What's The Bread That's Inedible But Makes Good Stuffing?

Definitely a "Celiac rite of passage." {gag}

I haven't thought about stuffing yet this year. Since I hate to cook I may just make good old Stove Top for the family and skip the stuffing for me. Or make cornbread, which I love. We will see...

Ener-G = GAG!

I, my dear, am a true southerner. It doesn't get any more southern than Mississippi!

Make a pan of cornbread... use white corn meal and NO sugar. I make it the night before T'giving. Just wrap in foil and leave it on the counter.

Next day crumble the cornbread. Add enough chopped onion (raw) that you get at least one piece in every forkful.Add a little salt and enough black pepper to see the grains.

Stir in canned chicken broth or broth made from the neck and giblets of the turkey. You want it very moist but not soupy.

Don't stuff the turkey. Bake in a pan at 350 until golden, about an hour. Fifteen minutes before it is ready, drizzle with a little grease from the turkey.

This came down through my family.

Forget the plain bread. You will never miss it.

Forgive me, I am obviously not a southerner - but why is it that this sounds so un-good :unsure: to me??? Makes me tummy do little flip-flops :huh:

DON'T LIKE STUFFING??? The stuffing is my REASON for cooking a turkey!! When I could use good old Pepperidge Farm, I'd make tons and bake what didn't fit into the turkey in loaf pans. The best leftovers were a slice of stuffing w/ gravy! I've tried several recipes using bread and none have measured up. I've tried cornbread dressing several times and have never been happy w/ it! I now realize that I've not had it soupy enough and it's always come out very dry.

I don't like turkey either. My favorite Thanksgiving fodos are mashed potatoes and raw veggies.

Re Cornbread stuffing

It's American. Corn, tomatoes, potatoes, beans, squash, all are original native foods, as well as quinoa, amaranth, and some others. This sets off a drool reaction in me, and I'm not even Southern, altho I can cook a little that way. Cornbread is a traditional sort of bread that goes with country cooking in Appalachia and in the south, and it goes with barbecue a lot.

I had some of this once cooked a long time and slowly with oysters, and it was very good.

Wish I could easily find certified gluten free cornmeal in stores - just the cornmeal, not the mixes. But there's mail order.

Aha, that's why the flip-flops - no corn, tomatoes, potatoes, beans or quinoa for this gal. Green barf face, or more correctly, a-fib. Just serve me the oysters uncooked on the half shell :lol:

I guess I'm the only one who doesn't mind ener-g bread. I buy the "light tapioca" and now they have a new "corn loaf". It's not corn bread but a light bread. When you look at the calorie counts on most gluten-free breads, it's very difficult to fit into a Weight Watchers plan. The light tapioca is about 90 cal (I think) and on WW it counts as 1 point. The new corn loaf is 45 calories and 2 slices are 1 point. They are both fine toasted.

Well, someone must like it for the stuff to be everywhere. Count me out! I usually make cornbread stuffing.

I'm in NC and my mother made "dressing" what we call stuffing around here. Yellow cornmeal into cornbread, no sugar.

She crumbled it, added celery, onion, turkey broth, salt, pepper,sage and poultry seasons then baked.

This is the gluten-free stuffing recipe that I used last year and it was excellent. You can mix the cornbread yourself or Bob's now has a premixed cornbread packet. I mixed mine myself and the recipe is at the bottom. Enjoy!

I think I'll try the Ener-G bread and maybe make a small dish of cornbread dressing too.

Ha ha... I think Ener-G was the first gluten-free bread we all tried. As I loved making delicious and beautiful loaves of homemade bread before having to go gluten-free... I actually cried when I tasted it, thinking it would be my only option!

Thanks guys!!

Ironic, because I bought my 1st gluten-free bread today. It was Ener G Tapioca. I thought it was pretty good.

Daughter loves the corn loaf toasted and with butter, faux butter and maybe cinnamon and sugar. She loves the Rice Starch bread for sandwiches and also for toast. She will eat the tapioca if that's all we can get. It is readily available at most stores here.

