The What's For Dinner Tonight Chat

I'm trying a new recipe tonight. Something my SIL (for some reason my favorite one, being one I've never met) shared on facebook. It didn't have a name, so I'm calling it Parmesan crusted chicken. It looks really good. I'm still debating whether I want risotto or something else with it. And I'm sure something vegetablish.

Made nachos for lunch, and had grilled pork chops with sweet potatoes and green beans for dinner.

So today I was scheduled to have my gallbladder removed, but I had to postpone it because I was extremely sick last week, and am still weak and on antibiotics.  I am not very happy to live with this thing causing problems for another two months- the first good period of time to do it again will be late March.  Ah well.

 

Today it was acting up so I had chicken and rice soup with those breton crackers everyone has been freaking out over.  They are a really good soup cracker!

Big Fat Greek Salad. Not exceptionally thrilling, but it was tasty.

I'm all out of buffalo fingers.... finally. lol

 

I think turkey burgers, aioli, some sweet potato fries, roasted asparagus.

kareng Grand Master

This has nothing to do with dinner - more a breakfast issue. I got some Enjoy Life Flax cereal. Not much taste but good for you. The cat is very insistent that she should have some. More insistent then she is with ham! And this cat LOVES ham! She comes running if you just open a pack of ham.

This is Bella with potato chips.  :D but she turned her nose up to sweet potato chips. (cat = not paleo) lol

LauraTX Rising Star

Ha!  My cat loves tortilla chips.  One time when we first got her, my husband had left a bag open with chip crumbs on the coffee table and gone to bed.  We woke up in the middle of the night trying to figure out what that sound was, and we discovered her munching on the chips.  LOL

 

Tonight I am going to make chicken and dumplings.  

Adalaide Mentor

I suggested either burgers or In N Out to my husband for dinner, by text, assuming he would understand one meant "cooking" (lol at indoor electric grill and frozen burgers) at home and one meant other people cooking me delicious food and fries and a shake. He texts me back to point out that In N Out is burgers. <_< Someone just earned himself buying me dinner. B)

Thank you Captain Obvious....picking up treats is the perfect reward - Enjoy!

 

Exciting dinner here....not.   Pork, carrots and Zu-rice -- zu-noodles  chopped into rice to fool me into thinking I've got more foods ;)

love2travel Mentor

We are still low-carbing it (we probably will forever!) so I am making a luscious cream of celery soup with cumin-roasted pepitas and finishing it with a drizzle of pumpkinseed oil.

I've been on the Histamine trial and my food is not fit to be apart of this thread.  Although satisfying and good for me, it's just not pretty!

Hey, hey. hey now....that's food discrimination. lol

 

I still post mine (low hista amd primal) and .... "Satisfying and good" is what dinner is all about..  :D

 

Last night I had bison burgers with onions and baked sweet potatoes and roasted asparagus.

 

Tonight, filet mignon, roasted root veggies, arugula salad. (and champagne, because tonight, all dietary rules be damned!!)

O, I forgot I picked up some sweet potatoes the other day.  I'm on it.  Thanks for the reminder.

Our Ski! :wub:

The queen of the sweet potato and the zu-noodles.  (or zoodles in our house)

GottaSki Mentor

Yep...sticking to zuccini and sweet potato is it for me....

 

Dumb Ass just decided she had to have a grilled cheese sandwich...first time in many months and sadly it was a very, very bad idea....extreme Swelly Belly heading off to pop some Benedryl.

 

Don't want pity...tired of pity parties here...just thought I'd post -- it happens -- no one can eat just meat and vegies for over a year without slips - but was secretly hoping I could have one flipping sandwich ;)

GF Lover Rising Star

And I usually just bake my sweet potato.....now Ski has me thinking about the finer points of sweet potatoes and their many representations....sheesh.  It's pretty sad when you have to take notes on living life off of a Forum.  But I'm so glad you guys are here to guide me through my own foggy brain.   :D

I make sweet potatoes at least once a week.  Usually I cut them into about 3/4" cubes (the bigger the longer the cook time) and put them in a ziploc bag.  I add some good shakes of garlic powder, some salt and pepper, and sometimes a little paprika.  Drizzle in some olive oil, just enough to coat, and toss in the bag to coat them.  You need to over season because half of the seasoning will end up sticking to the bag.  

