We're going to Indy to be with our kids for Christmas this year as they both are working as much as they can during the break. We're usually at home but Mom is going to Arizona before Christmas so we are free to travel, dog and all!!

We haven't decided what to cook and I wondered what others are having. We are usually pretty casual for Christmas eating. When I worked in the mall, I was so exhausted then I just didn't want to spend all day in the kitchen. Now I'm open to suggestions!

I'm going to be cooking a goose this year. I'm thinking blackberry demi-glace to go with it, instead of cranberry sauce. I'm going to be having Kinnikinnick pan rolls (found them in the frozen section), and I'm thinking for veg I might do glazed carrots. I'm still trying to come up with something green. I'm also thinking of doing baby potatoes, I might toss some veg in there.

Anyway, the goose is the exciting part.

We're taking a lasagna to the in-laws. Easy to make ahead of time and easy to deal with on the road.

I'm doing a pork roast, German potato salad, carrots, pistachio salad, tomato/mozzerella/basil salad, and homemade chunky applesauce.

For dessert, I think chocolate pecan pie and either spice cake with buttercream frosting or another pie (haven't decided)

Elonwy--I've had duck once at a fancy-schmancy party. It was delicious :D

for Christmas Eve, i'm bringing a salad to my boyfriends parents house...i don't really feel like preparing a big meal just for me to have to reheat. oh and i'm going to make chocolate chip cookies so i'll have something to eat for dessert, too. my pumpkin choc chip ones were a hit at Thanksgiving!

Christmas Day...we're staying home and having steak and french fries (what a combo, huh??). i was thinking about making some honey glazed carrots too because i've been having a craving for them!

then my mom is making me a big ol' turkey dinner over the weekend when we're at their house. i'm making a carrot cake - i think i'm going to try the Namaste spice cake with the carrot variation.

Alas we are not having a special dinner this year. At least I don't think so. We are snowed in and have been for days. Only have emergency food in the house and the stuff for the tuna casserole I was planning for Christmas day lunch when my parents were supposed to come over here, but now won't be. If I have electricity, I'll fix that. We are in the midst of another storm and are slated to get high winds that could knock the power out for over a week.

We were planning to do Christmas at my parent's house the following Sat., but now it looks like snow clear through then. *sigh* I don't know when we shall ever get out again.

IF we can get out of our neighborhood and if I-5 clears out.....we will go to my grandmothers for Christmas Eve. Our menu is:

BBQ prime rib with the trimmings

Spiral Ham w/o glaze

my gluten-free homemade mac and cheese

baked potatoes with all the trimmings

some kind of steamed veggie, probably brussle sprouts

I'm bringing dessert-pumpkin gingerbread trifle (gluten-free) and something else-probably all of the cookies I've been baking since I can't leave my house (but I did manage to trek thru the snow to Starbucks yesterday-try to keep me away from my coffee :P )

Christmas day we do at my house and since everyone gorges themselves the night before, we just do a BIG veggie tray to snack on and then easy chili and cornbread for dinner.

Sugardale ham with apricot glaze with soy sauce

Scalloped potatoes

Garlic stir fried green beans with french fried onions sprinkled on top

Whipped yams with butter, cinnimon, nutmeg & ginger - and a little brown sugar (my fav)

Chi-Chis Sweet Corn Cake - served warm

an olive/pickle dish

Deviled Eggs with Weber's mustard and Frank's hot sauce (yes, I live near Buffalo)

and when my husband and 2 teenage sons recover:

Chocolate chip brownies (the ones with just egg, butter, vanilla, salt - Gluten Free for Dummies book) served warm with vanilla ice cream and whipped cream

I know this is a little late being that its after Christmas, but for Christmas Eve I served:

Cheese

gluten-free crackers

Pepperoni

Meatballs

Shrimp Cocktail

Sweet and Sour Kielbasa

Tacos w/ all the toppings

Various fudge

Cookies

Vanilla Cake

Chocolate pound cake

My family likes to pick on a bunch of stuff. We never really do a full sit down meal for Christmas eve. More like an hors d'vors type of a thing. Everthing that I had was gluten free.

For Christmas day we go to my parents house and my father makes breakfast. We had eggs, bacon, sausage, home fries, corned beef hash. Everyone else had toast, but I was fine without it.

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      By trents · Posted

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
