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

 foster farms corn dogs

i bought those!  then the website didn't say if it was dedicated, blah, so i just called to double check.  and got their voicemail, then they called me back and got MY voicemail.  twice.....  i should have asked the question on the voicemail and they could have answered on my voicemail.  anyways, i fed them to the grandkids and they love them, so i bought them again.  you did ok with them, then, i'm assuming?

I have a coupon for the corn dogs but the store it's for doesn't have them. <_< I need to tell them to get some before the coupon expires. They shouldn't be putting coupons for gluten free stuff on my app if they aren't gonna have it in my store.

 

Tonight is waffle night. I'm finally gonna break in my new waffle iron. Yay! We'll have sausage or ham or something with it. I don't know, not worried about it this early.

 

Yesterday the girl who missed a few weeks at the limeade stand came back, apparently she hurt her shoulder and couldn't work for a while. She came to talk to Jose next to me to see if she could get some tacos, but he immediately told her no because he didn't bring any corn tortillas. She shrugged it off, said something else and was walking off when I couldn't resist running over. I asked if she had celiac, she does, I said I do too then told her we have a tamale vendor if she needed lunch since Jose couldn't feed her. We talked for a minute and we both excited to randomly run into another celiac person just dealing with the same struggle but managing happily in the same place. It was great. Then after she walked away I realized that I walked away from my husband while he was in the middle of a sentence to talk to her. Oops. :lol: I'm so lucky he's so understanding. :wub:

Breakfast for dinner after we go see James Camerans new movie.

Hubs has been riding both weekend mornings since he got over the virus from hell...so boys haven't had a big breakfast lately.

Yeah for new Psilly Yak friends!

Tonight we had lasagna ( not crockpot) and Italian casserole. The casserole was soooo good. I used red sauce and made a pesto cream sauce and cheeses. The lasagna was good, too. Salad and Snickers cookie bars for dessert

Haha. This makes me think of last night when I went to my favorite "watering hole" and got a few drinks (they got Johnny Appleseed on draft now! I tell myself it's just for me!) But anywho, one of the servers comes up to me and asks "what gluten free beers do we have?" Weird I know, but she knows I can't have gluten, so she decided to ask a trusted source. Of course, being the nosey person I am, I watch to see what table she was asking for, and who got the gluten free beer...I kinda wish I had gone over and said something to the girl who got it, but she was with what appeared to be parents and at long and neice, so I didn't. :-/ It would def be nice to meet someone my own age in my area who has celiac.

The app for Smith's. It's in the Kroger family of stores and it was my understanding that all of them have their own apps. They probably have similar coupons too. I can't honestly remember now though if it's a regular coupon or a "customer best" coupon which is one of the ones tailored to me and how I shop. They just loaded those again at the same time this one appeared. They also do a free Friday download every week, and even when it isn't something I can have (like last week it was a Chili's entree frozen meal) I still get it and either feed it to my husband because it's free food or take it to the food bank if he won't eat it. They're my favorite store to shop at because they sell Udi's on the shelf and mark it down two days before it's dated. I brought home chocolate muffins last week. :D

Around here they have Kroger which is in that family, you can go online and link coupons to your plus card. They have the free thing every Friday as well.  I know there are Krogers in middle georgia where my relatives live, may want to check it out Georgiaguy!

I use about 6-8 oz of semi-sweet chips for the top (not milk chocolate).

The problem is - they make a lot - a 9 x 13 pan.  Good when you have other people to eat some of them.

Our waffles were good. They weren't bland or anything, but they were plain. I think in the future we'll add fruit or something to them. I do really love my new waffle iron though! Cooking four waffles at a time really makes it go fast so I'm not in the kitchen all night making dinner. And there are plenty of leftovers for breakfast and snacks.

 

I want to make fried chicken, but the chicken won't be thawed for tonight. I think we'll just have pasta, I'll leave it up to my husband what he wants. He's been bugging me for chicken alfredo so we may have that. Or we may have spaghetti with red sauce. I don't know yet, but something easy since I have something with so much more effort planned for tomorrow. What I do know for sure is there will be waffles between now and then.

Just stopped at Target, and the wow cookies are on sale.  Took all my strength to buy just one bag.  Those things are so good!  Tonight I am going to make chicken stir fry for dinner,one of the few ways I get my husband to eat his veggies!

I just found out a local company makes a whiskey salami with a whiskey from a local distillery. And it's on sale. Looks like I need to go shopping at a particular store this week. I love trying new and exciting things!

Got London broil defrosting here...may throw it in KFG with diced jalapeños and onions for another round of green beef...there were no leftovers last week...the kid that works nights didn't get any. Plus it is easy . Win, win :)

Whiskey Salami sound very interesting!

