So for New Years Lunch we are mostly doing snacks, so a good list of ideas for others.
Ham and Cream Cheese Roll Ups
As a kid my mother did tortillas with cream cheese spread then ham and rolled up.
Now days I do Applegate Deli ham, soften and spread Miyoko Dairy Free Cream Cheese and scallions on it thick on one side to fill the center when rolled .
Deviled Eggs
Simple Deviled eggs with Primal Kitchen Mayo, Spicy Mustard, a bit of Apple Cider Vinegar and lemon juice, paprika, salt and pepper mix the yolk in with a hand mixer and pipe it into the eggs and top with smoked paprika.
A bit of a trick to cook them perfectly...your instapot, put a inch of water in the bottom with that metal spacer in the bottom you want the water just below it, set to steam once it starts getting hot put your eggs in top with the lid (leave the vent open) and steam for 14mins. Then place ice water bath inside a food container with lid. 15mins of this drain most the water, secure the lid and shake it 40 some odd times hard. Now you just easy remove what is left of the shell.
BBQ Weenies
Used to do this with little smokies but now days I use Applegate Organic Beef hot dogs (no filler great quality hotdogs) cut them up into 1" pieces and slow cook them in BBQ sauces of choice. I am trying a new thing, browning half the pieces in a skillet first for a crisper outside.
Smoked Salmon Squares
Nova, Scottish, or Plain Smoke Salmon precut ultra thin works here. I take Nori (seaweed sheets used in sushi) sheets and cut into 1-1.5" squares top with a bit of Miyoko Cream cheese then a bit of folded smoked salmon, this makes my favorite finger food.

While not quite a snack we are also doing Cauliflower Mash, Smoked Ham (to be diced with salad), and some of my Keto Sugar Cookies. I need to post my Mash recipe later.

Sounds great!  We are making hamburgers on the grill and some fries in the air fryer.

We made Krusteaz cinnamon coffee cake for breakfast!  I have done them as muffins, too. Very tasty.  Plenty of topping.  You could add a simple powdered sugar, milk/water and vanilla glaze drizzle, but they don’t really need it.

Y'all obviously are not in the South. We are having turnip greens (brings money), black-eyed peas (brings good luck) and pork tenderloin. Any kind of pork will do to bring more good luck. Round out with cornbread (just because it's good) and the end of the homemade fruitcake.

Everyone I know is having some version of the same. We have a lot of food customs here.

Whole family is diabetic, and I have a corn allergy so no more cornbread or black eye peas. We also had a half pound of smoked Ham left over from christmas.

Lol my dad hates turnip greens, I love them sauté with bacon. 

PS the black Eyed Peas luck thing is complete BS, 2019 was proof of that.

We had a turkey and a ham for Christmas.  Plus sweet taters cole slaw, and almond cake with swerve not sugar.  Since then made turkey soup from the bones and ham bone soup from the bones.  Ham bone soup came out more like rice and veggies since the water was a little short, but that's ok.  Ham bone soup with cauliflower, peas corn, and a wild rice mixture   Also made sauerkraut and pork for New Years. but didn't put a silver dollar in the sauerkraut.  If you put an old silver dollar in the sauerkraut while you cook it, the silver dollar comes out bright and shiny like the new year.  That's a German thing or something.

Bit of a odd one but a keto take on Migas has been my go to breakfast for half this week. Growing up my mother used to take partial bags of fritos or chips lightly crush them throw in a warm skillet and crack in some eggs and scramble over medium-low heat and serve with salsa.

I am taking 4505 pork rinds and doing the same thing but leaving out the salsa and just salt and pepper. they become a little chewy....and I SO wish I could mix in some real cheddar cheese with this. The flavor is great and it is very filling.

Tonight hubby is grilling burgers and I'm breaking out the new Air Fryer...hoping to get some good fries to go with!

mbrookes Community Regular

I  got an air fryer for Christmas and I LOVE it. So far I have done fried shrimp, fried chicken, fried pork chops and chicken fried steaks. It was all amazing and I feel like it is so much healthier than the old way of soaking everything in grease. My advice is to get a good cookbook. I am using "The Essential Air Fryer Cookbook" by Bruce Weinstein and Mark Scarbrough.  

icelandgirl Proficient

That's good to know mbrookes!  The fries were decent, but I do believe that there's a bit of a learning curve involved.  I think I'm going to have to check out that cookbook!

