How far ahead of time do you make things like Christmas shortbread, cake and muffins?  They are all vegan.  We'll be away and I want everything ready to go, not have to waste time cooking when we're in a holiday apartment.

Can you freeze them? I'd imagine for things like cookies, the dough would freeze well.

 

I do not know a lot about this, however. Perhaps someone will chime in?

A lot of baked goods are okay when frozen and re-thawed.  Just freeze things individually and then dump cookies/muffins in a ziploc, cakes and breads wrap in plastic wrap.  Anything iced I would leave the icing off if you can, if you cant, then freeze it really well before wrapping or stacking.  Here is a good overview I found:

I like to freeze cookies and brownies individually, then put them in baggies or plastic wrap so I can take them out one at a time.  They never do last long, though, even in the freezer :D

Thanks for that!  My daughter has a couple of parties on at school this week so I'll do all the cooking at once then stick the shortbread and cakes in bags in the freezer, can ice the day before, that'll be no problem.

      Damage after 13 years gluten free

      By RMJ · Posted

      Update: I have a wonderful new gastroenterologist. She wants to be sure there’s nothing more serious, like refractory celiac, going on. She ordered various tests including some micronutrient tests that no one has ever ordered before.  I’m deficient in folate and zinc and starting supplements for both. I’m so glad I decided to go to a new GI!

      Struggling to get into a good pattern

      Autoimmune diseases tend to cluster. Many of them are found close together on the chromosomes.

      Struggling to get into a good pattern

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Just giving another update... I was referred to rheumatology, and they suspect that I may also be dealing with fibromyalgia (it has not been formally diagnosed, but just suggested at this point).  So, I am continuing with the anti-inflammatory diet and vitamins and still working to keep getting rid of all these hidden gluten sources, but I also do have another possible explanation for some of the issues that I'm dealing with.

      Newbie with Celiac / NCGS symptoms

      I would pressure the lab to do the IgA control test for free so that you won't write a poor review about their testing services. You could get this done at any time, whether or not you are gluten-free, however, the celiac disease Tissue Transglutaminase tTG-IgA test must be done after you've been eating lots of gluten for around 6 weeks. This way you could salvage the results of your tTG-IgA test, as long as you were eating lots of gluten beforehand.

      celiac, chocolate and alcohol

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Given your strong reactions it would be wise not to eat things offered to you without reading the ingredient labels. It's possible there was indeed gluten or some allergen in the chocolates--barley malt is a common ingredient in some chocolates.
