Im hoping to get some ideas

:)

My familys favorite would be Jenny-o italian meatballs, spaghetti sauce, kinnikinnick hot dog buns and mozzarella cheese.

I love it because it just takes a few minutes when Im in a hurry.

What is yours?

Bell and Evans Patties w/ spagetti sauce and shredded mozz for fake - and quick - chicken parm

(done in 25 min)

Chef Salad with Purdue Short Cuts

Homemade nachos - Tostitos gold (They don't get soggy), browned ground turkey w/ taco seasoning, black beans, chopped onion, shredded lettuce, diced tomato and LOTS of mexican flavored cheeses..............Layer.....cook for 8 min to melt the cheese down.

We have it down to a science --- I chop while hubby browns the meat ---- quick and always a good stand by when we're exhausted.

Turkey spinach burgers --- 8 minutes to broil ---- got this recipe from Racheal Ray.....don't remember exact amounts.

Tonight I made uncured beef hotdogs and Bush's baked beans.

Pasta with meat sauce is another quick meal.

Ian's fish sticks or chicken nuggets with some microwaveable potato wedges from Costco.

My family loves stir-fries for quick meals. We add some frozen shrimp and a bag of frozen veggies. When it's pretty much all cooked we add some red pepper flakes, some soy sauce, and some peanut butter. Sprinkle chopped nuts on top! Delish!

corn tortilla smeared with spaghetti sauce sprinkle with oregano, garlic powder and onion salt, top with cheese (add diced ham for a treat) and bake for 7-9 minutes in the oven (depends on how crispy you want it).

Yum thanks so much for the ideas :)

I had no idea there were fish sticks that were gluten free. My husband will love those.

I take bone and skin on whole chicken breasts, season with herbs or spice mix and roast. Add steamed veg and/or salad, pop some packaged fries in at the end or add cut potatoes and/or other root veg to the roasting pan. I roast one extra breast and save it for next day's salad lunch.

I work fairly long hours and my wife doesn't cook much so pretty much quick meals are all I eat during the week. Here are some staple foods for me:

* Bell and Evans grilled chicken - This is already cooked and ready to defrost

* Bell and Evans chicken burgers - I make these on the grill but are also fine when heated in an oven or toaster oven

* Dr. Praeger's gluten free fish sticks, fillets and fishies - These are delicious and much better than the Ian's fish sticks

* Applegate farms uncured turkey franks - pretty good tasting and very low fat

* Glutino Tuscan Chicken (and other frozen entries) - kind of small so you have to supplement with something else

* Kettle Cuisine Gluten Free Chicken Noodle soup -- really yummy and no MSG or other crap.

* Get Healthy America gluten free entries -- these are really great (especially the Chicken Cacciatore), but somewhat expensive (around $8) and possibly only available around Long Island, NY. Some of these contain corn and soy so you have to be cautious if those are a problem.

* Uncle Ben's Ready-Rice (Brown or White only) -- these are the only safe varieties

* Other plain pouches or frozen pre-cooked brown and jasmine rices (various brands)

* Frozen veggies of all kinds

It's also a good idea to cook up a batch of gluten free rice pasta, quinoa, brown rice or millet and have it as a leftover side dish for a few days.

Regards,

Ted

Nachos or to cos are always good. I buy the Foster Farms pre-cooked frozen chicken strips from Costco. We also do spaghetti with frozen Chebe bread sticks and salad. We also do Alfredo about once a week right now. It is delicious, simple, and so fattening!

Alfredo Sauce

Melt 1/4 cup butter in sauce pan

Add 1 cup half & half or cream and bring to a simmer

Add 1 1/2 cups shredded Parmesan cheese (I don't measure, add until you get the right texture. :rolleyes: )

Add in meat if desired.

Have tacos the first night, cooking enough meat so the next night you can have nachos. Use all the same toppings adding guacamole with the nachos.

Chilidogs without the bun or use leftover baked potatoes

Spaghetti with meatsauce instead of meatballs, veggies or salad

Chicken and rice stir fry using minute rice and frozen veggies

Enchiladas

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I had the same thing happen to me at around your age, and to this day it's the most painful experience I've ever had. For me it was the right side of my head, above my ear, running from my nerves in my neck. For years before my outbreak I felt a tingling sensation shooting along the exact nerves that ended up exactly where the shingles blisters appeared. I highly recommend the two shot shingles vaccine as soon as your turn 50--I did this because I started to get the same tingling sensations in the same area, and after the vaccines I've never felt that again.  As you likely know, shingles is caused by chicken pox, which was once though of as one of those harmless childhood viruses that everyone should catch in the wild--little did they know that it can stay in your nervous system for your entire life, and cause major issues as you age.