Tonight I'm trying breaded chicken tenders in the air fryer...air fryer part 2!  I'm also going to make Mac and cheese in the Instant pot and a salad. ?

I don't have an instant pot. Is that something y'all love?

Love both Maria Emmerich has recipe books for both air fryer and instapot with all keto and gluten free meals if you need some inspirations >,< I have yet to buy them, but plan to sometime hopefully.
I had tons of fun coming up with ways to do alternate breadings a few months back from using ground up pork rinds to different nut flour blends and binders.
The Instapot gave way to meat loaves, pot roast, ribs, and barbacoa... Found I could only stomach the meat loafs and barbacoa after trimming all the fat off prior. The rest I just gave to my parents after I found I did not handle them hell.

I do enjoy the instant pot.  I love the Mac and cheese I make in it and have used it for a variety of other things too.  For me it was a bit of a learning curve too!

I love my for many reasons.  I do not have an oven in my RV.  I can make a little meatloaf in it, cook rice, slow cook, cook dried beans or even make a small cheesecake.  I use it outside on the patio on sweltering hot days to make both broth or cook chicken fast and keep my house cool.  

Oven-Roasted rosemary chicken tonight.  Tomorrow I am making a batch of bone broth.  

The best thing is being able to walk away from your kitchen.  No pot to burn on the stove.  But that is not really an issue for me.  I hang out in my kitchen.

yesterday, we made (o gosh, I watch too much food network, lolz) a trisha Yearwood recipe for garlicky beef shank stew - made it with a venison roast in our cast iron dutch oven.  t'was delicious and basically no fat to drain off because venison is so lean.  served over jovial pasta.

Saturday, we made fried butterflied shrimp, cocktail sauce and a zucchini salad.  I was having problems with store-bought prepared horseradish, so I bought a root and ground up my own.  super easy - did it in the mini choppa - just add a little salt and I put in white wine vinegar instead of plain white vinegar.  i'm never buying prepared horseradish again.   did not bother me at all.

Friday, I finally tried the 'ATK how can it be gluten free' recipe for pizza dough.  I adjusted the flour mixture a little and added ground flax meal to it, and a little plain yogurt.  turned out good, although the recipe says it makes TWO pizza crusts, parbaked, I am a jersey girl, I want my pizza crust thin, chewy and crunchy - next time i'm making 4 or 6 crusts, but super thin and see how that goes.  you hafta 'shape' the dough with oiled plastic wrap, I can make it really thin.  that being said, it was good tasting crust, just too thick for me.  we topped it with sausage, pepperoni, green peppers, onions, black olives, mushrooms and roasted roma tomatoes (frozen from my garden) - yum, I still have leftovers, i'll be eating pizza for lunch :)

Did a bowl of scrambled eggs, 1oz bacon extra crispy, and made a cheese sauceout of Leaf Cusine Smoked gouda spread and hot water with salt and pepper. This paired well with strips of a nuco coconut wrap used for tortillas.

We had a traditional Chinese New Year dinner last night with rice, Taiwanese spinach, and fish (which is traditional for new year).

      Welcome to the forum, @Karen Chakerian, We need more information, please.   What homeopathic remedies or medications are you taking now?  Do you still have the blood pressure and other symptoms?  What is included in your diet currently?  Dairy? Oats?  Processed gluten free foods?  Vegetarian?  Other food allergies?  Do you take vitamins?  When gluten is removed from the diet, the body stops making the anti-gluten antibodies that are usually measured in blood tests used to diagnose Celiac disease.  To measure the anti-gluten antibodies, you would have to consume 10 grams of gluten (4-6 slices of bread or equivalent) per day for a minimum of 2 weeks or longer.   A DNA test which looks for the most common genes for Celiac Disease may be a less invasive avenue to pursue.  Has your doctor checked you for nutritional deficiencies? Glad you're here!

