Oh yeah, and if you've figured out a way to make chicken fried steak gluten-free, I'd love to know ;)

My dh made chicken fried steak for me a few weeks ago and I couldn't tell the difference. I will ask him what he did and post his recipe. Now that I think about it, I liked it better than the old way.

Laura, your recipe sounds yummy! We will have to try it.

Southerners, while you wait for the chicken and dumplings (I am waiting too!), here is our "Southern-style" mac and cheese:

(Measurements approx.)

Cut up 1/2 stick of margarine or butter in the bottom of a casserole dish.

Add 2 eggs

Pour in @ 8 oz. of cooked gluten-free macaroni noodles

Add cut up chunks of cheese (as much as you like, I just eye-ball it) cheddar and/or any white cheeses

Salt and pepper

Stir it all up and add some milk until it looks somewhat soupy.

Bake @ 400* for 20 min.

Let it sit about 10 min. before eating.

Easy and yummy!

I fry chicken in gluten-free pancake mix with crushed gluten-free corn flakes and salt and pepper.

I have also used Bob's gluten-free all-purpose flour, seasoning, and crushed cornflakes.

Dip chicken in egg, fry in canola oil.

I usually fry it in little nugget or strip size pieces, that is what my kids like best.

Throw in some green beans and summer squash. . . anyone getting hungry? :P

Chicken Fried Steak. Oh YUM. Please post the recipe.

Now that we're onto chicken fried stuff, any one ever try dredging your meat in the all purpose flour, and then in parmesian cheese, then fry?

It is so good! The cheese gets real crispy and it has a grat flavor! It's good on eggplant, like for eggplant parm! Or on veggies like zuchini or mushrooms for an appetizer!

And sometimes I'll through alittle ground up pecan into the mix!!!!

I make chicken parmesan with gluten-free breadcrumbs, parm, italian seasoning, garlic salt, & lemon pepper.

Dip the flattened chicken into beaten egg, dip in the breadcrumb mixture, and pan cook. Once done, cover with sauce and mozzarella and stick under broiler to melt the cheese

YUM! :lol:

Here ya go. Y'all may have a different biscuit mix you use, but I like this one. I'm new to this, though. I use water in the mix to cut back on carbs since my hubby is a diabetic. Enjoy! :rolleyes:

Chicken and Dumplings

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

3 ½ cups water

2 cups skim milk

1 McCormick’s chicken bullion cube

1 T. freshly ground black pepper

1 1/2 tsp. salt

1 c. Cause You’re Special Biscuit Mix

3 T. Crisco, 0 Trans fat type

1 egg

1/3 c. water

3 T. cornstarch

4 T. water

Boil chicken in water until tender in a large saucepan. Remove from broth and cut into bite size pieces. Combine biscuit mix, Crisco, egg, and water according to package directions. Add milk, salt, and pepper to broth and return to a boil. Drop 1 tsp. of dough at a time into broth mixture. Keep it at a rolling boil. Add chicken to pot. Mix cornstarch and water in a separate container until all lumps disappear, then add to pot. Boil until desired consistency is reached (usually less than 5 minutes), stirring frequently.

Sorry for the delay on the Chicken Fried steak, sick child.

My dh uses the gluten free all purpose flour with salt, pepper and a dash of garlic salt. He coats the meat in a mixture of skim milk (or Lactaid for me) and two egg whites then coats the meat with the flour. He lightly fries in frying pan over medium high heat. For the gravy he uses the flour mixture with the milk and the drippings from the fried meat or substitutes chicken broth for the drippings. He's still working on the consistency of the gravy b/c it seems to thicken up quicker than a traditional gravy but man oh man is it tasty!

We use the orange cheese powder from the bulk section of the super market and use rice instead of noodles my son loves it, get a foreman grill we cook homemade chicken nuggets right on the grill for a quick meal, also try braking up bar-b-que pototoe chips in the gluten-free flour and bread with that makes them taste really good, for burgers we cook corn tortillas lightly on the grill spray them with a cooking spray first get them just slight crispy put cheese on each piece and slap the burger in between tastes way better the rolls. Also wrap gluten-free hotdogs in cheese and then a corn tortilla spray lightly with gluten-free cooking spray and stick in the foreman grill instant hotdog in a "bun" cook the dog first of course.

I absolutely LOVE these! I never would have thought of it if I didn't have to be gluten-free :P

Sounds like a great idea! Dont have a foremen grill thought (wife melted it.) but plan to get one, so will keep this in mind! :)

Kraft now sells their powdered cheese for the Mac and Cheese in a parmesan cheese style container... in fact, just last night I made Tinkyada elbow noodles with the cheese sauce made from the Kraft cheese powder, just add butter and milk just like the Kraft boxes... I have tons left over and it's even better reheated the next day!

