Having A Dinner Party


MollyBeth

Recommended Posts

MollyBeth Contributor

Hello friends!!

I'm having a small dinner party and need your help!!! I'm making a gluten free green bean and mushroom risotto to start. The main course will consist of chicken parm...gluten free of course! I made some bread that didn't turn out so well for my PB&J but it has turned out to make a pretty delicious bread crumb mixture!! So do any of you guys have any ideas of an easy dessert? Somthing simple...maybe an easy ice cream dish....

Thanks much!

Your menu sounds delicious. :)

This is very simple but I haven't made it with regular plain yogurt only my SCD yogurt which I dripped to make a little thicker, have you ever done that? I'm thinking it would go well with the rest of your menu.

Frozen Lemon Yogurt

1 cup yogurt, as thick as good sour cream

1/3 cup lemon juice

zest from the lemon, organic

scant 1/2 teaspoon lemon flavor, I used Simply Organic

1/2 cup honey

Mix well and freeze in a ice cream maker.

Enjoy

I think a cheesecake or mousse would be a great dessert, but also have a FANTASTIC ice cream recipe. Both of these are some of my favorites...and I make a lot of desserts!:)

I made this and brought it to work, it disappeared instantly!! I love cheesecake and this is by far my favorite I've ever made!

I made gluten-free vanilla wafers ahead of time--in place of the flours listed, I just used a blend I had at home, you can use whatever you have (I don't like the taste of soy flour)...

Seems like an Italian theme. How about:

zabaglione

sorbet/gelato/ice

Limoncello

rice pudding

gluten-free biscotti/espresso

Turtle Cheescake

Preheat over to 300 F.

Crust:

1 1/2-cup toasted almonds (I toast them by cooking them in a pan on stove until lightly browned - I'm not sure if that's the "correct" way to toast them, but it works for me)

1/2-cup sugar

2-tbsp unsalted butter, melted

1/2-tsp almond extract (optional - I've done it with and without and it works both ways)

In a food processor, blend the almonds and sugar to a coarse meal

Add the butter and almond extract and process until fully blended

Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan

Chill for 30 minutes before adding filling

Filling

2 lbs cream cheese

Saute sliced peaches in a little butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Pour in some whiskey/rum or something like it that is gluten-free. Light it on fire. Allow to burn out then serve with vanilla ice cream. AMAZING!!!!

Although you have found your answer in the turtle cheesecake.............here is something for future. If you like chocolate mint, make some great brownies with one of the brownie mixes, I like Bob's Red Mill, mix in some chocolate chips and then when they come out of the oven, immediately lay on lots of Junior Mints and just let them sit. Do not spread them around. TO DIE FOR. Oh, gosh, my mouth is watering just thinking of making this, I haven't made it in some time. My granddaughter is 10 and has been diagnosed since she was one and I have made lots of pans of these for her, but not recently. It is actually like eating candy rather than dessert.

Wow, this would work with a lot of stuff. Andes mints, caramel chocolates......

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.
    • trents
      Under the circumstances, your decision to have the testing done on day 14 sounds very reasonable. But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in hospitals or institutional care and I'm guessing your physician would be willing to grant you a diagnosis of gluten sensitivity (NCGS) even if your celiac testing comes up negative. Also, you need to be aware that oats (even gluten free oats) is a common cross reactor in the celiac community. Oat protein (avenin) is similar to gluten. You might want to look at some other gluten free hot  breakfast cereal alternatives.

      After the birth of my daughter nearly 6 years ago, my stools changed. They became thin if they happened to be solid (which was rare) but most of the time it was Bristol #6 (very loose and 6-8x a day). I was on various medications and put it down to that. A few years later I went on this strict "fruit and meat" diet where I just ate meat, fruit, and squash vegetables. I noticed my stools were suddenly formed, if a bit narrow. I knew then that the diarrhea was probably food related not medication related. I tried following the fodmap diet but honestly it was just too complicated, I just lived with pooping 8x a day and wondering how I'd ever get and keep a job once my children were in school.  This past December I got my yearly bloodwork and my triglycerides were high. I looked into Dr. William Davis (wheat belly author) and he recommended going off wheat and other grains. This is the first time in my life I was reading labels to make sure there was no wheat. Within 2 weeks, not only were my stools formed and firm but I was only pooping twice a day, beautiful formed Bristol #4.  Dr. Davis allows some legumes, so I went ahead and added red lentils and beans. Nervous that the diarrhea would come back if I had IBS-D. Not only did it not come back, it just made my stools even bigger and beautiful. Still formed just with a lot more width and bulk. I've also been eating a lot of plant food like tofu, mushrooms, bell peppers, hummus etc which I thought was the cause of my diarrhea before and still, my stools are formed. In January I ran a genetics test because I knew you had to have the genes for celiac. The report came back with  DQ 2.2 plus other markers that I guess are necessary in order for it to be possible to have celiac. Apparently DQ 2.2 is the "rarer" kind but based on my report it's genetically possible for me to have celiac.  I know the next step is to bring gluten back so I can get testing but I am just not wanting to do that. After suffering with diarrhea for years I can't bring myself to do it right now. So that is where I am!

      learned I had a high PTH level in 2022 suspected to be due to low vit D  got my vit D level up a bit but still have high PTH   I am 70 yrs old (today in fact) I am looking for someone who also has hyperparathyroidism that might be caused by malabsorption

      I am on day 13 of eating gluten  and have decided to have the celiac panel done tomorrow instead of Wed. (and instead of extending it a few more weeks) because I am SO incredibly sick. I have almost no appetite and am not able to consume the required daily intake of calcium to try to keep up with the loss of calcium from the high parathyroid hormone and/or the renal calcium leak.    I have spent the past 15 years working hard to improve my health. I lost 50lbs, got off handfuls of medications, lowered my cholesterol to enviable levels, and in spite of having end stage osteoarthritis in both knees, with a good diet and keeping active I have NO pain in those joints- til now.  Almost all of my joints hurt now I feel like someone has repeatedly punched me all over my torso- even my ribs hurt- I have nausea, gas, bloating, headache, mood swings, irritability, horrid flatulence (afraid to leave the house or be in any enclosed spaces with other people- the smell would knock them off their feet) I was so sure that I wanted a firm diagnosis but now- I'm asking myself is THIS worth it? esp over the past 2 yrs I have been feeling better and better the more I adjusted my diet to exclude highly refined grains and processed foods. I didn't purposely avoid gluten, but it just happened that not eating gluten has made me feel better.   I don't know what I would have to gain by getting a definitive diagnosis. I think possibly the only advantage to a DX would be that I could insist on gluten-free foods in settings where I am unable to have access to foods of my choice (hospital, rehab, nursing home)  and maybe having a medical reason to see a dietician?   please let me know if it's reasonable to just go back to the way I was eating.  Actually I do plan to buy certified gluten-free oats as that is the only grain I consume (and really like) so there will be some minor tweaks I hope and pray that I heal quickly from any possible damage that may have been done from 13 days of eating gluten.
