I have been wanting to host a party. I have been to one years ago and the representative demonstrated the products by using and making a few food items. Has anyone hosted a party gluten free? I could easily get with the rep and substitute ingredients, but what about the bakewear etc? would it be alright? I would say no to anything done on stonewear. Do you think it would be alright if we lined with parchment or aluminm foil. I would be the only one that is gluten free, but since I would be the host, I want the whole thing gluten free. I don't tust anyone but myself, and maybe hubby to my kitchen. It sounds like a lot of fun and a good way to let people know gluten free food is not as weird as they thought.

Seems most of the recipes they do at parties use crescent rolls. I wonder what sort of recipe you could do... even w/ all the precautions?

Yeah, I am with you on the lining things with parchment and tin foil! You dont want cross contamination. And good for you for wanting to introduce people to gluten-free food. My family used to be afraid of it but now my mom and sister and friends think ''my'' food tastes better than a lot of what they have! LOL! OR perhaps you could preorder some of your bakeware and have your gluten free ones to bake on when the party comes!

Good luck!

Let us know how it goes down!

Ive heard that the Chebe bread mixes are quick and could approximate those little crescent rolls from a tube they always use... maybe give that a shot, or just come up with some easy flatbread of pizza recipe!

Yes!!! I have hosted a gluten free pampered chef party. I did one this past July. I chose "chicken jerk nachos" and we did a whole chicken in the deep covered baker.

I would highy suggest doing a chicken in the baker along with another dish. This was such a huge hit because you can cook a whole chicken in the microwave in about 30 minutes or so. A large percentage of guests at my party bought that piece and its $70 a pop.

The last time I looked the only seasonings that they have that are gluten-free are the chipotle and the jerk seasoning.

There are alot of other recipes that can be adapted. My cousin has a party after me and for her party they made a pasta salad (just sub gluten-free noodles) I couldn't eat the salad because they served it in a bread bowl, but that recipe could have been totally made gluten-free.

It can definately be done. I love, love, love pampered chef. Just work with your pampered chef person. Mine was great with me, but she also had a little bit of knowledge of gluten. She had a family member with celiac, so that helped.

Go for it and good luck. I know you mentioned the stoneware, and I have to say, they are my absolute favorite pieces. I do not allow ANY gluten to touch them. All of the gluten eaters in my house have to use the crappy old stuff that I have. LOL As a matter of fact I made a gluten free mac and cheese in one of the stoneware pans tonight!

I think Feb is a good month to host a party as I think the special for that month is the stoneware.

Did you have your own baker or did the rep bring one and use it? I currently do not own any pampered chef stoneware or bakewear. I do however have lots of parchment and aluminum foil. :lol: I am going to have to get into contact with an rep soon. I've been wanting to get some more pampered chef items.

I had my own baker at that time, but I used her bar pan for the nachos. I did not get sick. But I also wasn't eating off the bottom of the pan. That baker is such a HUGE seller. But you have to demo the chicken. It makes everybody ohhh and ahhh. LOL! When my cousin did her party she didn't do the chicken and no one bought the baker.

There are many recipes that dont have the cresent rolls. They give you a list of recipes to choose from. There was another dish that my friend did, which used the baker as well. It was a pasta dish made in the microwave in the baker. YOu actually dump uncooked pasta in. It was really good and I've made it before with gluten-free pasta. There are many many options.

Good luck!

      Hi Jmartes, It sure is difficult to get useful advice from medical providers. Almost 20 years ago a Dr suggested that I might have Celiacs and I took a Celiac Panel blood test. No gluten challenge diet. On that test the tTG was in normal range but an alpha antibody was very high. I went online and read about celiac disease and saw how I could investigate...

      Airborne Gluten?

      I can't prove it, but I truly believe I have been glutened by airborne particles. I used to take care of shelter cats once per week at a pet store, and no matter how careful I was, I would get glutened each time even if I wore a mask and gloves and washed up well after I was done. I believe the problem was that because I'm short, I couldn't do the the tasks...

