Dessert Ideas For A Company Party

I got this recipe from the Kraft Foods website (kraftfoods.com) and was wondering if it would be possible for me to convert this to gluten-free without too much trouble.

Mini JELL-O Trifle Bites

2 cups boiling water

2pkg. (4 serving size each) JELL-O Brand Raspberry Flavor Gelatin

3 slices (3/4 inch thich each) pound cake, cut into 24 cubes

1 pkg. (8 oz.) Philadelphia Cream Cheese, softened

1 cup powdered sugar

1 cup thawed Cool Whip whipped topping

1 tsp. grated lemon peel

The biggest question I have is about the pound cake. Are the tasty ready-made gluten-free pound cakes available in stores? I shop at a pretty gluten-free friendly grocery store here (Wegman's) but the only sweet stuff I've bought are some of Pamela's cookies (very tasty :) ). I really don't have the time to make a pound cake from scratch so it would be easier if I could just buy one ready-made.

Another question I have is about JELLO-O. Is that gluten-free?

This looks like a fairly easy and not too time consuming recipe and I'd like to make a few different flavor varieties since it will most likely be the only dessert I will be able to eat at the party.

If anybody has any other quick and/or easy recipes that are gluten-free, please feel free to post them or e-mail them to me at racergirl435@sbcglobal.net (just make sure if you e-mail to put something obvious in the subject line so your e-mail doesn't get deleted :) ).

Thanks!

Jess

I think I have seen a pound cake in the stores from Ener-G. I'm sure my hubby brought one home one time and I had it with strawberries and ice cream :P

Our favorite fancy dessert for company is JellO instant pudding, prepared as pie filling, spooned into small individual servings. Then we take crushed cookies (save those not-perfect ones! ) --usually chocolate, and make a layer about 1/2" thick, top with fruit or just pie filling, and put CoolWhip on top and garnish with mint. It takes almost no effort and it looks so pretty.

Excellent on the JELL-O. I thought I had seen gluten-free pound cake in the stores but wasn't positive. I will look again and if not, will do the idea that ryebaby suggested.

Viola...cute puppy. Akita?

No Jess ... she is a Shiba Inu .. The smallest member of the Japanese Spitz breeds. They do have the same determination as the Akita though, so need a firm hand, good fence and constant Obedience training. However they make an excellent family dog if people remember never to have them off leash. They are totally good with people, but could never be loose around the neighbours cat, rabbit or anything else that looks like prey :rolleyes:

Funny...I was recently asked to foster a couple of Shibu's. I had to decline though as we have two cats and a black Lab and honestly not enough time for another pet. They are cute dogs though.

:lol: They are wonderful little dogs if you are prepared for their genetic make-up .. your cats would have been fair game for lunch unless those dogs were raised with a cat from tiny puppy hood :rolleyes: They would have had fun with your Lab though ... mine loves to play with any other canine that's willing :P

well, speaking of office parties and desserts... for mine i made namaste blondies (really good) but i added choc. chips, white choc chips, peanut butter chips, a little flaked coconut and chopped walnuts. they were a big hit with folks very skeptical of the gluten free. my boss and another co-worker told me how good they were and i said 'yeah, and they are gluten free too! they have rice flour, tapioca flour...' and he interrupted me to say 'i don't care what's in them! they're great!' :) so, for those looking for a very easy finger type dessert it works well...

      In the study linked above, the little girl switched to a gluten free diet and gained enough weight that that fat pad was replenished and surgery was not needed.   Here's the full article link...

      Hello, @Jordan Carlson, So glad you're feeling better.   Tecta is a proton pump inhibitor.  PPI's also interfere with the production of the intrinsic factor needed to absorb Vitamin B12.  Increasing the amount of B12 you supplement has helped overcome the lack of intrinsic factor needed to absorb B12. Proton pump inhibitors also reduce the production of digestive juices (stomach acids).  This results in foods not being digested thoroughly.  If foods are not digested sufficiently, the vitamins and other nutrients aren't released from the food, and the body cannot absorb them.  This sets up a vicious cycle. Acid reflux and Gerd are actually symptoms of producing too little stomach acid.  Insufficient stomach acid production is seen with Thiamine and Niacin deficiencies.  PPI's like Tecta also block the transporters that pull Thiamine into cells, preventing absorption of thiamine.  Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are difficulty swallowing, gagging, problems with food texture, dysphagia. Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are symptoms of ADHD and anxiety.  Vyvanse also blocks thiamine transporters contributing further to Thiamine deficiency.  Pristiq has been shown to work better if thiamine is supplemented at the same time because thiamine is needed to make serotonin.  Doctors don't recognize anxiety and depression and adult onset ADHD as early symptoms of Thiamine deficiency. Stomach acid is needed to digest Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in fruits and vegetables.  Ascorbic acid left undigested can cause intestinal upsets, anxiety, and heart palpitations.   Yes, a child can be born with nutritional deficiencies if the parents were deficient.  Parents who are thiamine deficient have offspring with fewer thiamine transporters on cell surfaces, making thiamine deficiency easier to develop in the children.  A person can struggle along for years with subclinical vitamin deficiencies.  Been here, done this.  Please consider supplementing with Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) which helps immensely with dysphagia and neurological symptoms like anxiety, depression, and ADHD symptoms.  Benfotiamine helps with improving intestinal health.  A B Complex and NeuroMag (a magnesium supplement), and Vitamin D are needed also.

      @pothosqueen, Welcome to the tribe! You'll want to get checked for nutritional deficiencies and start on supplementation of B vitamins, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1.   There's some scientific evidence that the fat pad that buffers the aorta which disappears in SMA is caused by deficiency in Thiamine.   In Thiamine deficiency, the body burns its stored fat as a source of fuel.  That fat pad between the aorta and digestive system gets used as fuel, too. Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test to look for thiamine deficiency.  Correction of thiamine deficiency can help restore that fat pad.   Best wishes for your recovery!   Interesting Reading: Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome in a 6-Year-Old Girl with Final Diagnosis of Celiac Disease https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31089433/#:~:text=Affiliations,tissue and results in SMAS.

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.
