Dessert Suggestions Needed

Okay gang, I'm counting on you to help me out! My family is getting together to celebrate my son's first teenage birthday (holy smokes, I'm getting old :ph34r: ). We want to have a dessert that everyone can enjoy. Once upon a day, my son's very favorite apple pie would have been the centerpiece. Unfortunately, that is no longer good for all or even most of us.

So I'm hoping the more experienced group mind can help me come up with a fantabulous dessert that everyone can share. Is there such a thing? Any and all ideas are welcome. Thanks in advance for all the good thoughts you always share. :D:wub:

I think by far your best bet would be all the choices you have over at "The Best of Mirielle" on delphi. She has tons of dessert suggestions to choose from.....

I know what you mean about feeling old...... Eileen will be 13 this September. :o Eek!

Good Luck!

why no apple pie?

This is an apple crisp recipe that I use to make almost every week...I have been meaning to make it into a gluten free one but have been waiting for my local health food store to get soy flakes in stock to try them to replace the oatmeal in this recipe(I have heard you can get them online but don't know where. Aso the flour in this I would replace with an all purpous gluten free flour or a mix of different flours. (my favorite mix for sweet mixes is 1 cup sweet rice flour, 1 cup brown rice flour 2/3 cup potato starch (not flour) 1/3 tapioca starch) Also if your worried about lowfat...I have used applesauce in place of oil in some of my other baked goods like my cornbread and it has turned out good. You might also want to ad 1/2 a tsp of both xanthan gum and guar gum but you probably don't need it cause you might want it crumbley anyway.

here is the origanal rescipe

Apple-blueberry crisp

1-12oz can 100% pure apple jc concentrate (thawed)

2 tablespoon Corn starch

10 tart cooking apples (I actually use 1/2 tart 1/2 sweet to mix it up...and since i use granny smith which are big apples I only use about 7-8 apples)

2 Tablespoons margarine (I don't think this is absolutely neccicary to the recipe if you don't want the fat or the salt from the margarine...i have made it without before)

1 teaspoon cinnamon

2 cups fresh or loose-packed frozen blueberies (you can use rasberries or blackberries to switch it up)

Crumb topping

1/3 cup vegetable oil

1/3 cup honey

1/2 cups nuts

1/2 cup flour (use gluten free mix or your fravorite flour substitute)

2 cups quick-cooking oats (this is where I would use the soy flakes or your favorite crushed up cereal...I don't know if there are any low sodium gluten free cereals)

In large saucepan or skillet, combine cold apple jc concentrate and cornstarch. Whisk cornstartch until it is completely dissolved and no lumps remain. Cook over medium heat until thick and no lumps remain. Add margarine, lemon juice, and cinnamon. Stir to blend all ingredients together. Remove mixture from heat, pour over sliced apples and toss well.

Prepare crumb topping: In mixing bowl cream together oil honey. add chopped nuts, flour, and oats. Toss well, coating all dry ingredients with the oil and honey mixture.

In 9x13 baking dishsprayed with nonstick spray, place the apple filling. Add the berries, distributiing in an even layer over the apples. Sprinkle crumb topping evenly over the fruit. Bake at 350 for 30 to 45 min. or until crumb topping is toasted golden brown and filling is bubbling. Serve warm.

i hope this helps a little....sorry I haven't tried it gluten free yet but I don't usually buy online because the stuff is so much more expensive and then I have to pay shipping...with 4 of us gluten free in my family...it gets really expensive...and we were pretty poor before we got celiac...I live about 10 min from a health food store that will get just about anything I ask them to but sometimes I have to ask a couple times and wait awhile. I sent this cause I figured you needed it soon...you might want to try it first before the birthday if you have a good crust recipe you could probably put this in a crust as well or maybe someone out there has a tried and true crumb topping. Good luck!

why no apple pie?

Mostly because my son does not enjoy the gluten-free crust or the missing sugar. I thought since the original wouldn't do, I'd switch altogether so he wouldn't feel like he was having to settle for something less on his birthday. He is not on the specialties list.

Thanks for the ideas. I'm headed over to Delphi to check out the list.

Maybe a whipped cream cake? I found this one on this website:

Sift dry ingredients:

1 ½ cups Asian glutinous rice flour (it is gluten-free!)

2 teaspoons gluten-free baking powder

¼ teaspoon salt

Whip until stiff:

1 cup cold whipping cream

Then add:

2 eggs

1 cup sugar

1 teaspoon gluten-free vanilla

and continue beating until it is no longer gritty.

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350F. Grease an 8 x 12 inch pan.

Add dry ingredients, blend in with wire whisk, then pour into prepared pan. Tap on counter to remove air bubbles. Bake for 30-45 min, or until it tests done. Top with cinnamon sugar while still warm or cool well and frost. Make a double recipe in a 9” x 13" pan.

That may lend itself well to being made with splenda?

How about meringue shells (use splenda) filled with fresh fruit? The shells you could make ahead of time. Very elegant looking and refreshing. Although a teenager might not go for it!

