I can't believe Easter is 2 weeks away!

I usually do brunch, but am always looking for new recipes and ideas.

Anyone want to share what they will be making, or any interesting recipes to post??

Julie, how about Ambrosia? (southern through and through)

Peeled and cut up oranges (the sweeter the better)

Canned pineapple with juice

Graded coconut.

Mix all together.

I was just thinking today that I need to start planning. In the past I have made a side of salmon with a lemony, herb marinade and steamed small carrots and asparagus tossed in a light maple syrup butter. We have ham at Xmas. Once a year is enough for us. I like to use at least one seasonal ingedient. I have a rhubarb crumb cake recipe that I want to try for spring and have been playing around with the idea of making mini lemon meringe pies in my mini muffin tin.

My mom always has brunch but this is what I am bringing for myself! You can make the with or without cheese. This is how I used to make it... I don't do cheese and I cut the (rice or almond is what I use)milk in half with organic veggy broth. Also, you could do sage sausage or ham?

Crab Breakfast Strata

7 slices your favorite gluten-free bread (I use that rock hard premade stuff Energ-G white rice loaf, it makes really great cubes without crumbling and bakes very well)

1-1/2 cup grated Grueyre cheese

3/4 c Chevre (goat cheese) in small chunks

1/2 cup leeks, sliced (cleaned well of sand)

1/4 cup diced red bellpepper

1 can artichoke hearts, in brine, in quarters (drained well)

1/3 cup chopped red onion

8 ounces fresh crabmeat

5 large eggs

2-1/2 cups milk

1 tb dijon mustard

salt & pepper

Butter an 8 x 12-inch glass baking dish.

Cut bread into 1"cubes and layer across the bottom of baking dish.

In a large bowl mix together milk and eggs and dijon mustard until blended. Set aside.

Spoon Chevre & half the Grueyre, crabmeat, red onion, red bellpepper, artichoke hearts and leeks over the layer of bread cubes. Add remaining bread cubes.

Pour egg/milk mixture evenly over bread & crabmeat mixture gently. Crumble remaining Grueyre on top. Salt & pepper a little.

Cover with plastic or aluminum wrap; refrigerate overnight. Remove the next day and preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Bake 45 min to 1 hour or a little more until a knife inserted in center comes out clean.

This is great for brunch or breakfast... served with a bowl of fresh fruit

see below lol

Drunken Starfruit Salad: (after enough mimosas it won't matter anyways ;)

3 Starfruit cut up

1/2 cup red Grapes

1/2 cup green Grapes

1/2 cup Orange sections

2 shots Grand Marnier

Splash of Champagne

Enjoy your Easter Julie! B)

This sounds so good, and refreshing. If I do my orange muffins with orange butter again this would be a great dish to have alongside that.

Thanks Momma Goose for sharing the recipe :)

I like to use at least one seasonal ingedient. I have a rhubarb crumb cake recipe that I want to try for spring and have been playing around with the idea of making mini lemon meringe pies in my mini muffin tin.

I like to do a few seasonal ingredients too, usually a glazed carrot and/or asparagus are on my menu.....or a big salad with lots of different vegetables, peas and pearl onions, marinated tomatoes, something like that.

We are the opposite, we have ham for Easter instead of Christmas :lol: and in the past I have served a potato cassarole or all different varieties of mini frittatas and roasted herbed new potatoes. I've done omelets but that was kind of hard for a crowd so I like the prepare ahead casserole or the frittatas.

Sometimes I make homemade herbed sausage patties to serve along with the ham, these are great because you can make them a week ahead and freeze them, then just thaw and warm up before you eat.

Then of course there's the bake goodies, in the past I have done cinnamon rolls, coffee cake, orange muffins. :)

But I am always looking for different ideas and recipes!

The Crab Strata sounds so yummy, that would go over big with my family and it looks like it can be modified however you want it.

Thanks for sharing your recipes and enjoy your Easter brunch at your mom's

The frittatas are definitely yummy, and the orange muffins so easy I just used a Namaste Muffin Mix.