      @SaiP, Insomnia is listed as one of the side effects of Loratadine.   Niacin B3 in the form Tryptophan, Pyridoxine B 6, Folate B 9, Cobalamine B12, Magnesium, and Thiamine B 1 are needed to produce the sleep hormone melatonin.  Insomnia can also be caused by low Vitamin D and low Vitamin A.   A strict gluten free diet can be low in essential  vitamins.   Gluten containing products are required to replace vitamins lost in processing and milling.  Gluten free processed foods are not required to have vitamins added.  White rice is not a good source of B vitamins.  Brown rice is little better.  Exposure to light (even grocery store lights) and heat (during transportation) can destroy B vitamins.   B vitamins are easily lost in urine and diarrhea because they are water soluble.  If you have had diarrhea longer than two weeks, you are probably low in B vitamins.  Fat based vitamins, like Vitamins D and A, can be low due to fat malabsorption in Celiac disease, too.   Damaged villa in Celiac Disease do not absorb B vitamins and fat based vitamins and minerals well.  Supplementing with essential nutrients while villi heal boosts the ability to absorb essential vitamins and minerals.  Vitamins are stored and utilized inside cells.  Blood levels are not accurate measurements of vitamin deficiencies.  You can have normal blood levels while having deficiencies inside cells.  The brain orders cells to release their stores so the brain and heart can keep functioning.  This results in normal blood levels, but vitamin deficits inside cells.   Your indulgence in a little bit of bread is providing some, but insufficient amounts, of vitamins needed to make sleep hormone melatonin while keeping your inflammation and histamine production high.   In addition to a B Complex, I took 1000 mg of tryptophan before bed to correct my insomnia caused by high histamine levels.  Correcting my Vitamin D level to between 75-100 nmol/ml helped as well.  Also Passion flower extract is helpful in falling asleep quickly.   Please stop eating gluten bread as this will keep your autoimmune response triggering and your antibody levels won't go down and your histamine levels will stay up as well.   Celiac is a marathon, not a sprint.  P.S. I wanted to reiterate that insomnia and weight loss are symptoms of Thiamine deficiency.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that promotes intestinal healing.  Thiamine is water soluble and nontoxic even in high doses.  High doses are needed to correct thiamine deficiency. All mitochondria in cells utilize thiamine.  The World Health Organization says to take 500 - 1000 mg per day of thiamine and look for health improvement.  Diets that are high in carbohydrates like rice and gluten require more thiamine.  For every 1000 calories from carbohydrates, we need 500 mg more thiamine.  Thiamine is found in meat.  Few veggies contain thiamine. Can you rise from a squat without assistance?  This is the field test for thiamine deficiency used by WHO.  If you cannot rise easily from a squat you may be thiamine deficient.

      Earlier, you mentioned the possibility of adding in sweet potatoes. Have you tried that? Have you tried sourdough bread? Some people with celiac disease claim they can eat sourdough without a gluten reaction. The fermentation process alters the protein somewhat.

      Welcome to the forum, @Karen Chakerian! So, for the sake of clarity, you have self-diagnosed yourself as having celiac disease but are not officially diagnosed by medical testing. Is this correct?

      I’m 70 years old and have RA for 25 years. I’d never had digestive issues or even heard of celiac until 2 months ago.  6 years ago I started having serious diarrhea, dropped what little weight I had,  became very exhausted, developed rapid onset blood pressure and other symptoms. I went to the doctor for an unrelated matter and even with my records he told me they have ‘pills’ for all those things; which I turned down and sought to deal with this with homeopathic remedies.  Mid October 2024 my guts hurt terribly and started to swell. My massage therapist asked about celiac and I started to do research on it. It absolutely fits all the symptoms so I’ve been gluten free since 2 days before Thanksgiving but the huge gut persists. Thankfully the pain and cramps are gone. I look like a 90# pregnant skeleton.  I’m exhausted and looking for some encouragement from the tribe. I have good days and bad. I know living with an autoimmune disease sucks but this is even worse than the RA.
