.  B12 and Vitamin D can be stored for as long as a year in the liver, so not having deficiencies in these two vitamins is not a good indicator of the status of the other seven water soluble B vitamins.  It is possible to have deficiency symptoms BEFORE there's changes in the blood levels.   Ask your doctor about Benfotiamine, a form of thiamine that is better absorbed than Thiamine Mononitrate.  Thiamine Mononitrate is used in many vitamins because it is shelf-stable, a form of thiamine that won't break down sitting around on a store shelf.  This form is difficult for the body to turn into a usable form.  Only thirty percent is absorbed in the intestine, and less is actually used.   Thiamine interacts with all of the other B vitamins, so they should all be supplemented together.  Magnesium is needed to make life sustaining enzymes with thiamine, so a magnesium supplement should be added if magnesium levels are low.   Thiamine is water soluble, safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  There's no harm in trying.

      Yes, I do think they need a Thiamine supplement at least. Especially since they eat red meat only occasionally. Most fruits and vegetables are not good sources of Thiamine.  Legumes (beans) do contain thiamine.  Fruits and veggies do have some of the other B vitamins, but thiamine B 1 and  Cobalamine B12 are mostly found in meats.  Meat, especially organ meats like liver, are the best sources of Thiamine, B12, and the six other B vitamins and important minerals like iron.   Thiamine has antibacterial and antiviral properties.  Thiamine is important to our immune systems.  We need more thiamine when we're physically ill or injured, when we're under stress emotionally, and when we exercise, especially outside in hot weather.  We need thiamine and other B vitamins like Niacin B 3 to keep our gastrointestinal tract healthy.  We can't store thiamine for very long.  We can get low in thiamine within three days.  Symptoms can appear suddenly when a high carbohydrate diet is consumed.  (Rice and beans are high in carbohydrates.)  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so symptoms can wax and wane depending on what one eats.  The earliest symptoms like fatigue and anxiety are easily contributed to other things or life events and dismissed.   Correcting nutritional deficiencies needs to be done quickly, especially in children, so their growth isn't stunted.  Nutritional deficiencies can affect intelligence.  Vitamin D deficiency can cause short stature and poor bone formation.   Is your son taking anything for the anemia?  Is the anemia caused by B12 or iron deficiency?

      Thank you! That's helpful. My kids eat very little processed food. Tons of fruit, vegetables, cheese, eggs and occasional red meat. We do a lot of rice and bean bowls, stir fry, etc.  Do you think with all the fruits and vegetables they need a vitamin supplement? I feel like their diet is pretty healthy and balanced with very limited processed food. The only processed food they eat regularly is a bowl of Cheerios here and there.  Could shaking legs be a symptom of just a one-time gluten exposure? I guess there's no way to know for sure if they're getting absolutely zero exposure because they do go to school a couple times a week. We do homeschool but my son does a shared school 2x a week and my daughter does a morning Pre-K 3 x a week.  At home our entire house is strictly gluten free and it is extremely rare for us to eat out. If we eat at someone else's house I usually just bring their food. When we have play dates we bring all the snacks, etc. I try to be really careful since they're still growing. They also, of course, catch kids viruses all the time so I  want to make sure I know whether they're just sick or they've had gluten. It can be pretty confusing when they're pretty young to even be explaining their symptoms!
