I'm jumping in a little late on this thread, but....

Everything turned out really good except the gravy. I've NEVER been able to make gravy at all, so the fact that it actually turned out edible made me happy, but it was definitely weird.

I thickened with cornstarch, but it just didn't want to thicken, so I added more... and more... and more... It finally thickened, and tasted fine at dinner. But the next day when I got out the leftovers, it was like gravy jello. I thought, well it'll melt when I heat it up, BUT IT DIDN'T! :huh: It became hot gravy jello. Gross. So no leftover gravy...

Hey, I'm making my own Thanksgiving dinner today because I didn't get anything thanksgiving-y over the holiday because we only visited, I wasn't able to cook anything. So I'll let you guys know how much stuff I screw up! I already aced the pies and the sweet potatoes and mashed potatoes though, did those yesterday, so it can't be a total loss no matter what!

You know, many people, including myself, cook the turkey upside down for the first two hours then flip it. I brined the turkey, used a butter herb rub, filled the cavity with apples and herbs, and cooked the turkey using the above method and it turned out wonderful! You were a gourmet and did not even know it! :D

I will definately try the upside down turkey thing next time but can somebody tell me how to make graham cracker crust....I can't find any gluten-free graham crackers......still fairly new to this so maybe just not looking in the right places.

Try Mi-Del ginger snaps or arrowroot cookies. Mi-del's cookies are hard already, so they make good crumbs.

      Gluten related ??

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi everyone  This has been a crazy year so far... How many people actually get entire sensory overload from gluten or something similar ?  My jaw is going nuts ..and that nerve is affecting my upper back and so on ...  Bones even hurt.  Brain fog. Etc  I had eggs seemed fine.   Then my aid cooked a chicken stir fry in the microwave because my food order shorted a couple key items .   I was so hungry but I noticed light breading and some ingredients with SOY !!! Why are we suffering with soy ? This triggered a sensitivity to bananas and gluten-free yogurt it seems like it's a cycle that it goes on.  The tiniest amount of something gets me I'm guessing the tiny bit of breading that I took one tiny nibble of ...yikes ..im cringing from it .. Feels like my stomach is going to explode yet still very hungry 😔  How long does this last?! Thank you so much

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.

      Is this celiac?

      By Beverage · Posted

      Exactly which blood tests were done? There are a few different ones and some docs don't do them all. Also, your results and reference ranges for each?
