Keeping My Casseroles Outside

I'm making a potato casserole and a squash casserole Thanksgiving morning. I need to make them in advance because I won't have room in the oven to heat them (making 2 ducks) so I want them cooked in advance so I can microwave them. They have eggs in them but again they will be fully cooked. Can I keep them outside if it's supposed to be 46 degrees. I won't have any room in my refrigerator for them.

Thanks and Have a Happy and Healthy gluten-free Thanksgiving,

Loey

I don't think that would be safe. Too warm. Do you have a cooler so you could put ice and the casseroles in it?

Why is measuring the temperature of food important? Because microorganisms (germs, bacteria, and viruses) that can cause foodborne illness grow best on foods in the temperature danger zone. The temperature danger zone includes the temperatures between 45 and 140 degrees Fahrenheit on a food thermometer. Food should be in this temperature range for no more than a total of four hours. This total includes the time food spends in the shopping cart, in the car, waiting to be put away, in preparation, cooking, waiting to be served, and cooling before storage. The rule of thumb is that after food has been prepared and served, it should never sit out for more than two hours before it is put away in the refrigerator or freezer.

I think it's too warm too. Even a box with ice in it and wrapped in a big blanket would work. Can you not use crock-pots for these two items?

Thank you Dixiebell, Patti, and Cypressmyst, Jerseyangel and everyone else who replied. I don't want to poison my family on the holidays (or any time). I actually gave my hubby food poisoning on our anniversary one year. I might have room for the potato casserole in the fridge once I take the ducks out to cook and I could just make the squash in the microwave as it's more for me (I can't eat potatoes) than them. I'm a little overwhelmed because my son brought home four loads of laundry and I also have all of the cooking to do. Luckily it's just the three of us so I really shouldn't be stressing. Tonight it's just mac and cheese (another thing I can't eat). I might try to make a small portion with goat cheese because I was told that doesn't affect people with a dairy problem.

Hope you have a happy and healthy gluten-free Thanksgiving

Lo! My boys have been helping with their laundry since they were 3! Completely doing their laundry since about 10 years old. Sometimes I help, yes. They might put a load in before school and if I think about , I will move it to the dryer. Or they were doing yard work and cleaning so I moved the laundry along.

I know. I'm a total enabler and if I had it all over to do again things would have been different. I had him when I was 40 and was so thrilled to even have a child that he was a "wee" bit pampered by Klark and I.

Other than the laundry he's turned out to be a pretty fine young adult with a nice set of values. We were discussing sex on the ride home (we're pretty open with him) and he said that if that was all he was looking for he would have had it by now. He's more interested in a relationship and how the girl feels. So, I think I'll do the laundry and be happy for who he is. I also have to admit I love doing things for him. He will eventually face the cold cruel world and realize all of the things he needs to do for himself.

Thanksgiving (((HUGS)))

      New onset constant gas

      By HilaryM · Posted

      Hi all, I’ve been following a strict gluten-free diet for 1.5 years since I was diagnosed. The last few weeks though I’ve suffered almost continual bloated stomach and flatulence. It literally is almost constant - and I was never this way before. I can’t think of any change to my diet, activity, etc. I’m dying - it’s so uncomfortable and embarrassing to feel like I have zero control over this. Any ideas? Thank you!

      Refractory or super sensitive?

      @Levi, How are you doing?  Sorry I missed your posts.   How's your thyroid?  Did your Vitamin D stabilize?  Do you have long hauler syndrome after Covid? Consider switching to Vitamin D 3, the natural form of Vitamin D.  Vitamin D 2 is the synthetic form of Vitamin D which the body can have difficulty changing to an active form.  Also, Thiamine is needed to active Vitamin D.   Hypothyroidism can be caused by Thiamine deficiency.  The thyroid is an organ that uses lots of thiamine.  sometimes thyroid deficiency can also cause hyperthyroidism, or swings between both hyper- and hypo-thyroidism. We need more Thiamine when we're sick with an infection (like Covid) or injured.  We need more Thiamine when we're physically active.  We need more Thiamine when we're emotionally stressed or worried.  Our brain uses the more Thiamine just thinking than our muscles do while running a marathon.  Thiamine is extremely important in fighting infections.  Covid patients and long haulers have found taking Thiamine has improved their survival rate and long term symptoms.   Consider taking a Thiamine supplement like Benfotiamine which has been scientifically shown to promote intestinal healing.  Damaged villi need thiamine to grow back.   Be sure to take a magnesium supplement, too.  Thiamine and magnesium make life sustaining enzymes together.  You also need magnesium to keep calcium in the bones.  The thyroid regulates calcium.  A wonky thyroid can lead to reduced bone density.   Remember the B vitamins all work together in concert so adding a B Complex to Benfotiamine and magnesium supplements and Vitamin C would be great in improving absorption of nutrients while we're dealing with celiac disease.

