Cookbooks

What are some of your favorite cookbooks that don't take too much effort or tons of ingredients? I really like crock pot recipes and casseroles because I have two small kids and don't have time to research tons of recipes online or to cook them.

For some family friendly recipes that are gluten-free but not too complicated, I like Open Original Shared Link

 

As far as regular cookbooks go, any crock pot cookbook will work for us Celiacs, you just have to sub in gluten-free ingredients which usually is no big deal.  There are a lot of websites that do crock pot freezer meals, I have made those up for when I had a surgery and could do nothing, and those would probably be nice for you having kids taking up your time.  I like to look at cookbooks at my local library, and I only buy them if I really like them.   Most cookbooks I only like one or two recipes, and I will just hand copy those before they are due back to the library.

 

Edit to add:

A lot of us here who don't have as much time but still have to cook from scratch do a lot of batch cooking.  Cook up more than you need and freeze, and things like casseroles are really good for that.  Taco meat, soups, a lot of things freeze really well.  That way you can do the work of one meal and have it carry over for a few more.

This site is a year's worth (and more!) of gluten-free crockpot recipes.  I like the ones I have tried so far, and you'll see lots of feedback for each one.  Open Original Shared Link

I haven't tried any of the recipes yet, but cooking.com has some gluten free recipes that look good. All you have to do is put gluten free in the search box and they come up.

I have two of Danielle Walker's cookbooks - Against All Grain and Meal Made Simple.  There's only been one recipe that I don't like.  These are my "go to" cookbooks.  I love them.

My fav "go to" when I run out of time is to mix about 1/4 cup or so coconut oil with some organic mustard and a little water making a sauce. Stir it up, pour over chicken. Add some capers if you want. Bake and serve.

Most recipes from any cook book can be easily adapted to gluten free. This excludes baking, which is a whole other can of worms.

As for Crock pot recipes, I love Phyllis Pellman Good's "Fix It and Forget It" and "Fix it and Forget It Lightly". These are paperback and not too expensive.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.
