Addy I am glad you were able to enjoy yourself!  :) 

 

Tonight is grilled chicken with roasted potatoes and carrots.  Tomorrow I am making DIY chipotle bowls (I ruin myself I swear) and Saturday is nachos to use up the delicious guacamole.  Yesterday for lunch for a few days I made up some homemade gnocchi with sauteed mushrooms and zuchinni.  I love that combination.

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

Yay! That would be amazing to be able to eat everything at a potluck. I'm glad that you enjoyed yourself! :)

 

I tried Amy's Sonoma veggie burgers yesterday and I loved them! I think that I'm going to keep a couple in the house along with Udi's buns as a contingency plan if hubby and the kids want to go to Subway or somewhere else that I can't eat.

Tacos? A skillet Mexi meal - beans, salsa, whatever....? Chili? Chicken " burgers"? Meatloaf? I have seen stir fries with ground meats.

Why not? You can make turkey meatballs in the KFG. And ground turkey is interchangeable with ground chicken..... And meatballs are just tiny meat loafs.

I think I would spice it up a bit more than a hamburger meatloaf. Might be a bit bland. I liked the ideas of apples in the meatballs.

I saw the cranberries and my assets puckered  :P   I really liked the rice for the binder instead of bread stuff.  Never heard of it before.  Put in fresh onions and peppers.  I don't like ketchup on my loafs so I chucked that one.  I made up my own diced tomatoes with italian seasoning.  Was plenty moist.  It's in the Crock.

 

Happy Happy  :D

My  mom used to make a meatball with rice it - called them porcupine balls.   The rice sort of showed and looked like quills.

So did you put in cranberries?  Let us know how it turns out.

No Cranberries.  I have a thing about sweet stuff being separate from other foods.  The sweet and sour stuff makes me cringe too.  

 

I'll report back  :D

Yep...this is what I was going to type...but k beat me to it.

We use ground beef, chicken and turkey interchangeable. Have found chicken and turkey make moister meatloaf. Sometimes I let them all play together.

We make porcupine balls in the pressure cooker...took a while to find tomato soup that worked as well as Campbell's for the sauce.

Meatloaf is the easiest option.

Want an easy recipe?....hope hubs is feeling better soon :)

So my sinful bacon wrapped sweet potatoes got postponed as I wasn't able to cook last night...son made simple BBQ pork chops, rice and carrot curls.

Tonight we are having tri tip with the bacon wrapped sweet potato fries...making them up this morning so the men only need throw them in the oven if needed at dinner time.

Oooh, rice sounds like a great idea as a binder for my veggie loaves. I don't always have bread crumbs, but I do virtually always have rice.

Easy recipes are always wanted and needed  :)  It's his Addison's, He's been sleeping around 15 hours a day.  He just has no energy.  When he does we try to hit the golf course and relax and have fun.  He's been feeling so well this summer so he's kinda bummed.  I got him a bucket of chickens the other day, but now I have to cook  :o  :lol:

I didn't know you were a golfer gluten-free Lover--we are too....well we used to be, we haven't been out much in the past couple years but hoping to get back to it soon!!  I used to be a single digit handicap but doubt I am any more.  Our kids golf in college too.

 

I'm not really cooking tonight--found some Barilla pasta for $1.99 so I got some of that and I'm making spaghetti.  I'm trying to figure out how to sneak food into the ball game on Sunday.  We have a company outing there an no outside food allowed.  All the food is free for us, I just can't eat any of it....they do bag checks so no luck bringing it in my purse...oh well, I think there might be chips I can eat LOL.

 

Hub's mom makes Porcupine Meatballs too :D.  I usually make meat-loaf with crackers, not bread crumbs and use BBQ sauce instead of ketchup.

I take food everywhere.  Usually the folks checking don't understand Celiac Disease so I do say I have severe allergies and can not eat out safely.  Only one time did my meal get tossed...and that was when my hubs was carrying my bag for me....now I let him carry until we are at the check point ;)

 

That being said...many chips and candy are gluten-free :D

I'm trying to remember what they had last year--hot dogs, hamburgers for sure but I can't remember what else there was or if there were chips/candy even.  I know they had peanuts and popcorn but who knows what CC goes one in that stand.

Hubs is the golfer, he was grounded for about 4 months because he had 3 neck discs replaced but he's back at it. I had to stop some time ago.  I drive the cart and take pictures of the beautiful course.  

 

The chicken loaf turned out awesome.  I have never had tomatoes with chicken before.  I really liked it.  Hubs even liked it, he had TWO servings...lol.  Thanks again K.

      @BlessedinBoston, it is possible that in Canada the product in question is formulated differently than in the USA or at least processed in in a facility that precludes cross contamination.

