Our main meal of the day is lunch. I'm going to throw together some fried rice from leftover roast and frozen veggies. I always include the egg and make it spicy like my college roommate from Thailand did.

I love that pesto pizza. I discovered it when I was unable to eat tomatos for a year (travesty!) and fell in love with it. I put onion and sausage on top of it. The tomato sauce one is ok but just tastes like any regular pizza. That pesto one is just outstanding. I plan on trying to replicate it with chebe. Oh, I love Chebe.....

Speaking of which, dinner tonight was Chebe pigs in a blanket (known around here as Chebe dogs) and fresh cucumber with my homemade yogurt ranch dressing. Mmmmm...

Agree. The tom sauce one needs tweaking (pepperoni for the hubs, bacon and carmelized onions for me) but the onion & sausage on the pesto sounds good. Chebe dogs, eh? I haven't had a dog in years...maybe it's time? :)

For Chebe pizza, I do a 4-cheese white ZA (as we call it)--an olive oil swish over it, then, ricotta, mozz, smoked provolone and shaved parm and some steamed broccoli and roasted garlic.

OOH baby.

Huh. Looks like I'm having pizza tonight....

For the Chebe dogs- I like Trader Joe's natural beef hot dogs. When wrapping the dough around the dog (also better when the dough is made with mozz, softer) I break the dough into thirds and only use two thirds of the batch to wrap around the dogs (eight dogs). If you use the whole thing then you have to close the circle around the dogs, and you wind up with this wierd 'tube' of chebe and the dog falls out. It's better when you shape the chebe more like a bun and don't close the circle on the top. Leftover dough either gets baked in the pan for breakfast or thrown in a baggie in the freezer. Chebe dough freezes quite well.

It's just me tonight (husband on business trip) so am having spicy beef on beet chip "tacos" with Pecorino. Simple green salad with a gorgeous grapefruit white balsamic vinaigrette and toasted pecans.

I'll just have to get some beef dogs and try this. I like the Applegate farms meats (no TJ's here yet) Thanks, Bun :)

We had giant burgers and sweet potato fries at the gluten-free cafe near us today for lunch (can you say STUFFED? :blink: ) so, dinner will be LIGHT:

Chicken salad (I make mine with dried cranberries, celery, onion, walnuts and diced apples)

on a bed of greens.

And maybe some blueberries.

That chicken salad sounds delicious (minus the onions).

Chicken with soy sauce, fries and salad tonight. Not very creative!

My daughter has a pizza and cupcake thing to go to tonight so I made pizza with Udi's crusts (hope they taste ok), chicken Italian sausage and brownies from Bob's Red Mill in the mini muffin pan.

LOVEY! I love that you still treat yourself-- as you should--even when you are (temporarily) cooking for one. I GET that! ;)

Cheers, hon!!

Take the onion out and it still works! (I only do it for the contrast taste--the sweet vadalia or red onion, but it is it not essential)

And hon..."CREATIVE" happens EVERY time you cook!!

You create something from nothing, right? RIGHT !! :)

See, hon--I told you this would get easier! And you're being schooled by some real masters here!! It's like going to the CIA (Culinary Institute of America) for free! (or the Canadian equivalent)

Glad to see you're doing better. ;)

and NO croutons!! :lol:

How did your consomme turn out?

It was gonna be great till the dairy came into the picture :o

You can work around it, I do!!.... and it may just be temporary!!

I don't think there is dairy in it or the braised sirloin tips it goes with. I don't know. I seem to be a bit confused. Going to bed. Sorry.

Did someone say BROWNIES...yummmm, sooo jealous!! Guess we know what I'm doing tomorrow! Lol making brownies!! ?

Congrats on her trophy! and congrats to YOU for making her day so special!

Hon, you guys have got to stop thinking of the food you eat as "different". Who's to say it's not THEIR food that's different!!

No need to explain anything to anyone.

YOU guys eat healthy. :)

Glad you guys has a GREAT day!!! yaaay!!!!

At home it's easy, we have our food and we are good to go, but she has little 5 year olds telling her that she is different and laughing at her so it's hard when we deal with her and situations with food. My husband and I were bullied as kids and I hate seeing it happen to her over something as stupid as food. Worse things in life though.

Kids can be cruel, but they do not know any better.

I know this is hard sometimes, sweetie, but in the end, as long as SHE does not think it is "weird" or "different", she can just blow it off.

I commend you for all you are doing: going back to school, raising your kids well and re-learning how to cook gluten-free for your family.

You're doing a great job.

Maybe you can advise her to say that she has special food that gives her super powers and she can make bullies like her/him jump out of her life. And report it to authorities, if it's a school/church situation. If a neighbor, explain the situation to the parent in a non-judgmental way...and don't associate with that child again.

