CROCKPOT RECIPES:

Potatoes and Ham:

1 bag frozen hashbrowns/shredded potatoes (6 cups)

4 cups diced ham (about 1/2 lb.)

1-2 cans cream of mushroom soup (Progresso)

1 cup milk (or milk substitute)

Toss in crockpot, cover, cook on low until you get home from work :P

Meat, cheese, and potatoes:

Same ingredients, except substitute browned/drained ground beef. Sprinkle in 2 cups cheese 15-30 min. before you remove from pot.

Chicken, cheese, and potatos:

You get the idea ;)

For a vegetable: drain a can of green beans or other vegetable and add with other ingredients. You can also peel and slice potatoes as a substitute for the frozen shredded potatos.

BBQ chicken or pork

Toss raw meat in crockpot,

Pour BBQ sauce over meat, add 2 cups water water

Cook on low in crockpot while at work.

Well, now you know what a lazy cook I am! Hope some of you can enjoy a few of my simple little meals. :P -Julie

Sounds yummy, but I can never find the Progresso C/Mushroom soup!! Any ideas?? I don't have the "usual" stores talked about on here near me. No Whole Foods, etc. I can't find it at Walmart... help!!

same here. I looked everywhere for the progresso cream of mush soup, but can't find it. is there a good substitute?

Also, Julie, in another post you made a comment about making chocolate rice krispy treats with cocoa pepples and marshmallows. Okay, being the brain-dead cook I am, I need more instruction than that. do I melt the marshmallows first? how many do I use? How much cereal? it will be just for my 2 year old, so I didn't want to make a whole bunch. Thanks! :)

Wow! It tickles me to see ya'll might use some of my "very basic" recipes. I have a long weekend...so I'll try to post some more recipes for my other "cooking impaired" friends :P;)

I just don't have the time or energy to cook big meals right now, but I still like to feel like I'm eating a "big meal"...so, I'm slowly learning to be creative. :)

Thanks Kim, for posting the Rice Krispy recipe for Debbie :)

Abby, my gluten-free friend, I don't cook either! :D ...for awhile after going gluten-free, I also wasn't eating (hence the name, "Imsohungry"). But people on this site were so helpful, I have finally found a few things that work for a busy, gluten-free, hungry, non-cook. :P

Well, ya'll enjoy. And if I get a chance this weekend, I'll post a few more.

Blessings to you. -Julie B)

I forgot one thing...

I finally found Progresso at my Wal-mart. It was not at one Wal-mart near my house, but it was at the other.

Here's a thought: If Wal-mart carries it (but not near you), ask if the manager would be willing to order it for you. Obviously, the chain has the capability to carry it because my Wal-mart does...so if you find a helpful manager at Wal-mart, they may be willing to special order it. :huh::)

However, sometimes "Superstores" (i.e. Wal-mart) are not very helpful.

My other thought is this: Do you all have a Publix or Kroger near you?

My local Publix has been very helpful when trying to place special-orders, and Kroger has also offered to do the same.

I usually go to the Customer Service Desk and ask for a manager (or the person in charge of placing special orders). Make sure you get the name of who you speak with and the date you make the request...I usually call once a week to check on the item and let them know I'm seriously interested. :)

Hope this helps! -Julie B)

Julie, thanks so much! :) I have a Frys (kroger) across the street from me. I will look there for the soup.

Also, thanks gfinnebraska for the rice krispy recipe. I made them and they turned out great! My daughter even ate a piece of one! :D

Julie, I look forward to the other recipes! I wrote all the ones down that you posted so far and plan on making them for my family this week. :)

Hey Debbie (and everyone else reading this thread), B)

Do you have a crockpot or slowcooker??? It sounds like you do.

If so, I REALLY recommend the book:

"Fix-It and Forget It" slowcooker/crockpot cookbook by authors Ranck and Good

Many of the Recipes are naturally gluten-free, and many of the ones that are not can easily be modified. :)

In addition, a lot of the recipes only have a few ingredients and are EASY! ;)

The cookbook was fairly cheap too...I think I paid $12 for it at Wal-mart.

Blessings and good eating! :P -Julie

      Accuracy of testing concerns

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @McKinleyWY! There currently is no testing for celiac disease that does not require you to have been consuming generous amounts of gluten (at least 10g daily, about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least two weeks and, to be certain of accurate testing, longer than that. This applies to both phases...