I guess I found this place just in the nick of time. I was saved the rite of passage and never tried the Ener G breads. Though I bought some now for stuffing. It's my first time trying it. Hope it's good! Though with all the other stuff I put in the stuffing...probaby won't taste the bread! :lol:

lovin' this thread. Enr-G bread yuck-sharing...

but the package looks so neat and like it could be yummy...

who really eats and enjoys it? (ok, just read there are a few that like it--good for them and the company :)

Even my baby threw it down and made a bad face.

I only use my bread machine now to make breads. Love Anna's breads and

Gluten Free Pantry Sandwich bread....

Looking forward to trying one of these stuffing recipes!

Thanks for the helpful thread. My 1.5 year old was just diagnosed with Celiac and I've been hunting for a gluten free stuffing, particularly one without dairy and egg as well since my three year old is allergic to those. EnerG bread looks like the perfect solution (and, from what I read on here, only use it for stuffing!).

Well... I've got my Ener-G bread and will make an apple sausage stuffing w/ a combo of corn bread and the Ener-G. It'll be my 9th new stuffing recipe since being diagnosed. I'm completely changing it up rather than trying, in vain, to recreate my beloved Pepperidge Farm stuffing. I'm really hoping we (meaning I) fall in love w/ it so I'm not always disappointed in my Thanksgiving meal!

      Food Allergies

      By Ginger38 · Posted

      So I recently had allergy testing for IGE antibodies in response to foods. My test results came back positive to corn, white potatoes, egg whites. Tomatoes, almonds and peanuts to name a few.  I have had obvious reactions to a few of these - particularly tomatoes and corn- both GI issues. I don’t really understand all this allergy versus celiac stuff. If the food allergies are mild do I have to avoid these foods entirely? I don’t know what I will eat if I can’t  have corn based gluten free products

      Bread choice for a newbie

      By Kris2093u4 · Posted

      Geography makes a difference.  I'm in the West and Trader Joe's gluten-free bread tastes great and is a better price than most gluten-free breads sold elsewhere in my area.

      7yo struggling!

      By JForman · Posted

      We have four children (7-14 yo), and our 7 year old was diagnosed with NCGS (though all Celiac labs were positive, her scope at 4 years old was negative so docs in the US won't call it celiac). We have started her on a Gluten Free diet after 3 years of major digestive issues and ruling out just about everything under the sun. Our home and kitchen and myself are all gluten-free. But I have not asked my husband/her dad or her other siblings to go completely gluten-free with us. They are at home, but not out of the home. This has led to situations when we are eating out where she has to consistently see others eating things she can't have and she has begun to say "Well, I can't have <fill in the blank>...stupid gluten."  How have you supported your gluten-free kiddos in the mental health space of this journey, especially young ones like her. I know it's hard for me as an adult sometimes to miss out, so I can't imagine being 7 and dealing with it! Any tips or ideas to help with this?

