A Few Good Recipes

Ok mac&cheese.

I use:

1 bag Tinkyada pasta shells

1 big huge pile of shredded cheese (mozz doesn't work well for this, unless it's fresh mozz in slices under the other cheese)

1/2 stick butter

diced onions if you want

enough milk to fill a 12x10 casserole halfway (maybe a quart, it's ok to use a little water to fill in)

Preheat oven to 375.

Pour dry Tinkyada pasta into pan, melt butter, stir into noodles. This is where you would add any seasonings you want, garlic, pepper, whatever. Stir good & flatten the noodles in a smooth layer. Then the shredded cheese goes on top, sorry I don't measure, but it needs to completely cover the noodles fairly thick, maybe 1/4 inch deep. No noodles showing. Do not stir. If you want a creamier end result, try slices of fresh mozz under the other shredded cheese, that's my favorite. If you use all cheddar and romano, say, or some provolone, the end result will be chewier. Just don't put mozz in any form on top or it will get way too dark too fast and be very chewy. My boyfriend loves it that way, but I like it creamy. It's yummy with diced onions mixed into the dry noodles too, I tried that last time. Next time I'll try browned ground beef.

Pour milk over all until you can just see it at the edges, not above the noodles but not too much below the noodles level either. Bake at 375 for 45 min-hour, depending on your oven and how brown you like the top. My noodles are done at 45 min in my oven, but it's a piece of crap, so don't take that to heart. It should be golden on top, when it starts to get too brown take it out and test it, when you go to scoop some out, there should be no loose fluid, there may be some grease from the cheese but no dripping milk.

Sorry this is so imprecise, but I swear it's fabulous. And it's really easy, I get my boyfriend to shred all the cheese for me! We buy big blocks of Land'o lakes. You could always buy it preshredded. My fave combo is mostly cheddar, a cup or two of romano, and soft mozz slices underneath.

And then I made SERIOUSLY awesome banana bread last night, here goes. Makes 2 loaves.

1 cup sorghum flour

1 cup arrowroot starch

1 cup buckwheat flour (or quinoa flakes)

1 tsp salt

1 1/2 Tbsp baking powder

2 tsp baking soda

1 1/2 tsps xanthan gum

6 eggs

6 very ripe bananas, I freeze mine and thaw, they're sweeter

1/2 cup honey, more if you like it sweeter

Preheat oven to 375.

Mix all wet & dry separately, then together. Mix very well, has a tendency to clump because of the buckwheat. I just realized I'm not sure how long it took to bake.... I think maybe 35 min? I dunno, it won't give in the middle when it's done. Use the fork test.

This was SO GOOD. Especially toasted, it even has that slightly gooey bit at the very top-center like a normal banana bread. I also put chocolate chips in one loaf, WHOO boy! Now THAT'S dessert.

I think you could take this recipe and use applesauce intead of bananas, cut the baking powder & soda, and make blondies out of it. What do you think? It was very dense, but still rose quite nicely. It was an honest loaf of bread. You guys are so gonna like this......

Hey, that one was dairy free!

I can't believe I missed these! I was waiting for you to post your recipes and gearing up for some serious chastising because I hadn't seen them yet.

I like the dry start mac 'n' cheese. I hate planning ahead.

I know, I'm such a bum.

Here's what I had for dinner:

One pound beef browned in big pot

One bag frozen corn

One bag frozen peas

One big can diced tomatos

Some hot water for juice

Cumin, garlic, pepper, red pepper, salt, basil

Heat through! Now there's some easy dinner. I like to top with parmesan.

I also made kasha porridge with pecans mixed in for breakfast tomorrow.

You could probably use pectin, flaxseed, and applesauce to make the banana bread. If you use quinoa flakes instead of buckwheat flour it will be lighter and hold together better for an egg-free version.

Update: Mac & cheese works AWESOME with a pound of browned ground beef mixed into the dry noodles. Needs a bit more milk, oddly, the meat soaks it up a bit.

Thanks for posting. I love, love mac n cheese. I'm going to try this. By the way your directions on the milk made me laugh. "not above the noodles but not too much below the noodles level either". I'll do my best on this. No measurements? How do you know how to do this. Wish me luck.

I just saw the banana nut recipe. Looks good, but I have to go get a few more ingredients that I haven't tried yet. Thanks for the heads up.

Thanks for the bannana bread recipe.

I'm staying with my partner's family this christmas, and have only recently been diagnosed... poor things are already worrying about how to feed me. It will be wonderful to turn up with a big treat for us all, and one that tastes fantastic too. More recipes please!

