Have you ever tried a mortar and pestle? I use it often for salad dressing and it works beautifully. (Start with raw garlic and salt, and add herbs, then liquids and mustard.)

Are you suggesting a mortar and pestle because I can't be trusted with a stick blender? :P LOL

I do have a m&p, a good yard sale find for $3. Hope to see your salad dressing recipes posted soon.

So, last night we had barbequed skinless chicken thighs that had marinated all day in homemade memphis style BBQ sauce, roasted sweet potatoes amd tossed romaine salad with sliced strawberries and balsalmic viniagrette. That was the bomb.

Tonight we're having marinated grilled orange/pepper sirloin steak loins (I've never heard of this cut before, but they were on sale) with home fries and artichokes.

My boyfriend and I just finished eating - steak with steamed broccoli and bell peppers. First time making steak and it was great! My boyfriend loved it. He's learning about my diet so when he found out that steak is naturally gluten free he was a very happy camper :)

LOL. No, well... maybe? But, wait, should we trust you with the m&p? The garlic paste is an amazing base for dressings though. I don't have oen solid recipe, as they vary quite a lot depending on what I feel like and what I'm dressing, but this would be the base.

1 clove garlic

1/8 t salt

a few grinds black pepper

Pound in the mortar and peste until a paste.

2-3 sprigs fresh herbs, or 1/2 t dried herbs

Pound into the garlic.

1/2 t dijon mustard

2 t white wine vinegar (could use red, cider, rice, etc)

1 t balsamic vinegar (optional feel free to sub lemon juice)

2 T olive oil

Optional: pinch or two of parmesan or pecorino romano

Mix into the garlic herb blend. (How you do so would depend on the size and type of m&p, but you can figure it out. It usually emulsifies quite easily.)

About a quart of a potage I'm calling:

Creamed Garden Greens and Red Potato

consisting of one small red potato with freshly picked baby collards, mustard spinach, red mustard, and spinach in a sauce made of peanut oil, corn flour, water, soy milk, pecorino romano, garlic, and garlic chives (and s&p)

and a few

Lentil Herb Patties

consisting of leftover overcooked pilaf (quinoa, brown rice, yellow lentils, green lentils, and brown lentils) shaped into falafels and pan-fried in olive oil.

Homemade Chocolate Granola Bar

Oh, what a treat!! They sound wonderful. What are Lorne sausages??

Our sausage guy is from Cumberland originally - he makes wonderful gluten-free sausages. Our favourites are lamb with rosemary and Cumberland. His pork with sage is also yummy. He is considering doing pancetta! That would be awesome. This guy lives three hours away from here but when we are in the city he meets us there (he drives half an hour) with our big orders. Our favourite thing with Cumberlands is Bangers and Mash. LOVE it! They are so tasty they take us back to Cumberland in one second flat. :D

I also love Cumberland sausages! I think that Lorne sausages are peculiar to Scotland. They are also known as slice sausage and are the square sausage you may have had if you had cooked breakfasts in hotels when you were in Scotland.

I had one of the lamb burgers for my lunch and it was so flavoursome!! Mmmm

Oh, yes! I know what you mean. I did not realize that is what they are called. Learned something new today!!

The lamb burger sounds incredible. Did you happen to have a gluten-free bun, too, or did you have it another way? Lamb....mmmmmmmmmm....

The Jambalaya is incredible - we are having it again tonight with homemade gluten-free focaccia bread and grilled asparagus. Untraditional accompaniments, I know! :lol:

At the moment it is only +2 degrees. It froze last night, unfortunately, so am baking today to warm up the house (don't want to turn the furnace on in June).

I have a whole chicken in my slow cooker with sweet potatoes, carrots, onions and garlic cloves. Seasoned it with rotisserie seasoning. Will probably pull something green (spinach, green beans or peas) out of the freezer to steam when the chicken is ready. We are trying to eat down our freezer and cabinets for an upcoming move and our fridge is getting pretty bare.

I thought that was worth posting again. Thank you for the nice recipe! :D

Roasted garlic potatoes, fish fingers and peas.

Nothing exotic but i was in the mood for it lol.

I've been making my own salad dressings and this one is so simple I had to share.

Honey Mustard Dressing

In a small glass bowl

a squeeze of honey (approx 2 tsp?)

a squeeze of dijon mustard (approx 2 tsp)

a glug of olive oil (approx 2 tbsp)

Mix with a small wire whisk a few seconds until it thickens... Enjoy!!

