It's my turn to host Bunco and I need some ideas for some goodies. I'll have nuts and chocolate. I think I'll make Cocoa Pebbles rice crispie treats. I need some salt. Any ideas are appreciated. This will be a gluten-free bunco and I think some of the ladies are wondering what I eat so I need some good ideas to show them how normal I am! :P

Ohhhh . . . I miss Bunco . . . tried to get a group started a couple of years back but it just fizzled . . . I think I should try again!!!

I have to tell you, even though you've got the "sweet" . . . I've been thinking a lot lately about chocolate fondue . . . yummmm :P

For salty . . . popcorn or home made chex mix

My elderly aunt calls it "the bongo". How about chips, salsa, guacamole, trader joe's brownies, cheese and gluten-free crackers?

We play once a month and sometimes its called Drunko...thats another story.

How about Buffalo dip

1 8oz cream cheese

1/2 C buffalo sauce

1/2 C Blue cheese dressing ( I use Lighthouse brand light blue cheese) its refrigerated

2 Chicken breast cut up

3 stalks celery

mix all and bake 375 till hot and bubbly, it firms up as it cools

serve with Frito's,

taco dip is good

stuffed potato bites

gluten free crackers with cheese or salsa

rotel cheese dip and corn chips

Have fun!

Great ideas everone. I'll have hubby make the guacomole and chips and salsa are always good.

WendyG, in the Buffalo dip, what is Buffalo sauce? I have never heard of this. The dip sounds good though. Is Buffalo sauce a brand name? Think I can sub ranch dip for the blue cheese? Ooh, rotel dip is good too. I haven't had that in a long time.

Darn 210, what do you use for the corn chex? I haven't made this since going gluten-free.

These are all such great snacks. I think they are afraid of what I'll make since I never eat anything when I'm at someone else's house.

Here's all the name brands that I use:

Rice Chex

Health Vally Corn Crunchems (Look just like corn chex)

Glutino Pretzels

Lea & Perrins Worcestershire Sauce

Lawry's Season Salt

McCormicks' onion powder & garlic powder

The first time I made gluten-free chex mix for my daughter she asked . . . "Are you sure you can actually make that at home" (Yes, she was use to store-bought) . . . and I answered . . . "When I was your age, that was the only way you could even get chex mix" . . . She was stunned!! :lol::lol:

Hi, usually use Crystal's hot sauce but Franks looks safe too. I am sure you could sub the ranch for blue cheese. The light house brand is gluten-free and I think it adds a great flavor! its really yummy I bring it everywhere.

Open Original Shared Linkis what I was thinking when I saw Bufalo sauce. I used to LOVE the Chipolte but I don't know that it's gluten-free. It's a Hormel product and it's not on their gluten-free list.

Thanks for the recipes and the brand names! I always loved that chex mix - I think I could get addicted to it.

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      My dad had an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm. Fortunately, it was discovered during an exam. The doctor could feel my dad's heart beating in his stomach/abdomen. The aneurysm burst when the doctor first touched it in surgery. Since he was already hooked up to the bypass machine, my dad survived ten more years. Close call! Triple A's can press on the...

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      You have an odd story there. To me, the mechanical trigger suggests a mechanical problem and lower leg pain is a classic sciatica symptom. The fact that the clear mechanical linkage is no longer there does not take away from the fact that it was - maybe something shifted and the simple alignment is no longer there. There's also a good chance I am wrong and...

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      Oddly this effect has gone now, just happened yesterday evening, the nerve pain is now back to its usual "unpredictable" random self again - but that was the only time I ever had some mechanical trigger for it, don't know why! There's no (or wasn't) actual pain in my neck - it was inside the leg, but when I looked down, now though, the leg pain just comes...

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      My dad had an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm.  Fortunately, it was discovered during an exam.  The doctor could feel my dad's heart beating in his stomach/abdomen.  The aneurysm burst when the doctor first touched it in surgery.  Since he was already hooked up to the bypass machine, my dad survived ten more years.  Close call! Triple A's can press on the nerves in the spinal cord causing leg pain.  I'm wondering if bowing the head might have increased the pressure on an aneurysm and then the nerves.   https://gulfcoastsurgeons.com/understanding-abdominal-aortic-aneurysm-symptoms-and-causes/ Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Presenting as a Claudication https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4040638/

The fact that the clear mechanical linkage is no longer there does not take away from the fact that it was - maybe something shifted and the simple alignment is no longer there. There's also a good chance I am wrong and it's something else entirely. @Scott Adams's mention of shingles is interesting. It seems possible but unlikely to me, but who knows. However, I am writing here to reinforce the idea of getting the shingles vaccine. Ask anyone who has ever had shingles and they will bend your ear telling you how bad it is. I watched my wife go through it and it scared the bejeebers out of me. Even if you had the chicken pox vaccine, you really want to get the shingles vaccine.

      I had MRI scan a few years ago showing everything normal, and now it's no longer triggering the nerve pain when I bow my head today - it only seemed to happen yesterday, and that was the only time it happened! Just seemed weird as no movement has caused my usual nerve pain before. It's normally just random.
