I did do a cucumber salad today with mint and dill and balsamic vinegar. and red peppers and celery. Any other Ideas on what to do with it? Cooked or raw, either works.

Mint tea is very nice :P Take a handful of leaves and put them in boiling water (it has to be boiling hot). Let it steep for about ten minutes and then strain out the leaves. I love to make a whole pitcher full and stick it in the fridge when it's done steeping... mint iced tea! Very refreshing.

Another nice idea if you can have dairy... a scoop of vanilla Haagen-Dasz with fresh mint leaves as a simple topping. Yum! The smaller leaves are best.

I hope to see more ideas. Mint is taking over my garden too!

I tried this salad recently and liked it. Light and fresh. Good for this time of year. Open Original Shared Link

Last year we made Vietnamese style spring rolls. Used the rice paper wraps, leaf lettuce, poached shredded chicken, boiled shrimp, clear rice noodles and just two large mint leaves per roll tucked in. Then we served them with a bottled sweet tangy chili ginger sauce.

I planted spearmint in a pot a few years ago. It's now filled a section all around the pot, gone over a walkway, gone under a fence and started on the other side.

I use it to make Mojitos. I figure if they were good enough for Hemingway, they're good enough for me. :P

best regards, lm

Made mint Jelly last year and mint jalapeno a few months ago.

I would also put a bunch in a jar of White vinegar then forget about it for a year. Mint vinegar in other creations is really nice.

Yup, I was gonna say this! :)

Mint grows like crazy in my yard.....I have people over for mojitos regularly during the season. They're yummy!

How about mint chutney, mint juleps, or some spicy chili-mint Thai dishes?

Been enjoying mint tea with my breakfast often lately. So easy, flavorful and needs no sugar. I don't know why I waited so long to try it!

Years ago, I was house sitting for a friend and they had tons of mint in their yard. I found a mint sorbet recipe in a Sunset magazine recipe book, it was fabulous. Great on those hot summer days.

QUINOA AND MINT SALAD WITH AVOCADO AND FETA CHEESE

Similar to tabouli, but a little more dressed up. Quinoa is not really a grain, it's the seed of a grass.

1 cup (240 mL) quinoa

11/2 cups (360 mL) water

6 tablespoons (90 mL) extra-virgin olive oil

3 tablespoons (45 mL) fresh lemon juice

1 clove garlic, minced

a large pinch each of ground cinnamon and allspice

sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

3 ripe tomatoes, seeded, chopped

1 cup (240 mL) finely chopped fresh parsley

1 cup (240 mL) coarsely chopped fresh mint leaves

4 green onions, thinly sliced

1/4 English cucumber, seeded, finely chopped

1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese

2 avocados, pitted, peeled and cubed

Place the quinoa in a fine meshed sieve and rinse thoroughly under cold running water. Transfer to a small pot, add the water and bring to a boil. Turn the heat down to a simmer, cover with a lid and cook for 20-30 minutes until tender. Remove from the heat, place in a bowl, fluff with a fork and cool.

Combine the oil, lemon juice, garlic, cinnamon, allspice, and salt and pepper to taste. Stir into the quinoa.

Add the remaining ingredients and mix gently. Check the seasoning and serve.

Makes 4 to 6 servings

      Welcome to the forum, @LimpToeTheTimeless Bone growth plates close in the late teens to early twenties, so it's doubtful you'll grow much taller, but you may start to bulk up in muscle.  Remember to boost your absorption of vitamins and minerals needed to build muscle by eating a nutritionally dense diet and supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals, especially Thiamine B1, to counteract the malabsorption caused by Celiac Disease. Keep us posted on your progress!

      Fermentation breaks down some of the gluten in wheat. Nowhere enough for a wheat dough to become gluten free, but the gluten may be significantly reduced. I think some pizzerias make the dough the day before and leave it overnight. The longer the microbes are acting on the flour, the better.

      I am M 21 and I diagnosed myself after a week of fasting and slowly reintroducing stuff in my diet except gluten, I had terrible eczema scars ,dandruff and brain fog, now I am free after 6 years of just pain, I am 6'2, will I grow taller? And since I am a gymnast will my muscles grow like quicker, cause before no matter how effort I put in I just couldn't.

      And the fact is, no two celiacs will necessarily respond the same to gluten exposure. Some are "silent" celiacs and don't experience obvious symptoms. But that doesn't mean no harm is being done to their gut. It just means it is subclinical.
