Pamela's Cheesecake

Just got the email from Pamelas Products. They have these scrumptious looking cheesecakes, Raspberry chocolate, hazelnut, chocolate with fudge, NY style. But the price is $49.51 through Amazon--way out of my budget for a cake. :(

Why would they have them priced so high? I won't even buy the cake from QVC that costs over $40 and it was huge.

8 raspberry chocolate, 3 inch size, will cost about $64. Pricey, but these would make a very nice wedding dessert, while the rest of the guests eat something similar with wheat. And I guess this isn't much more than a dessert at a restaurant....

See....I'm justifying the cost because they look sooooo good.

Do you need these already prepared? Cheescake recipes have been easier to convert to gluten free. (I would use the Pamela's cookies.) :P

I agree. In many cheesecake recipes, the only gluten is in the crust. Gluten free cookies of almost any type could be used. I think I've seen the suggestion to just press coconut into a pan and toast it to make a crust for cheesecake. I've used gluten free ginger snaps and gluten-free shortbread cookies. My attempt with the coconut was less successful cosmetically but still tasted good.

We bake things like that without a crust at all. I use small custard cups and a water bath to keep it tender and moist. That said, I never liked pie crust in my gluten eating days anyway so it wasn't a big change for us.

When you have 4 in the family that need to be gluten-free, there is a lot of baking and cooking going on.

Sometimes it's just plain nice to buy something already made. I'm just getting tired of baking--I'm a cook. It's always been a lifetime motto for me that you can be either a good cook or a good baker, but not both.

I say this as I'm baking bread, cooking chili and making a meatloaf with scalloped potatoes. :P

I agree with you at some point or some days we just need a break from baking & cooking! I cook for 8 most days , 4 gluten-free & the others usually also eat gluten-free depending on what is being prepared... I'm the only one who cooks so I understand!!!!!

Pamela's cheesecakes are wonderful so is Moondance Cheesecakes. Both about the same pricing only you can buy a single serving from Moondance for $3.95!Still very pricey. I usually make my own everything but as time goes on I find I want as much as I can afford gluten-free ready made! But it has to be the best....I still do school lunches, & bake quite a lot.....

I think we all miss the convienent factor ......

I still remeber getting Everybody Eats rolls for a Christmas present!!! I could have pigged out & eaten all 12 rolls at once I was so happy but I ate one at a time.... It was the first roll I enjoyed... In fact I even cried a little! gluten-free gets better every day....

Order a cheesecake for a special event in your life,,,, you deserve it!!!!!

I thought for sure they must give you more than one for that price, maybe a case of 3. But I checked and it was just one. Shocking! They must not be going for economy of scale with the big ones. Even the case of 8 of the three inchers for $63.84 which basically works out to $8 each is a bit shocking.

I agree with splurging and being able to just order something. Sometimes after all the cooking and baking I'm just too tired to enjoy eating it. :rolleyes:

So I make a double batch and freeze when I can to get instant gratification of a nice treat. :D

      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!
