We are having a work brunch Christmas get together on a Thursday. Bring a gift, get a gift sort of thing and so everything listed I can not eat with the exception of the fruit. I want to make something quick and easy to make and take the morning of so I can eat things other than fruit. I am up at 7, to work by 8:30 and our brunch is at 10:00. Any ideas?????? <_<

Thank you in advance.

I like to keep hardboiled eggs in the fridge. A couple of those peeled and sliced in a container would be good. Excellent source of protein as well! Can you do dairy? Cottage cheese with fruit, yogurt with fruit, etc. There are also frozen gluten-free waffles, Vans, I believe. I bought some that were berry waffles and I had my non-celiac friends salivating at the smell of them. They are so yummy, even without syrup.

I dislike work-related functions that center around food. I always feel like the discussion ends up being about my food and celiac.

Make some homemade cinnamon rolls

Bring Bacon

Fruit Salad's always go over well.

or Ambrosia Salad

Maybe a crustless quiche. I really like them and you could make it the night before. It is not too difficult to make the morning of the event.

I have also seen a recipe using hashbrowns for a crust, but that would make it a little more time consuming to make.

I make the hashbrowned crusted quiche all the time, use frozen hashbrowns. I bake smaller versions in 2 cup ramikins and refrigerate--they heat up really well!! (just microwave for a bit) and are great for those who want/need portion control.

I do the quiche:

Frozen hashbrowns

gluten-free sausage links(8)

eggs

milk

chedder cheese

On bottom of 8x8 place hashbrowns(just enough to cover bottom..more if you like)

Cook sausage links in micro, then cut into pieces and place on top of hashbrowns

in mixer mix 6 egss, 1 C milk, 1/4 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper, 1 TBLsp dried parsley flakes..mix well and pour on top of sausage and hashbrowns

Top with shredded mild chedder

Bake at 350 for 45-55 min...watch for cheese to get bubbly

You cna make this the night before it heats up well!

My fave is the breakfast scramble. do this the night before, then the morning of, you heat it in the microwave, and take to work in a crock pot:

Scramble about a dozen eggs, with salt and pepper to taste (I also add chives to mine)

Toast some tater tots in the oven (or hash browns, if you rather)

cook some sausages (or turkey bacon, or cubed ham)

toss together. Sprinkle cheese over top, heat until cheese melts. Serve. Accept raves.

My kids like it so much, they're requesting it for Christmas brunch.

Thank you for your ideas. I have never made quiche before but there is always a first time. If it turns out well I may make it for Christmas for the family. Kids are always up for food. Thanks again!

I am eyeing up the quinche too. It looks like something I might think about sharing at our next work breakfast.

I just made one for a ladies brunch the other day...

8 eggs

1/2 cup sour cream

1 cup shredded monterey jack cheese

1/3 cup salsa

mix REALLY well. Pour in a greased 8" dish or pie plate - bake 25-30 minutes until set and puffed.

MMMMM....now I want more!

I also made gluten free donut holes. I know it's too late for tomorrow, but I can post the recipe for anyone who would like it.

      I realized it is actually important to get an official diagnosis because then insurance can cover bone density testing and other lab work to see if any further damage has been done because of it. Also, if hospitalized for whatever reason, I have the right to gluten-free food if I am officially celiac. I guess it gives me some legal protections. Plus, I have 4 kids, and I really want to know. If I really do have it then they may have increased risk.

      Been off this forum for years. Is it that important that you get an official diagnosis of something? It appears like you had a trigger (wheat, gluten, whatever) and removing it has resolved your symptom. I can't speak for you, but I had known what my trigger was (gluten) years before my diagnosis I would just stay gluten-free and get on with my symptom free condition. I was diagnosed over 20 years ago and have been symptom free only excluding wheat, rye and barley. I tolerate all naturally gluten free whole foods including things like beans which actually helps to form the stools.

      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.

      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/
