Hey sweetie :)

O.k....call me a slacker, but I've never made anything with pum'kin before (well, besides the obvious jack-o-lantern for Halloween)

Anyway, enough history...now for my question: Where do I find pumpkins? (besides some random field). :rolleyes: I saw you wrote canned pumpkin? Is it near stuff like canned yams/sweet potatos?

I REALLY want to try this bread. I love zucchini bread, banana bread, carrot muffins...so why not pumpkin bread?

Hey, if you like zucchini (sp?) bread, I've got an EXCELLENT recipe. Not sure if I've posted it before or not, but I'll be glad to share if you're interested.

Enough said. Hope all is well; Blessings. B) -Julie

I used canned pumpkin all the time in cooking. I find it in the baking section of my grocery store, near the pie fillings. There is also canned pumpkin pie filling, which is different than just plain canned pumpkin. Get the regular canned pumpkin unless you're making something that called for the pie filling.

good luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you for the can-finding tips ladies! I never cooked much before my diagnosis. It's funny, when diagnosed with celiac, how quickly things change.

Short story: Two years BC (before celiac), I was asked to bring a vegetable to thanksgiving dinner. I asked mom if green beans were o.k....she said yes...and I showed up with them. I literally came to thanksgiving supper with a can of green beans. My mom looked at me, and then the beans, and then back at me. "Julie, you spent way to much time in college. Honey, did you consider opening the can before you brought it? Putting the beans in a bowl? Possibly heating it up? or adding salt and pepper or seasonings?"

Actually, I hadn't thought of any of that. "Well mom, I just figured that when I got to your house, I would open the beans, dump 'um in a bowl, and "nuke" 'um on high for a couple of minutes." :rolleyes: That, everyone, is my definition of "cooking" before celiac. (I think it is obvious now why I can't find the pumpkins).

Elena,

You said you used pumpkin often. Can I ask what dishes you put them in? Obviously, pumpkin pie, but I would love to know other uses! Thank you B)

Sarah,

Sure, I'll be glad to post that recipe! It's in one of my cookbooks by Carol Fenster.

Take care all! Happy baking! -Julie

Julie,

I love pumpkin, so I make a lot of stuff with it - pumpkin pie, pumpkin muffins, pumpkin pancakes, pumpkin smoothies, and recently I tried some pumpkin fluff thingies made with pudding mix and cool whip (which were wonderful until I realized the casein in the cool whip probably wasn't the best for me). Back when I ate ice cream, I would use the canned pumpkin pie mix as an ice cream topper... yum! I'm always on the lookout for new ways to use pumpkin. :)

There used to be a little homemade ice cream place near me that carried Pumpkin Custard Ice Cream. I used to go there and have them make a milkshake out of it for me, and it was the best thing ever! I haven't thought about that in years..... I think I'll have to break out that ice cream machine that I've never used, and start experimenting!

If you have a Jamba Juice near you, around October/November/December, they have a pumpkin smoothie. It tastes like pumpkin pie in a glass. :) Unfortunately, I think it is made with dairy, so it's out for me this year. But it's so easy to make yourself! The easy way would be to mix up pumpkin pie mix, ice, and your milk of choice in a blender. I tend to use straight pumpkin and add my own pumpkin pie spices and stevia for sweetener.

When using fresh pumpkin to make pies or bread you can find them at farmer's markets or in the fruit & veggie aisle. They are called cooking or baking pumpkins & usually are small. you just wash them off & put them in water & bring to a boil until you can pierce the shell with a fork. Cool , cut 7 scoop out the soft middle. It will make the best pie or bread you ever tasted...Very easy & the taste is soooo much better than canned.....We sometimes just make the filling as for pie & put it in a greased dish & bake. Just like pie without the crust......

Since I have diagnosed allergies (intolerances?) to dairy, soy, eggs, cane sugar, nutmeg and vanilla, I can't eat most commercially made ice creams. My favorite vegan ice cream recipe is pumpkin. It's easy to prepare with an ice cream maker. I'll post it here if anyone is interested ...