      No,Lindt is not gluten free no matter what they say on their website. I found out the hard way when I was newly diagnosed in 2000. At that time the Lindt truffles were just becoming popular and were only sold in small specialty shops at the mall. You couldn't buy them in any stores like today and I was obsessed with them 😁.

And it is also possible that the product meets the FDA requirement of not more than 20ppm of gluten but you are a super sensitive celiac for whom that standard is insufficient.

At that time the Lindt truffles were just becoming popular and were only sold in small specialty shops at the mall. You couldn't buy them in any stores like today and I was obsessed with them 😁. Took me a while to get around to checking them and was heartbroken when I saw they were absolutely not gluten free 😔. Felt the same when I realized Twizzlers weren't either. Took me a while to get my diet on order after being diagnosed. I was diagnosed with small bowel non Hodgkins lymphoma at the same time. So it was a very stressful time to say the least. Hope this helps 😁.

      @Jmartes71, I understand your frustration and anger.  I've been in a similar situation where no doctor took me seriously, accused me of making things up, and eventually sent me home to suffer alone.   My doctors did not recognize nutritional deficiencies.  Doctors are trained in medical learning institutions that are funded by pharmaceutical companies.  They are taught which medications cover up which symptoms.  Doctors are required to take twenty  hours of nutritional education in seven years of medical training.  (They can earn nine hours in Nutrition by taking a three day weekend seminar.)  They are taught nutritional deficiencies are passe' and don't happen in our well fed Western society any more.  In Celiac Disease, the autoimmune response and inflammation affects the absorption of ALL the essential vitamins and minerals.  Correcting nutritional deficiencies caused by malabsorption is essential!  I begged my doctor to check my Vitamin D level, which he did only after making sure my insurance would cover it.  When my Vitamin D came back extremely low, my doctor was very surprised, but refused to test for further nutritional deficiencies because he "couldn't make money prescribing vitamins.". I believe it was beyond his knowledge, so he blamed me for making stuff up, and stormed out of the exam room.  I had studied Nutrition before earning a degree in Microbiology.  I switched because I was curious what vitamins from our food were doing in our bodies.  Vitamins are substances that our bodies cannot manufacture, so we must ingest them every day.  Without them, our bodies cannot manufacture life sustaining enzymes and we sicken and die.   At home alone, I could feel myself dying.  It's an unnerving feeling, to say the least, and, so, with nothing left to lose, I relied in my education in nutrition.  My symptoms of Thiamine deficiency were the worst, so I began taking high dose Thiamine.  I had health improvement within an hour.  It was magical.  I continued taking high dose thiamine with a B Complex, magnesium. and other essential nutrients.  The health improvements continued for months.  High doses of thiamine are required to correct a thiamine deficiency because thiamine affects every cell and mitochondria in our bodies.    A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function.  The cerebellum of the brain is most affected.  The cerebellum controls things we don't have to consciously have to think about, like digestion, balance, breathing, blood pressure, heart rate, hormone regulation, and many more.  Thiamine is absorbed from the digestive tract and sent to the most important organs like the brain and the heart.  This leaves the digestive tract depleted of Thiamine and symptoms of Gastrointestinal Beriberi, a thiamine deficiency localized in the digestive system, begin to appear.  Symptoms of Gastrointestinal Beriberi include anxiety, depression, chronic fatigue, headaches, Gerd, acid reflux, gas, slow stomach emptying, gastroparesis, bloating, diarrhea and/or constipation, incontinence, abdominal pain, IBS,  SIBO, POTS, high blood pressure, heart rate changes like tachycardia, difficulty swallowing, Barrett's Esophagus, peripheral neuropathy, and more. Doctors are only taught about thiamine deficiency in alcoholism and look for the classic triad of symptoms (changes in gait, mental function, and nystagmus) but fail to realize that gastrointestinal symptoms can precede these symptoms by months.  All three classic triad of symptoms only appear in fifteen percent of patients, with most patients being diagnosed with thiamine deficiency post mortem.  I had all three but swore I didn't drink, so I was dismissed as "crazy" and sent home to die basically.   Yes, I understand how frustrating no answers from doctors can be.  I took OTC Thiamine Hydrochloride, and later thiamine in the forms TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and Benfotiamine to correct my thiamine deficiency.  I also took magnesium, needed by thiamine to make those life sustaining enzymes.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins, so the other B vitamins must be supplemented as well.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.   A doctor can administer high dose thiamine by IV along with the other B vitamins.  Again, Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine should be given if only to rule Gastrointestinal Beriberi out as a cause of your symptoms.  If no improvement, no harm is done. Share the following link with your doctors.  Section Three is especially informative.  They need to be expand their knowledge about Thiamine and nutrition in Celiac Disease.  Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test for thiamine deficiency.  This test is more reliable than a blood test. Thiamine, gastrointestinal beriberi and acetylcholine signaling.  https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12014454/ Best wishes!
