I have been making pizza sauce alot lately with my garden tomatoes. I was wondering what are everyones favorite toppings.

Mine was always Canadian bacon and pineapple,

then it was BBQ chicken,

and our new fave is tomato, bacon, a bit of parmesan cheese, with some onions and peppers.

My dh loves zucchini, onions and peppers

I hate mushrooms and olives...my dh loves them.

My dd likes chicken alfredo.

I also like pepperoni and pineapple or taco.

Looking for new ideas...whats yours!?

If you make plain cheese, what types of cheeses do you use? Thanks!

My favorite pizza toppings are fresh mushrooms, fresh diced green peppers, fresh diced cherry tomatoes, Kraft natural fat free shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese, and fat free grated parmesean cheese. Oh great, now I'm craving a pizza! :blink:

I like really thinly sliced green peppers and bedalia onions. Emphasis on the thinly sliced!

maybe sometimes with a little crumbled hamburg or sausage...

I think a Buffalo chicken pizza sounds good. Shredded buffalo meat (chicken with hot sauce) with blue cheese sprinkled over the top. I'm not a fan of celery but it could be added.

I used to make up a bag of mini meatballs to keep in the freezer just for pizza...forgot about that...love 'em!

Mtndog and missy'smom...I have never heard of chicken sausages, do you make them yourself?

momxyz...I used to hate peppers and onions but now I have to have them on pizza :rolleyes:

Thanks all for the ideas...I am going to the store tonight (1 hour away) and making pizzas tomorrow.

I love thinly-sliced red onion, artichoke, and diced-up leftover grilled chicken. Sometimes I add hatch green chilies for a kick.

I love meatballs on pizza! Also, bacon and green pepper. Sometimes, though, I like just cheese (lots) and pepperoni. I like to mix mozzerella with a little extra sharp cheddar, and when the pizza is all assembled grate fresh pecorino romano over the top before it goes in the oven.

Lightly cooked spinach, artichokes, and roasted red peppers all with a good dose of chopped garlic and a drizzle of olive oil.

Yummy!

Mine too! I can't wait to get all the gluten out of my house and then experiment with pizza crusts!! I feel like I can't do anything until I get the house gluten free. This whole thread is making me want to come up with a homemade pizza that is better than anything I could get out!

Why wasn't this thread here yesterday when I was looking for pizza topping ideas (first post-tomato sauce pizza). Dh wanted pepperoni on it, but I put pesto, mozzarella, fresh tomato slices, shaved parmesan and fresh basil.

Here is the absolute best gluten-free crust I've ever had--I got the recipe from here quite a while ago by member "hangininthere" who I don't think posts here anymore. It goes together very easily....

'New York Style' Pizza Crust

Makes one 16" pizza crust

2 tablespoons rapid-rise yeast

1 1l3 cup warm milk

1 teaspoon sugar

1 1l3 cup brown rice flour (I use either white or sweet rice flour)

1 cup tapioca flour (I substituted cornstarch)

2 teaspoons guar gum (I used xanthan gum--make sure you use a gum or it will turn out hard)

1 teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons gelatin powder

2 teaspoons dried Italian seasoning (I skipped this)

2 teaspoons olive oil

2 teaspoons apple cidar vinegar

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

In small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm milk and sugar.

In separate large bowl, blend together dry ingredients.

Stir in yeast mixture.

Add oil and apple cider vinegar.

Mix well.

Pat onto buttered and floured sheet - cover with plastic wrap and shape using the wrap between your fingers and the dough. Lift plastic wrap slowly off.

Rub olive oil on top of patted out dough.

Bake plain untopped crust for 10 minutes.

Remove from oven and add toppings.

Return to oven and finish baking for another 20 minutes.

We use frozen Kinnikinnik pizza crust found at King Soopers (local supermarket). Kind of pricey, but so yummy that all of the non-celiac's in my house LOVE it. Everyone gets to build their 7" personal pizza, so everybody's happy. We also make Deby's garlic bread (Denver-based store) so it's a true pizzeria on nights that I'm too tired to cook.

I picked up a "against the grain" pizza crust today. I'll have to try one of the ideas here for toppings.

We eat pizza every Friday and our old standby is mushrooms, olives, ham and pepperoni. After Thanksgiving I like to make Turkey, Bacon and Ranch. I will sometimes make it when I have leftover chicken also. Ranch is used as the sauce. Bbq also makes a nice sauce with chicken(or turkey) and bacon. Have fun!

The chicken sausages are store bought. There are so many gluten-free ones. Whole Foods sells them as do many mainstream groceries. Many brands and flavors-Italian, Feta and something, etc. Most are pre-cooked, WF sells ones that they make, in their meat case, that are raw. Not all are gluten-free but many are.

I agree with others, these ideas sound SO good! I'll bet one could make a good breakfast style pizza, like the ones Red Baron sells-white sauce/sausage gravy, scrambled eggs, cheese, bacon etc.

Thanks...all we have is a small co-op but who knows, they might have the chicken sausages.

I used to buy those a.m. pizzas...mmm! I always wondered how they made that white sauce.

My dh suggested I make bacon cheeseburger with tomatoes and onions next time...sounds good too.

It's a basic white/cream sauce-started with a roux of butter and flour with milk added plus lots of black pepper and crumbled sausage. I'm thinking brown the sausage and remove, then start the roux in the sausage fat for extra flavor!

I use Bob's Red Mill crust and it is so good. I use prego traditional sauce for the pizza sauce. My favorite toppings are spinach and chicken, and after it comes out of the oven, I top it with sliced tomatoes(I dont like them cooked though). Now I am hungry for pizza!

