Thanks Irish! :) The zucchini that I got given to me were enormous and the pancake recipe came nowhere near using them up! I will check those out.

 

I used to work in South Florida--I did a 9 month missionary project down in the Florida Keys. While I was there I stayed on Grassy Key, about 6 miles from the town of Marathon.

I would be having zoodles every night. lol I love them sauteed in EVOO and garlic.

 

but you could also make this;

Oooo these look good! I want to make these tonight :D

Yummy zoodles....I eat them with all kinds of sauce or butter and garlic....good stuff! Recently replaced my large countertop spirilizer with a handlehld little one that works great with less clean up...shaped like two cones with their tips joined...I think I may have linked to it before...will check when back on laptop.

Glad you had a great time Addie, but if I head to salt lake anytime soon it'll be to snowbird and alta, perhaps a day at brightstar (oldest son's first day on skis was there at three years old...we have loads of fun memories in Utah). Hubs and I used to stay in a tiny hotel in Heber city for 10-12 days for 22 bucks a night with a kitchenette...even before celiac...we always wanted a kitchen when we traveled to save money...and then drove to all the resorts from Park City to Snowbird...skipped deer park their lift tickets were much more expensive....man I miss those trips! Once the Olympics were there the prices never came back down :(

People have been talking about how they want the summer Olympics here. I see some of those slideshows of the abandoned, awful places after the Olympics are over and how everything falls apart and nothing ever gets used again. That just didn't happen here so people are pretty eager to do the summer thing. Even though I wasn't here when Utah hosted the winter Olympics, I really hate the idea. The spillover of tourists and traffic will come all the way down to me I'm sure, and my husband uses the freeway to travel to work every day. I could skip the whole thing. Of course, I skip the whole snow thing too. :P

 

Besides all the normal geek stuff I did that I was (and still am) super excited about, I did some new things too. There is a local (to Utah) dance theater group called Odyssey Dance Theatre that does a show called Thriller every Halloween that I always mean to go to but forget to get tickets until they sell out. They did a shortened version of the show there on two days, which was incredible. It's part dance, part theater, and all awesome. The Salt Lake Pops Orchestra did an hour long show to end the night Friday night. It was entirely popular geek movie and TV show music. So besides just being a geek I got some culture too. ^_^

 

Tonight I'll make battered fish and probably tater tots. No matter how crappy I'm still feeling, cleaning up after three days has to be on my to-do list and so does sewing so I'll be working for at least part of my day and don't want to put to much effort into supper. I'm also just counting down til I get incredibly sick with what my husband is finally getting over. He loves to share. <_<

BlessedMommy Rising Star

Lentil soup (with kale and rainbow quinoa in it for a little variation) and hopefully either homemade bread or pull apart dinner rolls, whichever I get around to making this afternoon.

Hubs took me out for lunch today.  Went to the Roosters place.  I talked to the Kitchen Mgr., as usual, and they use sauces and seasoning on the grill.  He offered to clean a section of grill for me to make my chicken.  So thankful to this Manager.  He went beyond what I expected  :D   Had a wonderful Chicken Cesar Salad.   Yummmmm

i make zucchini lasagne that is delicious and easy - just make like you would 'normally' make lasagne except sub zucchini sliced thin lengthwise for noodles.  it takes longer to cook, depending on how soft you like your 'noodles'  :)

I'm dining out of my go bag. Mom was transferred from hospital to rehab and caught a nasty bug along the way...so I'm sticking with her for now until her lungs clear.

So almonds, Justin's chocolate almond butter, astronaut veggie/fruit squeezes along with tons of coffee ;)

PS...I think Sandie dog has a future as a therapy dog...she has been making folks here in the rehab/skilled nursing facility happy all day.....even had a nice fellow become animated and tell us a great old doggie joke...will share later.

I didn't like Seinfeld. :ph34r: I have seen lots of it though and he was always awesome. The last episode was epic. "Alright." Bahahahaha!

Mmmm....waffle iron hash browns for breakfast. The kids love them, I love them, I only wish that I had more potatoes on hand to shred.....

Waffle iron hash browns is a brilliant idea....I think I'll throw some shredded sweet potato in my iron when I get home today.

Thanks Ruth :)

I threw a whole chicken with a bunch of fresh rosemary and a bit of broth in KFG before I left to check on mom this morning. I should be home to move it from frig to counter, but if not the guys can do it between school and work so we will all have an easy hot dinner.

Don't forget to tell those you love that you do...today.

