You should come to Colorado... so pretty!

No egg noodles...I wish! No lingonberry either. But it will be yummy!

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

Yesterday we made spaghetti.  Tonight I have some chicken to grill up, and the rest of the week I have easy stuff lined up since I have to go for IVIG tomorrow.  I had a 1/4 sized dose of the new stuff last week and it made me almost as ill as the last stuff, so I anticipate not feeling well and being away from the computer for a few days.

OK, it won't be for dinner but my big meal is lunch - I just had some lasagna that a gluten-free friend sent over. Her whole house is gluten-free so I know it was safe, and WOW! Was it good! She used the tinkyada noodles and it had meat and two different cheeses and mushrooms and who knows what else in it. It was the first lasagna I've had in four years. I've got some of the tinky noodles at home but haven't gotten around to making it yet. Think I'm going to have to do it soon because you know how it is with lasagna - one serving is never enough.

Lasagna sounds so good Bart! Lucky you to have a friend like that!

Tonight will be pork carnitas with cilantro like rice.

Last night we had a lovely potato and pancetta frittata.  With a spinach, orange, red onion, feta and vinegrette salad.

That salad sounds yummy Kareng!

 

I have been letting things slide.  SO far this week I have made up a GIANT batch of Colcannon that we ate for 2 days.

 

Last night I made home made chinese. Hunan Beef with extra vegetables, Fried rice, and a LOT of fried wontons... except made them in spring roll wrappers.  Filled them with cream cheese, sriracha, and green onions, and made a dipping sauce of honey, sriracha, and soy sauce (actually coconut aminos). We all went to bed feeling so full it was almost uncomfortable..no..it WAS uncomfortable LOL

We've had a week with activities right around dinner...A band concert one night, high school orientation another. I let the kids eat hot dogs for dinner one night. They were super happy. Another night I made chicken sandwiches and last night was chili. Tonight I'm making coconut flour crusted chicken tenders, tossed salad and roasted sweet potatoes.

Well I have been on a lazy streak since I had lots of medical stuff going on recently, laundry laying around the house... I did clean the toilets, though, LOL.  Catching up now, finally.  Until next Tuesday another IVIG treatment.  My new stuff seems promising on making me less sick afterwards.  Today I made chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes, gravy, and carrots to add a veggie in there, lol.  A meal I make like once or twice a year, so good though.  I made a big batch of crock pot red beans earlier this week, with some cornbread.  Ate on that a few days.  This weekend I was feeling really poorly and I just told my husband I want comfort tasty food and to please take me to get pizza at our favorite place, LOL.  So, we did that.  I ate a lot of it, kind of sat heavy but it was good!  

 

I got a new blender since I blew my last one up, it was a $10 cheap crappy one, lol. I got the Nutri Ninja Auto IQ on sale for $50 off at Target.  I like it, kind of in between small and large, but I don't need their giant jar blenders that come with a mixing bowl thing, I already have other tools that can do that stuff.  

 

Tomorrow I think I am just going to make some grilled chicken with roasted sweet potatoes and green beans.

Well, it is snowing in the DFW area.  Roads are totally a mess since it started after people went to work and then they all tried to slip n slide home.. LOL.  My husband stayed home and here in a little bit he is going to make me a grilled cheese, and I am going to try my hand at making gluten-free Cinnamon Rolls... the right way with yeast and stuff.  Something I haven't had in years.  Using the KAF recipe... wish me luck!  LOL

Laura...Please report back on the cinnamon rolls. They sound great. My kids would love it if I made them. I made gluten free chocolate donuts for Valentines Day breakfast and the looks on their faces were priceless.

Tonight I'm having what has become my Friday night dinner...salmon, baked sweet potato and zucchini sautéed in coconut oil. Yum!

Good Luck Laura!  I hope they turn out perfect! :D :D  My SO secretly goes to cinnabon (like i don;t know?) hahaha  He has an addiction.  I tried a few times but I havent been able to get them just right.

 

Tonight we are having Philly Cheesesteak Macaroni and Cheese (thank you Tinkyada!) and a nice anti-pasto salad alongside.

Although its hot where I live I still like to make curry..and so tonight I used my Wok to make a real nice chicken curry.   I like to make my curries on top of the cooker sometimes rather than putting them in the oven, usually when I want to cut down on time.   And so  I threw in the chicken, with (3 tsp ghee  which I made myself, as it is then lactose and casein free) 1 onion,4 tsp curry powder, 1 tsp turmeric, 2 tsp sugar, salt, garlic, finger of grated ginger,handful of sultanas, tin of coconut milk, and six tomatoes, ( I have been avoiding tomatoes recently, but I feel like its an important ingredient for my curry),and then I added the coconut cream from the top of the coconut milk,stirred it all in, and left it to cook slowly...just before serving I add some cilantro ....and it was delicious!!
 
I also made an apple crumble, mainly because my daughter is coming over later and she absolutely loves them!  The difference with this one is that I added some oats and a few nuts to the mix which gives it an interesting twist.
 
