I am making taco salad tonight. :)

I'm kind of not digging Pace salsa anymore. Anyone know of any good ones?

We like Herdez

I'm having Tinkyada brown rice spaghetti-style pasta with doctored-up ready-made spaghetti sauce that I've had stashed in my freezer in single serving sizes. Yum! This time I'm trying the quick cook

This weekend I made Gumbo for the first time, from Emeril's cook book. I used Bisquick gluten-free Mix and it made a roux just fine, although I got a bit impatient stirring and stirring....but well w

I thought it might be fun if we had a thread where we shared what we're cooking up for dinner:) I am not an experienced cook so coming up with gluten free menus for me and my boyfriend feels like a challenge. It's also weird since I only started eating meat since my diagnosis, so I have 0 experience preparing meat.

Tonight I'm going to try that Tinkyada spiral pasta with some gluten-free pasta sauce and gluten-free meatballs I got from TJ's.

I love Tinkyada brown ride spiral pasta. I like to stir fry some zucchini, onions and red peppers and then put it in with the pasta sauce and pasta. It makes a great fast meal

On tonight's menu is gluten free nitrate free lamb sausages, baked sweet potatoes, boiled cauliflower and cabbage salad. For the cabbage salad I chop green cabbage, green onions, fresh cilantro, diced avocado and mix with lemon juice, sea salt and olive oil. Simple really.

FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! b%$@#slap2.gif

I have to disagree with you here! Wolfie is always eating her broccoli and stews. If, once a week, she wants to eat cake only for a meal.....I say ENJOY! No one thinks its odd to eat pancakes for a meal. Not much diference in my mind.

Dad! Karen is being a poopyhead again!!!!!!!!!

You guys are so helpful :)

In all seriousness, i do eat quite a bit of protien every day (anything from meat to peanut butter to cheese, etc).

Okay, hon. Sorry, not meant as a nag. it's the teacher/mama hen in me. Your brain needs protein and I know you're working hard this semester!

Just for moment there I thought Irish was going to wow us with a bacon cake recipe, thus fulfilling all our cake and protein requirements in one easy step.

I may not be eating it at the moment, but I am certainly pro cake. :)

You know I love bacon. BaconEmote.gif

You know I love cake. cake-smiley-emoticon.gif

I do not really think I want them together. dunno-smiley-emoticon.gif

Maybe I'm wrong and it tastes great, but I'm just not that intrigued by it.

Hubby added bacon to one of my choc cakes with fudge frosting - it was one cake I was not sad to miss ;)

Oh dinner - I'm tired and grumpy so Ralph Soup encores for them - zunoodles and meat of some sort for me.

Lemon cake is still calling my name - I wish it would stop!

I think my hormones are all out of whack lately, one day I desperately want a donut

(the soft kind with chocolate icing....) and then it's pizza and then it's pasta alfredo

and then the next day it's something else. I'd think I was pregnant if that were physically

possible..... :ph34r:

Dinner tonight: Homemade chicken soup, also Chebe and some cheddar. Chebe

definitely makes being grain free a LOT easier.... I wake up every day and remind

myself, 'At least you still have dairy. At least you still have dairy.' It helps!

Hmmm. Trying not to think about dinner. Been sick today, could be bug, period stuff or the big g. Whichever, I don't have any of my normal go to foods so a bit stuck. Cooked some rice, but don't fancy it yet. Maybe egg later. I think it may be my own fault for raising the bacon cake thing, eugh.

Still cheerful, broadly, but a bit less smug :(

oh no, sorry, hon. :unsure:Hope you feel better today! Probably just a bug of some sort?

I'm going with some homemade turkey soup today.

No rice or noodles though, just vegs.

The hubs has decided he wants to lose 20 lbs. (he has a bit of "middle" from the holidays)

and since he works out religiously at the gym, it must have come from all the festivities.

Since I still need to lose my "freshman 30" (i.e. "hello, your gut is absorbing now, so watch out--oops, too late!")

looks like we're sticking to the whole 30-ish plan. One exception: the occasional bowl of gluten-free oats.

I love them, I just got them back ........ and I'm not giving them up. :D No booze, no legumes, no dairy, no other grains and no high histamine foods does not leave me with much else. to choose from, so I'm "punting" a lot.

We push on!

Ah, hormones! Tried some rice, so fingers crossed. I was going to reintroduce Friday, so not a very clean day to try, but with 2 little ones due home gotta do something....

I think I will try gluten-free oats in a few weeks, I would love those back. Really pleased for you IH.

You folks here never cease to be an inspiration. Your stories of strength and recovery are amazing. (I can always blame the hormones for gushing a bit...)

Not sure if us dinosaur types are inspiring---- or just plain stubborn and unwilling to accept NO! for an answer. <_< :lol: In my case, I go by the "plan B, C, D or even E" rule in life

BTW: I noticed you added the Albert Einstein quote to your sig line. We're fans in this house.

And that's a good one!!

My other fave is 'Imagination is more important than knowledge'. And he was a fellow dyslexic, so bonus points there too. And stubborn is good.

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      Thanks much Scott.  Well said, and heeded.   I don't have Celiac, which is fortunate.

      Possible celiac - need advice

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Do you have the results of your endoscopy? Did you do a celiac disease blood panel before that?  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Celiac or not??

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It is odd that your Tissue Transglutaminase (TTG) IgA level has bounced from the "inconclusive" range (7.9, 9.8) down to a negative level (5.3), only to climb back up near the positive threshold. This inconsistency, coupled with your ongoing symptoms of malabsorption and specific nutrient deficiencies, is a strong clinical indicator that warrants a more thorough investigation than a simple "satisfactory" sign-off. A negative blood test does not definitively rule out celiac disease, especially with such variable numbers and a classic symptomatic picture. You are absolutely right to seek a second opinion and push for a referral to a gastroenterologist. A biopsy remains the gold standard for a reason, and advocating for one is the most direct path to getting the answers you need to finally address the root cause of your suffering.

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      There is a distinction between gluten itself and the other chemicals and processing methods involved in modern food production. Your experience in Italy and Greece, contrasted with your reactions in the U.S., provides powerful anecdotal evidence that the problem, for some people, may not be the wheat, but the additives like potassium bromate and the industrial processing it undergoes here. The point about bromines displacing iodine and disrupting thyroid function is a significant one, explaining a potential biological mechanism for why such additives could cause systemic health issues that mimic gluten sensitivity. It's both alarming and insightful to consider that the very "watchdog" agencies meant to protect us are allowing practices banned in many other developed countries. Seeking out European flour and your caution about the high-carb, potentially diabeticgenic nature of many gluten-free products are excellent practical takeaways from your research, but I just want to mention--if you have celiac disease you need to avoid all wheat, including all wheat and gluten in Europe.

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      @Scott Adams That's actually exactly what I ended up asking for— vodka tonic with Titos.  I saw on their website that Tito's is certified gluten-free (maybe many of the clear vodkas are, I don't know, I just happened to look up Tito's in advance). I should have actually specified the 'splash' though, because I think with the amount of tonic she put in there, it did still end up fairly sweet.  Anyway, I think I've almost got this drink order down!