 

Spread apart on a baking sheet (no touching each other or they won't crisp up) and bake at 375 F with convection (400 if non convection) for 25 to 30 minutes, stirring and flipping over once.  They are basically oven baked sweet potato fries.  But cubes are easier to cut.  

 

Wednesday I was craving chicken and dumplings, so I made the gluten-free Bisquick chicken and dumpling recipe.  Not real dumplings more like biscuit dumplings.  Was not bad.   I added more veggies and stuff to it.

 

Yesterday I threw some chicken on the george foreman grill and ate that with green beans and mashed potatoes, the simply potatoes brand that you get in the refrigerator section.  Those are so good for a treat sometimes!

You deserved to celebrate today!

 

I have a cheese problem. (Like as in I'm an addict besides it not agreeing with me.) I do find though that I do much better with fried queso fresco than any other cheese, maybe that would suit you when you feel a little better Lisa? I just slice it up and fry it in a teensy bit of oil until it's crispy on the outside. I don't know if there is anything you regularly make (or can make) sandwiches out of, but it's excellent on warm arepas if you do corn or are into that sort of thing. It's also perfectly good to just pick up and eat all crunchy and amazing.

      Your frustration and exhaustion are completely valid, and many in the celiac and gluten-sensitive community can relate to the overwhelming confusion you're experiencing. You’re being pulled in different directions by medical advice that seems contradictory, and it’s heartbreaking that your efforts to feel better are met with so many setbacks. Positive TTG IgA antibodies are not something to brush off, especially when combined with your long list of debilitating symptoms that clearly worsen with gluten exposure. A negative biopsy does not necessarily mean you don’t have celiac disease—it’s entirely possible that damage was missed, especially since biopsy results can vary depending on where the samples are taken and how many are collected. It’s also true that celiac disease exists on a spectrum, and many people have serious symptoms and immune responses without yet showing classic biopsy damage. Managing diabetes alongside suspected or confirmed celiac disease is incredibly tricky, especially when healthcare providers don’t work as a team to support your whole health. You shouldn’t be forced to choose between controlling your blood sugar or protecting your gut and immune system. A well-planned gluten-free diet can be both nourishing and diabetes-friendly, especially with guidance from a knowledgeable dietitian who understands both conditions. It’s also deeply concerning that your symptoms—neurological issues, severe fatigue, GI distress, rashes, and more—are being dismissed. You’re not just describing discomfort; you’re describing a level of illness that’s life-altering, and your instincts that something is seriously wrong are absolutely worth trusting. You know your body better than anyone. You deserve a team that listens, believes you, and helps you build a realistic, sustainable path to healing. Whether it’s celiac disease, non-celiac gluten sensitivity, or something else, you have every right to go gluten-free permanently if that’s what makes you feel functional. Many people never get a “perfect” diagnosis but reclaim their health by honoring their own experience and choosing a path of least harm. You are not crazy, you are not weak, and you are not alone. Keep advocating for yourself—you and your daughter both deserve a healthier, more stable life.

      While a definitive causal link remains unclear, vitamin D's known role in immune modulation and intestinal barrier integrity suggests that it plays a significant role in the development and progression of celiac disease.  Reduced 25(OH)D levels are associated with celiac disease.  In celiac disease, gluten can damage these tight junctions, and vitamin D may play a protective role in this context.