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By trents · Posted

      If I may put my two cents in here . . . Coffee (caffeine) is a double-edged sword when it comes to headaches. It can relieve them (that's why caffeine is put in many over the counter pain relievers) but it can also cause them - particularly if you consume coffee/tea/soda often and regularly and then are in a situation where you have to go without it for a longer stretch than you are used to. Those who suffer from migraines may likely be more sensitive to the effects of caffeine or the withdrawal of it I'm thinking. And then there is the potential negative impact caffeine can have on sleep patterns for many people. Disruption of sleep patterns is also a migraine trigger for some. I speak as a migraine sufferer myself.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By Sarah Grace · Posted

      Hello Knitty Kitty, Many thanks for asking about my progress.  Its mixed....  I've been taking Benfotiamine since November.  I started on 300mg, but I didn't notice any change.  Increased to 900mb in 300mg tablets throughout the day and initially it seemed to be a cure.  But then the Hypoglycaemia and migraines started to return...it's really very difficult for me to control my diet.  I'm still taking the Benfotiamine but I now take the Benfotiamine in the evening and usually about 600mg after my early evening meal.  I'm still very sensitive to carbs and especially alcohol and sugar, which makes any social activity really difficult especially in the evenings and having to avoid all gluten as well....anyway I guess most members of this forum are very familiar with this.   However, I do think the Benfotiamine is very helpful.  I still get significant vertigo (very wobbly at random moments) but I think my brain fog and insomnia have improved.  I'm quite active physically (gardening and dog walking etc), so need carbs for this.  I am a bit of a coffee addict and wonder what impact that might have? Any suggestions that you have that might further improve my diet and management of the hypoglycaemia would be much appreciated, as I definitely have failed to conquer the problem.

      Thanks kitty, I needed reminding about thiamine. I ran out of magnesium so stopped taking it and that was ages ago, it definitely helps with my energy levels and general function. I just took some now and I’ll get some more magnesium. Although I don’t really understand the gundry list it does seem to correlate with foods I can/cannot eat, lectins are not all made equal and it seems to be personal which we react to but some are generally more problematic than others, I think he’s based the list on avoiding lectins that people are often reacting to on an igg test. I think it’s fructose I’m reacting to in fruit rather than histamine because I’m fine with coffee, not sure of the quantity of tannins but for me green tea is worse than black and coffee is fine. Interesting about wet beriberi as I nearly died from pneumonia when young so I wonder if it was related. I react differently to the different foods, lectins cause bloating bleeding and severe pain, sugar I feel wiped out but don’t get the bleeding, tea it’s just nausea. I’ve wondered about lectins being sugar binding proteins and my intolerance of sugars but the bleeding does seem to be a specific response to lectin consumption which I think is an autoimmune response because it improves when I take immune modulating mushrooms (reishi and cordyceps). I really do appreciate you being here to help whenever  I log in, than you 🙏

      hey knitty, thanks for the follow up. I did buy the benfotiamine before I saw a couple of the side effects that concerned me esp bracardia. I already have irregular heart beat and have had elevated liver enzymes before. I lowered the count by taking milk thistle in case anyone interested. I realize that many side effects are simply for legal protection but at my age and as a recovering heart patient can not take risk. Anyway, been strictly gluten-free since we last talked. I did add 200 mg of vit b1 in addition to the b complex. Not as much b1 as you suggested because of my conservative nature but at least an attempt. I still have substantial bloating which unfortunately is probably not caused by gluten, as I was hoping that gluten-free would clear it up a bit.  I wish that I could report a major benefit from going gluten-free but I can't. But I never got desperately ill as many have reported here and my poor brother who was completely overcome til diagnosed.  Take care

      Since lectins occur in almost everything, it's pretty unrealistic to avoid them all.  I didn't understand the rationale behind Dr. Gundry's lists either. Many fruits either contain high histamine amounts or are histamine releasers.  Histamine is made by our body, but we can also consume it in foods, because plants and animals make histamine, too.  Histamine is a neurotransmitter, that results in alertness.  That cup of coffee in the morning?  Releases histamine, so we wake up more.  But histamine is released as part of the immune response in Celiac and other illnesses, causing inflammation.   Our body can clear histamine, but if the body can't keep up with the histamine we are making ourselves as well as the histamine we're eating, we can have serious problems, digestive problems, insomnia, depression.  Some fruits can have high levels of fructose, one kind of sugar in fruits.  Some intestinal bacteria can ferment fructose, resulting in gas, bloating, diarrhea.  So, yes, Fructose Malabsorption can occur in Celiac.   Your dont list...Honey, maple syrup, lectins (and their attached carbohydrates), sugar... ....bedridden...These are all carbohydrates, sugars.  We need Thiamine to turn carbohydrates into energy.  Without sufficient thiamine, we can develop Gastrointestinal BeriBeri which has the classic digestive symptoms, nausea, diarrhea, abdominal pain. Tannins in tea and coffee cleave thiamine in two, making it nonfunctional.   Your do list...hazelnuts, pistachios, pressure cooked potatoes, and yogurt, butter, cheese.... These are foods that contain thiamine.  Pressure cooked mashed potatoes have more thiamine than boiled potatoes.  Those nuts are high in thiamine.  Dairy products are a good source of thiamine.   I can't diagnose, I'm not a doctor.  You read these articles and let me know if anything rings a bell with you.  Yes, I see thiamine deficiency everywhere because it is unrecognized by doctors.  I recognize it because I had it. Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ Thiamine deficiency disorders: a clinical perspective https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8451766/ Refeeding Syndrome https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK564513/ Refeeding Syndrome (a different article...) https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33232094/