      Hi Jmartes, It sure is difficult to get useful advice from medical providers. Almost 20 years  ago a Dr suggested that I might have Celiacs and I took a Celiac Panel blood test. No gluten challenge diet. On that test the tTG was in normal range but an alpha antibody was very high. I went online and read about celiac disease and saw how I could investigate this low tTG and still have celiac disease. Normal tTG can happen when a person had been reacting for many years. Another way is that the person has not been eating enough gluten to raise the antibody level. Another reason is that the tTG does not show up on a blood but may show up on a fecal test. Almost all Celiacs inherit at least one of the 2 main Celiac genes. I had genetic tests for the Celiac genes at Enterolab.com. I inherited one main Celiac gene from one parent and the report said that the DQ gene I inherited from my other parent, DQ6, could cause a person to have more problems or symptoms with that combination. One of my grandmother's had fairly typical symptoms of Celiacs but the other grandmother had severe food intolerances. I seem to show some problems inherited from both grandmothers. Human physiology is very complex and researchers are just beginning to understand how different body systems interact.  If you have taken an autosomal DNA test you can download your raw data file and upload it to Prometheuw.com for a small fee and search for Celiac Disease. If you don't find any Cekiac genes or information about Celiac disease  you may not have autoimmune gluten intolerance because more than 99% of Celiacs have one or both of these genes.  PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS IF YOU WANT TO KNOW EHAT i HAVE DONE TO HELP WITH SYMPTOMS.

      Airborne Gluten?

      By MogwaiStripe · Posted

      I can't prove it, but I truly believe I have been glutened by airborne particles. I used to take care of shelter cats once per week at a pet store, and no matter how careful I was, I would get glutened each time even if I wore a mask and gloves and washed up well after I was done. I believe the problem was that because I'm short, I couldn't do the the tasks without getting my head and shoulders inside their cages, and so the particles from their food would be all over my hair and top of my shirt. Then I had to drive home, so even if I didn't get glutened right then, the particles would be in my car just waiting for me to get in the car so they could get blown into my face again. I gave up that volunteer gig and stopped getting glutened so often and at such regular intervals.

      Airborne Gluten?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hello, @annamarie6655, Yes, there's many of us who react to airborne gluten!   Yes, animal feed, whether for chickens or cats or dogs, can release airborne gluten.  I can get glutened from the bakery section at the grocery store.   The nose and mouth drain into the digestive system and can trigger systemic reactions.   I find the histamine release in response to airborne gluten will stuff up my sinuses and bother my eyes.  High histamine levels do cause anxiety and migraines.  The muscle spasms can be caused by high histamine, too.  The digestive system may not manifest symptoms without a higher level of gluten exposure.   Our bodies make an enzyme, DAO (diamine oxidase), to break down histamine.   Pyridoxine B 6, Cobalamine B12, Vitamin C, copper, zinc, and iron are needed to make DAO.  DAO supplements are available over the counter.  Taking a B Complex supplement and additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) helps reduce the amount of histamine being released.  Mast cells without sufficient Thiamine have an itchy trigger finger and release histamine at the slightest provocation.  Thiamine helps mast cells refrain from releasing their histamine.    I find taking additional TTFD thiamine helps immensely with neurological symptoms as TTFD can easily cross the blood brain barrier without a carrier.  High histamine in the brain can cause the muscle spasms, anxiety and migraines.  Vitamin C really helps with clearing histamine, too.   The Digiorno pizza mystery reaction could have been caused by a reaction to the cheese.  Some people develop lactose intolerance.  Others react to Casein, the protein in dairy, the same as if to gluten because Casein resembles the molecular structure of gluten.  An enzyme used in some dairy products, microbial transglutaminase, causes a gluten reaction because it is the same as the tissue transglutaminase our bodies make except microbes make it.  Those tTg IgA blood tests to diagnose celiac disease measure tissue transglutaminase our bodies release as part of the autoimmune response to gluten.   You're doing great!  A Sherlock Holmes award to you for figuring out the connection between airborne gluten and animal feed!!!
