My mom told me we are having tacos. We will hash out the particulars of that when I visit there next. I presume there will be beans and rice with that. This is for Christmas Eve. I got some of the decorated cookies from this website for dessert. My mom may have something different. But with three diabetics, a nephew who hates sweets and a SIL who is on a strict diet for medical reasons, nobody needs much in the way of dessert.

My parents will be coming here for lunch on Christmas day. I have to come up with a meal that will fit everyone's needs. Husband is the only one who has no dietary issues aside from the fact that he is supposed to be on a weight loss diet. I have one pre-cooked beef roast from Costco. I think I will need to buy another. My husband has a big appetite and could likely eat a whole one all by himself. One roast would be enough for the other four of us. We are not big eaters. I have most of a bag of baby red potatoes (also from Costco). I will roast those along with some baby carrots in some beef broth. With this I will serve some raw veggies and olives and probably some baked apples for dessert.

Come on over--I think we'd have a ball cooking and eating! :D

For the relish, take a bag of fresh cranberries, wash, and chop in food processor. I just pulse a few times so as not to over do it. Put the chopped cranberries in a big bowl, and put a large, washed, quartered orange (rind and all) through the processor with about 3/4 cup of sugar (you can add more to taste--we don't like it too sweet). Add this to the bowl of chopped cranberries and stir well to combine. Best if made a day or so ahead to let the flavors develop. Very simple, but good. :)

I just made it...one word...DELICIOUS!!! Thanks Patti!!!

My dh popped in for lunch and sampled it, he likes it too! It's sooo pretty :P

I want to dump it into a cake, muffin or quick bread sometime...do you happen to have a recipe?

I am baking a ham on Sat morning and I hope there is some relish left to go with it :lol:

Oh my! :lol: In all the years we've been making it (it's a holiday "must have" as far as my husband is concerned), I've never thought to use it as an ingredient. I'll bet it would be good in a bread or muffin, though.

I found a recipe to try it with, I may save out a cup of relish. Another site said to freeze the relish.

I'm going to have a prime rib roast. I have no idea what I am going to have with it yet. Sometimes when I try to do different things the boys won't eat it. One time I took cauliflower and tossed it with olive oil and herbs, then roasted it. It was so good. My oldest son said "you burned the cauliflower." They won't eat it unless it is just steamed with just a little salt/pepper. Go figure.

Well, my Christmas dinner consisted of homemade beef vegetable soup that I had made the night before and it was really good. My husband put the prime ribs roast in the oven and a little while later I smelled the most rancid fat smell down in the basement. I came upstairs and the smell was worse and asked him if the roast was bad. He said that it was and that when he put it in the oven he thought is smelled a little off but was not sure because his nose was stuffed up. :lol:

It bothered him not me. The kids and I were perfectly happy eating my soup. We had such a fun day it didn't matter.

      Welcome to the forum, @SuzanneL! Which tTG was that? tTG-IGA? tTG-IGG? Were there other celiac antibody tests run from that blood draw? Was total IGA measured? By some chance were you already cutting back on gluten by the time the blood draw was taken or just not eating much? For the celiac antibody tests to be accurate a person needs to be eating about 10g of gluten daily which is about 4-6 pieces of bread.

      I've recently received a weak positive tTG, 6. For about six years, I've been sick almost everyday. I was told it was just my IBS. I have constant nausea. Sometimes after I eat, I have sharp, upper pain in my abdomen. I sometimes feel or vomit (bile) after eating. The doctor wanted me to try a stronger anti acid before doing an endoscopy. I'm just curious if these symptoms are pointing towards Celiac Disease? 
    • Scott Adams
      I'm sorry to hear about what you're going through. It must be really frustrating and uncomfortable. Have you talked to your healthcare provider about these sudden sweating episodes? It might be helpful to discuss this with them to rule out any other underlying issues or to see if there are specific strategies or treatments that can help manage this symptom. Additionally, staying hydrated and wearing breathable clothing may provide some relief.

      I am not sure where you are going, but we have articles in this section which may be helpful: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/gluten-free-travel/ 
    • trents
      There are supplements available that can help breakdown minor amounts of gluten such as you might experience with cross contamination when dining out and you order gluten free items from a menu. But they will not help when larger amounts of gluten are consumed. One such product that many on this forum attest to as having helped them in this regard is GliadinX. The inventor of GlidinX is one our forum sponsors so you should know that.