      My mo,ther married a bread making when I was 4

      By the time I was 5 I had my first auto0immune disorder, Migraine headaches, with auras to blind me, and vomiting, sensitivity to light and sound. I was 5 years old, and my stepfather would have pizza night, milling his own flour, making thick cheesy gluten pizza, that I would eat and the next day, I would have serious migraines, and my mother & stepfather did nothing about my medical problems. When I was 17 in my first year at college, I was diagnosed with my 2nd known auto-immune disorder, Meniere's disease. I was a elite athlete, a swimmer, and soccer player. And once again my parents didn't think anything of understanding why I had a disorder only older people get. Now after my mother passed from Alzheimer's disease she also suffered with living with gluten. She had a rash for 30 years that nobody could diagnose. She was itchy for 45 years total. My brother had a encapsulated virus explodes in his spleen and when this happened his entire intestines were covered with adhesions, scar tissue and he almost lost his life. He has 5 daughters, and when I finally was diagnosed after being pregnant and my body went into a cytokine storm, I lost my chance to have children, I ended up having Hashimoto's disease, Degenerative Disc disease, and my body started to shut down during my first trimester. I am 6ft tall and got down to 119lbs. My husband and I went to a special immunologist in Terrace, California. They took 17 vials of blood as we flew there for a day and returned home that evening. In 3 weeks, we had the answer, I have Celiac disease. Once this was known, only my father and husband made efforts to change their way of feeding me. At the family cabin, my stepfather & mother were more worried that I would ruin Thanksgiving Dinner. It wasn't until one of my cousins was diagnosed with Celiac disease. They finally looked into getting Gluten Free flour and taking measures to limit "gluten" in meals. He did nothing but ask for me to pay for my own food and wi-fi when I came to the cabin to stay after our house burned down. When he informed my mother, they proceeding to get into a physical fight and she ended up with a black eye. The is just more trauma for me. Sam had no interest in telling the truth about what he wanted. He lied to my mother that he had asked my husband if I could pay for "food" when he asked Geoffrey if I had money to pay for my wi-fi. My mother hates when he spends so much time on the computer so he lied and said I could pay for my own food. I will remind you I weighed 119lbs at this time. (At 6ft) that is a very sick looking person. Neither parent was worried about my weight, they just fought about how cheap my stepfather was. As my mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease in 2014. He had her sign over the will to a trust and added his children. He had no testimonial capacity at the time, so she signed without proper papers. Making this Trust null and void. When I gave my brother my childhood home, my mother stated I would be getting an equal part of inheritance to the house on Race. It currently worth 2.0 million $. I got nothing, and my stepfather has since disowned me b/c of my claim and he knows that my mother would never have left it uneven between my biological brother and myself. She sat me and my husband down, as we lived at the Race Street house and treated and took care of it as our own. My brother took over b/c he was going through a horrific divorce and needed a home so he could get a better custody deal with his soon to be ex-wife who was a Assist DA for Denver. She used the girls against him, and he & I were the primary caregivers. We, Judd and I spent the most time with them pre the divorce. Once Judd moved into the house, he threw all of my mother, grandmother and my family heirlooms out to the Goodwill. Nobody told my mother about this as she was going through cancer treatment and had Alzheimer's disease in her mother and her sister. My stepfather and biological brother took advantage of this matter, as I called a "family council" that my brother just never could make it to at the last moment. All of the furnishing, kitchen ware, everything was in the house my brother just moved into. He had had 2 weddings, I chose to elope b/c my stepfather ruined my brother's first wedding by talking about his relationship with my brother in front of my dad and his entire family, insulting him and having my grandfather leave the ceremony. It was a disaster. My stepfather just plays dumb and blames my father for the slight. I was the only child not to have a wedding. So, my mother and stepfather never had to pay for a thing. My mother had had an agreement with my father he'd pay for college and all medical issues with their kids, myself and Judd. So truly my mother never had to pay for anything big for me in her entire life. I am looking for anyone that has had a similar story, where they grew up in a household that had a baker that regularly milled flour and ate gluten. What happened to you? DId you suffer from different auto-immune diseases b/c of living with a baker using "gluten" Please let me know. I have been looking into legal ways to get my stepfather to give me what my mother had promised, and he erased. Thank you for listening to my story. Jane Donnelly

      Blood results

      By trents · Posted

      Possibly gluten withdrawal. Lot's of info on the internet about it. Somewhat controversial but apparently gluten plugs into the same neuro sensors as opiates do and some people get a similar type withdrawal as they do when quitting opiates. Another issue is that gluten-free facsimile flours are not fortified with vitamins and minerals as is wheat flour (in the U.S. at least) so when the switch is made to gluten-free facsimile foods, especially if a lot of processed gluten-free foods are being used as substitutes, vitamin and mineral deficiencies can result. There is also the possibility that she has picked up a virus or some but that is totally unrelated to going gluten-free.