My vote is yes, burdee :P

Well, I've played around with pumpkin a lot, too, and came up with this ice cream. It's got a very rich, caramel-ly taste to it that blends nicely with the pumpkin. It's not vegan, but it is quick to put together (it tastes like it's a custard base ice cream, but not) and gluten free, for those who might like it:

Pumpkin Praline Ice Cream

(1) 14 oz. can sweetened condensed milk

1 1/2 cup half and half

1 1/2 cup whole milk

(1) 3.4 oz. package instant vanilla pudding (most are gluten free)

1/2 tsp. vanilla extract

1 tsp. pumpkin pie spice

(1) 15 oz. can pureed pumpkin or 2 cups fresh pureed pumpkin(canned pumpkin normally has a stronger flavor than fresh, and I like Libby's)

1 cup chopped pecan pralines (pre-made pralines are often gluten free)

In a large mixing bowl that can easily hold 8 cups, mix together the sweetened condensed milk, half and half, and whole milk, then add the instant pudding powder and whisk until well blended. Add the vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, and pureed pumpkin and whisk again until smooth. Pour ice cream base* into an ice cream maker and follow your manufacturer

Thank you, Juliet!

Burdee, I still wouldn't mind having the vegan recipe for pumpkin ice cream, as well.

I loooove pumpkin goodies!!!

Me, too! LOL At long last, here's my pumpkin 'vice' cream (vegan ice cream) recipe, adapted from the Pumpkin recipe from 'Vice Cream' by Jeff Rogers:

PUMPKIN VICE CREAM

(Makes one quart)

Combine in blender and blend on high until silky and smooth for at least one minute:

1 cup organic cashews (whole or pieces)

1-1/2 cups purified (filtered) water

1 cup maple syrup (preferably Grade A)

2 tablespoons alcohol-free vanilla flavor

1/4 teaspoon alcohol-free almond flavor

3 tablespoons grated fresh organic ginger

1-1/2 teaspoons ground nutmeg

1/2 teaspoon ground cloves

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground allspice

With motor running, add and blend until creamy:

1 cup cooked organic pumpkin or canned organic pumpkin puree

Place blender in freezer for 40 minutes to 1 hour or in refrigerator for at least 1 hour up to overnight, until well chilled. Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and freeze according to manufacturer's instructioins. Serve immediately or transfer to airtight containers. Store in freezer until ready to serve.

****************************************

You can alter (add or subtract) the spices and flavors according to your individual taste. I'm allergic to vanilla and nutmeg and my hubby is allergic to almonds. So we omit those and increase the cinnamon. You can also decrease the grated ginger if you prefer less spice. We love this flavor of vice cream, but have also tried many of the vice cream recipes in Jeff Rogers' book. If you are vegan or can't eat gluten, dairy, eggs, soy, cane sugar, you just need an ice cream maker and a few ingredients to make your own delicious frozen desserts!

Since we're sharing pumpkin recipes, here's one I've been wanting to try. I definitely will as soon as I can get a hold of a pumpkin :D

PUMPKIN SOUP IN ITS OWN SHELL

1 five lb. pumpkin (if smaller or larger, adjust the amount of liquid)

Cut a lid off the top, scoop out the seeds and stringy parts, and rub the inside flesh with salt. Set the pumpkin on a large roasting pan.

1 quart chicken or vegetable stock

1 quart milk or soy milk

Juliet Newbie

I will have to try that vegan ice cream recipe soon - it sounds delicious!

And I was planning on trying pumpkin soup soon, too, once the weather out her in SoCal drops down below 85 degrees (it was a hot one this weekend - had to stick with the cold recipes!)

sickchick Community Regular

THANK YOU !!! :):):)

imsohungry Collaborator

Everyone's recipes sound delicious! B)

Collette,

Can I substitute sugar in your recipe...in place of the honey?

If I can, does anyone know the substitute ratio?

