Do you want the recipe?  its really quick and tasty.  But I don't remember what people can and can't eat - it has salsa and potatoes in it.

I'm sure someone will use the recipe if you post it. It does sound yummy.

 

Last night: chicken and wild rice soup (from a can)

Tonight: cilantro lime chicken soup (from a can)

 

Why? Because what I thought was worse than usual allergies because my husband was hanging out with his cat turned out to be a cold.... that actually turned out to be the flu. And I work like 12 days a year and this is the only time ever I've had to work 3 in a row and magically I choose now to get sick. World's. Best. Timing. I'm being super careful, not breathing on students, using enough hand sanitizer to choke a donkey. They're adult students, not kids, so no one panic.

I still want nothing but soup and frankly don't have money to throw at cans of soup every day. Not that I have a choice, but I don't want to cook either. I'm going to just pick up some already cut up veggies, throw them in a pot with some chicken and stock and boil some rice a bag. Bam! Dinner for the weekend. I'm frankly too sick to give a crap what my husband eats. He's a grown up, he'll figure something out. Or starve. Whichever. Either way, I'll be asleep all weekend so it won't affect me one way or the other.

" White" chili - actually it's more beige with yellow and red flecks ( corn and red pepper)

me too - minus the veggies - i put stewed tomatoes over mine :)  comfort food for me!  after tonight's plan was tacos w/the grand kids but the meat was bad!  it had an expiration of 10/31.....  WHAT?  ground beef!  i bought iton monday, never checked the date until the package started expanding.  how can 'fresh' meat keep until 10/31 :o

 

anyways, hubs and kids had chinese take-out and i had leftover mac & chz.  i love the stuff.  if i was stuck on a desert island, i hope i was shipwrecked on a macaroni boat with a cow and a chicken and a giant tomato...........  i'll be all like:  "look, cow and chicken, another piece of the macaroni boat has washed ashore, but don't tell giant tomato!"

Mac and cheese with stewed tomatoes is awesome!!! They used to serve that at the school I went to and I loved it so much. I was the only person who would do double lunch tickets that day, most people just had milk or milk and fruit.

 

Good luck with the not getting sick thing. Didn't work out for me, so you can have my leftover luck that clearly I didn't use.

Know what's the most insulting? Based on when I started feeling sick, I'm 99% confident I picked it up at the Expo. <_< I am 100% sure there were irresponsible people there who didn't belong there. Someone in line early had a lady join them with her daughter who wasted no time in proudly stating she had pink eye. My immediate thought was "what the holy hell is she doing here?!?!" :blink:

 

Note to self: get flu shot before next year's expo. I guess the bright side is I'm getting this whole being sick thing out of the way early this year. :mellow:

I have posted the Cowboy Steak soup recipe.  I thought it might be nice to make a place we could post soup and chili recipes.  Newbies might like it too.  I put the brand name of the things I used that might have gluten - like broth.  Thought that might make it easier.  I made my recipe with a bit more description that I might usually give.  I know we get people who haven't cooked much so I didn't want to scare them.

The soup my hub wants when he is sick - Noodles cooked in chicken broth.  Youngest son likes some rice in chicken broth.  Sometimes I will sneak a few shredded carrots in while the rice or noodles are cooking.

There are 2 things my dad can cook and wants to cook for himself -  One involves hot dogs and thinly sliced potatoes in a casserole.  the other is a box of mac and cheese, cooked hamburger and a can of stewed tomatoes.

Great idea for the soups and chili thread. I'll cut and paste a few there.

and kudos on posting a pic. Cupcakes look de-lish!!

 

The Atlanta brisket I made (I saw it on Cook's country) was really good and the meat was fork tender.I served it with smashed potatoes and steamed English peas.

Thursday, it made a delicious brisket sammy on the rolls I had made earlier in the week with a horseradish cream sauce and a cup of the escarole and white bean soup I had made Tuesday (in other words, it was "encore night") :D

Friday was homemade pizza.

Tonight could be lobster or some hogfish (which is a delicate, mild white fish that is just awesome) but the hubs is not into fish, so he'll get scallops. We'll see what the fish market is doing today. Probably pair that with some caribbean rice and Karen's favorite--haricots verts.

 

P>S> I have never been a fan of mac and cheese with tomatoes. No offense, all those who love it.

We all have our taste preferences.

My mom hates cheese (I know,I often wonder if I am adopted) and my dad loved the mac and cheese with toms) so we never even got mac and cheese that much as  kids. We had to go mooch at someone else's house for it.

My MIL made it with tomatoes. I found it ....blech.

notme Experienced

tonight i think will be:  tacos, take TWO lolz - i have ground venison in the freezer.  i guess they can keep their never- expiring cow meat *shudder* 

 

unless i get another Great Idea for Dinner.  omgosh, i am having the worst craving for stromboli  :( 

 

i got glutened last weekend (eating out, "untrained" people staying with us, who knows from what) but it feels different - not so many digestive issues as balance/co-ordination, muscle ache, fatigue.  wierdddd.....  my headache went away almost immediately.   oh, and cranky as all get-out:  you should hear what i'm not saying out loud (shut up, shut up, shut up!)  -_-

i do not believe, in the 25 years i have known her, that i have ever asked her for a recipe.  lolz!!   but she has plenty of mine - she even put my stuffed mushroom recipe in a cookbook her church group made for a fundraiser  :)  because it's freaking awesome :)

at least your MIL acknowledges your talented cooking skills.  :) my first MIL LOVED me and my cooking. I was an angel in her eyes.

if it makes you feel better, that's what happens if I get hit. Not the same as when first  DXed when I'd be sidelined for weeks.

The muscle pain ramps up to 10 and I get burning nerve and skin pain, a bunch of sores on my face and scalp, I feel off balance and awkward (more awkward than usual lol) , the  fatigue is unbeleivable and I want to punch people in the face. People I do not even know. I have to watch a bunch of comedies and stay inside.That's just not right.!... :ph34r: lol

yeah, that gluten head--she is a beeyutch!!

I don't really like the tomato and mac and cheese thing - right or wrong.

 

 

I haven't seen my current "MIL" in about 5 years.  Hub has seen her two or thee times so we know she is still around.  :ph34r:

Want mine? I see her 2 or 3 times a week. <_< I'm sure even my husband would be willing to give her away right now. :lol:

 

I'm a horrible person when I'm glutened too. I can't even go to Wal-Mart because if one person looks at me funny I'll start thinking things like "I swear to God if you so much as open your mouth in my direction I'll stab you in the eye with a spork from the deli." And so I stay home and don't even talk to my husband without the disclaimer that I may say something I don't mean.

 

Mmmmm.... stromboli. I think the only thing I'm willing to try to get down this sore throat is honeyed tea and more soup. A stromboli does sound like a fun challenge though.

notme Experienced

for the stromboli, i'm gonna hafta find that dough recipe.  technology bites me in the a$$ again - i was so forward-thinking, i copied all my gluten-free favorites to a file on my laptop.  which is currently blue screening...............  i shoulda backed it up onto a stick, but i am stoopit  :huh:

Adalaide Mentor

A failed or malfunctioning computer doesn't mean everything is lost. It is possible if you take it to a tech they can retrieve your hard drive information. A blue screen is rarely (if ever) related to your hard drive, so your information is probably all intact. If you have truly valuable information on there, you can probably go to a tech and tell them what you want and see if they can retrieve it for you.

 

Now if isn't something you already do, you need to get yourself a three-ring binder and start printing out recipes so this never happens again. :P

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again! 
    • knitty kitty
      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.
