Missing Cookbook Support Group

Welcome everyone :P

Many of you have read my thread in "Coping With Celiac" that states that I can't find any of my cookbooks since I have moved.

I need a recipe please...I simply can't stand being without Carol Fenster's cookbook any longer.

Would someone mind posting her Pizza Crust recipe (the yeast free version) out of her Special Diet Solutions cookbook? I think I'm having withdrawal symptoms and need this pizza to survive.

Thank you so much! B) You guys are great!

-Julie

Since this is a Support Group: Hello, my name is Deb and I am a loser. ;)

I don't have a copy of the cookbook or receipe but I wanted to show my support in that I lose things all the time. The one item I lost that still breaks my heart is my husband's NAVY ring. So I understand your frustration at losing a box of stuff. I also lost a gift certificate about 10 years ago - I think I threw it away in error. Today I lost a piece of paper which had my storage unit security code on it. I found it as I discovered I had a hole in the lining of my new pocketbook. <_<

Many years ago I lost a slip - don't ask me how because it didn't leave my apartment. I think a friend of a family member stole it. But I digress: I lose things often and oftentimes find them maybe even years later. I am trying to come to grips with being such a "loser" and hope this support group has a 12 step program for me to improve myself. :D

Step 1: Admitting you have a problem

Hello, my name is Julie.

I'm a cookbook loser. I have recently destoyed perfectly harmless food because of my disorganization.

I need a support person for the times I am weak...Carol Fenster would do. I think her pizza recipe would help. ;)

Hello, My name is Janet and I am a loser . . .

And this is my standard way of losing something:

Hey this <fill in the blank> is really important. I would hate to lose it. I better put it in a safe place. . . never to be seen again.

Hi, my name is Kelly and I am a loser of the worst kind.

My hubby gave me $400 to hold on to until our credit card came (for something he charged). I put it in a TV guide...kind of as a book mark and set it on the counter in "my spot". Well fast forward 2 weeks and we are expecting company so I am tidying up and I THROW OUT THE TV GUIDE. I cried for days. I need help too.

I don't have the crust recipe...I probably had it at one time but lost it!

I hope this is it from Carole Fenster

1 tablespoon gluten-free dry yeast

2/3 cup brown rice flour or bean flour

1/2 cup tapioca flour

2 tablespoons dry milk powder or non-dairy milk powder*

2 teaspoons xanthan gum

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon unflavored gelatin powder

1 teaspoon Italian herb seasoning

2/3 cup warm water (105 degrees)

1/2 teaspoon sugar or 1/4 teaspoon honey

1 teaspoon olive oil

1 teaspoon cider vinegar

cooking spray

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

In medium bowl using regular beaters (not dough hooks), blend

the yeast, flours, dry milk powder, xanthan gum, salt, gelatin

powder, and Italian herb seasoning on low speed. Add warm water,

sugar (or honey), olive oil, and vinegar. Beat on high speed for

3 minutes. (If the mixer bounces around the bowl, the dough is

too stiff. Add water if necessary, one tablespoon at a time,

until dough does not resist beaters.) The dough will resemble soft

bread dough. (You may also mix in bread machine on dough

setting.)

Put mixture into 12-inch pizza pan or on baking sheet (for thin,

crispy crust), 11 x 7-inch pan (for deep dish version) that has

been coated with cooking spray. Liberally sprinkle rice flour

onto dough, then press dough into pan, continuing to sprinkle

dough with flour to prevent sticking to your hands. Make edges

thicker to contain the toppings.

Bake the pizza crust for 10 minutes. Remove from oven. Spread

pizza crust with your favorite sauce and toppings. Bake for

another 20-25 minutes or until top is nicely browned.

Preparation = 45 minutes. Serves 6.

Kelly, Janet, and everyone (HUG) :wub:

I, too, lose receipts, money, and gift cars (as if I have any money to waste).

Oh, and I also lose toenail clippers! (which gives my husband an excuse to blame his ugly feet on me!) <_<

Thank you so much for the recipe and recipe links! I need to pick up yeast and gelatin at the store. I did more unpacking today...still no cookbooks. :rolleyes:

Kelly,

I've got to say, for today, you are the biggest loser in the thread. :P You lost $400 dollars in a TV Guide? (sounds like the first line of a country song)

"I lost four hundred dollars in my TV Guide, but the trash was emptied when I went outside...la la la." :lol:

Take care everyone! Happy gluten-free cooking!

Hey, I just found a paycheck I never got cashed from my employer in 2005. I win.

I can almost top the $400 story. When I was going through a divorce (and living in a bad neighborhood) my mother thought it would cheer me up if she gave me a ring of hers I used to like as a kid - gold with a real peridot, a big one. She also gave me her original wedding ring, since she wore my dad's on a necklace and had a replacement one w diamonds.

I had no idea what to do with them, so I put them on a high shelf, and eventually put my and my hubby's rings with them. Finally, my ex was coming to get some things of his out of the house, when i wouldnt be there (there was a protective order, but i said it was ok). So i decided to hide all the rings, in an old purse, in the bottom of a messy closet.

Yeah, same sorta story, I cleaned up the closet without looking in the old purse, and months later realized what i'd done . .. painful but at least it wasnt cash i needed for a bill . .. but still kinda hurts to think about the things I threw out . . . .

Thanks for that Julie. I needed a pick-me-up today so I went back and read that...it just cracks me up! :P

I think I really like this club girls! Hugs to all! :wub:

I'm afraid I don't know what to blame it on! I'll have to find an excuse...

Extremely sidetracked maybe? Too much to do (being the woman in the house)? I just dunno what to blame it on!

Mine's hereditary. My great-grandmother used to hide things so the "Burglars" wouldn't get it. Then she wouldn't be able to find it later and assumed that the burglars did get it. My grandmother use to have to go and find her things for her (found her shoes in the dryer). One time, the burglars even stole her dentures!!!

:lol:

OMG, that sounds just like my grandmother! She's such a hoot. Before my grandfather passed away, he gave her a gun to protect herself from burglars. Well, she tried one night...and nearly shot my cousin! :P

Kelly,

Didn't I tell ya I write country songs? HA!!! ;) Actually, I just have a nack for rhyming.

Come on...give me any two words, I'll make up some kind of stupid one-liner about it. Talk about a totally useless talent! Well, I don't know, Dr. Seuss did pretty well for himself.

O.k. ladies, what can I blame my loser "status" on? I've got to think about this one. I'll get back with ya on this. :blink:

Totally random thought:

Perhaps I'm not a loser at all, maybe everyone I know has been stealing stuff from me...like cleptomaniacs (compulsive takers). Makes sense, who could possibly lose as much junk as I do? :rolleyes:

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      I'd go with a vodka tonic, but that's just me😉

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      Inconclusive results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
