slice them really thick, like an inch and a half, and leave a quarter inch or so when you scoop them. It's like making little cups. These work well with a fresh salsa that's not so spicy. The mango salsa from Costco works well if you don't want to make your own.

I love that mango salsa! Thanks, Jess! I let you know the date & time so you can get a flight.

Sam's has pickled asparagus the is gluten-free and wonderful. Also, you could make an anti-pasta tray using rolled ham slices, olives and picked onions, fresh veggies and anything else you like.

Welcome MB! Thought about salami but some ham would be nice. Never had pickled asparagus. Might try it.

Everything is more fun on a stick.

Gah! I say this all the time.. . . . . . ....so true.

:huh:

:lol:

I did a surprise birthday party for my sis here last winter for fifty people, and had a lot of cut-up fruit (heavy on the grapes and berries) and veggies, as many different types of cheese slabs as I could afford, and lots of nice rice crackers with hummous dip and brandy pate. It was an after dinner, into-the-wee-hours party, so likely similar to what you're considering, Kherrighnne.. .. . it was perfect for the event and the number of people.

Make sure you have lotsa wine. After all, who in hell cares what food is there, really?

:rolleyes:

Is there a brand I should look for? Does this sound like enough food? I usually practically serve dinner but that's hard right now.

Can you come live with me? :ph34r:

I buy the Wilton kind. Bigger bottles and more options. I also roll them in coconut, cocoa powder, powdered sugar, chopped nuts, chopped candies etc...

I would love to come visit! :D

You could do some meatballs, those are easy. I'll keep thinking.

Toated coconut! Hub loves that!

I could probably put this out on another thread and get lots of ideas but ...Phfft! Why do that?

Here's the story:

I totally didn't see this--when I came back and read all the yummy ideas, I had to go back to see what was goin' on :P

I don't have much to add to everybody's suggestions.....I like to have big platters of cut up fruit (people seem to love fresh pineapple) and veggies. A sweet dip and something savory. If you have a way to keep them warm, meatballs are nice for something hot and meaty. Fill in the table with yer chocolates, popcorn, gluten-free pretzels, easy stuff like that.

I've also done a big pot of hot mulled cider on the stove--the house smells fantastic when they come in.

Hub will take care of that. I just have to get him to get 10 bottles of the same merlot and 10 of the same white. He likes to get 10 different ones so he can try them all. Gets confusing at a party. ( and makes him confusing) ;)

Taking hub on a filed trip to Costco this weekend to scope out the possibilities. Will probably cost us $150 just to look. He ( we) can't just look at Costco.

Never tried that--but cinnamon schnapps would be really good! Is it gluten-free, Rash?

If you're going to do any dips for your veggies, it's very pretty to scoop out the centers of red and orange peppers and fill them with dip. I would make a strict no gluten rule for anything brought.

Yes!! I've done that--and this time of year you can get those cute wee pumpkins :D

I found 2 sites that say the Dekuypers brand of schnapps are gluten-free. They have one called 'hot damn' cinnamon schnapps. Not 100% positive. Trying to find info for Fireball whiskey too, not being successful :(

I was wondering that, too. We used to do dark rum and cinn schapps.

Like the hummus in the Pepper. very Xmasy colored.

Since most are hub's employees, I think we can do enforce the no gluten rule. If this goes well, the boys will want out annual between Xmas and New Years neighborhood party. That will be hard to enforce & explain.

That's why you & Russell are coming. To help & bring food! :)

We have a guy here who makes the best red pepper hummus. Nothing he makes in that kitchen is gluteny so I figure is safe.

You gotta love a recipe where you put a jar in the back of the closet for 2 weeks. :)

reminds me of college days :P Hubby's bff had a corner room in our dorms. Those have the big walk-in closets. He decided to make wine in there but neglected to regulate the pressure. Purple 'wine' exploded onto the other side of the closet where his roomie's metro-sexual designer wardrobe hung :rolleyes:

Sorry--didn't read all the way to the bottom of the recipe to see where it said to age for months :rolleyes:

Here's the story:

Hub wants to have a little Xmas party for his employees/people he works with and spouses if they are so inclined. About 30 people. Trying to make this as easy as possible since most of it falls on me. We have decided to do a wine, cheese, chocolate type thing. Will have beer and soft drinks, too. gluten-free crackers, fruit...

I'm going to go heavy on cheese like cheddar from Costco but will get a few odder things. gluten-free crackers so I don't have to worry.

J & M make great fudge and toffee. J makes great PB truffles. I can make them, too, if they don't have time. Also, I have made some coffee/choc and amaretto truffles. I think I can make these ahead & freeze.

Here's the questions for my wise and experienced partiers:

Sound OK? Enough food?

Have to roll truffles in things. Can't use graham crackers unless I use a gluten-free kind. Use crushed peanuts and those little chocolate jummy sprinkle things. If I could get red & green ones, are they gluten-free? Will have to look.

Something else I could serve?

What do I do if someone brings glutinous cookies? I don't want to worry about the crumbs in my left overs. Hub maybe can tell them not to, they all know I have Celiac.

Thanks!

I know I should be offline (and will return to couch shortly but I took a loooong nap). Definitely keep the non gluten-free out of the house. You're doing too well to get CC'd/ And it's your house! I'm sure everything you make will be delicious. Perhaps you can suggest what they bring and make sure it's all things you can eat (or drink like wine).

Thanks for all the wub.gif I felt it! Klark is calling me - better get back down there!

Loey

      Newly Diagnosed

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @NCalvo822! Ditto to what Scott said. But let me ask you, what method or methods did your physician use to diagnose you as having celiac disease? Normally, it is a two step process. The first step involves a blood test that looks for certain antibodies produced by celiac disease. The second step involves an upper GI scoping and biopsy of the small bowel lining to check for the damage to the lining typically caused by celiac disease. This second step is used as confirmation of the blood work when the antibody testing turns up some positives. Occasionally, positive antibody tests scores can be caused by things besides celiac disease. Which of these were done or did you have both done before the doc declared you to have celiac disease?

      Frustrated

      I followed the Autoimmune Protocol Diet to get my symptoms calmed down and my nutrients up.   I know what a struggle it is.  You're why I'm here. Smoothing out some rough parts of your journey makes my journey worthwhile. Here's the tests you can get for Celiac antibodies...

      This Roller Coaster Ride Needs to Stop

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Ginger38, I'm with you!   I could not take Metformin.  I got so sick, constant diarrhea, abdominal cramps, extreme highs and lows, no energy, weight loss, muscle wasting.  Just horrible.   Metformin is known to block thiamine absorption.  Talk to your doctor about thiamine deficiency.  It's called Gastrointestinal Beriberi.  My doctor didn't recognize thiamine deficiency outside of alcoholism.  So I took over the counter Thiamine in the form Tetrahydrofurfuryl Disulfide and felt health improvement within an hour.  Magical!   I followed the Autoimmune Protocol diet to get my stomach calmed down and control my blood glucose levels without medication. Being diabetic, we lose more thiamine through our kidneys, and the Metformin on top of it and malabsorption from Celiac.  Talk to your doctor soon!