Sorry for the squeeze and glug measurements but I've been experimenting with salad dressings and haven't measured just eyeball it LOL

Tonight I made pizza using Jules Shepard's recipe in her newest cookbook, Free For All Cooking. The recipe is also on her blog: http://blog.julesglu.../2011/02/pizza/ Cute video to watch the process, too.

I was very pleased with the results. In her cookbook she suggests saut

Think I'll do beet cole slaw. And red wine.

In U.S., what is difference between corn starch and corn flour? Is corn flour like cornmeal or something in between, or masa harina?? The two terms (starch and flour) are used interchangeably here because we don't have a corn culture.

sa1937 Community Regular

Good to know. If I remember correctly you've made Annalise's pizza, too. If so, how do they compare?

I like Annalise's recipe but think I prefer Jules'. More like a "normal" pizza crust that we were used to eating prior to going gluten-free. In other words, "white flour". :P She is quite generous sharing a lot of recipes on her blog. And I ordered more of her flour...(sigh)

I've not yet bought masa harina (but will try it). The corn flour I have is BRM. And it is a fine flour, not corn starch. Definitely not cornmeal, which is coarse.

Thanks, Jess and Sylvia, for the corn flour information. Definitely something for me to avoid, being whole kernel :unsure: Mebbe that explains the failure of certain recipes in the past :rolleyes:

Actually in Free For All Cooking she lists a lot of substitutions for her all-purpose flour. Other flour could definitely be substituted for corn flour. Her basic flour blend there doesn't resemble the "Nearly Normal Flour" mix, which I think is what she came up with when she started selling her 5-lb bags of flour...it's based on the flour mix she used in her older cookbook Nearly Normal Cooking.

I received an Amazon gift card for Christmas and added this cookbook to my order at the last minute to get free shipping.

A lot of the recipes can be made gluten-free, dairy-free, nut-free, soy-free, egg-free and vegetarian (not necessarily vegan). And she gives a lot of substitutes for those things, too.

      We usually see mucus in the stool in those with undiagnosed celiac disease and those not adhering to a gluten free diet. However, the mucus could also be coming from lower down in the intestinal track. I would seek a physician consult. You might also check into getting a follow-p endoscopy/biopsy on the small bowel to check for healing progress since going gluten free.
    • trents
      @ARSTONE, not to be picky because there has been evolution in the terminology with regard to gluten disorders. And the terms "gluten intolerance" and "gluten sensitivity" are still used by some interchangeably. But with time, "gluten intolerance" has become synonymous with celiac disease with "gluten sensitivity" referring to NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). Having said that, whatever it may be, apparently there is an ingredient in that product that doesn't agree with you.

      @Manaan2, You may want to consider switching from Miralax (polyethylene glycol) to magnesium citrate and Thiamine supplements.   When I was prescribed Miralax for constipation, I developed worsened gastrointestinal problems, including worsening leaky gut syndrome.  Since polyethylene glycol is a synthetic chemical made from petroleum or coal byproducts, I was uncomfortable with that.   Miralax can cause poor vitamin absorption, flushing vitamins and minerals away before they can be absorbed.  Miralax can cause electrolyte imbalances, meaning low magnesium.  Low magnesium levels can cause constipation.  Low Thiamine Vitamin B1 can cause constipation as well.  Magnesium and Thiamine work together to make life sustaining enzymes.  Without sufficient thiamine and magnesium, the gastrointestinal tract slows down resulting in constipation, a sort of catch twenty-two.   I quit taking Miralax.  I took a form of Thiamine, Benfotiamine 250-300 mg, at the beginning of every meal and 200mg magnesium citrate or magnesium glycinate or magnesium l-threonate (Neuromag) at the end of every meal.  My constipation resolved quickly.  When my stool got too loose, I simply reduced the amount of magnesium.  I did not reduce Benfotiamine which has been shown to promote intestinal health and reduce leaky gut syndrome.  If thiamine at night gives too much energy to fall asleep at night, skip the Benfotiamine at the last evening meal. Blood tests ate not accurate measures of vitamin sufficiency.  The best way to check for Thiamine insufficiency is to take it and look for health improvement within a few days.  Thiamine is water soluble, easily excreted in urine if not needed.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic when used in high doses.  No harm in trying, just to rule this out.   Best wishes.  Do keep us posted on your daughter's progress!

      I don't know if anyone can help. I was diagnosed with celiac last June. Since going gluten free the diarrhea has stopped, in fact things have gone the other way. What is bothering me is the occasional rectal mucus discharge. I have no other symptoms and it doesn't happen very often. As I haven't seen anyone since my diagnosis, I don't know if this is normal or not
    • ARSTONE
      The issue is I'm not actually celiac but gluten intolerant. So do t know why I am so sick from this. It's been two days.