I have high expectations for myself this week. I'm going to try to make yeast rolls, zucchini bread, pumpkin bread, and cheesecake.

Wish me luck with these stupid yeast rolls...I have no idea what I'm doing. I'm going to try to convert my mom's gluten yeast roll recipe to gluten-free. I may end up with yeast hockey-pucks. :rolleyes:

-Julie

Ridgewalker Contributor

Thank you, thank you!

My best friend has made this Pumpkin Cheesecake. Supposedly, it's the recipe that the Cheesecake Factory uses. I've had their Pumpkin Cheesecake once, and this recipe seems right on. The only ingredient that needs to be altered to make it gluten-free is the graham cracker crust. You could use gluten-free graham crackers. For the gluten-free cheesecakes I've made so far, I've used crushed Envirokids animal crackers. That worked well, just be careful not to add too much butter to the crust mixture, as it can get pasty. So here's my contribution:

The Cheesecake Factory Pumpkin Cheesecake

1 1/2 c. crushed graham crackers (gluten-free!)

5 Tbsp. butter, melted

1 c. plus 1 Tbsp. sugar

3 (8 oz. each) packages cream cheese

1 tsp. vanilla

1 c. pumpkin puree

3 eggs

1 tsp. cinnamon

1/4 tsp. nutmeg

1/4 tsp. allspice

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

2. Make the crust by combining the graham cracker crumbs with the melted butter and 1 Tbsp sugar in a medium bowl.

3. Stir well enough to coat all of the crumbs with the butter, but not so much as to turn the mixture into paste. Keep it crumbly.

4. Put foil partway up the outside part of an 8-inch springform pan.

5. Press the crumbs onto the bottom and about two-thirds of the way up the sides of the springform pan.

6. You don't want the crust to form all of the way up the back of each slice of cheesecake.

7. Bake the crust for 5 minutes, then set aside until you are ready to fill it.

8. In a large mixing bowl combine the cream cheese, 1 C sugar, and vanilla.

9. Mix with an electric mixer until smooth.

10. Add the pumpkin, eggs, cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice and continue beating until smooth and creamy.

11. Pour the filling into the pan.

12. Bake for 60-70 minutes

13. The top will turn a bit darker at this point.

14. Remove from the oven and allow the cheesecake to cool.

15. When the cheesecake has come to room temperature, put it into the refrigerator.

16. When the cheesecake has chilled, remove the pan sides and cut the cake into 8 equal pieces.

17. Serve with a generous portion of whipped cream on top.

She highly recommends letting it chill in the fridge for 24 hours before serving. It's awesome.

Pardon me for interrupting this pumpkin thread, but I didn't have any pumpkin in the house when I wanted to make Collette's recipe today. :lol: So I used what I had (canned pureed sweet potato), made other substitutions to accomodate our multiple allergy family and added some of my own creative ideas. The bread turned out delicious even with all those substitutions. Here's my recipe:

Apple Sweet Potato Bread

(2 loaves or 3 mini loaves)

Stir together:

1 cup bean flour

Ridgewalker Contributor

Ooh, apples and sweet potatoes sounds like a great combo.

I'm still somewhat new to baking with "alternative" ingredients though, so I have to ask... what is agave???

-Sarah

Also called 'agave nectar' this alternative (but NOT artificial) sweetner comes from agave plants (similar to cactus) in Mexico. Agave is sweeter than sugar, less viscous (sticky) than honey, but best of all low glycemic. I use agave instead of honey for cooking, because agave pours more easily and has a 'neutral' sweet flavor. See Open Original Shared Link for more info about a specific brand of agave.

