My "compliment"

This week I have baked several gluten-free "specialty" items from scratch. I made banana nut bread on Monday and a coconut cake yesterday. Both tasted awesome!

My hubby gave me a "compliment" in the kitchen last night. While eating his cake, he looked over at me and said, "This is really good. Do you remember how everything you used to make tasted terrible? :huh: I'm glad you're getting used to baking without wheat flour because you were really making nasty stuff in the beginning." He continued, "But this isn't gross at all, it's really really good."

And then he cut himself a second slice. Now, I could have focused on the negative....but, I must confess that he is right. I have fed him some disgusting things while learning to cook gluten-free (Hence, his understandable aversion to my food). But, I am happy to say, he went back for "seconds" of cake.

That is compliment enough. ;)

A great feeling when what your cooking/baking doesn't look and taste like cardboard!!!

It was VERY hard not to laugh at him... what made it so funny was that he wasn't trying to be funny... he was just stating the facts.

One time last year he asked me bluntly if I was trying to kill him. He asked that I "please put the poison all in one meal for a quick death!" :huh: He wasn't being mean to me...I had just brought him a plate with a burnt porkchop and a pile of bright orange cornbread crumbles (I hid the burnt porkchop under the pile of ruined cornbread for a surprise). ;)

For nearly a year, my husband was my gluten-free guinea pig. Ain't life grand?! :P

God love that man! I've made corn bread crumbs myself, but you can't blame the pork chop on gluten. B)

What did you do to make the cornbread orange? I might want to use that on somebody I don't like someday. :lol::lol::lol:

LOL! That is too funny! :lol: Glad you have mastered the art (science?) of gluten-free baking! I remember when I made what was *supposed* to be shortbread cookies. They spread all out over the pan like a melted gooey pizza. I ate them with a spoon. :P

No, I can't blame the pork chop on gluten. ;) I blame it on ten years of college and no time (or desire) to cook. A word of advice: thin sliced chops don't need to be in the oven for an hour and a half on 375. :rolleyes:

I think the cornbread took on a yellow-orange "glow" because I used a lot of soy flour and the course milled cornmeal. All I know is that when I pulled it out of the oven, it hurt my eyes to look directly at it! :P

And Doll,

I've been there with the cookie thing too! The big question is...did your pizza cookie taste good? ;)

You remind me of something I told my hubby a long time ago during an Enjoli (sp?)perfume commercial. Remember the one with the woman in a slinky dress belting out "I can bring home the bacon, fry it up in a pan and never let you forget you're a man" while swinging her hips and a skillet around?

I told my hubby "Pick 2 out of 3"

:lol:

That is so funny!!! I remember that commercial, :P but the way you put it made it funnier than the commercial ever was! Thanks for the laugh!

I'm also laughing at the "glowing cornbread that makes your eyes hurt to look at it." Sounds like some of my cooking (I use the term loosely) LOL!!!!

Actually, I can think of a few people I would enjoy serving that cornbread to. ;)

      Blood results

      By Heatherisle · Posted

      Daughter has started gluten free diet this week as per gastroenterologists suggestion. However says she feels more tired and like she’s been hit by a train. I suggested it could be the change to gluten free or just stress from the endoscopy last week catching up with her. Just wondering if feeling more tired is a normal reaction at this stage. I suppose it’s possible some gluten might have been present without realising. Have tried to reassure her it’s not going to resolve symptoms overnight

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      By plumbago · Posted

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.
