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

Ask LaurenJ for her pumpkin cheesecake recipe...

Lord, is it good (and pretty easy -- as long as you have a mixer)

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...

      Celiac getting dentures

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      Fighting for a name

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Celiac getting dentures

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.
