Real Corn Bread! And Noodle Kugel!


cycler

Recommended Posts

cycler Contributor

Thanks to all of you, I finally did it! I baked a real cornbread!

I used the recipe on the back of the cornmeal bag (Indian Head) and I only changed the flour to very ground almonds (not almond flour - at $14 a bag I wasn't going to use that in case it didn't work) and I used gluten-free baking powder. I was able to use everything else the same as before and it worked!

It tastes exactly like cornbread or corn muffins are supposed to - no aftertaste like many gluten-free products - it didn't crumble and it wasn't gritty at all.

The only thing I need now is a small food processor to really grind the almonds better.

I also spoke to customer service at Mannischewitz - they've got a whole line of gluten-free products and they told me that their Passover egg noodles are gluten-free. They use potato flour in them. Normally during the year you might not be able to get them, but my supermarket still had them from a few months ago and I brought them to see if I'd be able to bake a Noodle Kugel - and I did! It tastes just like the real thing!

I'm so excited to be able to eat real food!

I am practically jumping up and down at the thought of a gluten-free noodle kugel! So exciting! I will definitely keep my eye out for them in the spring and stock up then.

You may want to try the Magic Bullet from homelandhousewares.com. I don't usually buy things off of infomercials, but this thing is absolutely wonderful! I use it almost every day. It's very multi-purpose.

I know - I was so excited too - it came out SOOOOOOO delicious - just like the real thing. All they had ws the skinny soup noodles and if it worked using them I think that it'll be even better when they sell the wide ones.

Good thing that you're in CA - I hope that I'll be the first one in the stores in NY when they stock for Passover to buy all the noodles so it'll last all year!

I did see that post - the Manishewitz Passover Potato Kugel are gluten-free also.

I hope the cashier doesn't think it's weird when I buy an entire case of egg noodles come Passover. :)

Hineini - gluten-free Honey cake? I would love the recipe!

Here are all my posted recipes including the one for Honey Cake. Don't forget to review it on RecipeZaar if you end up making it!

I think the Honey Cake is by far the best gluten-free cake I've ever made, or at least a close runner-up to the yellow layer cake (recipe for that is also listed)

I know this is an old thread, but I just wanted to say I am so excited to look for those noodles, if they still have any in stock since it is after Passover. But one noodle I have found that really tastes like egg noodles are corn noodles by Cornito, a Hungarian company. I used these noodles to make a sweet noodle kugel last month and it came out pretty yummy!

I was given a Magic Bullet as a gift. I never thought I would use it. I did try it initially to make salsa. It just made mush! It does work wonders on flax seed to grind it to a powder. I have also used it on nuts like cashews and macadamias to make nut cheese.

foodiegurl, have you tried these noodles for other things? I'm thinking homemade chicken noodle soup, buttered noodles for a side dish, a spinach-noodle casserole, etc. Do they hold up? One time I made mac and cheese with corn macaroni and it was a gloppy disaster.

The last thing I want to do is have to order a case of anything as I live alone and certainly don't need those quantities and really don't have the storage space for them. I have not checked local stores to see what is available as I am newly gluten free.

I had used them as a side of buttered noodles when I made eggplant parmesan, and other dishes and it held up perfectly. And they are much cheaper than other gluten-free pastas: Open Original Shared Link

ps - I am in no way connected to the company or the store ;)

Thanks! If I can't find any locally, I may have to break down and order some. biggrin.gif

Hineini - gluten-free Honey cake? I would love the recipe!

I have had that and made something like it before.

It's sooooo tasty. I love near eastern cooking.

The Greeks have a similar kind of yoghurt-honey cake, made with farina, but here it's adapted for almond flour.

I've made it, it's very tasty and very moist and very, very rich.

Also from Recipe Zaar (I love that site):

This takes a bit of time to do, but the result is gorgeous!!

Thanks for posting the Hineini recipe. I will have to try that one.

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

      No coincidence. Recent revisions to gluten challenge guidelines call for the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for a minimum of 3 weeks. If possible, I would extend that two weeks to ensure valid testing.
    • SilkieFairy
      Thank you both for the replies. I decided to bring back gluten so I can do the blood test. Today is Day #2 of the Challenge. Yesterday I had about 3 slices of whole wheat bread and I woke up with urgent diarrhea this morning. It was orange, sandy and had the distinctive smell that I did not have when I was briefly gluten free. I don't know if it's a coincidence, but the brain fog is back and I feel very tired.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
