that sounds like yum

 

I can give you the recipe if you want.

 

(1) My mom recommended the pasta.

(2) Pasta is not a night shade.

(3) I did not tell you to put tomato sauce on it, now did I? noooooo..

(4) but, if  you want to blame me, I can handle it. As the youngest in my family, I am used to getting blamed for lots of stuff. <_<

 

 

I didn't do it, Mom!  IH did!  blender-accident.gif

:o   hide! 

 

thurs - the gabrielle special - seared scallops, bacon, spinach salad with mandarin oranges, poppy seed dressing (brianna's is the best and i can not fake it!)  with extra sharp white chedda (youngest was home from school for a day or so - long enough for mom to make her favorite, get a new cellphone, get free dinner at red robin, and gas $$)

 

last night was shrimp tacos on corn tortillas <husband hates the corn tortillas)(ok, i don't like them either) with mango salsa (and i think mangos hate me, too)  so that was a bust

 

tonight we had CHICKEN SPINACH & FETA SAUSAGE in what was supposed to be lasagne but turned out to be macaroni & feta cheese sauce with ricotta.........surprisingly tasty (and i need to get more lasagne noodles - it's the Surprise Pantry - Surprise!  you only have 3 lasagne noodles in what you thought was a full box :wacko::lol: )

 

hey, ih, the sausage was pre-cooked - must have been all that staring at it LOLZ :P  i got microwave eyes - always wondered why my goose was always cooked ;)

Don't give up on corn tortillas!  They should be fresh and heated on the stove in a pan or we just put it directly on the grating of our gas stove top.  Don't scorch them but heat until they begin to bubble and turn a few times.  Use two corn tortillas to hold your filling -- especially when it's wet with salsa.  Homemade tortillas are the best, but usually I'm too lazy!

Let me get it.  It was originally on here but Patti and I modified it a bunch to make it a one pot meal.  And translate it into American.

Well, I got blamed, but nothing ever came of it because as I still tell them, I am the cutest and the favorite. ^_^

This isn't a super creamy, cream laden dish but it makes a nice 1 pot meal.  I think you could use more spinach if you wanted.

 

I think I have changed enough about this recipe to make it mine - changed & added some ingredients.  Changed a few other parts as well as the measurements.

 

Oven Chicken Risotto

Olive oil

1 medium onion - finely chopped

1 lb chicken breast (cut into bite sized bits)

15.5 oz or 2 ¼ cups Arborio rice

¼ cup white wine

44 oz chicken broth

3 ½ tbsp grated parmesan (I use more I’m sure.. I just stir it in until it looks good)

2 Tbsp + of fresh basil, chopped

10 oz box of frozen spinach

1 cup of shredded carrots

 

Preheat oven to 325F.

 

Cook the frozen spinach about 3 minutes in microwave. Add the carrots and cook another 3-4 minutes. Drain well.

 

Using a pan that you can cover and put in the oven - drizzle olive oil and cook onion about 2-3 minutes.

 

Add chicken to onions and cook partially just to cook the outside.

 

Add rice and cook, stirring, for a minute.

 

Add wine and stock and bring back to a boil (or not if dinner is running late). Stir.

 

Add spinach & carrots and stir well.

 

Put a lid or foil on it and put it in the oven. Cook for 15 minutes. Stir and cook another 15 minutes. Stir. May need another 5-8 minutes (mine usually does) to get most of the moisture out.

 

Take out and add the basil and the cheese. Serve.

 

 

Left-overs are good but might need a bit of water or chicken broth.

This makes a lot. For two people who eat a normal portion, you might want to make about half.

Thanks, K

 

Now, if I can find the right box with my big covered pot in the PODS container and fish it out, I would be all set...  :lol:

 

I made a cut and paste copy to my laptop.

It is in storage. That's the whole point. My house is being built, remember?. I am living in a rental. I can only bring in so much. It just landed here in FL. I have to keep most of my stuff in the POD....

For 4 months....grumble grumble.....

You are parking on the driveway or parking lot? For 4 months?

You could just put foil over the top. Or transfer it to a casserole?

lol.. :lol:  no. I live in a rental house. My house is being built 5 miles away.

The PODS container is in a storage facility about 20 mins. away.

Alright guys, i need some ideas.

