Today I had a frozen Udi's pizza.  They are on sale at Target for $5 (not sure how long) and if you use their cartwheel app, you get 5% off.  Their app works like a scannable coupon on your phone, no gimmicks like some of those other coupon apps you see on the crazy couponer blogs.  They basically have 5%off most Udis items right now, and my Target at least has a lot of their new frozen items now.  Their big lasagna with meat sauce is really good.  Totally worth the $9.99 since lasagna can cost a lot to make.

 

They also have 20% off Canyon Bakehouse bread with the cartwheel app until Feb 14th, for my fellow fans of that brand.  Good time to stock up, have them get you frozen ones from the back.

 

Last night was taco night.  I have been a little sick so trying to make easy stuff.  My husband ate at schlotzkys today with his coworkers, they all ordered personal pizzas and were wondering why they cost so much.  Turns out they were all charged $2 to have gluten-free crust, which they definitely didn't request.  My husband said he politely corrected his coworkers when they went "oh well I guess we ate healthy then"... LOL he makes me so proud :)  He said it was good so I wonder which one they are using, didn't see on the website.  Highly doubt that place can make it safely gluten-free.

This week, we had a yummy beef, Ital sausage, potato and bell pepper dish.  I put too much broth in it so it was more like stew.  Very yummy.  Added a bit of red wine and some pepper flakes.

 

Tonight nachos and refried bean dip.

I have just enjoyed salmon risotto...made real easy! I cooked the salmon (for two people) in a wok with a little olive oil, I then  added some garlic, salt and pepper, a handful of frozen peas and a little water, I put the lid on and let it cook slowly for 10 minutes, I drained the water, and added some dry pre cooked rice I had in the fridge..I served it with a squirt of lemon juice and it was so good, but more importantly  quick!

I did up an Artichoke and Sweet Italian Sausage baked Ziti  (Tinkyada, I <3 you)

and in the fridge, awaiting our drool, is a White Chocolate and Amaretto Cheesecake on a grain free almond/amaretto graham style crust. There is also a bottle of Tangello (Limoncello orange style) in the freezer to go with.

Right??  I would LOVE to host you! haha It would be great to host people that were able to feel 100% safe about eating at my home simply because my kitchen is gluten free on top of a tasty gluten-free meal.  I keep that recipe blog here because I hope that newly Dx'ed people will be able to have a look/see and feel a bit better because a person CAN MAKE ANY GASTRONOMIC DELIGHT they wish witIh a few gluten-free (or grain free or dairy free..whatever) tweaks.  Dinner parties though.. appetizers, fancy drinks, a main course, and a dessert PLUS haha I like the decorating and choosing music and planning games.  Yep I like the whole shebang.  I like friends coming early to help wiht the prep too because even that is fun. and THEMES??? gahhh  I love it! :D mouahahha  aww... I need some friends. :(

 

 

Tonight I have passed the local pizzeria menu out and told everyone to choose their pizza.  I will make it to specification for them in my own kitchen.  I bought pizza boxes from the pizza place when I picked up the menu. haha :D  When the SO gets home from work tonight we will have family movie night too. Its finally MY TURN to choose.  I think we are going to watch The Messenger.

Ah this evening I will be making a Stuffed Pepper Soup.  Before I get started on it, I will be making copy cat Campbells Tomato Soup , and THEN we will get busy! I just finished a Salted Caramel Fudge that is chilling in the fridge. I even did dishes today as the others were complaining that I "only" cook.  Someone needs to have a talk with them! LOL

They definitely need to do the dishes considering the gourmet masterpieces you are feeding them... ROFL!!! 

 

Yesterday was a very fatigued lupus day, but I made it through the grocery store with my husband, and we made nachos when we got home with some meat I had frozen that was already cooked.  Then for dinner I was so tired I could barely stand, so my husband made me one of my favorite sick meals- green beans and mac n cheese.  I thought it was so sweet, I need to get him working for me in the kitchen more, lol

 

What am I cooking tonight?  Hm, I guess I will do pancakes or something.  I have been slacking off and napping instead of meal planning.

