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 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

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. <_<

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.

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 ;)

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

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

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.....

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!

      Major Glutening

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you've described is every celiac's nightmare, and it's very frustrating to be failed by a product that was specifically labeled as safe. It would be great to know which product it was so others here can be warned. Six weeks of inadvertent exposure is a significant insult to your system, and it's no wonder that after two weeks you are still feeling the effects. The body, especially the nervous system when dealing with ataxia, needs considerable time to calm the inflammatory response and begin to heal. It's common for a major glutening to take several weeks to even a few months for symptoms to fully resolve, so be patient and gentle with yourself—you are on the right track. The anxiety and panic are also a very real, physiological part of the reaction for many of us, compounding the feeling of helplessness. What you're feeling is not a step back to your pre-diagnosis state; it's a severe but temporary flare. Focus intensely on the basics now: rest, hydration, and simple, whole foods. You have not undone all your progress. Your body remembers how to heal; it just needs time and a safe environment to do so. You are not alone in this.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By lmemsm · Posted

      Thank you for mentioning that.  My main reaction to gluten seems to be related to the skin and breaking out.  So, I'll definitely take that under consideration when trying to figure out how to better supplement calcium.  I'm trying to use lower oxalate and lower histamine greens like broccoli, baby bok choi, collards and Lacinto kale.  Recently, I've been getting migraine reactions to spinach, possibly from the histamine.  I do use Malabar spinach (not related to spinach) but only a leaf or two in foods and I don't think it has a high calcium content.  I should check into longevity spinach and Moringa again.  Some gardeners in our area grow them.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      I tried algae based calcium supplements, but because I have Dermatitis Herpetiformis I broke out with dermatitis herpetiformis blisters.  Do be careful.  Iodine, whether in iodized salt or seaweed or some types of fish, can stimulate dermatitis herpetiformis. I stick to cruciferous veggies (broccoli, kale and other green leafy veggies), but I avoid spinach.  Many people have problems with oxalate formation (kidney stones) with spinach and calcium supplements.   Do remember to take Vitamin D and Vitamin C with Calcium.  Talk to your doctor and dietitian about supplementing with Vitamin A and Vitamin K, and Boron and Magnesium as these vitamins and trace minerals are important to bone formation as well.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Since you moved away from dairy, it's definitely a challenge to get enough calcium, and your point about its proper absorption is crucial—it's not just about intake, but also making sure it goes to the right places. Since you prefer food-based sources when possible, you could first focus on incorporating more non-dairy, calcium-rich foods like fortified plant milks or juices, canned sardines or salmon with bones, tofu made with calcium sulfate, dark leafy greens like kale and collard greens, and almonds. If you still feel you need a supplement, your research on algae-based calcium is spot-on; it's often praised for its bioavailability and balance with other trace minerals, which may help with proper absorption. While the cost is higher, you might find it's worth it as a targeted solution, potentially taken every other day or a few times a week alongside your dietary efforts, rather than a full daily dose. It's great that you're already so mindful of your nutrient sources with the Brazil nuts and seaweed—this holistic approach is the best way to build a solid nutritional foundation.
