Burdee, I don't know if it's fact or fiction, but there have been quite a few older posts about cc with Amy's foods. I've avoided them based on this forum, but I'm not sure that's necessarilly correct.

We had pulled smoked pork on toasted cheese bread (Chebe's) with mashed potatoes tonight. I'm feeling guilty about not having anything green, but we loved our dinner.

I thought it might be fun if we had a thread where we shared what we're cooking up for dinner:) I am not an experienced cook so coming up with gluten free menus for me and my boyfriend feels like a ch

I avoid any of Amy's foods which contain my diagnosed allergens. So any Amy's food that are free of my allergens don't bother me at all. I often wonder, when people talk about CC from products, if they really have other undiagnosed allergens, besides gluten intolerance. I've only had one CC incident (from gluten) in 8 years. That occurred at a Mexican restaurant, where they fried their homemade tortilla chips in the same oil where they fried their flour tortilla entrees. I never again ate their chips, but I found one entre which I loved and ate there many times w/o incident ince that first CC incident.

So, tell us - did you enjoy your warm home-baked bread? Eight years is a long time!

Yes, I loved the taste and texture of my bread, which tasted more like pumpernickel than rye. I was a bit disappointed that the bread didn't rise more, but it did double in size. So I guess it did what it should. Next time I'll try a different recipe from that book (The Allergen-Free Baker's Handbook by Cybele Pascal) and see whether the same thing happens.

Homemade chicken soup with mushrooms, carrots, celery, bok choy, and various other stuff from the fridge. I added a little gluten-free miso for flavor.

Made a turkey roast with mashed potatoes, gluten free gravy, steamed baby peas and gluten free Yorkshire puddings. I wasn't sure about the Yorkshires...they're a favorite around here. The gluten free ones tasted mostly the same, but the texture was so different...they were pretty good, but just not the same. The kids seemed to like them though.

Yes, I know how you feel about it rising. Some breads just don't. There are a few that do - I like the recipes in the Culinary Institute of America gluten-free Baking book - there are recipes for bagels, English muffins, doughnuts...

What types of flours does the CIA use in their recipes? Would like to know if it is worth it for me to buy the book since I can't use very many grains - no amaranth, millet, quinoa, masa harina, garfava.....

They use white rice flour, tapioca starch, potato starch and albumen in the focaccia.

Their lean bread includes white rice flour, potato starch, guar gum, albumen, defatted soy flour and whey powder.

In their multigrain bread they use the same as the lean bread but include a soaker of yellow cornmeal, flaxseed, caraway and sesame seeds.

I really like the sourdough, too. It contains white rice flour, tapioca starch, potato starch, albumen as well as butter and buttermilk, of course.

There is also a sourdough-multigrain bread I have not yet tried.

The jalapeno-cheddar bread is very good if you can have cheese.

The egg bread is delicious.

There is a recipe for soft rolls, one for cinnamon raisin bread (have not tried), and Naan which is lovely.

The bagels are great and contain the same as the lean bread plus the usual ingredients; the bialys is delicious and contains the same as above with poppy seeds and onion.

Oh, yes. The pretzels! Yum. They contain the same as above. Same with the English muffins. The doughnuts are fried. There is a recipe for stollen I have not made yet. The cinnamon buns are actually rolled out and very good. They contain a "cinnamon smear" and "pan smear" along with white rice flour, brown rice flour, potato starch, tapioca starch and albumen.

There are tons of dessert things such as tarts, cakes, cookies, quick breads...

And you must try the pizza crust if you can. It contains white rice flour, tapioca starch and defatted soy flour. You pipe out the dough. I have a great recipe where you actually knead and roll out the dough which I love.

There are recipes for crackers and even puff pastry and choux pastry for cream puffs. Oh, and scones.

They also like to use sparkling water in their bread recipes.

So, it looks as though it could be safe for you. I actually love to use recipes including amaranth, sorghum, chickpea, garfava, sweet potato, millet, yellow corn flours. My collection is huge.

The recipes in this book create restaurant-quality goods and I adore it.

Thank you so much for posting those flours, love2eat. Most of them look good except the soy. Do you have any experience in subbing for that? Yes, I like to use other flours too, when I can - grainwise, I am pretty much limited to sorghum and buckwheat though. Can't get sweet potato here - will have to get some in June. I guess you can float the CIA cckbook out of the South American River? :)

I love this thread. I get inspiration from it. Two things:

1. I made hasselback potatoes the other night. I'd never heard of them before a post from love2travel. They were easy(ish) and delicious. Highly recommended!

2. Tonight's meal, vegetarian as usual:

-grated carrots & beets, marinated in rice vinegar, sesame, sugar, salt & seaweed (I made use of one of those bottles of 'rice seasoning' from the Asian market. I wish I could buy ground seaweed in a bottle there too. Is that possible to get?)

-braised, sweet-n-sour kabocha squash

-wok-fried baby bok choy tips with garlic & cashews, served with rice

I'm so glad you tried the hasselback potatoes! They are different and look beautiful, too. And just think of all the flavour combinations possible! Yum. :P

We're having Applegate Farms chicken and apple sausages cooked with saurkraut, apples, apple juice and cinnamon with leftover sweet potatoes (mixture of yellow, orange and purple). We have the sausage and saurkraut dish at least once a week, because my husband has German heritage and I lived in Germany for 2 years and love sausages. (I make enough for 4 servings which allows me to freeze 2 future dinners.)

