3 squash pasta

1 large spaghetti squash

1 zucchini, washed and chopped

1 yellow squash, washed and chopped

5 chicken breasts

jar of tomato sauce of choice or homemade marinara sauce

can of diced tomatoes

1. Preheat oven to 375.

2. Cut spaghetti squash in half lengthwise. Place each cut side down in baking dish and fill halfway with water. Bake at 375 for 30 minutes or until skin is easily pierced with fork.

3. Season chicken breasts (I used garlic powder, red pepper flakes & poultry seasoning). Bake chicken breasts according to package directions.

4. When chicken breasts are cooled, cut into chunks and grind in a food processor (or leave in chunks - personal preference).

5. Remove spaghetti squash from skin by raking a fork lengthwise to scoop the spaghetti-like strands out of the "shell". Put in a large stockpot.

6. Add tomato sauce, can of diced tomatoes, chicken, chopped zucchini and yellow squash to the pot.

7. Toss well & heat on medium. Season with italian spices of choice and simmer until heated through.

8. Pour spaghetti squash mixture into a baking dish (13x9 is what I used) and bake in a 350-degree oven for 30 minutes.

Serve & enjoy!

What great ideas. I have just printed the new ones out. I starting getting worse last night and am not too good today to say the least. I hope this is just a dip. When I call the doctor tomorrow I will ask for the chest X-ray RX that he wanted to do. Have started my 2nd round of antibiotics.

My husband took me to the store a little while ago, so that there were things in the house for me to eat and make dinners (for many of these recipes). He pushed the cart and going to the store is one job he hates. But, we were gone only a total of 60 minutes from home and back home again. I knew that if this not a dip, that I would not be able to go tomorrow.

I also need to get to the health food store, but I don't see how I can manage it right now. So, my husband says "I would go for you, but I would not know how to do it". I told him that I would call the store manager and you would just give them the list and they will shop for you. Boy, was he disappointed. :lol: So, maybe tomorrow. If I have to have a chest X-ray then that takes time. He has to drive to hadies to drop off the oxygen tanks. Has to pick up the new RX's and get them filled. He is not going to be a happy camper tomorrow LOL. Keep the recipes coming as they are so helpful right now.

Tonight I am making the ham and scalloped potatoes. We use the gluten-free spam instead of ham as it is much more moist. My hubby's Mom made this and he loves it. Thought I would soften him up for tomorrow.

A good number of my recipes in the recipe section,, the "As Promised, A Few Recipes" thread are corn, soy, and dairy free. (I am Gluten-free Casein-free, minimize soy, and just plain ol' don't cook with corn very often.)

Thanks! I forgot to list that I add chopped broccoli to the sauce as well. I try to get in as many different veggies daily as possible and the chicken breast is a great protein! Enjoy!

Patti, we had the best scalloped potatoes we have ever had. My hubby who does not say much about food, said UMM (the highest praise he gives LOL). I did substitute 1 cup chicken broth for one cup of Vances. I have to make some more Vances up so I can have a smoothie tomorrow. Thank you for sharing. Because there is only the two of us for dinner right now, I put them in two seperate 9" casseroles. And we started on the second one (good thing I need to gain weight). So, tomorrow we will have a big salad to go with what is left.

Elizabeth, I have added the chopped broccoli to the recipe I printed out. Thank you for remembering.

Armetta--So glad that you enjoyed it! The next time I make these, I will use the broth--I thought of that only after I made them. :)

Last night for dinner we had the rest of the scalloped potatoes. I made up my own salad dressing from a suggestion on this post and I liked it better then the Ranch I have been using for years. I also made up the fruit dish with orange juice and honey. My husband said that if I keep feeding him like this, he is going to have to lose more weight then he thought he had to. Since I am so wired from the Prednisone, I have spent some of my time in the kitchen. I have had fun with the cooking and want to thank you all for the suggestions. I still have to go to Rachel's thread "as promished a few recipes". When I feel better, I am going to go through those recipes.

