How Long Will My gluten-free Baked Goods Keep?

Okay I stocked up on more baked goods than I ever ate before my dx. But I just want it here in case I get a hankering for it. I have some raisin pecan bread, some type of biscuits and some scones. I have freezer packs of two (of eah item) and then those small bags are in a large zipper bag. Since I'm the only one who'll be eating most of this stuff, how long will it be okay in the freezer?

Also, I was wondering if anyone ever had the Namaste brand vanilla cake mix? It came in my care package and I was going to make the cake for Val. day and surprise my husband. I have gluten-free frosting (canned) to put on the cake. But if the Namaste cake mix isn't any good I don't want to waste my time baking it. Anyone out there tried it and if so did you like it?

Last but not least is there such a thing as gluten-free lemon curd (for my scones) that I don't have to make myself. The kind I've used for years has wheat as the second ingredient. Is this is the case with most premade lemon curds?

Havent tried the vanilla cake, but the chocolate is AWESOME!!! The best one I've had so far, moist and not gritty at all!!!!! Really couldn't tell it was gluten-free.

BTW>...what brand of frosting are you using???? I am still experimenting in that area.

Dickenson Family Lemon Curd only has "natural flavorings" listed that makes me suspicious, otherwise it is all safe stuff. I don't eat it so I never looked before, so that would be one to check into, the webiste listed on the back of the jar is Open Original Shared Link GOod luck!!

my frozen baked goods have lasted up to a year in my deep freezer... after a year if I haven't eaten them, then they go bye bye. But usually I eat them long before they ever go bad. I've had them go bad on me if I accidentally leave them in the fridge instead of the freezer. (sometimes I stick them in there to thaw, then forget to put the rest back into the freezer)

don't know anything about lemon curds, sorry.

I know you said you don't want to make the lemon curd, but it is SO super easy to make. Here is the recipe that I use with no trouble. EASY as pie :)

-Jessica

Lemon Curd

Lemons- 3 zest and juice

Caster (fine) sugar- 8oz.

Butter- 4 oz.

Egg Yolks- 3 beaten

Method:

1)Put all ingredients in the top of a double broiler or in a bowl standing over a pan of simmering water. Heat gently, stirring for about 20 min. until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.

2) Strain, pot, and cover the curd. Store in a cool place and use within 1 month.

I use the recipe to top the lemon bunt cake from the gluten free pantry cake and cookie mix recipe book. It also makes a GREAT icecream topping. It can also be used to make icecream. It is very easy to make and very YUMMY!! Enjoy.

jnifred - thanks for that link. That line is owned by Smuckers. I just got off the phone with them. They know there is no wheat in their lemon curd but are in the process of checking to see which of their products is gluten free so they can add that to their labels. So in the near future we should be able to pick up their products and actually see gluten free on the label - if in fact they're gluten free of course. At this time they stated that until their research was complete, they are not comfortable saying any of their products are gluten free.

I got Duncan Hines homestlye frosting, choc. Not all of their types/flavors are gluten-free but several are.

nini - wow! I think I'll get through my baked goodies before they go bad in a year. Thanks!

Jessica - this is so wierd. Last night I found this exact recipe in a book called 'A Personal Touch on Celiac Disease' and it was submitted by someone named Jessica. Might you be the same Jessica? Seems I will have to make my own lemon curd for now as I will attend a tea party next month for a close friends b-day.

Thanks so much for the easy recipe!

I get my Fresh lemon curd from Stonewall kitchen. They have a list with everything that HAS gluten in it (via phone call). If it is not on that list, then it is gluten free. They have a website and an 800 phone number. I get some items from there to cook with and they are very nice to deal with.

Thanks armetta! After checking the website and calling the company I found out not only do they offer gluten-free lemon curd, they apparently have it at my Whole Foods (Harry's). Since I already have to take my own gluten-free tea sandwices and scones to a b-day tea party next month, I really don't want the hassle of making my own lemon curd as well. Oh this is a happy day for me!

Hey Floridanative - Like someone else said, I haven't tried the vanilla Namaste cake mix but the chocolate is incredible!!! And yeah I also get the Duncan Hines frostings. I think it's only the Whipped flavors that are not ok.

Next time you go to Whole Foods, try the gluten-free Bakehouse Carrot Cake with the Duncan Hines Cream Cheese frosting. Yummy!!!

