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 ch

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 think you could get your initial, too.  I wish it were red as that is the color of gluten-free in our house.

That's a really cool idea, I just wish it wasn't glass. I have one glass cutting board I bought on the premise that it couldn't get CC'd and I can't stand the sound of cutting on it.  :ph34r: It's beautiful though, and a great gift for people who like glass cutting boards, shared house or not.  :)

The cutting boards are only $24 with the discount code.  FYI. 

 

Last night we had - grilled pork chops, black rice with some parm on top, seasoned with a little garlic and onion powder and basil olive oil, salad, homemade applesauce, brownies with ganache and raspberries and champagne.

I am still seriously considering a cutting board at that price. Just... not for me. My Grammy's kitchen has always been blue everything and our family has always been quite proud of our name. So a blue monogrammed cutting board sounds like a splendid gift if I can check my Christmas budget and see what's what. I just honestly hadn't thought much about Christmas yet.  :ph34r:

 

Sounds like last night was pork night and apple night. We're having the rest of our pork roast tonight, at least that's my plan. I'm not home to see if my husband gets into it for lunch or not. If he does I'm sure I'll manage to come up with something else.

I made Thai Chicken soup today, very spicy.  It was total yum..  Snuck in a lot of veggies that the  Irish sidekick wouldn't normally eat, like bok choy and peppers, peas besides the normal veggies.  Had it with Wally World rice.

Not much time to cook anything extravagant tonight so I made spicy roasted butternut squash, carrot and poblano soup with a drizzle of pumpkinseed oil. That's it!

You make "that's it" sound positively drool-worthy.

 

We scored some bogo Malibu pre-seasoned chicken breasts at the store last night. Baked those with garlic taters. I also got some Udi's blueberry muffins on sale after I went out to vote today so that's dessert with a cup of milk.

Last night I made grilled pork chops, green beans, and red potatoes sliced up and baked with some parmesean and garlic on them.  Yummm!

 

Tonight I heated up my chicken broccoli rice cheesy casserole I made and froze last time I made it.  I love making my own frozen "stouffers meals" for when I need them!

Had a need for Junk Food.  Prepared Cincinnati Style  frozen ( S K Y L I N E) chili from Publix over corn pasta with an obscene amount of chopped onions and melted cheese.  Just  what the junk food dr. ordered.

Hey Love2,

 

Remember you mentioned Maple Butter the other day?  I would really love the know how to make it.  And I have my new waffle iron in hand, now I'm all ready for when Irish gets back and I get her recipe for waffles.

 

It's breakfast for dinner here tonight.   Yummmmmm.

 

Thanks,

I wrote alfredo on my dinner planner. (I'm trying out ways to be responsible, not sure if I'm a fan.) I don't do alfredo for a variety of reasons, so I'm going to do plain old spaghetti. It's easy since I'll be cooking pasta anyway and tomatoes just don't do me in the way a huge hit of parmesan will.

 

I'm about ready to crash for the day and it's only 4:30! I still have to do dishes (because I was skipped yesterday, caught up in housework) and find energy to actually cook dinner. Life has been about 1000% more hectic than usual and I've just been running myself ragged and I need to stop. Hopefully Friday is the last day of eventfulness and life can return to the mundane that I'm more accustomed to.

Hi! You are going to have such fun with your waffle maker. I believe it is the little things that can really elevate a dish. All you do is blend soft butter with a glug or generous drizzle of maple syrup and blend well (or even do it in a mixer). Then add some ground chipotle chile or just buy it already ground. Just a shake or two. Or leave it out and just use the maple butter which, by the way, is lovely with a vanilla bean. I make all sorts of butters and sauces for pancakes such as butter rum which is yum. For your tum. Just don't use gum. Dumb, dumb, dumb.

Yes, I'm learning that these smaller details make a big difference.  I'm excited to make the butter.  Does it matter if the butter is salted or not salted?  And will a drop of vanilla extract work instead of a bean?

 

Thanks,

Ooh! I'm in the market for a waffle iron. What brand did you get? Is it Belgian style or regular?

Abbs,

 

I got a Rival.  I chose regular as opposed to Belgium because I like waffles a bit firmer, crisper instead of doughy.  If you get one ask Irish for her waffle recipe.  She told me I would love it.