I have had a craving for chocolate recently, I miss not being able to just pick up a chocolate bar..and so I put a cup of dairy free choc chips into a bowl, and into the microwave, when melted I added a small handful of Almonds (without their skin) a small handful of plump sultanas, and a small handful of Pecans, and hazelnuts, I stirred them all together and placed a spoonful on a tray covered with grease proof paper. I got about 12 chocolate nutty Fridays from this recipe, and they will last me quite some time in the fridge. I think its just knowing that I can have something really nice when I want to that stops me from feeling miserable sometimes about food. 
 
Also I stopped smoking last year, and so I have become a lot more interested in food!!

The cinnamon rolls were a success!!  These roll up easily if you follow their directions.  Great texture... perfect.  They have you bake them in muffin tins so they aren't perfectly straight, but they rise well and have a lovely top for the icing to melt in to.  http://www.kingarthurflour.com/recipes/gluten-free-cinnamon-rolls-recipe

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @McKinleyWY! There currently is no testing for celiac disease that does not require you to have been consuming generous amounts of gluten (at least 10g daily, about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least two weeks and, to be certain of accurate testing, longer than that. This applies to both phases...

      Hello all, I was diagnosed at the age of 2 as being allergic to yeast. All my life I have avoided bread and most products containing enriched flour as they contain yeast (when making the man made vitamins to add back in to the flour). Within the last year or so, we discovered that even whole wheat products bother me but strangely enough I can eat...

      A little about me and my celiac disease

      I know what you mean. When I get glutened I have severe gut cramps and throw up for 2-3 hr. and then have diarrhea for another several hours. Avoid eating out if at all possible. It is the number one source of gluten contamination for us celiacs. When you are forced to eat out at a new restaurant that you are not sure is safe, try to order things that you...

      Welcome to the forum, @McKinleyWY, For a genetic test, you don't have to eat gluten, but this will only show if you have the genes necessary for the development of Celiac disease.  It will not show if you have active Celiac disease.   Eating gluten stimulates the production of antibodies against gluten which mistakenly attack our own bodies.  The antibodies are produced in the small intestines.  Three grams of gluten are enough to make you feel sick and ramp up anti-gluten antibody production and inflammation for two years afterwards.  However, TEN grams of gluten or more per day for two weeks is required to stimulate anti-gluten antibodies' production enough so that the anti-gluten antibodies move out of the intestines and into the bloodstream where they can be measured in blood tests.  This level of anti-gluten antibodies also causes measurable damage to the lining of the intestines as seen on biopsy samples taken during an endoscopy (the "gold standard" of Celiac diagnosis).   Since you have been experimenting with whole wheat bread in the past year or so, possibly getting cross contaminated in a mixed household, and your immune system is still so sensitized to gluten consumption, you may want to go ahead with the gluten challenge.   It can take two years absolutely gluten free for the immune system to quit reacting to gluten exposure.   Avoiding gluten most if the time, but then experimenting with whole wheat bread is a great way to keep your body in a state of inflammation and illness.  A diagnosis would help you stop playing Russian roulette with your and your children's health.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @McKinleyWY! There currently is no testing for celiac disease that does not require you to have been consuming generous amounts of gluten (at least 10g daily, about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least two weeks and, to be certain of accurate testing, longer than that. This applies to both phases of testing, the blood antibody tests and the endoscopy with biopsy.  There is the option of genetic testing to see if you have one or both of the two genes known to provide the potential to develop celiac disease. It is not really a diagnostic measure, however, as 30-40% of the general population has one or both of these genes whereas only about 1% of the general population actually develops celiac disease. But genetic testing is valuable as a rule out measure. If you don't have either of the genes, it is highly unlikely that you can have celiac disease. Having said all that, even if you don't have celiac disease you can have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms as celiac disease but does not involve and autoimmune reaction that damages the lining of the small bowel as does celiac disease. Both conditions call for the complete elimination of gluten from the diet. I hope this brings some clarity to your questions.

      Hello all, I was diagnosed at the age of 2 as being allergic to yeast.  All my life I have avoided bread and most products containing enriched flour as they  contain yeast (when making the man made vitamins to add back in to the flour).  Within the last year or so, we discovered that even whole wheat products bother me but strangely enough I can eat gluten free bread with yeast and have no reactions.  Obviously, we have come to believe the issue is gluten not yeast.  Times continues to reinforce this as we are transitioning to a gluten free home and family.  I become quite ill when I consume even the smallest amount of gluten. How will my not having consumed breads/yeast/gluten for the better part of decades impact a biopsy or blood work?  I would love to know if it is a gluten intolerance or a genetic issue for family members but unsure of the results given my history of limited gluten intake.   I appreciate the input from those who have gone before me in experience and knowledge. Thank you all!

It is the number one source of gluten contamination for us celiacs. When you are forced to eat out at a new restaurant that you are not sure is safe, try to order things that you can be sure will not get cross contaminated like a boiled egg, baked potatos, steamed vegies, fresh fruit. Yes, I know that doesn't sound as appetizing as pizza or a burger and fries but your health is at stake. I also realize that as a 14 year old you don't have a lot of control over where you eat out because you are tagging along with others or adults are paying for it. Do you have support from your parents concerning your need to eat gluten free? Do you believe they have a good understanding of the many places gluten can show up in the food supply?
