Italian Cookies

We recently had my counsins confirmation party and my aunt went to a bakery in Summit, NJ for the cake. She asked the baker if they serve anything that might be gluten free. The baker in turn asked if this was for a person with Celiac Disease. She said that their is a family of Celiacs in town that shop there. She said that pinyoly cookies (I am sure I did not spell that correctly, my Italian grandmother is probably shaking her finger at me :P ) are gluten free because they are made with almond paste and not flour. She also said they happen to make a flourless chocolate cake. I never thought to look in a bakery for gluten free food. Just thought I would pass this on.

True! Pignoli cookies are gluten-free by their very nature! Here's a recipe: Open Original Shared Link

I personally wouldn't eat them from the bakery though because cc is a guarantee with all that loose flour flying around...

Speaking of italian cookies...Does anyone know of a recipe for half moon/black & white cookies? I had a gluteny one from a "NY" deli here and it was gross. I miss my half moons from Syracuse :(

Anytime we go to Syracuse, we have to bring a dozen back for my older son! The ones from Syr. are unlike any we've had anywhere else. Harrison Bakery made the BEST halfmoons! ;)

Mmmmm....Harrison.....

You know, I could just eat my way from Westcott St. down to Armory Square. Start at Dorians and make my way down to Pastabilities...

Of course, all of that is full of gluten <_<

I don't have a recipe, but I enjoyed the black & white cookies from the gluten-free bread basket in Chester NY (www.gfbreadbasket.com). It was actually kind of funny, because my mom had gone shopping there for me. All I really wanted was some bagels (Mom was coming to watch me compete at a gymnastics meet for college, so it's not like I had access to a freezer to store the stuff in). But when my mom got there, she's lugging a mini-refrigerator (it can hold like 6 cans of soda). She'd gone to the bakery, got my bagels, saw peanut butter cookies (I'm not a cookie/dessert person, but my dad makes the best PB cookies, and that's something I cannot resist!), so she got them. Then she got some muffins. And then the woman that owns the bakery said that she couldn't possibly leave without a black and white cookie.... all college students love them. So into the bag went one of those! The black and white cookie was a good replacement for the ones I remember getting in the supermarket as a little kid, one of the best gluten-free cookies I've tasted.

Unfortunately, the cookie is not listed on their website, but I'm sure if you email/call them, they'd figure something out. I don't remember that being a specialty item! And I have to say, their PB cookies taste like the real deal.... it's a good thing my gymnastics coach doesn't care what we eat. I ate soooo many cookies that night ! haha. But come on, it was the first cookies I'd had in I don't know how long!

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Definitely worth speaking to your gastroenterologist about this. My own told me that by using Gaviscon a barrier forms over the contents of the stomach and stops gas and acid irritating the throat. In fact, he said to me that because I found relief using Gaviscon that was a very clear indicator that reflux was the cause of that particular issue. A wedge...

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      I did get the pneumonia vaccine about 4 years ago. I had this amazing allergist who did all those vitamin deficiencies test and told to get that vaccine. Unfortunately she retired. I haven’t been to an allergist in a few years, I’m not sure what my levels are now. I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young...

      Yes I do have acid reflux. I’m not on anything for it at the moment. I sometimes wonder if that’s what it could be because I get heart burn every night. I may revisit my gastrointestinal doctor again. Thanks for the reply

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways. I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux. Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following...

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Since initially getting your D checked a few years ago, has it since rebounded to normal levels? Sounds like at some point you got it checked again.

I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young etc. But yes I think I should at the very least get a different opinion. Thank you for your reply

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways.  I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux.  Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following a holiday to France in 2019, where I had been exposed to gluten.    The reflux continued into the autumn and winter, my throat itched to begin with, particularly after meals, but it then that feeling of irritation seemed to spread to my lungs.  I even found it difficult to breathe on occasion. What stopped it in its tracks was using a wedge pillow at night, following a reflux diet (you can find them online), not eating 2-4 hours before bed and also having a dose of Gaviscon Advanced at night, which forms a barrier so that acid/food can't go back up your esophagus.  The throat irritation faded, and then I found it easier to breathe again. Just mentioning in case it could be a contributing factor.