I'm kinda in the mood for chicken nuggets or something similar. I have chicken thigh, rice flour, egg, salt and pepper, and corn starch.

 

what can i do with this?

You have everything you need for chicken nuggets!  I would dredge nugget sized chunks of chicken thighs (so maybe cut each thigh into 4 pieces)  in egg, and then in a mix of 3 parts rice flour/1 part corn starch, seasoned with the salt and pepper.  If you can add paprika and garlic powder it'll be extra yummy.  Bake at 375 until done (if you can bake them on a rack they will be more crisp), or you can use a little oil and fry them up in a pan.  I cook all my chicken to 180 degrees Fahrenheit. 

 

Tonight I treated myself and went to the best gluten-free restaurant in Dallas/Fort Worth, "From across the pond" in Hurst, Texas.  They have a gluten-free menu that reads like a regular menu, and they give you GLUTEN FREE GARLIC BREAD!  For free!  There are also bona-fide British people there, teehee! One of the few places you walk in and say "I'm a celiac" and you know you are good.  I had an antipasta salad, and the hubby had a hamburger.  I was really craving that salad but staring at his giant juicy hamburger had my mouth watering over it so I think we will go back later this week so I can kick the craving.  

 

Tomorrow I am making gluten-free fried spicy chicken tenders.  I put them on to marinade tonight in buttermilk/sriracha/lawrys seasoned salt.  I take them straight out of the buttermilk and dredge them in gluten-free bisquick that I have seasoned up.  Makes a really good treat :)

Flying to Venice then driving to our house in Croatia - leaving Monday and will be away 26 days. YAY! Have not been here much lately as I have been busy. Yesterday I made lovely beef stew to use up some of our carrots, potatoes, peas, shrooms, etc. Nice to have as we are having some chilly temps (in the minus range).

Have an awesome October, All!

Question here :) When making Soup and using gluten-free noodles. Last night Turkey soup :) Umm I made noodles but did not add them to the soup. Putt he noodles in a bowl then added soup. I was afraid the noodles would tear up in the soup. I was not sure. SO what does everyone do when making soup with noodles? Do you add the noodles to the soup? Or leave the separate? When I put everything away I put noodles separate.

I just throw the noodles in at the end and let them cook.  We don't mind that the noodles soak up all the broth in the left-overs.  But my son and hub don't really like a lot of broth.  Some noodles seem to hold up better, so try different brands and ingredients - corn pasta seems sturdier but might not taste great in chicken noodle.

 

 

Friday night - chili

Saturday night - Experimental night - a yummy non-TexMex bean dip - black beans, fresh goat cheese, roasted poblanos...  Peanut toffee

Sunday night - Steaks and corn on the cob on the grill, salad,  Lundberg rice mix, and a warm flourless cake with vanilla ice cream.

 

Tonight - left-over chili as chili mac was requested.  I might make mine into a taco salad

have a great trip, love2!  karen - i love your experimental nights (also i want chili mac now lolz)  shadow - anxiously awaiting how you made mac & cheese with your chicken lololz  j/k :D  w8n4 - i use the tinkyada noodles and they hold up pretty well in soups/sauces - i have used some corn pastas that would disintigrate if you left them in liquid too long - like, turn to mush. 

 

hubs on the road again - finally cooked his steak last night - the pie turned out really good!!  in spite of hilarity insueingness ;)  but i made the steak rub with instant coffee in it, which was tasty but wreaked havoc on my stomach almost instantly <get it?  INSTANT coffee...........  yuk yuk

 

eating l'eftouvres and plotting wednesday menu - i told husband i was 'pantry cooking' - i have too many things in there so i'm dreaming up ways to clear them out.   dangerrrr..... :lol:

Safe journey and send me pics!! xx

Temps in the minus range already? girl, you need to move to Croatia permanently. That is just plain wrong to be in the minus numbers in September.  Your bones and muscles need HEAT.  :)  love ya--have a wonderful time.

 

It was 86 today and I swam in the ocean.... just sayin B) .

That "Hilarity Insueingness" --dear gawd, that is not really a word, sillypants! ---was partly your fault.  :P

 

Friday--I boldly tried a local Italian joint with a dedicated pizza oven and crusts that come from a dedicated bakery. Fellow GFers recommend it highly, so I did it. And it was pretty dang good (and so much for my whole 30 diet plan. totally shot to hell while traveling and relocating) May try it again in a week or so. What can I say except, I am a dismal failure and I have a carb addiction apparently.. 

