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.

Pickled beets

Celery with pb

Clementines (I just bought a box tonite...mmm so yummy)

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.

      Wheat in cow feed would not equal gluten in the milk, @Wheatwacked, please back up extraordinary claims like this with some scientific backing, as I've never heard that cow's milk could contain gluten due to what the cow eats.

      Hello, @NanceK, I'm glad you're willing to give Benfotiamine with B Complex another go! I'm certain you'll feel much better. Yes, supplementation is a good idea even if you're healing and gluten free. The gluten free diet can be low in B vitamins and other nutrients.

      My only proof

      Oh wow! Thanks for this information! I’m going to try the Benfotiamine again and will also add a B-complex to my supplements. Presently, I just take sublingual B12 (methylcobalomin). Is supplementation for celiacs always necessary even though you remain gluten-free and you’re healing as shown on endoscopy? I also take D3, mag glycinate, and try to get cal...

      Hello, @NanceK, I'm glad you're willing to give Benfotiamine with B Complex another go!  I'm certain you'll feel much better.   Yes, supplementation is a good idea even if you're healing and gluten free.  The gluten free diet can be low in B vitamins and other nutrients. A nutritionist can help guide you to a nutrient dense diet, but food sensitivities and food preferences can limit choices.  I can't consume fish and shellfish due to the sulfa hypersensitivity and iodine content, and dairy is out as well.  I react to casein, the protein in dairy, as well as the iodine in dairy.  My Dermatitis Herpetiformis is aggravated by iodine.   Blood tests for B vitamin levels are notoriously inaccurate.  You can have deficiency symptoms before blood levels change to show a deficiency.  I had subclinical vitamin deficiencies for years which affected my health, leading to a slow downward spiral.  Because the B vitamins are water soluble, they are easily excreted in urine if not needed.  It's better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.   Wheat and other gluten containing grain products have vitamins and minerals added to them to replace those nutrients lost in processing.  Manufacturers add cheap vitamins that our bodies don't absorb or utilize well.  Even normal people can suffer from vitamin deficiencies.  The rise in obesity can be caused by High Calorie Malnutrition, where people eat more carbohydrate calories but don't get sufficient thiamine and B vitamins to turn the calories into energy.  The calories are stored as fat in an effort to ration out diminishing thiamine  stores.    It's time to buy your own vitamins in forms like Benfotiamine that our bodies can use well.   Not sleeping well and fatigue are symptoms of Thiamine deficiency.   I'm certain Benfotiamine with a B Complex will help you immensely.  Just don't take them at night since B vitamins provide lots of energy, you can become too energetic to sleep.  Better to take them earlier in your day.   Do keep me posted on your progress!

Is supplementation for celiacs always necessary even though you remain gluten-free and you’re healing as shown on endoscopy? I also take D3, mag glycinate, and try to get calcium through diet. I am trying to bump up my energy level because I don’t sleep very well and feel fatigued quite often. I’m now hopeful that adding the Benfotiamine and B-complex will help. I really appreciate your explanation and advice! Thanks again Knitty Kitty!