These are awesome! I subbed almonds and almond butter as one son is avoiding peanuts and made it safe for me to take a nibble.

Yum!

Ps...thanks Karen and I used semi sweet like K recommends.

      Coeliac or not coeliac

      @CC90, Your Lansoprazole is a proton pump inhibitor and has immunosuppressive effects!!!! This is why your endoscopy didn't show much damage to the intestinal lining!! The Lansolprazole is suppressing tTg IgA antibodies in the intestines, but those antibodies are getting into the blood stream and causing inflammation and damage in other organs...

      Having issues with chips

      Hi, @kevert93, Those Gluten Assist enzymes digest carbohydrates, not just gluten specifically. Eating a high carbohydrate meal can deplete Thiamine Vitamin B 1 causing digestive symptoms like you describe. You could also be having difficulty digesting the oils used in those chips. Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can help. We need the eight...

      Coeliac or not coeliac

      Thank you for responding. I didn't intentionally reduce gluten prior to the endoscopy though I dont generally eat a lot of it due to the unpleasant symptoms. I was under the impression my TTG of 87.4 was very high, at least that's what my doctor said.

      Thank you. I think what's confused me is that I assumed the biopsies would show damage due to my TTG being so high. I have been looking into paying for the genetic testing. I think I will do this. If it shows I have the genes I will consider the repeat endoscopy. If I haven't got the genetic susceptibility at least I will know and not go through...

      @CC90, Your Lansoprazole is a proton pump inhibitor and has immunosuppressive effects!!!!  This is why your endoscopy didn't show much damage to the intestinal lining!!  The Lansolprazole is suppressing tTg IgA antibodies in the intestines, but those antibodies are getting into the blood stream and causing inflammation and damage in other organs.   Proton pump inhibitors cause intestinal damage in the long run.  If you get off the Lansoprazole for a few months so your immune system is not blocked, then do a gluten challenge, and an endoscopy, THEN they would see intestinal damage. Sheesh!  Doctors can be so ignorant.  I've seen this so many times it's frustrating! Take the B Complex and Benfotiamine.  Get off the Lansoprazole.  Go with the DNA test results.   Welcome to the tribe! P.S. B vitamins are needed to correct anemia!  Not just iron.

      Hi, @kevert93, Those Gluten Assist enzymes digest carbohydrates, not just gluten specifically.  Eating a high carbohydrate meal can deplete Thiamine Vitamin B 1 causing digestive symptoms like you describe.  You could also be having difficulty digesting the oils used in those chips.  Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can help. We need the eight B vitamins to digest our food, carbs, fats and proteins.  Poor digestion can cause symptoms like vomiting and stomach pain, brain fog, headaches, exhaustion.  Try taking a B Complex with the activated forms of the B vitamins (Life Extension's Bioactive B Complex is great!) and additional Benfotiamine.  The B vitamins are used to make digestive enzymes and will allow your digestive system to function properly.  The B vitamins also will improve headaches, exhaustion, and brain function.  Taking Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine will improve digestive symptoms and lower inflammation, too.  Benfotiamine and the B vitamins are safe.  The B vitamins are chemical compounds found in whole foods, not in highly processed foods like chips.   The body cannot make the B vitamins, so supplementing is beneficial.  Benfotiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.

      @CC90, Welcome to the forum! Have you had a genetic test to look for Celiac genes?  You must have Celiac genes in order to develop Celiac disease.  If you don't have any Celiac genes, your doctors should look for another cause of your illness.   Intestinal damage from Celiac disease can be microscopic and patchy, especially in people who haven't had symptoms for long.  Gall bladder dysfunction is common in the early stages of Celiac disease.  Gall bladder pain occurs on the upper right side of the abdomen.  Nausea and acid reflux often accompany.  These symptoms can be improved with supplementation of the eight B vitamins, chemical compounds the body cannot make so must get from food.  Acid reflux, nausea, brain fog, gall bladder dysfunction are symptoms of deficiencies in B vitamins Niacin and Thiamine.  The eight B vitamins work in concert together, so taking a B Complex containing the activated forms of B vitamins is essential with Celiac.  Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine helps with the gall bladder dysfunction and brain fog.   The B vitamins are water soluble and easily excreted if not needed.  Taking B Complex and additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine is beneficial and safe.  Doctors aren't taught about vitamins, so the deficiency symptoms that you have are easily misinterpreted.  Other vitamins like Vitamin D and essential minerals like magnesium are often low in the newly diagnosed.  Supplementing with B Complex can improve symptoms.
