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!).

luvs2eat Collaborator

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!

      The easiest way to remember the difference between the cholesterol types is HDL;   H=healthy equals healthy (omega 3, 7, limit 6 & 9 MCFA'S =Medium Chain Fatty Acids. 3= coconut oil, 7= sunflower oil, avocado. The higher your HDL the healthier you are & less likely to experience strokes, clogged arteries Etc. You can even use cold expeller pressed coconut oil on your skin and that is the best kind of coconut oil to eat as well. You want your HDL much higher than your LDL, it will help you stay healthy.   LDL;    L=Lousy. Meat fats, processed fats.  The higher your LDL is the more likely you will have strokes, clogged artery is, heart disease, fatty liver.   Then there's lipids... they are the culprit to be blamed for many heart attacks and things like that they are very small round particles that transport fats. You can have a low overall cholesterol reading and most of it be healthy cholesterol and have a ton of lipids and there's nothing you can do to change the lipid count. High number of lipids is very dangerous.   I'm going on statins is extremely dangerous if you ask me it's just completely my opinion, because I have seen so many of my elderly friends bleed to death internally because of the statins. I mean you wouldn't take all the oil and grease out of your car or a motorcycle and then try to drive it that way would you? You see that's what statins do they remove all of your bodies fats and it doesn't matter whether it's healthy fats or a lousy fats. It removes all of them and then your body can't function properly. You have to have fats to keep your skin supple and to stay warm. Your body also needs fats to digest & process certain nutrients, amino acids & vitamins.   Your brain is composed of fat so is that something you really want to remove with a pill every morning and night?   The thing about statins is that they also make the blood vessels and capillaries permeable. So this is how my friends who were on cardiac medication for a long time and statins ended up bleeding internally to death.   If you want to make sure that your heart is healthy, take odorless garlic at night and magnesium, vitamin K & calcium.

      It's also a symptom of EPI.

      Yes.  Proportionately a small piece to a toddler is like a whole slice to an adult.  This is an important clue.  She was doing well, accidentally ate gluten and later the old behavior returned. I remember reading posts here of people reacting to a kiss from someone who had just eaten gluten. Recent research indicates that 40% of first degree relatives of someone with Celiac have undiagnosed Celiac Disease.  Father, mother, siblings.  There is a whole list of symtoms of "silent celiac".  Here is an article of symptoms possibly mistaken for other causes than Celiac Disease.  When I finally stopped gluten at 63 years old, I counted 19 things that improved, including lifelong mouthbreathing.  I never smelled bad things, so I as a kid, I learned to respond to the other kid's response in order to not seem weird. I really recommend you pursue testing for all the family if you can, and the whole family following GFD.  It is difficult at first, but the benefits will be worth it.

      I get these but where we are, they are called chicken potstickers. I would obviously suggest that it is the ginger in the product that is causing a stimulative digestive effect! So you might want to do what I do, just cook one of them with the rest of your meal so you don't have the same effect. I love the Feel Good products but they are on the expensive side. (I also drink Reed's ginger brew so in general, ginger is a friend of mine..when delivered at the right dose). Hope this helps and have a warm healthy week!

      Has anyone had Steatorrhea (oily/fatty poop) as a temporary glutening symptom or should I be concerned I've introduced chronic gluten somewhere (like in meds)? I haven't gotten Steatorrhea since before I went gluten free. However, I moved in the past few weeks and haven't been as careful - I've eaten at restauraunts with cross contamination but only experienced minor symptoms like headache. The past week, I ate only gluten free food at home except I went to Red Robin and got fries (told them gluten-free; allergy). The next day I had Steatorrhea and the day after that.   I know it's a symptom of malabsorption so I was wondering if it was the kind of thing that could be caused by one event or if it was due to a more chronic issue. Of course I will speak to a GI but I recently moved and need to find one.   Thank you for any info
