Someone in this forum asked for this recipe, but didn't give me an address ~ so I'm posting here, hoping this won't get moved to recipes..... :)

Okay -- homemade, nutrient dense gluten-free granola bars:

4 C crushed flaked gluten-free cereal (like Amazon crunch)

1.5 C sliced almonds, crushed (put 'em in a bag and whack away)

1C dried fruit (cut it into little pieces if need be)

1C mini choc. chips (optional)

mix all those together in a big bowl. In a small saucepan combine

1C peanut butter

3/4 C light corn syrup

until they are warm and smooth

Pour the syrup over the cereal mix, blend well, wrestle into a Pam-sprayed pan (or non stick; don't grease the pan or you'll have it going everywhere) about 9X13 (I actually use a slightly smaller pan--definitely don't use bigger) and press down HARD. Put it in the refrigerator until it's hard enough to cut up into whatever size you want. (I do kudo-size rectangles). Wrap them in waxed paper and freeze for later, or refrigerate. One weekend my husband actually melted chocolate and dunked a bunch of these, to make himself candy bars.......

Those sound really good. I miss granola bars a lot. I had gotten a granola bar mix from Miss Roben's and it just didn't have much flavor. I'll have to try these, sounds good!!

Thanks for the great sounding recipe- with so many options too. Can't wait to get settled into our new house so I can try these. The candy bar idea sounds great or I might just drizzle a little over the top, to entice the little one.

Thank you so much for posting this. I was the one that emailed you for the recipe. This board is new to me, so I am still trying to figure things out. The recipe sounds really good, can't wait to try it out.

I made this recipe tonight and added a couple of things. I used dried cranberries for the fruit and added crispy brown rice cereal to the corn flakes. These are really good and my celiac daughter loves them!

Thank you for the recipe.

      Edy's and Dreyer's ice cream

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      There is a 10 year old post in this forum on Edy's and Dreyer's ice cream. The information is somewhat outdated and the thread is closed to further comment, so here is a new one. Edy's And Dreyer's Grand Vanilla Bean Ice Cream - 1.5 Quart is labeled "Gluten Free". This is a different answer than years gone by. I don't know the answer for any other flavor at this moment. On 1 May, 2026, Edy's website says: "As a general rule, the gluten in Edy's and Dreyer's® frozen dessert products is present only in the added bakery products, such as cookies, cake or brownies. We always label the eight major food allergens on our package by their common name. We recommend to always check the label for the most current information before purchasing and/or consuming a product. The exception to this rule is our Slow Churned French Silk frozen dairy dessert, which contains gluten in the natural flavors." https://www.icecream.com/us/en/brands/edys-and-dreyers/faq It seems that Edy's and Dreyer's are more celiac-friendly than they were 10 years ago. Once I found enough information to make today's buying decision, I stopped researching.

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      My dad had an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm.  Fortunately, it was discovered during an exam.  The doctor could feel my dad's heart beating in his stomach/abdomen.  The aneurysm burst when the doctor first touched it in surgery.  Since he was already hooked up to the bypass machine, my dad survived ten more years.  Close call! Triple A's can press on the nerves in the spinal cord causing leg pain.  I'm wondering if bowing the head might have increased the pressure on an aneurysm and then the nerves.   https://gulfcoastsurgeons.com/understanding-abdominal-aortic-aneurysm-symptoms-and-causes/ Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Presenting as a Claudication https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4040638/

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      You have an odd story there. To me, the mechanical trigger suggests a mechanical problem and lower leg pain is a classic sciatica symptom. The fact that the clear mechanical linkage is no longer there does not take away from the fact that it was - maybe something shifted and the simple alignment is no longer there. There's also a good chance I am wrong and it's something else entirely. @Scott Adams's mention of shingles is interesting. It seems possible but unlikely to me, but who knows. However, I am writing here to reinforce the idea of getting the shingles vaccine. Ask anyone who has ever had shingles and they will bend your ear telling you how bad it is. I watched my wife go through it and it scared the bejeebers out of me. Even if you had the chicken pox vaccine, you really want to get the shingles vaccine.

      Oddly this effect has gone now, just happened yesterday evening, the nerve pain is now back to its usual "unpredictable" random self again - but that was the only time I ever had some mechanical trigger for it, don't know why! There's no (or wasn't) actual pain in my neck - it was inside the leg, but when I looked down, now though, the leg pain just comes and goes randomly as before again.