      I have posted a lot on here and find that the support , advice and information here is much more helpful than anything else.. ever. I am really tired of the back and forth advice in the medical community and I am beyond frustrated and over all of it currently. I will try to keep this as brief as possible. I have positive TTG IGA antibodies - and I have had these every time I have been tested. The first time they were positive I was told I did not have celiac and couldn't have celiac but I was gluten intolerant and to go gluten free. I did this for about 3-4 months, dedicated I might add, and I did feel better. However, my blood glucose went up drastically and since I was already pre-diabetic and insulin resistant already, I was then told to stop the gluten free diet and resume eating gluten as it would be better for my diabetes.I have been on a yo yo diet and roller coaster since between the gluten free and not gluten free. I decided to see a gastro doc and after him promising me I had celiac based on all my symptoms and positive antibodies but we needed that actual diagnosis in order to be treated correctly, and we just needed the EGD with biopsies to have that diagnosis, I reluctantly agreed to go fully on the gluten challenge for 8 weeks prior to having an EGD and colonoscopy, both with biopsies . The gluten challenge was miserable. At first I was horribly constipated, I gained 9 pounds during the challenge, had horrible swelling issues, terrible bloating, looked and felt pregnant, had rashes and itching, couldn't stay awake, had extreme brain fog, exhaustion, speech difficulties, palpitations, tachycardia , menstrual issues, had an insatiable hunger, mood swings, just all the things. All of this to get the tests and biopsies done and they looked "okay" .. so even though I was told to live like a celiac all of the sudden I am no longer at risk.. I am just gluten intolerant.  I also have uncontrolled diabetes that they feel is made worse by the gluten free diet, so again after all these tests, but having all the symptoms and still having positive antibodies I feel like I am stuck with the choice in regards to my health of addressing the diabetes or the celiac (still don't believe I am not actually Celiac).  So I have been having gluten off and on to try and manage my diabetes, even though most recently, because I have been so physically sick again (that can't be good for diabetes either right??)  with stomach pain, burning, diarrhea, stools that are yellow in color and contain mucus, nausea, some vomiting, sour stomach, I was told I need to just eat gluten free so my stomach will improve, and we will just put you on insulin - I don't want to go on insulin yet, and especially if I do not actually have to. I don't understand why I am backed in this corner of feeling like I have to choose to eat for my diabetes or my stomach, but not both, but I am over it.   So currently in regards to GI symptoms - I consistently have nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, gas , bloating, reflux, sour stomach, yellow stools with mucus.  I am also exhausted and have been itching. I have been having increased swelling, pain, and horrible numbness and tingling, especially in my hands. I am also having an increase in relentless nightmares and night terrors. I have also been having chest pain and palpitations and tachycardia. I have even tried taking digestive enzymes to help break down gluten - (specifically the Gliadin X) and they just seem to make me feel worse. I have trouble with digestion of things like salads, beans, broccoli, etc. on a good day, and that is even worse when I have gluten on any kind of semi-regular basis.   I just can't keep doing this. Mentally, physically and emotionally I am just DONE. I already have a lot of stress in my life.. I am a single mom to a daughter who has her own health issues and is somewhat special needs. I need to be 100% to be what she needs from me, especially with all the running back and forth we have been doing to the doctors and hospitals. So I am no doctor... but I just don't think they are right about any of this. I truly feel I am celiac.. and either the damage just wasn't bad yet, or they just missed the area that has damage, or its all a precursor to full blown celiac (kind of like pre-diabetes/insulin resistance is for actual diabetes). I don't want to live miserable and feel bad all the time. I also don't want my diabetes to be so out of control I have major complications, and I don't feel like insulin is a great option if not truly needed. At this point, if I ever feel like I have a somewhat clear path of what I am dealing with,  I feel like I am looking at MONTHS to YEARS of trying to heal my body. Please help!

      No, I have not been checked for any other deficiencies or issues. No one will check these things since my EGD looked normal and there was no damage. I recently saw my gastro doc and it is just frustrating. I have diabetes, which is basically uncontrolled, and I keep being told, stop eating gluten free, because the gluten free diet is contributing to my diabetes worsening. Then I am told oh just eat gluten free and you can go on insulin, which I don't feel like is a good answer either. So I end up eating gluten because they tell me it's okay or that I should bc of my diabetes. I am so sick today - physically mentally emotionally - just tired of this roller coaster ride.  I am open  for any realistic advice... I feel like I get more support here than in real life