Nini,

Thank you so much for sharing this! I found the cheese at Walmart and had wonderful mac n cheese last night. This was something that I really missed. I tried the Annie's and DeBoles and didn't like either of those. I am so excited about this.

My mom used to make reg mac and cheese with Velveeta when we were kids. You could try that.

Velveeta works for mac and cheese and so does Kraft Deli Deluxe American Cheese...

So what just melt the velveta and mix?

sparkles Contributor

I use the gluten-free macaroni and just put in some cut up (Kraft) velveeta cheese with a little milk. It is better than the stuff that comes in the box.

when I drain and rinse the noodles, I melt some butter in the bottom of the pan, then I mix in Velveeta cut into small cubes and a little bit of milk and mix it til it's all melty and creamy, then I add the noodles back in and mix it all up.

I have to laugh....I really am glad you like it. But it definitely shows that different tastes work for different people. In public I would have to say, "No thank you. I wouldn't care for any."

it's all in your individual taste... some people like it, other's don't. personally I don't, but you might! Give it a try, if you can't have dairy, it may be just fine for you.

      Yes, well, that's what we have been told, probably ever since the different types of cholesterol were identified. It's what most of our primary care providers are still telling us, it's what the commercials tell us. But researchers (up until now at any rate) have been learning a great deal about HDL. Nevertheless, the universe of what we still don't know about HDL is vast. And since I can sustain only a 35% level of understanding when I hear lectures on HDL, I will have to nutshell my layperson's understanding, which is that at this time, it's possible or likely that HDL-C levels are best understood as U-shaped, that there's a sweet spot right there in the dip of the "U" and anything before or after is not ideal. This is why I said what I did earlier about the "good" and the "bad" being oversimplifications. The research has long since moved on. There's a lot of talk about how the focus should be on functionality, that you want to make sure that all that HDL is performing how it should be. And now, that's it, I've exhausted my ability to explain my understanding of HDL!

      Hi, I have a 3 1/2 year old daughter..I would say she has had tantrums since even before she was a year old. Challenging but not extreme. Lately, her behavior had gotten extreme. Just so angry, yelling mean hateful things, completely defiant, was causing a lot of disruption in our house, I felt like I had lost the little girl I knew, we were baffled.   Something just didn’t seem right to me, I have been researching and read about how gluten can sometimes affect kids behavior. I took her off gluten a week ago tomorrow. The next couple days after I took her off gluten the days were much easier. About 4 days in she had one of the worst days I’ve seen her have tho. I kept on with it tho and the past two days she has been angelic. Is this common that if it is gluten that she could still have a bad day like that a few days after taking her off of it? Should I try to reintroduce it at some point to see if it’s really a gluten intolerance? I’m not gonna lie, if she continues with the great behavior she’s had the past couple days I will probably be scared to reintroduce it but don’t want her to have to avoid gluten if it’s not necessary. Anyone have advice?

      But HDL is considered to be the "good" cholesterol, right?
    • plumbago
      Since some time between 2010 and 2014, my HDL-C has been going up and you might even say elevated. The last time I could find in my records that my HDL was normal was in 2014 when it was 67. Last week, it was 101, and it’s been 88 and above since about 2015. A significant life event happened in 2010 when I was diagnosed with Celiac disease and in May of that year began a gluten free diet. An informal perusal of a previously posted topic on HDL on this forum shows that a lot of members responding had high normal or high levels of HDL, so it doesn’t seem to be that unusual. But because my HDL numbers have been so high for so long, I am now officially concerned enough that I will probably reach out to a cardiologist who specializes in lipids. I would like to know if I should have a genetic test, as a specific genetic mutation can be one reason for high HDL numbers. I will also ask if he/she thinks a cardiac work up including a coronary artery calcium score should be considered. I think by now most of us are done with the ridiculous good and bad cholesterol labels; the amount of what we don’t know about HDL is quite large. For me my questions include is it a matter of production or an inability to clear HDL, and are the high levels having an effect on my vasculature (or a result of a less than optimal vasculature)? My last TSH level was normal, so it's likely not a thyroid issue. I also take B12 regularly. I’ve read that niacin can cause HDL levels to go up, but B12 is not niacin, and I could find no definitive link between robust B12 supplementation and abnormally high HDL levels. Any input is appreciated! Plumbago

      @Mynx, how long have you been gluten-free? I ask because many newly diagnosed celiacs react to many things, and often think their reactions are caused by gluten, when in fact, they are really caused by a combination of a sensitive gut due to damage, as well as additional food intolerance/leaky gut issues to other foods which may be temporary until their villi heal.
