I have never seen that! Looks great!

 

Maybe it's a Utah thing? It's made in Salt Lake. It's just one of our ways of having a "beer" with our dinner since we don't drink.

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

Copy-cat! That's my plan for dinner Sunday except it's gonna have some chicken and pepperoni on it. :-)

As for tonight, it's gonna be pasta with broccoli, bell peppers, onion, red apple, and chicken. Not sure yet what sauce I'm gonna do.

I made skillet lasagna for lunch today. Yum! My Meijer's now carries Meijer store brand gluten-free pasta and they have a lasagna cuts variety. It is only $1.99 per 16 oz. (it's non-gmo corn pasta)

Your pasta calls for a wine sauce or maybe pesto :D.

I wish we had Meijer's.  Our store carries some gluten-free pasta, spaghetti and penne I think but it's $4 or 5/box.  I prefer Vermicelli personally. Hopefully I can find that some day.

I do have some wine at the house...

As for pasta, I get Ronzoni or Kroger brand and it's $2-$3 a box, but it's just spaghetti, penne, or Ronzoni has a twisty noodle.

HA!  My husband also likes to discourage my use of knives.  What did you bread your fried chicken with?  I use gluten-free bisquik and it turns out good, but there is always room to improve.

 

Tonight is grilled chicken, sweet potato fries, and green beans.  

i used flour and starch - but i cook like the swedish chef:  herdy deredy derrdy herr - brown rice flour, tapioca starch, the rest of a box of hodgson mill ap baking mix, some potato starch, s&p, garlic powder, paprika (dip in egg, then flour, let it sit for a little bit to goo up, then egg and flour again)  herrdy derr lolz throw salt over shoulder..   :)

 

last night was white brats and sauerkraut w/pierogies for the wheateaters 

 

(edited to add 'seasonings')

I found a recipe a few years ago that called for coating chicken in buttermilk, dredge in flour, coat again in buttermilk and flour and fry.  The key was to put it in hot oil and keep the heat consistent while frying--so not loading up the pan too much and adding pieces slowly.  I would season the flour with whatever sounded good.  The skin came out very crunchy and the meat was so tender and moist.  Substitute gluten-free for any of the above.

 

Penzy's makes a seasoning called "Old World".  Its a blend especially made for baking chicken.  It tastes just like my Grandma's fried chicken and all you do is sprinkle it on the chicken and bake.  I prefer it on chicken with skin still on--I know but nummy!!!  It's good on skinless stuff too.   Penzey's spices and mixes are gluten-free--confirmed via email from the company last week :D.

the recipe i used said to soak it in buttermilk for a few hours, then dry off, s&p, and do the egg/flour dredge thing.  i have never been very good at making fried chicken, so i was pretty happy when the hubs said it was good (and gluten-free! )  i was like:  wow!  :)  where does one purchase such spices?  i am in east tennessee.   or does one order from a ma zon <i ordered some stuff yesterday.  entirely too easy....  i even remembered my password.  scared me to death lolz

http://www.penzeys.com/  You can see if there is one near you or order online.  Also sign up for their catalog.  They have fantastic recipes and you get a coupon for a free spice each catalog (monthly).  The recipes may or may not be gluten-free but they can probably be adapted to work.

We have a Penzys store and we have to stay out of it. We get stuff we don't need.

Tonight we are going to the baseball game so I'm just packing a ham and cheese. Will get a Redbridge and maybe some popcorn there.

:D   Last time I was in Penzy's I spent about $90.  The clerk said "haven't been here in a while, huh."  I about died laughing.  I was mostly buying gifts but it's so true!!  I LOVE their small boxes for hostess gifts!!

 

Plan changed, hubs was not home so I had gluten-free hash browns and a Udi hamburger bun toasted with seasoned butter.  It was the first gluten-free bread I've had.  It was pretty good.  Hubs ate one the other night and said the same.

Tonight we went to Texas de Brazil, a Churrascaria style steak house.  Had a half off deal and wanted to take my teenage relatives who haven't even been in a nice restaurant before, they thought it was the best thing ever.  Nomnomnomnom steak!   Steak is how you score!  (that is a saying my best friend made up, we still use it!)

Trying a cauliflower pizza for the first time tonight. I have a few recipes I've been looking at, but a friend has a recipe she claims is 'foldable'. Waiting on that recipe and it's supposed to be a super low carb one, so im hoping it is gluten free too. Now I just need to decide on toppings.

They sell vodka, too? I'm in Kansas and the liquor laws wouldn't allow that. They do sell lovely wine based vinegars!

I use the basil olive oil on garlic bread sticks. Toasted seasame oil in stir fry! That stuff is so yummy, I could almost drink it!