Tonight I made the Greek Rice and it is so tasty. Had a salad and a fruit salad for desert. I am really getting into this cooking - he he. Really I am. What I am hoping for now that I have stopped all corn, dairy and soy, is that maybe this was part of my exhaustion. It would be so great to have energy again. I still have not gone into Rachel's thread for recipes, but have it taped to my computer to do that soon. Thanks everyone and have a great evening.

My mouth has been watering reading through this thread. And I'm printing out all these great recipes.

I just remembered a creamy salad dressing I've been making lately.

Mayonaise with lemon juice, thinned with water and sweetened with sugar or stevia. Add dill for a nice variety. Or, (for those who can have dairy) add parmasan cheese for a Ceaser salad dressing. Makes a good veggie dip, too.

I'm glad you liked it :wub: It's a family favorite and is great for poor college students B)

Did you have it with apple sauce? The apple sauce is essential, IMO. :)

Armetta--That's great that you're enjoying the cooking (and eating!) I wouldn't be surprised at all if your energy level goes up as a result of cutting out corn. When I identified legumes and eliminated them completely, I noticed a definate difference in my fatigue. I was exhausted by 4PM every day (felt like I could go to bed and sleep all night)--now, I don't get that terrible slump anymore!

Thanks Patti for the words of encouragement about the energy. It would be so great if I had so much more then I have had since the diagnosis. At least enough to get the April 15th taxes done - he he. The dining room table has been literally covered with papers since mid March. I will have to dust the papers before I start :blink::ph34r: .

Well, I hope you're on to something--I just think that it is exhausting for our systems to have to deal with these foods that we're sensitive to. After a while, it catches up with us :angry:

I am making the sweet and sour pot roast for dinner. It calls for Worcestershire sauce and I don't know what to substitute for it. Does anyone have any ideas. It calls for 2 to 3 Tbl. and I thought I should not jsut leave it out. Thanks.

I thought Worcestershire (Lea & Perrins) was okay in the U.S.-- or are you in Canada?

If you can't have it, I would try maybe mixing up equal parts fish sauce (or a bit less anchovy paste), vinegar, Tabasco, & molasses, with a pinch of cloves & maybe adding a little extra garlic in the dish. I love W. sauce, so I hope I'm not wrong about its gluten-freedom!

It's gluten-free, but I am allergic to corn, dairy and soy. I have now become a label reader again so that I have none of my allergens in my diet. It was a brand new bottle to I don't have any fish sauce and will just leave the Lea & Perrins out.

Oops, that WAS in the topic, wasn't it? Must've been the brain fog!

Unless you really dislike fish sauce, I'd get some-- maybe not in time for tonight, but eventually. It's sort of soyish in effect & if you miss soy sauce it might be good to have on hand. But some do have wheat so be careful!

Good luck with your recipe,

Leah

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      I am doing a gluten challenge right now and I bought vital wheat gluten so I can know exactly how much gluten I am getting. One tablespoon is 7g so 1½ tablespoons of Vital Wheat Gluten per day will get you to 10g You could add it to bean burgers as a binder or add to hot chocolate or apple sauce and stir.

      @catnapt, Wheat germ has very little gluten in it. Gluten is the carbohydrate storage protein, what the flour is made from, the fluffy part. Just like with beans, there's the baby plant that will germinate ("germ"-inate) if sprouted, and the bean part is the carbohydrate storage protein. Wheat germ is the baby plant inside a kernel of wheat...

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      Hello, @asaT, I'm curious to know whether you are taking other B vitamins like Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3. Malabsorption in Celiac disease affects all the water soluble B vitamins and Vitamin C. Thiamine and Niacin are required to produce energy for all the homocysteine lowering reactions provided by Folate, Cobalamine and Pyridoxine. Weight...