      Gluten free and oat free bars not sugary?

      By lizzie42 · Posted

      I'm looking for bars or non perishable snacks for my 2 kids. They are 5 and 3. The 3 year old seems sensitive to oats also. We do a lot of long hikes and bike rides. They eat mostly fresh foods but for these rides and hikes we need easy and non perishable. Also that taste good! We do a lot of larabars and freeze dried apples but those are getting old. Any ideas?

      Inflammation and Menier’s disease link?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Oh, @MagsM, Sorry you had that happen with Niacin.  500mg is the maximum amount of Niacin one should take.  Niacin works hand in hand with Thiamine, so a big influx like that can imbalance thiamine if not supplemented at the same time.  All the B vitamins work together in concert.  Niacin in doses at 500 mg or above have been used by doctors to lower triglycerides levels and raise HDL, the good cholesterol.  Pharmaceuticals to do the same thing are more expensive and thus more profitable for physicians. Has your doctor tested you for H. Pylori?  An infection by H. Pylori can be tested for by your doctor.  H. Pylori can cause low tTg IgA results, too.   I would hold off on the microbiome test for now.  Your microbiome is going to change when you go gluten free.  Your microbiome will change when you start taking Thiamine.  Thiamine supplementation influences which microbes grow in the intestines, encouraging beneficial bacteria and getting rid of the bad ones.  Thiamine in the form Benfothiamine promotes intestinal healing, too.  Adopting the Autoimmune Protocol Diet (by Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, a Celiac herself) after diagnosis will also change your microbiome.  This is the best diet to heal and recover, IMO.   If you're going to have more testing done for vitamin deficiencies, don't take vitamin supplements beforehand, otherwise the tests will measure the vitamin supplements in your bloodstream and give false results.  Same thing will happen if you take B vitamin shots.  The supplements you mentioned (Arterosil HP and Vascanox HP) are herbal support and do not contain all eight B vitamins.  There's no harm in taking them, but I prefer a B Complex that contains all the B vitamins in activated forms like Life Extension's Bioactive Complete B Complex.  All the B vitamins work together in concert.  Magnesium is important to supplement as thiamine and magnesium make life sustaining enzymes together.  Do not buy supplements containing Thiamine Mononitrate because it is not biologically active.  It is very hard for the body to utilize.  Most of it (70%) passes out unused.    Yes, my Meniere's disease has not returned.  I was deficient in Vitamin D.  I took high doses of Vitamin D 3 to correct the deficiency quickly.  I also took TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) which is a form of thiamine different from Benfotiamine.  TTFD can cross the blood brain barrier without a carrier, so it can get into the brain very easily.  TTFD helps the Vagus nerve function.  The Vagus nerve regulates the ears and balance, and also the digestive system.  I like Allithiamine by Ecological Formulas.  I also like Thiamax by Objective Nutrients.  You should have improvements within a hour with TTFD.  TTFD is much stronger, so lower doses will give amazing benefits (50-200 mg).   I hope this helps give you some direction to take on your journey!

      Thank you so much for this in depth analysis. I am currently taking Vit D3/K2 5000IU daily.i started taking a flushing Niacin but foolishly took a 500mg tab and nearly passed out! I have just ordered a gut microbiome genome test and it will be interesting to see what my current balance of microbes are. After I finish diagnosis I will definitely go gluten free. Diagnosis will inform exactly how strict I’ll need to be regarding cross contamination etc. my focus will be on healing the gut. I have also been focusing on the oral microbiome - cutting out FL and using more natural products as well as daily oil pulling. I read from some of your other forum entries about Benfothiamine and I’ll definitely order that. I’ll make sure my doc orders more detailed vitamin and mineral panel plus total IGA as well as the DGP-IGA and DGP-IGG tests. We will see if I can get the endoscopic biopsy done. Do you think I should request Vitamin B shots to get me started?  My daily vitamin protocol will likely be VitD/K2 5000IU, Benfothiamin 300x2, Niacin (flushing) 50mg working up to 300mg. I also take a EPA/DHA as well as some vascular support (Arterosil HP and Vascanox HP) as well as Magnesium at night. Which B complex brand do you like? I will see what the gut microbiome test comes back with. I’m sure they will try to sell me pre/probiotics and maybe some digestive enzymes. What are you thought on those? I’m curious if you managed to go into full remission from your Ménière’s disease? Thank you so much for your thoughtful insight. I know that building back up my gut health and immune health will help in so many ways as well as protecting me from many other major diseases as I go into my 60s and beyond.
