Mystery Dinner Menu

My daughter is doing a murder mystery dinner for her 12th birthday. One of her friends has celiac and so I need to make sure everything is gluten free. My husband also has celiac so I know how to do this but I need some ideas on what food to serve. The mystery is set in victorian times and I would like to do a plated dinner that I will serve to them. Can anyone think of some menu ideas that would be easy to partially prepare ahead of time, yet kind of fancy yet, appealing to 12 year old girls? I will be doimg this for 8 girls. I would love to hear any suggestions. Nikkie

How about a Chicken and Rice Casserole (that can be made ahead of time), with a nice salad, garlic bread (for the others).

Ice Cream with chocolate sauce, with sprinkles.

Steaks, BPotato, salad

Chilli with gluten free cornbread

Chicken salad on lettuce leaf, marinated pea salad, fruit salad

You can make gluten free garlic bread, too. I invented this spread after looking at the ingredients on a commercial garlic bread spread. Just make your favorite gluten-free bread, then use this spread on it. It's really good!

1/2 c. Butter or Margarine

1/4 c. Parmesan cheese

1 tsp. Garlic powder

1/4 tsp. Onion powder

1/2 tsp. Italian Seasoning

1/4 tsp. salt

Combine all ingredients. Spread on slices of gluten free bread. (The website www.eatingglutenfree.com has a great recipe.) Place bread slices, butter side up, on a cookie sheet. Broil until browned, keeping a close eye on them so they don’t burn. (The edges will turn black before the middle is browned – but you can cut the crusts off later!) Remove from the oven and serve as a side dish.

For other meal ideas, a roasted chicken would have a Victorian feel. And you could do roasted potatoes (peel, quarter or cut in eighths, toss in olive oil and salt, then bake at 350 or 375 for an hour or so) and add other vegetables. Cream puffs are quite easy to make gluten free (Bette Hagman's Original Gluten Free Gourmet cookbook has a great recipe on page 111). Or you could make a homemade vanilla pudding or individual custards and drizzle chocolate across the top. (I personally don't think I'd do the custards . . . but that's cause it sounds like too much work!:)). If you want recipes for any of these, just PM me.

Have fun! I let my 7 year old have a "dinner Party" for her birthday. We did lasagna and salad and a gluten-free pumpkin roll for desert. All the kids had a great time, though I think they did more giggling than eating! Except for the pumpkin roll . .. THAT they inhaled like they'd never had dessert before in their lives!

I don't have any food ideas, but I just wanted to say that that sounds like a really fun birthday party!

hope she and all the girls have fun!

      I'd be very cautious about accepting these claims without robust evidence. The hypothesis requires a chain of biologically unlikely events: Gluten/gliadin survives the cow's rumen and entire digestive system intact. It is then absorbed whole into the cow's bloodstream. It bypasses the cow's immune system and liver. It is then secreted, still intact and immunogenic, into the milk. The cow's digestive system is designed to break down proteins, not transfer them whole into milk. This is not a recognized pathway in veterinary science. The provided backup shifts from cow's milk to human breastmilk, which is a classic bait-and-switch. While the transfer of food proteins in human breastmilk is a valid area of study, it doesn't validate the initial claim about commercial dairy. The use of a Dr. Osborne video is a major red flag. His entire platform is based on the idea that all grains are toxic, a view that far exceeds the established science on Celiac Disease and non-celiac gluten sensitivity. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, and a YouTube video from a known ideological source is not that evidence."

      Some backup to my statement about gluten and milk. Some background.  When my son was born in 1976 he was colicky from the beginning.  When he transitioned to formula it got really bad.  That's when we found the only pediactric gastroenterologist (in a population of 6 million that dealt with Celiac Disease (and he only had 14 patients with celiac disease), who dianosed by biopsy and started him on Nutramegen.  Recovery was quick. The portion of gluten that passes through to breastmilk is called gliadin. It is the component of gluten that causes celiac disease or gluten intolerance. What are the Effects of Gluten in Breastmilk? Gliaden, a component of gluten which is typically responsible for the intestinal reaction of gluten, DOES pass through breast milk.  This is because gliaden (as one of many food proteins) passes through the lining of your small intestine into your blood. Can gluten transmit through breast milk?

      I don't know of a connection. Lots of people who don't have celiac disease/gluten issues get shingles.

      I’m 43, just newly diagnosed with a horrible case of shingles last week . They are all over my face , around my eye, ear , all in my scalp. Lymph nodes are a mess. Ear is a mess. My eye is hurting and sensitive. Pain has been a 10/10+ daily. Taking Motrin and Tylenol around the clock. I AM MISERABLE. The pain is unrelenting. I just want to cry.   But Developing shingles has me a bit concerned about my immune system which also has me wondering about celiac and if there’s a connection to celiac / gluten and shingles; particularly since I haven't been 💯 gluten free because of all the confusing test results and doctors advice etc., is there a connection here? I’ve never had shingles and the gluten/ celiac  roller coaster has been ongoing for a while but I’ve had gluten off and on the last year bc of all the confusion

      There were some interesting talks, particularly Prof Ludvig Stollid's talk on therapeutics for coeliac disease.    https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLRcl2mPE0WdigRtJPvylUJbkCx263KF_t