Thank you for the great mac & cheese recipe. You had posted it another thread & your easy directions made me remember it by heart. I made it and really liked it! haven't had that dish in a long time. Sorry I didn't respond before.

For you no dairy folks, me too!! I used chicken broth instead of milk, m-m-m!!

Really? What did you put on top instead of cheese, may I ask??? (Got my attention with that one) :o

Jenny, I usually flatten the noodle layer first, then the cheese blah blah and when I pour in the milk, I do it ALMOST even with the top of the noodles. I didn't explain that very well, did I? Sorry, I'm a bit all over the place with food. It always comes out yummo though.

What I had for dinner last night:

Turkey loaf

1 lb ground turkey

1 lb container cottage cheese

1 egg

Crapload of spices

Slices of provolone

Mix first four ingredients together VERY well (I like garlic powder, salt, lemon pepper, cumin, and basil). Put in loaf pan. Bake at 350 for 45 min or safe temp with thermometer. Take out. Put provolone cheese slices on top. Salivate while they melt. Eat. Goes very well with baked sweet potatoes, which I put in the oven some time before the turkey loaf so they'd cook through, always takes longer than 45 min for those babies.

Note: This loaf makes LOTS of juice, for which I have not yet thought of a use. Ideas? If you let it sit for a while, it sucks the juice back up and gets kinda soggy though.

To answer your question, I made it the first time according to a recipe and promptly threw the recipe out and now no longer have measurements in my head, I just know how it should look. It's been so long I have no idea where I got the original, maybe Allrecipes?

(I do measure bakery stuff though!)

Angle, I'm still hoping to find out what you did to make this recipe dairy free!

i've been making my mac & cheese in the crockpot but it's so time intensive (about 3 hours) so i've been wanting to try an oven baked recipe! yay! and i love that it starts with dry, uncooked macaroni.

but i have a question...what kind of pan/dish do you cook this in? I'm thinking a rectangle glass dish, like a pyrex? back in the day, i used to make my gluteney mac & cheese in a glass cooking bowl but i'm not sure if that would work with your milk technique! :lol:

I have an old ceramic/iron casserole dish that I think is 9 by 13. It fits perfect. I don't have the dish right now so I will get back to you. I don't have a pyrex big enough or I would use one, you could always reduce the amounts of everything though.

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      @catnapt, Wheat germ has very little gluten in it. Gluten is the carbohydrate storage protein, what the flour is made from, the fluffy part. Just like with beans, there's the baby plant that will germinate ("germ"-inate) if sprouted, and the bean part is the carbohydrate storage protein.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      Hello, @asaT, I'm curious to know whether you are taking other B vitamins like Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3. Malabsorption in Celiac disease affects all the water soluble B vitamins and Vitamin C. Thiamine and Niacin are required to produce energy for all the homocysteine lowering reactions provided by Folate, Cobalamine and Pyridoxine. Weight...

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Hi Jane: You may want to try the D3 I now take. I have reactions to fillers and many additives. Sports Research, it is based in the USA and I have had no bad reactions with this brand. The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free. I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree...

      Raising you vitamin D will increase absorption of calcium automatically without supplementation of calcium.  A high PTH can be caused by low D causing poor calcium absorption; not insuffient calcium intake.  With low D your body is not absorbing calcium from your food so it steals it from your bones.  Heart has priority over bone. I've been taking 10,000 IU D3 a day since 2015.  My doctor says to continue. To fix my lactose intolerance, lots of lactobacillus from yogurts, and brine fermented pickles and saurkraut and olives.  We lose much of our ability to make lactase endogenosly with maturity but a healthy colony of lactobacillus in our gut excretes lactase in exchange for room and board. The milk protein in grass fed milk does not bother me. It tastes like the milk I grew up on.  If I drink commercial milk I get heartburn at night. Some experts estimate that 90% of us do not eat Adequite Intake of choline.  Beef and eggs are the principle source. Iodine deficiency is a growing concern.  I take 600 mcg a day of Liquid Iodine.  It and NAC have accelerated my healing all over.  Virtually blind in my right eye after starting antihypertensive medication and vision is slowly coming back.  I had to cut out starches because they drove my glucose up into the 200+ range.  I replaced them with Red Bull for the glucose intake with the vitamins, minerals and Taurine needed to process through the mitochodria Krebs Cycle to create ATP.  Went from A1c 13 down to 7.9.  Work in progress. Also take B1,B2,B3,B5,B6. Liquid Iodine, Phosphatidyl Choline, Q10, Selenium, D and DHEA.     Choline supplemented as phosphatidylcholine decreases fasting and postmethionine-loading plasma homocysteine concentrations in healthy men +

Luckily you still have time to do a proper gluten challenge (10 grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks) before your next appointment when you can be retested.