I found a crustless cheesecake I can't find now, but I am positive I just googled "crustless cheesecake" and got it.

When I served that, I also made a chocolate mousse. I got regular chocolate syrup and heavy whipping cream and put it in my Magic Bullet (a blender will work, I am sure) and all of a sudden, it's whipped into a creamy dream! I served it in martini glasses with raspberries on top. I kind of had to play with how much of each ingredient I used until I got to the consistency I liked.

      New (possible) celiac diagnosis

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Judy M! Yes, he definitely needs to continue eating gluten until the day of the endoscopy. Not sure why the GI doc advised otherwise but it was a bum steer.  Celiac disease has a genetic component but also an "epigenetic" component. Let me explain. There are two main genes that have been identified as providing the "potential" to develop "active" celiac disease. We know them as HLA-DQ 2.5 (aka, HLA-DQ 2) and HLA-DQ8. Without one or both of these genes it is highly unlikely that a person will develop celiac disease at some point in their life. About 40% of the general population carry one or both of these two genes but only about 1% of the population develops active celiac disease. Thus, possessing the genetic potential for celiac disease is far less than deterministic. Most who have the potential never develop the disease. In order for the potential to develop celiac disease to turn into active celiac disease, some triggering stress event or events must "turn on" the latent genes. This triggering stress event can be a viral infection, some other medical event, or even prolonged psychological/emotional trauma. This part of the equation is difficult to quantify but this is the epigenetic dimension of the disease. Epigenetics has to do with the influence that environmental factors and things not coded into the DNA itself have to do in "turning on" susceptible genes. And this is why celiac disease can develop at any stage of life. Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition (not a food allergy) that causes inflammation in the lining of the small bowel. The ingestion of gluten causes the body to attack the cells of this lining which, over time, damages and destroys them, impairing the body's ability to absorb nutrients since this is the part of the intestinal track responsible for nutrient absorption and also causing numerous other food sensitivities such as dairy/lactose intolerance. There is another gluten-related disorder known as NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or just, "gluten sensitivity") that is not autoimmune in nature and which does not damage the small bowel lining. However, NCGS shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease such as gas, bloating, and diarrhea. It is also much more common than celiac disease. There is no test for NCGS so, because they share common symptoms, celiac disease must first be ruled out through formal testing for celiac disease. This is where your husband is right now. It should also be said that some experts believe NCGS can transition into celiac disease. I hope this helps.

      New (possible) celiac diagnosis

      By Judy M · Posted

      My husband has had lactose intolerance for his entire life (he's 68 yo).  So, he's used to gastro issues. But for the past year he's been experiencing bouts of diarrhea that last for hours.  He finally went to his gastroenterologist ... several blood tests ruled out other maladies, but his celiac results are suspect.  He is scheduled for an endoscopy and colonoscopy in 2 weeks.  He was told to eat "gluten free" until the tests!!!  I, and he know nothing about this "diet" much less how to navigate his in daily life!! The more I read, the more my head is spinning.  So I guess I have 2 questions.  First, I read on this website that prior to testing, eat gluten so as not to compromise the testing!  Is that true? His primary care doctor told him to eat gluten free prior to testing!  I'm so confused.  Second, I read that celiac disease is genetic or caused by other ways such as surgery.  No family history but Gall bladder removal 7 years ago, maybe?  But how in God's name does something like this crop up and now is so awful he can't go a day without worrying.  He still works in Manhattan and considers himself lucky if he gets there without incident!  Advice from those who know would be appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!

      You've done an excellent job of meticulously tracking the rash's unpredictable behavior, from its symmetrical spread and stubborn scabbing to the potential triggers you've identified, like the asthma medication and dietary changes. It's particularly telling that the rash seems to flare with wheat consumption, even though your initial blood test was negative—as you've noted, being off wheat before a test can sometimes lead to a false negative, and your description of the other symptoms—joint pain, brain fog, stomach issues—is very compelling. The symmetry of the rash is a crucial detail that often points toward an internal cause, such as an autoimmune response or a systemic reaction, rather than just an external irritant like a plant or mites. I hope your doctor tomorrow takes the time to listen carefully to all of this evidence you've gathered and works with you to find some real answers and effective relief. Don't be discouraged if the rash fluctuates; your detailed history is the most valuable tool you have for getting an accurate diagnosis.

      Gluten free beer ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In this case the beer is excellent, but for those who are super sensitive it is likely better to go the full gluten-free beer route. Lakefront Brewery (another sponsor!) has good gluten-free beer made without any gluten ingredients.

      Welcome to the forum, @catsrlife! Celiac disease can be diagnosed without committing to a full-blown "gluten challenge" if you get a skin biopsy done during an active outbreak of dermatitis herpetiformis, assuming that is what is causing the rash. There is no other known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis so it is definitive for celiac disease. You would need to find a dermatologist who is familiar with doing the biopsy correctly, however. The samples need to be taken next to the pustules, not on them . . . a mistake many dermatologists make when biopsying for dermatitis herpetiformis.