      Gluten free nuts

      By Clear2me · Posted

      Thanks for the info. I recently moved to CA from Wyoming and in that western region the Costco and Sam's /Walmart Brands have many nuts and more products that are labeled gluten free. I was told it's because those products are packaged and processed  in different  plants. Some plants can be labeled  gluten free because the plant does not also package gluten products and they know that for example the trucks, containers equipment are not used to handle wheat, barely or Rye. The Walmart butter in the western region says gluten free but not here. Most of The Kirkland and Members Mark brands in CA say they are from Vietnam. That's not the case in Wyoming and Colorado. I've spoken to customer service at the stores here in California. They were not helpful. I check labels every time I go to the store. The stores where I am are a Sh*tshow. The Magalopoly grocery chain Vons/Safeway/Albertsons, etc. are the same. Fishers and Planters brands no longer say gluten free. It could be regional. There are nuts with sugar coatings and fruit and nut mixes at the big chains that are labeled gluten free but I don't want the fruit or sugar.  It's so difficult I am considering moving again. I thought it would be easier to find safe food in a more populated area. It's actually worse.  I was undiagnosed for most of my life but not because I didn't try to figure it out. So I have had all the complications possible. I don't have any spare organs left.  No a little gluten will hurt you. The autoimmune process continues to destroy your organs though you may not feel it. If you are getting a little all the time and as much as we try we probably all are and so the damage is happening. Now the FDA has pretty much abandoned celiacs. There are no requirements for labeling for common allergens on medications. All the generic drugs made outside the US are not regulated for common allergens and the FDA is taking the last gluten free porcine Thyroid med, NP Thyroid, off the market in 2026. I was being glutened by a generic levothyroxin. The insurance wouldn't pay for the gluten free brand any longer because the FDA took them all off their approved formulary. So now I am paying $147 out of pocket for NP Thyroid but shortly I will have no safe choice. Other people with allergies should be aware that these foreign generic pharmaceutical producers are using ground shellfish shell as pill coatings and anti-desicants. The FDA knows this but  now just waits for consumers to complain or die. The take over of Wholefoods by Amazon destroyed a very reliable source of good high quality food for people with allergies and for people who wanted good reliably organic food. Bezos thought  he could make a fortune off people who were paying alot for organic and allergen free food by substituting cheap brands from Thailand. He didn't understand who the customers were who were willing to pay more for that food and why. I went from spending hundreds to nothing because Bezo removed every single trusted brand that I was buying. Now they are closing Whole foods stores across the country. In CA, Mill Valley store (closed July 2025) and the National Blvd. store in West Los Angeles (closed October 2025). The Cupertino store will close.  In recent years I have learned to be careful and trust no one. I have been deleberately glutened in a restaurant that was my favorite (a new employee). The Chef owner was not in the kitchen that night. I've had  a metal scouring pad cut up over my food.The chain offered gluten free dishes but it only takes one crazy who thinks you're a problem as a food fadist. Good thing I always look. Good thing they didn't do that to food going to a child with a busy mom.  I give big tips and apologize for having to ask in restaurants but mental illness seem to be rampant. I've learn the hard way.          I don't buy any processed food that doesn't say gluten free.  I am a life long Catholic. I worked for the Church while at college. I don't go to Church anymore because the men at the top decided Jesus is gluten. The special hosts are gluten less not gluten free. No I can't drink wine after people with gluten in their mouth and a variety of deadly germs. I have been abandoned and excluded by my Church/Family.  Having nearly died several times, safe food is paramount. If your immune system collapses as mine did, you get sepsis. It can kill you very quickly. I spent 5 days unconscious and had to have my appendix and gall bladder removed because they were necrotic. I was 25. They didn't figure out I had celiac till I was 53. No one will take the time to tell you what can happen when your immune system gets overwhelmed from its constant fighting the gluten and just stops. It is miserable that our food is processed so carelessly. Our food in many aspects is not safe. And the merging of all the grocery chains has made it far worse. Its a disaster. Krogers also recently purchased Vitacost where I was getting the products I could no longer get at Whole Foods. Kroger is eliminating those products from Vitacost just a Bezos did from WF. I am looking for reliable and certified sources for nuts. I have lived the worst consequences of the disease and being exposed unknowingly and maliciously. Once I was diagnosed I learned way more than anyone should have to about the food industry.  I don't do gray areas. And now I dont eat out except very rarely.  I have not eaten fast food for 30 years before the celiac diagnosis. Gluten aside..... It's not food and it's not safe.  No one has got our backs. Sharing safe food sources is one thing we can do to try to be safe.

      Thank you kindly for your response. I have since gotten the other type of bloods done and am awaiting results.