Mycasmom...Yum again! The fudge sounds so good. Chocolate is my favorite food group so I'm partial to that.

Laura...I'm sorry to hear of the lupus struggle but it so sweet to hear how your hubby loves you. One of my cousins has lupus and it is such a hard disease.

I made spaghetti and meatballs tonight with garlic bread and green beans. Very enjoyable comfort food.

I ran out of dish soap with a sink full of dishes, so I went by walmart late this evening, not a place I usually go, so I decided to see if they have the new Pillsbury Funfetti gluten-free cake mix.  They had that and the cookie mix.

http://www.pillsburybaking.com/products/gluten-free/funfetti-cake-mix

 

I was pretty ecstatic to find this, as the original funfetti was a favorite as a kid.  I made the mix, the batter had to be spread, not poured.  But overalll turned out very good!

 

The pillsbury funfetti frosting is not labeled gluten-free like their regular frostings, so I used a duncan hines one- vanilla with sprinkles.  The ingredients on the Pillsbury looked okay with a quick glance, but there is probably a reason it isn't labeled as such, so I went with the sure thing. So, check walmart if you want to try it, but at mine it wasn't in the baking aisle, it was on one of their big displays in the middle of the main aisle where valentines baking stuff was.

Tonight is left over night. That Stuffed Pepper Soup I made last night was fantastic..and there was a lot of it. We all had 3rds.  The recipe I tried for copy cat cambells tomato soup was astounding!  just WOW!!! Just like the real thing and all gluten/grain free. YES! *makes arm in the air pumping motion*  I will post it on my blog later.

I made some pulled pork in the crockpot so the last 2 days we have and sandwiches with Gates BBQ sauce on it and a vinegar (not evil mayo) based coleslaw.  Add a tart apple, like granny smith, to the coleslaw!  So good!

 

Tonight we are having chicken mole enchiladas with a rice with some veggies in it 0 carrot, peas, corn, peppers.

 

Tomorrow night we are making pizza I have a nice Italian seasoned crust and I am thinking ricotta, pancetta, red onions, with marinara and some moz, too.  A chocolate flourless cake with raspberry sauce and maybe a bit of vanilla ice cream or gelato

Oh that sounds YUMMY.  Pizza is the perfect food!  I did up some more Fried stuffed Gnocchi and Arribiatta for Valentines day. The fam REALLY devoured it. I like it too. :D

 

tonight though?  I am thinking we will go simple. Some fresh made butter (easier to make than you think and delish!) and I am going to give a large hunk of artisan style gluten-free bread with a salty crust a try and pull it out of the oven with some slices of apples and fresh cheeses. Some hot tea to go with.  Strange dinners at the Starry Night Stronghold (That's what I call wherever we are living,)

      Many of the symptoms, there are over 200, associated with celiac disease and NCGS are vitamin and mineral deficiencies caused by small intestine damage in the case of celiac disease and food avoidance and the poor nutrittion of the Modern American Diet (MAD) I used to turn the heat on even at 78 degrees.  The 600 mcg of Liquid Iodine helped.  Also good for hair, nails, skin and brain fog.  Another good thing for brain fog is phosphatyl choline.  It is essentil for acetylcholine- a brain chemical. I have familial hyperlipdemia and instead of a statin I got a prescription for Nicotinic Acid, 2000 mg a day.  I was already taking 500 mg a day and was really surprised when my HDL when up to  44 and I began sleeping better and my legs and back are getting more flexible.  In addition after the first few doses of itchiness I get a warm fuzzy feeling Raising your vitamin D is crucial.  Low vitamin D allows the immune system to run amuck. intermittent bouts of fatigue, chills/cold intolerance, and shortness of breath/air hunger (sometimes feels like a hollowness in my chest, hard to describe).  Look at Thiamin deficiency. consistently ran hot, was always cranking the a/c, to someone who wears a down vest.  Any combination of deficiencies in B1, B2, B3, B5, choline and Iodine can cause this.  Likely all of them. After a lifetime of mouthbreathing GFD cleared my sinuses.  Post nasal drip is my first symptom of cross contamination nowaday.