I have a question about your Crab Stata Collette, what could I sub for the chevre cheese? A couple of the guests don't like goat cheese.

You could do something ultra creamy like Philadelphia Cream Cheese? That's gluten free right? :)

That pumpkin bread I posted the other day. I will be making that as muffins and the berry cream cheese 'cake' instead of regular coffee cake or monkey bread (recipe's on here somewhere), fruit salad and the hashbrown casserole with some sort of fancy sausage. I like stuff I can make the day before-too hectic trying to get us all ready for Easter Mass!! :D

      Ibuprofen

      By cristiana · Posted

      @Colleen H   I am just curious,  when you were tested for coeliac disease, did the doctors find out if you had any deficiencies? Sometimes muscle pain can be caused by certain deficiencies, for example, magnesium, vitamin D, calcium, and potassium.   Might be worth looking into having some more tests.  Pins and needles can be neuropathy, again caused by deficiencies, such as iron and B12,  which can be reversed if these deficiencies are addressed. In the UK where I live we are usually only tested for iron, B12 and vitamin D deficiencies at diagnosis.   I was very iron anemic and supplementation made a big difference.  B12 was low normal, but in other countries the UK's low normal would be considered a deficiency.  My vitamin D was low normal, and I've been supplementing ever since (when I remember to take it!) My pins and needles definitely started to improve when my known deficiencies were addressed.  My nutritionist also gave me a broad spectrum supplement which really helped, because I suspect I wasn't just deficient in what I mention above but in many other vitamins and minerals.  But a word of warning, don't take iron unless blood tests reveal you actually need it, and if you are taking it your levels must be regularly monitored because too much can make you ill.  (And if you are currently taking iron, that might actually be making your stomach sore - it did mine, so my GP changed my iron supplementation to a gentler form, ferrous gluconate). Lastly, have you been trying to take anything to lessen the pain in your gut?  I get a sore stomach periodically, usually when I've had too much rich food, or when I have had to take an aspirin or certain antibiotics, or after glutening.  When this happens, I take for just a few days a small daily dose of OTC omeprazole.  I also follow a reflux or gastritis diet. There are lots online but the common denominators to these diets is you need to cut out caffeine, alcohol, rich, spicy, acidic food etc and eat small regularly spaced meals.   When I get a sore stomach, I also find it helpful to drink lots of water.  I also find hot water with a few slices of ginger very soothing to sip, or camomile tea.  A wedge pillow at night is good for reflux. Also,  best not to eat a meal 2-3 hours before going to bed. If the stomach pain is getting worse, though, it would be wise to see the doctor again. I hope some of this helps. Cristiana

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      By Me,Sue · Posted

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed that I feel nauseous after possibly being glutened. I think the thing that I have got better at is knowing what to do when I feel wiped out after a gluten 'episode'. I drink loads of water, and have just started drinking peppermint tea. I also have rehydration powders to drink. I don't feel like eating much, but eventually feel like I need to eat. Gluten free flapjacks, or gluten free cereal, or a small gluten free kids meal are my go to. I am retired, so luckily I can rest, sometimes even going to bed when nothing else works. So I feel that I am getting better at knowing how to try and get back on track. I am also trying to stick to a simpler menu and eat mostly at home so that I can be more confident about what I am eating. THANKS TO THOSE WHO REPLIED ABOUT THE NAUSEA .

      The Happy Tart review

      By Francis M · Posted

      Thanks. Since the back and forth and promises of review and general stalling went on for more than six months, the credit company will no longer investigate. They have a cutoff of maybe six months.

      The Happy Tart review

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Is this the same restaurant? https://www.facebook.com/TheHappyTartFallsChurch/ Is it too late to take this up with your credit card company? Normally you have a few months to do a chargeback with them. It seems very odd that they are taking this approach with someone who is likely to be a regular customer--not a good business-minded way of handling things!

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.