Love you guys ;)

BlessedMommy Rising Star

I've tried them with sweet potatoes and somehow they don't come out the same. But russet potatoes work well!

BlessedMommy Rising Star

I shred up russet potatoes and toss them with olive oil and salt and them cook until brown and crispy in my waffle iron.

I posted this a couple of weeks ago.  Its different things to cook in a waffle iron.  I think they used tator tots for convience.

I know I saw one with tator tots but this is the basic idea of using your own potatoes

Can't do potato...but do have some sweet potato frozen fries that might work.

Thanks K :)

I think I might pick up a steak tonight.  I saw they have an Outback Steakhouse near me and it seems like they are very gluten friendly and have good procedures in place!  If not, I can pick one up at the grocery store and broil it---just not the same as grilled steak though.

I like your kitty Kat, K. (and you think I don't notice). Also like your quote--good one. ;)

 

Don't forget to tell those you love that you do...today.

 

 

I :wub:  you. I am thinking about you and your Mom and sending hugs.

 

 

 

Okee dokee, this evening is shaping up to be pizza night. (what? you say! but it is not Friday night!) I know. I know.

 

but my friend with the G F bakery sent me some nice fresh flour mix and it makes terrific pizza shells and rolls.

 

Baking later and well, if the dough  is right there, rising and all, I figure.....

Adalaide Mentor

I've been to Outback a few times over the last couple years and never had a problem. Of course, every location has the potential to be very different but hopefully you'll have a good experience. :)

 

I think tonight I'm going to finally get to that orange sauce I picked up last week at the Asian market. I'll make orange chicken tonight. Yay!!! There really is nothing quite like homemade, "breaded" nuggets of meat deep fried to perfection. We'll have some sort of rice and veggie with it of course. I think I still have half a bag of peas and carrots in the freezer and could make a nice fried rice for myself. mmmmmmm......

I prefer a gluten free friendly place myself.     :D   

 

Outback is a gluten free friendly place.  I think they were trained by GIG?  Not sure.  You could check the GIG site.  Part of what makes them safer is that the steaks, baked potatoes, green beans, etc don't normally have gluten in them for any diner.

Dad came to see mom so I ran home for real food and to take care of other details of life.

Wanted fresh food so ended up grating two yams...out of sweet potato :(

Then I squeezed the hell out of them in a tea towel...used butter in the iron then threw the grated yam and garlic salt on top...worked great!

Just sitting down to a yamwaffle cheeseburger...thanks ladies!

and, now, through the power of the interwebs, i am going to proceed to make my brother and son so freaking jealous.  of you, but it will be my pleasure to watch them be jealous.   of you, but it still counts ;)

      We've definitely all had such thoughts.  But as Scott says, it does get easier with time.  I'm not sure where you are posting from but in England where I live, over the last ten years or so most things I missed at first now have gluten free substitutes.   I still miss Twix bars, and chocolate Penguins (a type of biscuit) but I'm hoping sooner or later someone will create a decent substitute for them! One thing that I remember my husband said to me when I was feeling down one day  was: "Why don't you try to think of all the things you can still eat, rather than the things you can't?"  The list is long, and it did help - sort of!

      It looks like they are naturally gluten-free, but not labeled gluten-free. https://www.quakeroats.com/products/hot-cereals/grits/instant-grits-plain

      I’m so sorry you’re feeling this way—your emotions are completely valid. A celiac diagnosis, especially at your age, is a huge adjustment, and it’s okay to grieve the foods and conveniences you’ve lost. Even with a supportive partner (which is wonderful!), the mental toll is real. Many of us have been there, staring longingly at ‘forbidden’ foods while feeling isolated or frustrated. It does get easier with time, though. The initial shock fades, gluten-free substitutes become more familiar, and you’ll find new favorites. But please be gentle with yourself now. If the sadness feels overwhelming, talking to a therapist or joining a celiac support group (online or in-person) might help. You’re not alone in this—we’ve all had those ‘why me?’ moments. Sending hugs (and solidarity) your way.

      Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS. 
    • Scott Adams
      While some radlers are made with gluten-free beer, many traditionally contain wheat-based beer, so it’s definitely good you double-checked. It’s surprising you didn’t have symptoms, but reactions can vary widely among celiacs. Some people are asymptomatic or have delayed reactions, while others feel effects immediately. Even if you didn’t notice symptoms, there could still be internal damage occurring, so it might be worth verifying the brand’s ingredients or contacting the manufacturer for clarity. In the future, sticking to certified gluten-free options or cider-based radlers could be a safer bet. Glad you’re feeling okay, but always better to err on the side of caution!