      If you mean continueing on Gluten Free my answer is yes.  She showed significant improvement in her behavior and that translates to a happy family.  Do get her tested as sooon as you can.  You might want to investigate genetic testing for Celiac Disease.  Children recover more quickly than adults.  It took my son about 6 months on Nutramigen before going to regular food, gluten free.  Blood tests are not always accurate in very young children. You may be advised to see a gastroenterologist instead of relying on blood tests results. Logic: She is better off gluten than before.  Wheat flour has no nutritional value and has an omega 6: omega 3 ratio of 22:1.  Our bodies do better at 3:1.  Omega 6 causes inflammation. When my son was diagnosed, back in 1976, his doctor recommended my wife and I also go gluten free.  We declined and lived to regret it.  I started GFD at 63 and have spent the last 10 years undoing the damage, some of my symptons went all the way back to my childhood and things I lived with all my life got better.
    • Wheatwacked
      Hi @Nicbent35,             When my son was diagnosed with Celiac Disease when he was weaned, so I understand your frustration.       With improvement so dramatic, it cannot be a coincedence. Get her to the doctor and tell the story and insist on testing.  In the meantime, though, continue on GFD.  Her health is more important than convincing a doctor.  Bring videos of her behaviors if you can.  Even if the blood tests and biopsy prove negative, that is part of the diagnosis process for NCGS and later when she is recovered you can always do a Gluten Challenge.      This is an important time in her developement.  Celiac Disease causes malabsorption syndrome, leading to malnutrition, regardles of what she eats.  Though NCGS may not cause malabsorption, it will affect food choices which can lead to malnutrition.  There may be benifits that an official diagnosis may have, but they don't trump a healthy child.      Get her healthy, then worry about validation later.  Celiac Disease is difficult to diagnosed, especially in children, because doctors look for antibodies in the blood and young children have immature immune systems.  Also you don't mention any gastrologic symtoms and celiac disease is traditionally considered gastrolic only.  Not true.  There are over 200 symptom that celiac disease and the accompaning malnutrion mimics or causes that often causes misdiagnosis and delay in recovery. While at the doctors, ask them about vitamin D deficiency and Iodine deficiency in particular. Milk being the primary source of iodine in the diet, but concerns exist regarding the lower iodine content in organic milk and reduced milk consumption in certain demographics.  Vitamin D deficiency is 40% of the industrialized population and a recent study in the Great Britain showed a wopping 60%, beaten only by some areas of Canada at 70%. And B1, B2, B3, B5 and B6.  Deficiencies in these are common in untreated Celiac Disease and they affect energy production. Are You Confused About Your Celiac Disease Lab Results?
    • knitty kitty
      @plumbago, Are you taking any folate with your B12?   Folate helps regulate HDL levels.  You may try taking a methylfolate supplement with your B12.   If there's a folate deficiency because you aren't absorbing sufficient folate, or have the MThF mutation causing a functional folate deficiency (methylfolate trap), you can have a functional B12 deficiency despite supplementing, resulting in HDL levels not getting regulated, but running high or low.   Pushing the envelope in explanations, too. P. S. Are you taking a B Complex?  Folate and B12 Cobalamine need enzymes made from B6 Pyridoxine's interaction with Thiamine, and B2 Riboflavin's interaction with Thiamine.  Is your Vitamin D low?
    • Nicbent35
      Thank you for all that helpful info, does that mean it’s not a good idea to do what I’m doing? Or since it’s only been a week should I see if I could get her tested now? Would it show up still since it hasn’t been long if they tested her?