I'm sorry about all your restrictions. :( Soy flour is very high in protein - that is why it is so good in things such as pizza when you want some elasticity. So far I have not found a substitute but will continue trying!

No problem with floating the CIA cookbook to you but will have to wait for spring thaw as it is so darned cold here! Hope you are not in a rush!! :P

me neither, just looking at the other posts using all those ingredients. especially you using compound butter when you roast a chicken. Reading your posts gives me the impression that you are a master in the kitchen.

Tonight we are making what my daughter calls crumbly burgers (browned and seasoned ground beef mixed with cheese and ketchup) and oven fries. Extremely simple kid friendly meal since my husband and I have been running around getting registered for college classes which start tomorrow :)

No, no, sorry but thank you, that was not what I was implying in the "floating" part, just trying to be funny because we can nae say its name here. I can order it perfectly well when I get over there in June if it is available from that south american river place, is what I was trying to say. Too cheap to pay postage over here :P

As it is currently -51F with windchill, it is a great day for soup.

Smoked Chipotle Black Bean Pureed Soup with Crispy Shallots

Homemade gluten-free Buttermilk Biscuits with the Blood Orange Marmalade I just made

Homemade gluten-free Cherry Tarts (I should say "tart" singular - I cannot allow myself to have more than one!)

I was actually just thinking about that a couple of minutes ago. A slow simmer is actually better than boiling BUT sometimes you just do not have the time to simmer for a couple of hours! Either way, it works just fine and I hope you love your soup.

It is mighty cold here right now (windchill -51F) so soup sounds sooooo good. :)

Your posting presents a lot of information. But a couple of things I can respond to. One, celiac disease is diagnosed by endoscopy and biopsy of the duodenum. So, pathology will need to weigh in. It's not diagnosed on gastroscopy. (At least, not as far as I know). Two, did you get blood tests for celiac disease? You will need to be eating gluten in order for those to be accurate. Three, where was the CT angiogram (of what)? I could go on and on, but thought I'd start there.

      Hi, I attended a neurologist appt last Tuesday, which I nearly cancelled, due to ongoing numbness and tingling in toes to mid foot. One of the first things he asked was ‘are you celiac’. I’m not. He thought all reflexes were ok but at the last minute decided on nerve conduction tests which were low normal. He was a little confused as he felt they should be better and tried a new set of probs, all the time, giving me multiple shocks which were not enjoyable lol. Anyway, he’s now ordered tests for myeloma, and all the vitaminy things that so many of you mention on here, also tests looking for autoimmune responses. I already have Hashimotos. Interestingly, to me, but maybe someone out there can relate or knows more than i do, although I was a nurse, but ED not ‘weird symptoms’  nurse. Anyway back to the interesting thing, I took duramine in 2013 to lose weight which caused a massive panic attack when I stopped taking it and half my hair fell out. I only took it for a week but it was horrible and I regret it. It triggered ongoing panic attacks which are horrendous. So I feel like I’m a bit crazy. Then in 2020 I had this sudden onset of horrible pain when trying to eat a cinnamon roll. It continued and I lost around 20 kgs. I had two gastroscopes and a colonoscopy and they were all normal. I scored a barium swallow and CT angiogram. All normal. The pain subsided a little but I was left with reflux and an awful feeling that I couldn’t get air when I ate some foods. This was not anxiety.  The anxiety was separate and I still maintain this. This was something to do with eating. It was like the air was thick but I wasn’t short of breath. I just had the sensation I was, then it triggered anxiety. Anyway, I had other weird things- couldn’t bend knees to shave legs in shower lol. Knees felt stiff and swollen but they weren’t. Knee WOUld swell up randomly but mri showed minimal issues. A bit of a meniscus degeneration but insignificant. Then the buzzing sensations in my head, the feeling like someone was stabbing me with something sharp. So now, I pre empted his tests, although I don’t think I’m celiac because it should have come up on gastroscopy, I’ve gone off gluten. Since Tuesday last week so 9 days. Since then I don’t appear to be as constipated, I realised I got through today without a nap and I’m not tired, maybe it’s just today and not related but I get very tired normally and sleep straight after work often, I can bend my knees and shave my legs lol, the buzzing vibrating has gone from my head, I had to call and ambulance as my heart decided we were off on a run, but we weren’t running and I’ve been a bit twitchy at bed time when trying to sleep, reflux is improving, I did get the weird suffocating feeling a bit when eating today but not as bad normall. Tingling and numbness still present and I felt like it moved up my legs a bit today but I’m a bit jittery. So I don’t know if it’s celiac disease or a gluten intolerance but I think, and it may be wishful thinking because my symptoms do make life a bit challenging, but maybe I’m feeling better. I don’t feel as cloudy. My thinking feels crisper. Like there’s no buzzing and I’m not fighting to break through the cloudiness now. I hope so much that this may help me feel a bit better moving forward. It would be a miracle as I really have struggled to work and parent and keep the house clean and I’m always anxious and exhausted.  If you get this far, please tell me if you you can relate to any of the above. Oh and tonsils out 5 years ago but before that antibiotics multiple times a year, sometimes intramuscular because they were so bad.  Op was meant to take 30 mins, it took 1.5 hours due to size of them.