      Welcome to the forum, @ellieb13! The third party commercial celiac test kits are reliable but suffer from the same shortcomings that the average physician ordered celiac testing does. Namely, the number and kinds of tests included is pretty limited, usually just one or two antibody tests as opposed to a complete panel. Some who do have celiac disease have immune systems that respond atypically to the usual tTG-IGA testing that most docs order and so are missed. If IGG antibody tests would have also been ordered they might have been detected.  I could be wrong but I think there is also the issue that sometimes those with dermatitis herpetiformis do not have enteric involvement and do not produce serum IGA antibodies of the kind the tests are looking for. These people can only be diagnosed by skin biopsy during a dermatitis herpetiformis outbreak. Perhaps another forum member with more knowledge in this area can check my thinking here. Don't misunderstand me, I'm not trying to discourage you from opting for the commercial third party do it yourself kit. If you can afford it, go for it! I'm just trying to help you understand the limitations of such testing, particularly in your situation.

      Hi, I've feel like I've hit a brick wall. I've had eczema as a child and have mostly grown out of it, with an occasional flare-up (once a year at most). However, this time around none of the usual tactics work. I use a soap substitute, use 100% cotton clothing, even changed my mattress. The topical steroid given by the doctor usually does the trick after a few days but everytime i stop, it returns quickly. This doesn't feel like eczema to me as it is on my back, buttocks, neck and elbow whereas all my other flare-ups have mainly been on the backs of my knees and inside of elbow. My Grandmother is being tested for celiac disease in the coming days due to her "eczema" not responding fo treatment also. There are some celiac in the family but not close (grandfather's sister). Is this a possibility? I'd love to hear your thoughts and experiences. I would like to add that it's incredibly hard to get a GP appointment at the moment too so would the online home testing kits be a reliable testing option, or just a quick buck scheme?   Many thanks 😊

      @Barcino, Yes, do try cutting out dairy.  About half of people with Celiac Disease react to the protein in dairy, Casein, the same as to gluten because of similar protein segments.  Others have Lactose intolerance because their damaged intestinal lining, the villi, are damaged and can't produce the enzyme lactase which breaks down the sugar in dairy, Lactose.   Also, cut out processed gluten free foods.  Many gluten free processed foods use corn.  Some people with celiac disease react to corn the same as to the protein gluten because of similar-to-gluten protein segments of maize, the protein in corn.   Processed foods containing corn may also utilize microbial transglutinaminase to bind corn proteins together to improve texture.  Microbial transglutaminase is also used in dairy products like yogurt and ice cream to bind dairy protein casein together to improve texture.  Microbial transglutinaminase is not required to be listed as an ingredient because it is an enzyme considered to be part of the manufacturing process.  The increasing usage over the past couple of decades of microbial transglutaminase to cross link gluten proteins together in wheat containing products is suspected to be a trigger of Celiac genes, hence the increased numbers of people being diagnosed with celiac disease recently. Do consider supplementing with Benfotiamine, a form of Thiamin Vitamin B One, that has been shown in scientific studies to promote intestinal healing.  It also helps acne along with Niacin Vitamin B 3.  Vitamin D helps lower inflammation, and Vitamin C helps rebuild and repair damage.    I've had great improvement following the Autoimmune Protocol diet.  The AIP diet has been scientifically shown to improve intestinal health, too.  Developed by Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, a Celiac for her Celiac children.  It really does work quickly to reduce inflammation.  Although terribly strict,  improvement happens within a few weeks.   Hope this helps.  Keep us posted on your progress!

      So glad @sh00148 that you now have a coeliac diagnosis for your daughter.   We really appreciate your update.  If we can help any further, do not hesitate to get in touch.
    • sh00148
      Morning All, Just an update, I got an urgent appointment through my contact with PALS. The doctor confirmed her levels were the highest possible so she likely had higher levels of inflammation. Since the appointment, they ordered a second set of bloods, but as many of you confirmed he felt there was no doubt she was coeliac so asked us to start gluten-free. Since starting around a month ago, we have had no vomiting and this is the first week that we haven’t had to give her movicol. She’s had a (currently) a two week break from winter colds which is unheard of for her as she used to have a permanent cold in the winter months. Her tummy is softer and deflating quite a lot and her faces looks a little rosier. It’s wonderful and although I know we will have tough times in the future and difficulties with eating out, I feel so happy that we can make her better.    Thanks all.
