Squash Pie

I just whipped up a Squash Pie. I just used a Rice Flour Pie Crust Recipe that I got online and used my regular Squash Pie recipe with condensed milk and canned squash...it was so VERY good.

These are the tips that helped me....

I found that it was easier to double to the crust recipe, and not roll it out...I just patted it in the pie crust pan

I also pre-baked the crust a bit before putting in the squash filling

I also added some sugar to the recipe...it made the pie crust a little sweeter...

It came out amazing!

Maybe you could share the recipe? There's a bit of a pumpkin shortage in New England this year and I may be subbing squash at Thanksgiving!

I would be glad to...

There are 2 pie crust recipes here...one just below and a shortbread one at the bottom...you can use either....

First I will start with the Pie Crust. Recipe I used.. 9" Pie Crust ONE

1 3/4 cup Rice Flour

1/4 cup Potato Flour (I got this at the health food store)

3/4 cup Butter Crisco shortening...the kind in the can... (It states on Crisco website that it is Gluten Free) You can use Butter, but I haven't tried it with butter yet....

2T Sugar

1/2 tsp salt (I use sea salt)

2 Eggs

Measure flour out into a mixing bowl, then cut in the Crisco with a pastry blender...till no traces of loose rice flour are seen

it will look crumbly....

Take the 2 eggs and crack them into a small bowl and whip them up a bit

Add the eggs to the flour shortening blend and mix well...

You should be able to form a rather large ball...

The original directions said to roll it out...I found that rather impossible SO....

I just patted into into the pan by hand...I found that rather easy to do, and just worked the dough so that

the dough covered the bottom and sides of the pie pan evenly...

I then decided that I should pre bake this a bit, so I pricked the bottom of the pie crust with a fork

and baked it at 375 for about 5-6 minutes or so...it might rise up a bit, but when I took it out, I just pushed it back down...

Then I set it aside and mixed up my filling....

SQUASH OR PUMPKIN PIE FILLING

Pre heat oven to 420 degrees

1 can condensed milk

1 can (16oz) squash or pumpkin (the ones that say only pumpkin or squash as ingredients)

3/4 cup sugar

1/2 t salt

3/4 t ground cinnamon

1/4 t ground cloves

1/2 t ginger

2 eggs

In a large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients and mix until blended

Pour into your prepared pie crust

Place foil around the edges of the pie crust to prevent over browning

Bake at 420 degrees for 15 minutes and then turn down oven and bake 40-45 min more

or until knife inserted in center comes out clean

Let cool and then enjoy serve with Freshly Whipped Cream...

NOTES:

You can always buy a prepared gluten free pie crust at Whole Foods

Or you can use another pie crust using Pamela's gluten-free Pecan Shortbread Cookies, crushed with 1/4 cup of butter melted

Then press into a 9" pan

Preheat oven to 350 and bake this crust for 5 minutes then cool

Then add your filling and bake as directed above....just cover the edges to protect from overbrowning....

I haven't tried that one yet but I got it online...and this does sound really yummy!

Butternut squash makes an excellent pie. Just bake, microwave or cook as you like and puree and use it in the pie. Just be sure that however you cook it, you don't add in extra water otherwise it'll end up wetter than the canned pumpkin.

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around. The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me. Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients. The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus! Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces! Considering...

      Cricket Flour Makes Really Good Gluten-Free Bread

      Your concern about certified gluten-free cricket powder is completely valid, as cross-contamination in both feedstock and processing is a real issue. Currently, the availability of certified gluten-free options is limited, but brands like Chapul and Entomo Farms, which I believe have offered products processed in dedicated facilities and labeled gluten-free...

      Thus has got to STOP , medical bit believing us! I literally went through 31 years thinking it was just a food allergy as its downplayed by medical if THEY weren't the ones who diagnosed us! Im positive for HLA-DQ2 which is first celiac patient per Iran and Turkey. Here in the States especially in Cali its why do you feel that way? Why do you think your celiac? Your not eating gluten so its something else.Medical caused me depression. I thought I was safe with my former pcp for 25 years considering i thought everything I went through and going through will be available when I get fired again for health. Health not write-ups my health always come back when you're better.Im not and being tossed away at no fault to my own other than shitty genes.I was denied disability because person said he didn't know how to classify me! I said Im celiac, i have ibs, hernia, sciatica, high blood pressure, in constant pain have skin and eye issues and menopause intensified everything. With that my celiac nightmare began to reprove my disregarded disease to a bunch of clowns who think they are my careteam when they said I didn't have...I feel Im still breathing so I can fight this so no body else has to deal with this nightmare. Starting over with " new care team" and waisting more time on why I think I am when diagnosed in 1994 before food eliminated from my diet. P.s everything i went through I did write to medical board, so pretty sure I will continue to have a hard time.

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.

      I've used magnesium taurinate and magnesium taurate vitamins.  Didn't notice much of a difference when I used them.