      Raising you vitamin D will increase absorption of calcium automatically without supplementation of calcium.  A high PTH can be caused by low D causing poor calcium absorption; not insuffient calcium intake.  With low D your body is not absorbing calcium from your food so it steals it from your bones.  Heart has priority over bone. I've been taking 10,000 IU D3 a day since 2015.  My doctor says to continue. To fix my lactose intolerance, lots of lactobacillus from yogurts, and brine fermented pickles and saurkraut and olives.  We lose much of our ability to make lactase endogenosly with maturity but a healthy colony of lactobacillus in our gut excretes lactase in exchange for room and board. The milk protein in grass fed milk does not bother me. It tastes like the milk I grew up on.  If I drink commercial milk I get heartburn at night.

Iodine deficiency is a growing concern.  I take 600 mcg a day of Liquid Iodine.  It and NAC have accelerated my healing all over.  Virtually blind in my right eye after starting antihypertensive medication and vision is slowly coming back.  I had to cut out starches because they drove my glucose up into the 200+ range.  I replaced them with Red Bull for the glucose intake with the vitamins, minerals and Taurine needed to process through the mitochodria Krebs Cycle to create ATP.  Went from A1c 13 down to 7.9.  Work in progress.

Luckily you still have time to do a proper gluten challenge (10 grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks) before your next appointment when you can be retested.

      Hello, @asaT, I'm curious to know whether you are taking other B vitamins like Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3.  Malabsorption in Celiac disease affects all the water soluble B vitamins and Vitamin C.  Thiamine and Niacin are required to produce energy for all the homocysteine lowering reactions provided by Folate, Cobalamine and Pyridoxine.   Weight gain with a voracious appetite is something I experienced while malnourished.  It's symptomatic of Thiamine B1 deficiency.   Conversely, some people with thiamine deficiency lose their appetite altogether, and suffer from anorexia.  At different periods on my lifelong journey, I suffered this, too.   When the body doesn't have sufficient thiamine to turn food, especially carbohydrates, into energy (for growth and repair), the body rations what little thiamine it has available, and turns the carbs into fat, and stores it mostly in the abdomen.  Consuming a high carbohydrate diet requires additional thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  Simple carbohydrates (sugar, white rice, etc.) don't contain thiamine, so the body easily depletes its stores of Thiamine processing the carbs into fat.  The digestive system communicates with the brain to keep eating in order to consume more thiamine and other nutrients it's not absorbing.   One can have a subclinical thiamine insufficiency for years.  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so the symptoms can wax and wane mysteriously.  Symptoms of Thiamine insufficiency include stunted growth, chronic fatigue, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi (diarrhea, abdominal pain), heart attack, Alzheimer's, stroke, and cancer.   Thiamine improves bone turnover.  Thiamine insufficiency can also affect the thyroid.  The thyroid is important in bone metabolism.  The thyroid also influences hormones, like estrogen and progesterone, and menopause.  Vitamin D, at optimal levels, can act as a hormone and can influence the thyroid, as well as being important to bone health, and regulating the immune system.  Vitamin A is important to bone health, too, and is necessary for intestinal health, as well.   I don't do dairy because I react to Casein, the protein in dairy that resembles gluten and causes a reaction the same as if I'd been exposed to gluten, including high tTg IgA.  I found adding mineral water containing calcium and other minerals helpful in increasing my calcium intake.   Malabsorption of Celiac affects all the vitamins and minerals.  I do hope you'll talk to your doctor and dietician about supplementing all eight B vitamins and the four fat soluble vitamins because they all work together interconnectedly.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      By Florence Lillian · Posted

      Hi Jane: You may want to try the D3 I now take. I have reactions to fillers and many additives. Sports Research, it is based in the USA and I have had no bad reactions with this brand. The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free.  I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree with me -  I just keep trying and have finally settled on Sports Research. I take NAKA Women's Multi full spectrum, and have not felt sick after taking 2 capsules per day -  it is a Canadian company. I buy both from Amazon. I wish you well in your searching, I know how discouraging it all is. Florence.