You sound like you're doing a great job becoming gluten free :)

Well I had good reason to try and do my best on the diet as I was tested for two cancers before getting the Celiac dx. I'm a huge baby when it comes to being sick and I have the lowest pain threshold in the world. The thought that not sticking to the diet could cause me to get cancer and have to endure chemo was enough to scare me straight. Plus I did my grieving back in the fall when the doctor told me about Celiac and that one of my blood test may be indicating I had it. So by the time I got the dx last month, I had done enough research to start the diet. I know I have a lot to learn but I love learning. The only thing I don't like so far is reading labels. I do it but I don't like it.

Thanks for the tip about the carrot cake and cream cheese frosting - sounds yummy indeed. My vanilla Namaste cake turned out pretty and it smells good. I'll have to taste a sliver of it when it cools before I frost it. My husband leaves for work before I get up on weekdays. This morning there was a jar of Stonewall Kitchen lemon curd on the counter with a Val. day card. He brought roses home last night because he has to leave work early today so we can get to a restaurant at 6 to beat the crowds. This is another great help to being gluten free - having the most supportive hubby in the world!

      My only proof

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi Jmartes71 That is so much like my story! You probably know where Laytonville is and that's where I was living just before my 60th birthday when the new Dr. suggested I could have Celiacs. I didn't go on a gluten challange diet before having the Celiac panel blood test drawn. The results came back as equivical as one antibody level was very high but another, tissue transaminasewas normal. Itdid show I was  allergic to cows milk and I think hot peppers. I immediately went gluten free but did not go in for an endoscopy. I found an online lab online that would do the test to show if I had a main celiac gene (enterolab.com). The report came back that I had inherited a main celiac gene, DQ8, from one parent and a D!6 from the other parent. That combination is knows to sym[tons of celiac worse than just inheriting one main celiac gene. With my version of celiac disease I was mostly constipated but after going gluten-free I would have diarrhea the few times I was glutened either by cross contamination or eating some food containing gluten. I have stayed gluten-free for almost 20 years now and knew within a few days that it was right for me although my recovery has been slow.   When I go to see a  medical provide and tell them I have celiacs they don't believe me. The same when I tell them that I carry a main celiac gene, the DQ8. It is only when I tell them that I get diarrhea after eating gluten that they realize that I might have celiac disease. Then they will order th Vitamin B12 and D3 that I need to monitor as my B12 levels can go down very fast if I'm not taking enough of it. Medical providers haven't been much help in my recovery. They are not well trained in this problem. I really hope this helps ypu. Take care.

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      @DebJ14, You said "husband has low platelets, bruises easily and gets bloody noses just from Fish Oil  He suggested he take Black Cumin Seed Oil for inflammation.  He discovered that by taking the Black Seed oil, he can eat carbs and not go into A Fib, since it does such a good job of reducing inflammation."   I don't think black seed oil is lowering inflammation.  It's lowering blood glucose levels. Black cumin seed lowers blood glucose levels.  There's a connection between high blood glucose levels and Afib.    Has your husband been checked for diabetes?   Must Read: Associations of high-normal blood pressure and impaired fasting glucose with atrial fibrillation https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36750354/

      Healthy Omega Three fats.  Olive oil or flaxseed oil, oily fish, fatty cuts of meat.   Our bodies run much better on burning fats as fuel.  Diets based on carbohydrates require an increased amount of thiamine to process the carbs into fuel for the body.  Unfortunately, thiamine mononitrate is used to enrich rice.  Thiamine mononitrate is relatively unusable in the body.  So a high carb diet can further decrease thiamine stores in the body.  Insufficient thiamine in the body causes the body to burn body fat and muscle for fuel, so weight loss and muscle wasting occurs.  Those extra carbohydrates can lead to Candida (often confused with mold toxicity) and SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth).   Losing weight quickly is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  Muscle wasting is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  I lost sixty pounds in a month.   Having difficulty putting weight on and keeping it on is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.   The AIP diet works because it eliminates all grains and grasses, rice, quinoa, all the carbs.  Without the carbs, the Candida and SIBO get starved and die off.  Easy way to change your microbiome is to change what you feed it.  With the rowdy neighbors gone, the intestine can heal and absorb more nutrients.   Supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals is beneficial.  Talk to your doctor and nutritionist.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that promotes intestinal healing.  The eight B vitamins are water soluble, so if you don't need them, they can be gotten rid of easily.   Night shades are excluded on the AIP diet.  Potatoes, tomatoes, peppers and eggplant are not allowed on the AIP diet.  They contain alkaloids that promote "a leaky gut".  Benfotiamine can help here. Sweet potatoes are avoided because they contain thiaminases, chemicals that break thiamine so that the body cannot use it.   The AIP diet has helped me.