 

Saturday- was an antipasta platter and melon.   Some caramel and sea salt gelato. YUM..

 

Sunday- Pork tenderloin, sliced over brown rice pilaf with almonds and a warm mango/pineapple/jalapeno salsa. And peaches.

 

Today--we had roasted chicken from BJs (thank you, ADDY for the idea!) and baked potatoes with fresh haricot verts  << that's for you, K.

 

Tomorrow, seafood of some nature. The local seafood market gave me a $5. welcome coupon when I went in last week and I figure I should be grateful and use it.  :)

Oh, meant to add: regarding cooking noodles for soup?

I found that it makes the soup too starchy for my taste to cook them with the veggies, meat, etc..

And the corn pasta can turn it yellow, so I cook the noodles separately, to a good al dente, (tinkyada is about 11 mins. no matter what the package says/ 13 if you are making them for pasta dishes) --then drain and add them to the soup pot for the remaining cooking time.

 

This is just my preference. 

But no matter what, they will absorb the broth like a sponge ---but that does not really bother me.

THanks for the noodle tips :) I guess if it is watery I will cook the noodles and throw them in. If not I will cook them and add as I serve :) Thanks guys :)

Ditto.

 

I toss the pasta in the last 8 or so minutes of cooking. Turns out fine, most of the time.

When I make soup I cook the noodles separate and add when ready to serve.  If you aren't going to have leftovers you can cook in the soup pot, but usually they will puff way up and be gross when you reheat them.

      Do you have online access to your celiac panel test results such that you could post them? tTG-IGG is kind of a secondary test. A weak positive in that one could indicate celiac disease but since it isn't as specific a marker as the tTG-IGA it is not real convincing. You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) for which there is no test. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. It is 10x more common than celiac disease and shares many of the same symptoms. Some experts believe it can be a precursor to celiac disease. The antidote for both is the same: total avoidance of gluten.

      I haven't been on this forum for a long time, but it was absolutely wonderful during the diagnostic process!  My path for celiac disease diagnosis was the following: -Had normal IgA level, and my only serology positive test was the DGP IgG -Deficiencies in both Vitamins D and K that did not increase at first despite massive supplementation -Diagnosis of fat malabsorption both total and neutral -Diagnosis of severe exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) -Testing was completed to rule out causes of EPI, and the only one not ruled out was celiac. -Both traditional endoscopy and pill capsule endoscopy yielded negative results for biopsy confirmation, but my GI doctor said that both procedures simply could have missed the damaged spots. -EPI and fat malabsorption resolved after taking Creon for 6 months since my EPI was caused by celiac -23 and Me said I don't have either of the two prominent genes for celiac disease   Remember that you might not have 'textbook' symptoms, but you still may have celiac disease.   Also, I am SO incredibly grateful for this site for all the learning it has allowed me to do. I have a senior dog, and these last few weeks with her were very scary! After two hospital stays, she finally received an IBD diagnosis after having gastroenteritis and pancreatitis. I know that celiac disease is not IBD, however, through reading this site, I learned more about it. I was relieved when I found out she had IBD and not cancer this past Wednesday. I know IBD can be managed thanks to what I've learned here!  So celiac.com, not only did you help me, but you helped my pup too! Thank you ❤️

      It was tTG IGG that was flagged high. I'm not sure about the other stuff. I'm still eating my normal stuff.

      Thank you for your post, @Nedast, and welcome to the forum. It is interesting to read of your experiences. Although I've not had TMJ, from time to time I have had a bit of mild pain in my jaw, sharp stabbing pains and tingling in my face which appears to have been caused by issues with my trigeminal nerve.  I read that sometimes a damaged trigeminal nerve in coeliacs can heal after adopting a gluten free diet.  I try to keep out of cold winds or wear a scarf over my face when it is cold and windy, those conditions tend to be my 'trigger' but I do think that staying clear of gluten has helped.  Also, sleeping with a rolled up towel under my neck is a tip I picked up online, again, that seems to bring benefits. Thank you again for your input - living with this sort of pain can be very hard, so it is good to be able to share advice.