      Accuracy of testing concerns

      Hello all, I was diagnosed at the age of 2 as being allergic to yeast. All my life I have avoided bread and most products containing enriched flour as they contain yeast (when making the man made vitamins to add back in to the flour). Within the last year or so, we discovered that even whole wheat products bother me but strangely enough I can eat...

      A little about me and my celiac disease

      I know what you mean. When I get glutened I have severe gut cramps and throw up for 2-3 hr. and then have diarrhea for another several hours. Avoid eating out if at all possible. It is the number one source of gluten contamination for us celiacs. When you are forced to eat out at a new restaurant that you are not sure is safe, try to order things that you...

      Accuracy of testing concerns

      Welcome to the forum, @McKinleyWY, For a genetic test, you don't have to eat gluten, but this will only show if you have the genes necessary for the development of Celiac disease.  It will not show if you have active Celiac disease.   Eating gluten stimulates the production of antibodies against gluten which mistakenly attack our own bodies.  The antibodies are produced in the small intestines.  Three grams of gluten are enough to make you feel sick and ramp up anti-gluten antibody production and inflammation for two years afterwards.  However, TEN grams of gluten or more per day for two weeks is required to stimulate anti-gluten antibodies' production enough so that the anti-gluten antibodies move out of the intestines and into the bloodstream where they can be measured in blood tests.  This level of anti-gluten antibodies also causes measurable damage to the lining of the intestines as seen on biopsy samples taken during an endoscopy (the "gold standard" of Celiac diagnosis).   Since you have been experimenting with whole wheat bread in the past year or so, possibly getting cross contaminated in a mixed household, and your immune system is still so sensitized to gluten consumption, you may want to go ahead with the gluten challenge.   It can take two years absolutely gluten free for the immune system to quit reacting to gluten exposure.   Avoiding gluten most if the time, but then experimenting with whole wheat bread is a great way to keep your body in a state of inflammation and illness.  A diagnosis would help you stop playing Russian roulette with your and your children's health.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @McKinleyWY! There currently is no testing for celiac disease that does not require you to have been consuming generous amounts of gluten (at least 10g daily, about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least two weeks and, to be certain of accurate testing, longer than that. This applies to both phases of testing, the blood antibody tests and the endoscopy with biopsy.  There is the option of genetic testing to see if you have one or both of the two genes known to provide the potential to develop celiac disease. It is not really a diagnostic measure, however, as 30-40% of the general population has one or both of these genes whereas only about 1% of the general population actually develops celiac disease. But genetic testing is valuable as a rule out measure. If you don't have either of the genes, it is highly unlikely that you can have celiac disease. Having said all that, even if you don't have celiac disease you can have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms as celiac disease but does not involve and autoimmune reaction that damages the lining of the small bowel as does celiac disease. Both conditions call for the complete elimination of gluten from the diet. I hope this brings some clarity to your questions.

      Hello all, I was diagnosed at the age of 2 as being allergic to yeast.  All my life I have avoided bread and most products containing enriched flour as they  contain yeast (when making the man made vitamins to add back in to the flour).  Within the last year or so, we discovered that even whole wheat products bother me but strangely enough I can eat gluten free bread with yeast and have no reactions.  Obviously, we have come to believe the issue is gluten not yeast.  Times continues to reinforce this as we are transitioning to a gluten free home and family.  I become quite ill when I consume even the smallest amount of gluten. How will my not having consumed breads/yeast/gluten for the better part of decades impact a biopsy or blood work?  I would love to know if it is a gluten intolerance or a genetic issue for family members but unsure of the results given my history of limited gluten intake.   I appreciate the input from those who have gone before me in experience and knowledge. Thank you all!

      I know what you mean. When I get glutened I have severe gut cramps and throw up for 2-3 hr. and then have diarrhea for another several hours. Avoid eating out if at all possible. It is the number one source of gluten contamination for us celiacs. When you are forced to eat out at a new restaurant that you are not sure is safe, try to order things that you can be sure will not get cross contaminated like a boiled egg, baked potatos, steamed vegies, fresh fruit. Yes, I know that doesn't sound as appetizing as pizza or a burger and fries but your health is at stake. I also realize that as a 14 year old you don't have a lot of control over where you eat out because you are tagging along with others or adults are paying for it. Do you have support from your parents concerning your need to eat gluten free? Do you believe they have a good understanding of the many places gluten can show up in the food supply?