Even though she does not have the power, let her believe she does. Kinda like the Darth Vader kid on the commercial. Make her special. :) Which she already is, in a very good way. She'll be the healthiest young lady around. ;)

I hate bullies too! Sally Cameron, I will find you and tell you how you made my life better. ;)

It's her sports team through the local athletic association. We actually homeschool her because it was happening in her preschool last year.

I love the idea of the super powers...thank you.

I am making taco pizzas for dinner tonight... I use Udis pizza crust and use salsa and refried beans mixed together as the sauce...Load it with veges, taco meat and cheese. Bake it and add lettuce and crushed corn chips on top...It's one of my favorites!!!

      @Mynx, how long have you been gluten-free? I ask because many newly diagnosed celiacs react to many things, and often think their reactions are caused by gluten, when in fact, they are really caused by a combination of a sensitive gut due to damage, as well as additional food intolerance/leaky gut issues to other foods which may be temporary until their villi heal.

      Many major brands of distilled vinegar in the USA, including Heinz white vinegar, are typically made from corn. In the United States, corn is a common and cost-effective raw material used in the production of distilled white vinegar. The process involves fermenting the sugars derived from corn into alcohol, which is then further fermented into acetic acid to produce vinegar. Distillation follows, which purifies the liquid and removes impurities, including any residual proteins or allergens. While the source of the vinegar (e.g., corn) is not always explicitly stated on the label, corn-derived vinegar is widely used in the food industry due to its neutral flavor and affordability. For individuals with gluten intolerance or celiac disease, distilled vinegar made from corn is generally considered safe, as the distillation process effectively removes gluten proteins. However, if you have concerns about cross-contamination or specific sensitivities, it’s always a good idea to contact the manufacturer directly to confirm the sourcing and production practices. Heinz, for example, has stated that their distilled white vinegar is gluten-free and safe for those with celiac disease, but verifying this information can provide additional peace of mind. The belief that distilled vinegar is gluten-free is rooted in the scientific understanding that gluten proteins, which are large and complex molecules, are generally too big to pass through the distillation process. Distillation involves heating a liquid to create vapor, which is then condensed back into a liquid form, leaving behind larger molecules like gluten proteins. However, the concern about cross-contamination arises from the possibility that gluten-containing ingredients may have been present in the liquid prior to distillation. While the distillation process itself is highly effective at removing gluten, the equipment used in production could potentially introduce trace amounts of gluten if not thoroughly cleaned between batches. For most individuals with gluten sensitivity or celiac disease, distilled vinegar is considered safe because the gluten content, if any, is typically below the threshold that would trigger a reaction. However, for those with extreme gluten intolerance or celiac disease, even trace amounts can cause adverse effects. This is why some individuals, like yourself, may choose to avoid commercially produced distilled vinegar and opt for alternatives like apple cider vinegar, which can be verified as gluten-free. The meticulous process of researching ingredients and preparing homemade products, such as ketchup, is indeed challenging but crucial for maintaining health and avoiding gluten exposure. It’s important to note that regulatory standards for gluten-free labeling vary by region, and in many places, products labeled "gluten-free" must contain less than 20 parts per million (ppm) of gluten, which is considered safe for the vast majority of people with celiac disease. Nonetheless, individual sensitivity levels can vary, and your approach highlights the importance of personalized dietary management for those with severe gluten intolerance.

      I have been diagnosed with Microscopic Colitis (LC) for quite a few years, so I have been gluten-free and DF.  I would like to get tested for Celiac Disease because of the possibility of cross contamination and colon cancer.  And if you were hospitalized and didn't have a celiac diagnosis you could not get gluten-free food, I don't know if that is true or not.  Also because there is chance of colon cancer so I want to know if I have Celiac Disease and need to be on very restrictive diet.  The only testing I did was a sigmoid scope and Enter Lab but no gene testing.  I know I can go back to eating gluten for a few months, but I would worry you would have to stay home for the few months while getting gluten.  What other options do I have?  Should I do the gene testing?  Maybe through Entero Lab?  Any other tests?  How important is it to have Celiac diagnosed? Thank you! Barb

      Take it easy! I was just prompting you for some clarification.  In the distillation process, the liquid is boiled and the vapor descends up a tube and condenses into another container as it cools. What people are saying is that the gluten molecules are too large and heavy to travel up with the vapor and so get left behind in the original liquid solution. Therefore, the condensate should be free of gluten, no matter if there was gluten in the original solution. The explanation contained in the second sentence I quoted from your post would not seem to square with the physics of the distillation process. Unless, that is, I misunderstood what you were trying to explain.
    • Mynx
      No they do not contradict each other. Just like frying oil can be cross contaminated even though the oil doesn't contain the luten protein. The same is the same for a distilled vinegar or spirit which originally came from a gluten source. Just because you don't understand, doesn't mean you can tell me that my sentences contradict each other. Do you have a PhD in biochemistry or friends that do and access to a lab?  If not, saying you don't understand is one thing anything else can be dangerous to others.