Yes, vanilla extract would be fine. If you want, you can drizzle in agave syrup instead of maple. The only limit is your imagination! Orange juice and zest is lovely, too. Heck - whip in some pumpkin puree with a bit of cinnamon. You can also infuse honeys with flavour. Salted butter may be a touch salty BUT in this case, a bit of salt would be nice. I sprinkle my chocolate chip cookies and fudge brownies with salt. Soooooooo good.

      I have osteopenia and have cracked three vertebrae.  Niacin is connected to osteoporosis! Do talk to your nutritionist and doctor about supplementing with B vitamins.  Blood tests don't reveal the amount of vitamins stored inside cells.  The blood is a transportation system and can reflect vitamins absorbed from food eaten in the previous twenty-four to forty-eight hours.  Those "normal limits" are based on minimum amounts required to prevent disease, not levels for optimal health.   Keep us posted on your progress.   B Vitamins: Functions and Uses in Medicine https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9662251/ Association of dietary niacin intake with osteoporosis in the postmenopausal women in the US: NHANES 2007–2018 https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11835798/ Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/   Nutritional Imbalances in Adult Celiac Patients Following a Gluten-Free Diet https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8398893/ Nutritional Consequences of Celiac Disease and Gluten-Free Diet https://www.mdpi.com/2036-7422/15/4/61 Simplifying the B Complex: How Vitamins B6 and B9 Modulate One Carbon Metabolism in Cancer and Beyond https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9609401/

Anemia?  Do you take any supplements, or vitamins? I’m within healthy range for nutritional tests, thyroid and am not anemic. I do have osteopenia. I don’t take any medications, and the dietician was actually a nutritionist (not sure if that is the same thing) recommended by my physician at the time to better understand gluten free eating.    I almost wish the gluten exposure had triggered something, so at least I’d know what’s going on. So confusing!    Many thanks!

      @JudyLou,  I have dermatitis herpetiformis, too!  And...big drum roll... Niacin improves dermatitis herpetiformis!   Niacin is very important to skin health and intestinal health.   You're correct.  dermatitis herpetiformis usually occurs on extensor muscles, but dermatitis herpetiformis is also pressure sensitive, so blisters can form where clothing puts pressure on the skin. Elastic waist bands, bulky seams on clothing, watch bands, hats.  Rolled up sleeves or my purse hanging on my arm would make me break out on the insides of my elbows.  I have had a blister on my finger where my pen rested as I write.  Foods high in Iodine can cause an outbreak and exacerbate dermatitis herpetiformis. You've been on the gluten free diet for a long time.  Our gluten free diet can be low in vitamins and minerals, especially if processed gluten free foods are consumed.  Those aren't fortified with vitamins like gluten containing products are.  Have you consulted dietician?  Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Osteoporosis? Thyroid? Anemia?  Do you take any supplements, medicine, or vitamins? Niacin deficiency is connected to anemia.  Anemia can cause false negatives on tTg IgA tests.  A person can be on that borderline where symptoms wax and wane for years, surviving, but not thriving.  We have a higher metabolic need for more nutrients when we're sick or emotionally stressed which can deplete the small amount of vitamins we can store in our bodies and symptoms reappear.   Exposure to gluten (and casein in those sensitive to it) can cause an increased immune response and inflammation for months afterwards. The immune cells that make tTg IgA antibodies which are triggered today are going to live for about two years. During that time, inflammation is heightened.  Those immune cells only replicate when triggered.  If those immune cells don't get triggered again for about two years, they die without leaving any descendents programmed to trigger on gluten and casein.  The immune system forgets gluten and casein need to be attacked.  The Celiac genes turn off.  This is remission.    Some people in remission report being able to consume gluten again without consequence.   However, another triggering event can turn the Celiac genes on again.   Celiac genes are turned on by a triggering event (physical or emotional stress).  There's some evidence that thiamine insufficiency contributes to the turning on of autoimmune genes.  There is an increased biological need for thiamine when we are physically or emotionally stressed.  Thiamine cannot be stored for more than twenty-one days and may be depleted in as little as three during physical and emotional stresses. Mitochondria without sufficient thiamine become damaged and don't function properly.  This gets relayed to the genes and autoimmune disease genes turn on.  Thiamine and other B vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients are needed to replace the dysfunctional mitochondria and repair the damage to the body.   I recommend getting checked for vitamin and mineral deficiencies.  More than just Vitamin D and B12.  A gluten challenge would definitely be a stressor capable of precipitating further vitamin deficiencies and health consequences.   Best wishes!
