Easy Meal Cookbooks?

Does anyone have any suggestions for easy meal cookbooks that contain mainstream ingredients? I am getting very tired of gluten-free pasta and sauce. I have found a lot of gluten-free crockpot recipes. But I'm still looking for other things.

(I hate to cook - or clean up afterwards).

Something like this would make a great Christmas gift. :)

Cindy--If you haven't already, scroll down to Cookbooks and Info in new topics today. In there is a cookbook for fast and healthy (I think that was it) gluten free meals. Other cookbooks listed there, too.

When on there, click on "products".

Two great cookbooks I use are: No wheat no problem by Dr.Corrie Ann Materie and The Best Gluten Free Family Cookbook by Donna Washburn & Heather Butt. :)

Here are two books that I really enjoy. They are very easy meal cookbooks.

Wheat-free, Gluten-free, Reduced –Calorie Cookbook by Connie Sarros

If you tired of your own gluten free cooking Connie has some fabulous everyday meal ideas that help you get into the swing of preparing gluten free meals that are tasty ,but interesting. She mostly focuses on meals breakfast, lunch and dinner in this book has a few desserts. Your family will never even know they eating gluten free. Mexican Chicken, Thai rice ball salad, Grecian Stewed Baked fish, Grecian Dilled Shrimp, Jamaican chicken, Finnish Seafood soup etc.

The tolerant cook: The Allergy and food intolerance cookbook by Tish Richardson Phd www.intoleranz.com.au

Tish is an Australian author. She has written a fantastic cookbook you won’t have a boring meal. This cookbook makes your tastebuds come alive. Who said you ever had to have boring tasteless food if you had a number of food allergies. This book accommodates gluten, dairy, egg, peanut, soy, garlic, and onion free cooking. If you only need to follow a gluten free diet and have no food allergies this book is still a real bargain. I have used many of her food suggestion like bonito flakes in other gluten free recipes. It is really difficult to choose a few favourites in this book as so many of the dishes are a real treat to your tastes buds. The recipes are easy to follow even a beginner could easily follow the recipes with great success. If she brings out another book I will happily buy it. She is really talented and very practical with her advice. The ingredients are also really easy to get hold of. She has some great suggestions for sauces that can be used in everyday life. She has a lovely selection of recipes for meals and desserts She really puts the joy back into cooking. Try the chicken tangine, toasted sesame –seed coated avocado and almond balls, wonton, mezzelune and ravioli wrappers, sesame and tahini cake, quandong, lemon and roast almond flan, BBQ leg of lamb ‘marinade’, Vietnamese mint pesto, Laksa paste, prawn & pumpkin curry and many more.

PS: I’m in no way financially connected to the selling of the above books. I just enjoy baking and collecting cookbooks. :lol:

      Certainly, it would b wise to have a gene test done if your physician is open to it as it would provide some more data to understand what's going on. But keep in mind that the genetic test for celiac disease cannot be used as to diagnose celiac disease, only to establish the potential to develop active celiac disease. About 40% of the general population possess one or both of the primary genes known to be associated with the development of active celiac disease but only about 1% of the population actually develop active celiac disease. So, the gene test is an effective "rule out" tool but not an effective diagnostic tool.

      Had Quaker gluten-free oatmeal last night and my stomach is a mess today. NO flu but def stomach stuff. Anyone else?

      So you would be good with the diagnosis and not worry to check genetics etc etc? Appreciate your words!

      For those who will likely remain gluten-free for life anyway due to well-known symptoms they have when eating gluten, my general advice is to ignore any doctors who push to go through a gluten challenge to get a formal diagnosis--and this is especially true for those who have severe symptoms when they eat gluten. It can take months, or even years to recover from such a challenge, so why do this if you already know that gluten is the culprit and you won't be eating it anyway?  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS--but those in this group will usually have negative tests, or at best, elevated antibodies that don't reach the level of official positive. Unfortunately test results for celiac disease are not always definitive, and many errors can be made when doing an endoscopy for celiac disease, and they can happen in many ways, for example not collecting the samples in the right areas, not collecting enough samples, or not interpreting the results properly and giving a Marsh score.  Many biopsy results can also be borderline, where there may be certain damage that could be associated with celiac disease, but it just doesn't quite reach the level necessary to make a formal diagnosis. The same is true for blood test results. Over the last 10 years or so a new "Weak Positive" range has been created by many labs for antibody results, which can simply lead to confusion (some doctors apparently believe that this means the patient can decide if they want more testing or to go gluten-free). There is no "Weak Negative" category, for example. Many patients are not told to eat gluten daily, lots of it, for the 6-8 week period leading up to their blood test, nor asked whether or not they've been eating gluten. Some patients even report to their doctors that they've been gluten-free for weeks or months before their blood tests, yet their doctors incorrectly say nothing to them about how this can affect their test, and create false negative results. Many people are not routinely given a total IGA blood test when doing a blood screening, which can lead to false negative interpretations if the patient has low IGA. We've seen on this forum many times that some doctors who are not fully up on how interpret the blood test results can tell patients that the don't need to follow a gluten-free diet or get more testing because only 1 of the 2 or 3 tests done in their panel is positive (wrong!), and the other 1 or 2 tests are negative.  Dermatologists often don't know how to do a proper skin biopsy for dermatitis herpetiformis, and when they do it wrongly their patient will continue to suffer with terrible DH itching, and all the risks associated with celiac disease. For many, the DH rash is the only presentation of celiac disease. These patients may end up on strong prescriptions for life to control their itching which also may have many negative side effects, for example Dapsone. Unfortunately many people will continue to suffer needlessly and eat gluten due to these errors in performing or interpreting celiac disease tests, but luckily some will find out about non-celiac gluten sensitivity on their own and go gluten-free and recover from their symptoms. Consider yourself lucky if you've figured out that gluten is the source of your health issues, and you've gone gluten-free, because many people will never figure this out.
