I've seen this link once or twice on the forum already, but I decided it deserves a thread of its own because it just rocks that much!

This woman's 2008 New Year's resolution was to use the CrockPot every single day for a year, no repeats-- and her family is gluten-free! She does a lot of experimental stuff, and I've found tons of thing I want to try already. She also has a great sense of humor in her writing. :lol:

A new gluten-free CrockPot recipe every single day?! It's my personal dream come true.

Rissa, you're welcome! I actually was just looking at your blog yesterday, which I love already. :D I bet you'll love the CrockPot Lady!

PS- I've been meaning to write you back and say-- Thanks for sending me the Peanut Satay recipe!!!

Thanks for starting this again. I just added her to my favorites. I just love reading the recipes!

Wow! Thanks!

Thanks for the complement about the blog! I am excited about it this week 'cause I have 2 excuses to make fancy birthday cakes. I'm going to add photos and recipes for them after I bake them. Let me know when you try the Satay sauce, I was really happy with it and particularly on the bean thread noodles. I didn't add any additional spicy stuff to it, but my hubby added a lot of ground red pepper to his and he said it was good that way...just in case you like it hot!

I'm going to have to get the crock pot out and try a few meals in it in the next few weeks. I sort of forget about it in the summer and use it a lot in the winter!

Me too, she is really phunny! :P

I actually like to use the crockpot even more in the summer, because it doesn't heat up the whole kitchen like the oven does, AND I'm usually a lot busier in the summer.

Ridgewalker Contributor

Have you guys seen todays recipe???? Broccoli and 3 Cheese Soup, and just the picture is making me drool!

Darn210 Enthusiast

I'm making one of her recipes for tonight . . . Cream Cheese Chicken (May 23rd Recipe). I think it looks fabulous!! The kids will probably turn their noses up at it because they've never "seen" it before. Might have a chance since there are no visible vegetables. :lol:

definitely agree with you on this one too! so much nicer. my mother in law and i were just talking about how you can make baked potatoes in the crock (she didn't believe it could be done, i showed her this blog). some great ideas for cool kitchens!!

WOW! I got a Crockpot for Christmas and love it but I typically only use it in the fall and winter because I associate it with heavy, warm, winter meals, but not any longer. I can't wait to try several of these recipes!

Whole chicken doesn't work so well. It cooks fine, but it's totally pale, and mine didn't have the infusion of flavor I was hoping for. I did cook it on high, so maybe a longer, slower cook would work better.

Jenny (AZ via TX) Enthusiast

I'm in! Anything I can do easily and don't have to think about too much is great. I can't believe anyone could think to do this. My husband will also be happy that I am cooking again.

Thanks!

      @Ginger38, Diabetes and Celiac often go hand in hand.  Having more than one autoimmune disease is common with Celiac.  I'd err on the side of caution and go gluten free.   I did not want to go on insulin, either.  I got my diabetes under control by following the low histamine version of the Autoimmune Protocol Diet (Dr. Sarah Ballantyne).  My diet now does include carbs.   We're supporting you through this difficult time.

      @Ginger38,  I've been there with horrible symptoms and diarrhea accidents and diabetes and the insulin conundrum!  My doctors were just as frustrating!   I had nutritional deficiencies.  I know your doctors refuse to test for this.  So did mine, saying "I can't make money prescribing vitamins."  Some members say a naturopathic doctor is more open to testing for deficiencies.  Remember not to start supplementing until after testing is done.  Otherwise the supplements will raise your blood levels falsely.   I had studied Nutrition at university, so I decided to supplement essential vitamins and minerals.  A B Complex, extra Thiamine (Benfotiamine) for the diabetes, magnesium and Vitamin D are the supplements I started with.   The B vitamins are water soluble so any excess is excreted easily.  Thiamine even in high doses is safe and nontoxic.  Diabetics lose more thiamine in urine because of weird kidney stuff.   I wanted to get my blood glucose levels under control because gluten free foods made my level spike for long periods, too.  I absolutely did not want to go on insulin.  Once you do, the pancreas stops making it.  Very scary.  Best to help the pancreas function with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine. I began the low histamine version of the Autoimmune Protocol Diet (developed by Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, A Celiac herself).  It's a low carb, very strict diet at first, then expanded.  I considered it similar to feeding a sick baby.  You don't give hard to digest foods to a baby.  You give easily digestible foods.  This allows time for the gastrointestinal tract to calm down and heal.  Symptoms started to calm down quickly.  With the vitamins, I started feeling much better.  My blood glucose levels stabilized.  I did not go on insulin.  I do not take anti-glycemic pharmaceutical drugs like Metformin.  Just diet.  You're making the right decision to live as a Celiac.  Your body is telling you clearly.  You can get through this.  You're strong and you're fighting for yourself and your baby.  Good job!  You have the Tribe behind you!

      Though trying to diligently eat gluten free, recent bloodwork was bad so searching for culprits.  Eat lot of (preferably mixed) nuts.  Most allergen labels say may be processed on equpment that also processes wheat, etc.  Finally found ONE kind (unsalted mixed) at BJ's.  Wessley (their store brand) that did not contain that warning.  Says in large letters "A GLUTEN FREE FOOD."  Well, all nuts are a gluten free FOOD!  Have been eating and now wonder if this is intentionally decieving.  So stopped eating until find culprit.  Nuts are so good for protein and fiber (especially if trying to not eat meat).  'Tis so frustrating.  Thanks to above, I'll look into Tierra Farms.

      Fascinating! This was very helpful, thanks for sharing

      Despite being very diligent about eating gluten free, my recent bloodwork was bad.  So been on a mission to find the culprit(s).  During Covid my daughter found "certified gluten free" Yasso mint chocolate chip yogurt bars at Costco.  I was elated and have been eating them since.  When delving into possible culprits I discovered that the boxes with 12 bars at both Costco and BJ's no longer say "certified gluten free."  But the boxes with 4 bars at groceries and Target still say "certified gluten free."  Contacted the manufacturer and was told to go by what the box says.  So guess different machinery is used.  Was also told they were in the process of changing boxes.  Will be interesting to see what that brings.
