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.

I'm making:

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.

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning?

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning? Hello. I've had another similar episode. I find it very difficult to differentiate between the symptoms of a cold or flu and those caused by gluten poisoning. In fact, I don't know if my current worsening is due to having eaten something that disagreed with me or if the cold I have has caused my body, which is hypersensitive...

      Celiac disease symptoms

      I'm no longer dealing with constipation. I got my liver test last month and it was in normal range. Two years ago I did have a vitamin D deficiency but I'm know taking vitamin D3 pills. Last month I got my vitamin D checked and it was in normal range. I don't believe I've had my choline checked. However, I do drink almond milk eat Greek yogurt on a daily...

      Celiac disease symptoms

      If you have hemorrhoids 1x weekly I don't see how you have time to heal from one episode before you experience another one, unless each one is a very minor event. Have you consulted a physician about your hemorrhoid issue? It's not normal to be having an episode every week unless it is really one episode that is not completely healing between weekly...

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange. Have you been supplementing Iron? How are your liver enzymes? Low levels of ferritin indicate iron deficiency, while  59% transferrin saturation indicates high iron levels.  Possibly indicating Fatty Liver Disease.  Choline is crucial for liver health, and deficiency is a known trigger for Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver.  Some experts say that less than 10% eat the the Food and Nutrition Board established Adequate Intake that are based on the prevention of liver damage. Severe constipation and hemorrhoids may be linked to a bile or choline deficiency.  "Ninety-five percent of phospholipids (PLs) in bile is secreted as phosphatidylcholine or lecithin."  Fatty acid composition of phospholipids in bile in man   Deficiency of these bile salts causes the bile to get thick. Some people with Celiac Disease are misdiagnosed with Gall Bladder bile issues.  Removal of the gallbladder provides only temporary relief. Whether or not celiac disease or NCGS are your issues you need to look at your vitamin D blood level.