      Hello, @asaT, I'm curious to know whether you are taking other B vitamins like Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3.  Malabsorption in Celiac disease affects all the water soluble B vitamins and Vitamin C.  Thiamine and Niacin are required to produce energy for all the homocysteine lowering reactions provided by Folate, Cobalamine and Pyridoxine.   Weight gain with a voracious appetite is something I experienced while malnourished.  It's symptomatic of Thiamine B1 deficiency.   Conversely, some people with thiamine deficiency lose their appetite altogether, and suffer from anorexia.  At different periods on my lifelong journey, I suffered this, too.   When the body doesn't have sufficient thiamine to turn food, especially carbohydrates, into energy (for growth and repair), the body rations what little thiamine it has available, and turns the carbs into fat, and stores it mostly in the abdomen.  Consuming a high carbohydrate diet requires additional thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  Simple carbohydrates (sugar, white rice, etc.) don't contain thiamine, so the body easily depletes its stores of Thiamine processing the carbs into fat.  The digestive system communicates with the brain to keep eating in order to consume more thiamine and other nutrients it's not absorbing.   One can have a subclinical thiamine insufficiency for years.  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so the symptoms can wax and wane mysteriously.  Symptoms of Thiamine insufficiency include stunted growth, chronic fatigue, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi (diarrhea, abdominal pain), heart attack, Alzheimer's, stroke, and cancer.   Thiamine improves bone turnover.  Thiamine insufficiency can also affect the thyroid.  The thyroid is important in bone metabolism.  The thyroid also influences hormones, like estrogen and progesterone, and menopause.  Vitamin D, at optimal levels, can act as a hormone and can influence the thyroid, as well as being important to bone health, and regulating the immune system.  Vitamin A is important to bone health, too, and is necessary for intestinal health, as well.   I don't do dairy because I react to Casein, the protein in dairy that resembles gluten and causes a reaction the same as if I'd been exposed to gluten, including high tTg IgA.  I found adding mineral water containing calcium and other minerals helpful in increasing my calcium intake.   Malabsorption of Celiac affects all the vitamins and minerals.  I do hope you'll talk to your doctor and dietician about supplementing all eight B vitamins and the four fat soluble vitamins because they all work together interconnectedly.

I take NAKA Women's Multi full spectrum, and have not felt sick after taking 2 capsules per day -  it is a Canadian company. I buy both from Amazon. I wish you well in your searching, I know how discouraging it all is. Florence.

      highly unlikely  NOTHING and I mean NOTHING else has ever caused me these kinds of symptoms I have no problem with dates, they are a large part of my diet In fact, I eat a very high fiber, very high vegetable and bean diet and have for many years now. It's considered a whole foods plant based or plant forward diet (I do now eat some lean ground turkey but not much) I was off dairy for years but recently had to add back plain yogurt to meet calcium needs that I am not allowed to get from supplements (I have not had any problem with the yogurt)   I eat almost no processed foods. I don't eat out. almost everything I eat, I cook myself I am going to keep a food diary but to be honest, I already know that it's wheat products and also barley that are the problem, which is why I gradually stopped eating and buying them. When I was eating them, like back in early 2024, when I was in the middle of moving and ate out (always had bread or toast or rolls or a sub or pizza) I felt terrible but at that time was so busy and exhausted that I never stopped to think it was the food. Once I was in my new place, I continued to have bread from time to time and had such horrible joint pain that I was preparing for 2 total knee replacements as well as one hip! The surgery could not go forward as I was (and still am) actively losing calcium from my bones. That problem has yet to be properly diagnosed and treated   anyway over time I realized that I felt better when I stopped eating bread. Back at least 3 yrs ago I noticed that regular pasta made me sick so I switched to brown rice pasta and even though it costs a lot more, I really like it.   so gradually I just stopped buying and eating foods with gluten. I stopped getting raisin bran when I was constipated because it made me bloated and it didn't help the constipation any more (used to be a sure bet that it would in the past)   I made cookies and brownies using beans and rolled oats and dates and tahini and I LOVE them and have zero issues eating those I eat 1 or more cans of beans per day easily can eat a pound of broccoli - no problem! Brussels sprouts the same thing.   so yeh it's bread and related foods that are clearly the problem  there is zero doubt in my mind
