Grandpa (Not So Sure I Am Not Celiac, But Hanging Out Here Until I Find Out)

[whtswrongwithme32]

Hi,

  So while I "hurry up and wait on my tests and results" I started thinking about my Grandpa who def has celiac...and wondering what kind of yummy dish I might be able to fix him for Christmas this year? I would like to surprise him with something new. He hates rice flour (I think that is what it is called, right?) though.

If you have any ideas, it would be much appreciated.

What do you normally cook for Christmas?  I usually make Prime Rib, mashed potatoes with sour cream, cream cheese and green onions, a salad with romaine lettuce, celery, green onions and mandarin oranges, along with a dressing of sugar, vinegar, oil, salt and pepper.  I'll be able to make all of that this year without any substitutions since I don't make gravy for this meal.  Gravy is easy enough to change using corn starch so no real problem there.

 

Baking cookies and goodies however.....I hope we can figure something out by then...or more accurately, the baker in the family, hubs, can figure something out by then

You can replace the rice flour with almond flour mixes and other flours as well. My go to is almond flour mixes with tapioca. But there is also cup 4 cup mixes you can get at a local health food store that would work, though check the ingredients because some use rice flour in their mix.

Have you tried making baked chickpeas before? That's a pretty simple thing to make and tastes great

Dessert - look up a flourless chocolate mousse cake recipe if he's a chocolate lover.

Or flourless peanut butter cookies are good too.

I like pumpkin pie for dessert - I use gluten-free cookie crumbs and butter for the crust.