Depends on the store I guess.  Vom Foss is the one I've been to...wild cherry vodka---YUM

 

 

Ok, so I'm making a Glutino Pizza crust.  It's really sticky...is that normal for gluten free breads?  I have to let it rise for 40 minutes, hopefully it's not as bad then.

Yes. Sticky is normal. Here is what I do. I lay out plastic wrap on a big cutting mat or extra cookie sheet, plop the glop of dough on it, put more plastic wrap on top, then roll or press out thought the plastic wrap. Then take the top wrap off, use the cookie sheet and flip it over onto what you are cooking it on.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      Thank you for your thoughtful contribution, @Tazfromoz. I live in the UK and the National Health Service funds free vaccines for people deemed to be at heightened risk. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that as a coeliac in my 50s I was eligible for this vaccine, and didn't think twice when it was offered to me. Soon after diagnosis I suffered...

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      My understanding, and ex I erience is that we coeliacs are likely to suffer more extreme reactions from viruses. Eg we are more likely to be hospitalised with influenza. So, sadly, your shingles may be worse because you are coeliac. So sorry you had to go through this. My mother endured shingles multiple times. She was undiagnosed with coeliac disease until...

      Celiac Screening

      Hi all, Looking for some advice. I started having some symptoms this past summer like night sweats and waking at 4 am and felt quite achy in my joints. I was training heavily for cycling for a few weeks prior to the onset of these symptoms starting. I have had low Ferratin for about 4 years (started at 6) and usually sits around 24 give or take. I was...

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning?

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning? Hello. I've had another similar episode. I find it very difficult to differentiate between the symptoms of a cold or flu and those caused by gluten poisoning. In fact, I don't know if my current worsening is due to having eaten something that disagreed with me or if the cold I have has caused my body, which is hypersensitive...

      Celiac disease symptoms

      I'm no longer dealing with constipation. I got my liver test last month and it was in normal range. Two years ago I did have a vitamin D deficiency but I'm know taking vitamin D3 pills. Last month I got my vitamin D checked and it was in normal range. I don't believe I've had my choline checked. However, I do drink almond milk eat Greek yogurt on a daily...

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By cristiana · Posted

      Thank you for your thoughtful contribution, @Tazfromoz. I live in the UK and the National Health Service funds free vaccines for people deemed to be at heightened risk.  I was pleasantly surprised to discover that as a coeliac in my 50s I was eligible for this vaccine, and didn't think twice when it was offered to me.  Soon after diagnosis I suffered mystery symptoms of burning nerve pain, following two separate dermatomes, and one GP said he felt that I had contracted shingles without the rash aka zoster sine herpete.  Of course, without the rash, it's a difficult diagnosis to prove, but looking back I think he was completely spot on.  It was miserable and lasted about a year, which I gather is quite typical. For UK coeliacs reading this, it is worth having a conversation with your GP if you haven't been vaccinated against shingles yet, if you are immunosuppressed or over 50. I have just googled this quickly - it is a helpful summary which I unashamedly took from AI, short for time as I am this morning!   My apologies. In the UK, coeliac patients aren't automatically eligible for the shingles jab unless they're severely immunosuppressed or over the general age for vaccination (currently 50+) but Coeliac UK recommends discussing the vaccine with a GP due to potential splenic dysfunction, which can increase risk, even if not routine for all coeliacs. Eligibility hinges on specific criteria like weakened immunity (chemo, certain meds) or age, with the non-live Shingrix vaccine offered in two doses to those deemed high-risk, often starting from age 18 for the immunocompromised.

      Hi all,  Looking for some advice. I started having some symptoms this past summer like night sweats and waking at 4 am and felt quite achy in my joints. I was training heavily for cycling for a few weeks prior to the onset of these symptoms starting. I have had low Ferratin for about 4 years (started at 6) and usually sits around 24 give or take. I was doing some research and questioned either or not I might have celiac disease (since I didn’t have any gastric symptoms really). My family doctor ran blood screening for celiac. And my results came back: Tissue Transglutaminase Ab IgA HI 66.6 U/mL Immunoglobulin IgA 1.73 g/ My doctor then diagnosed me with celiac and I have now been gluten free for 3 months. In this time I no longer get night sweats my joint pain is gone and I’m still having trouble sleeping but could very much be from anxiety. I was since referred to an endoscopy clinic to get a colonoscopy and they said I should be getting a biopsy done to confirm celiac. In this case I have to return to eating gluten for 4-6 weeks before the procedure. Just wanted some advice on this. I seem to be getting different answers from my family physician and from the GI doctor for a diagnosis.    Thanks,
