Buffalo burgers ... maybe bison? I can't remember which one you can buy in the store. Whichever one is not an endangered species is the one we're eating!

Last night--vegetable risotto with lots of carrot, spinach and cheese and acorn squash. A big batch, as I'm taking some to husband's company Christmas party tonight. Restaurant will heat and plate it for me--they thought bringing my own food would be "safer for everyone". :rolleyes:

Last night I made stuffed acorn squash. The filling was a smokey-apple chicken sausage from TJ's, onion, carrots, garlic, butter and herbs. Baked @ 400 for 50mins.

Vegan chili. Lentils instead of beef. The regular ingredients for chili plus a bag of frozen peas, frozen peppers and frozen chopped spinach. Must try to get as many veggies into my son as possible! Of course all he ate was his cheese toast :rolleyes:

You've got to hide the veggies better, maybe under the cheese on the toast?

I don't blame him :rolleyes: I wouldn't eat any of those veggies either :unsure: no matter how well they was hidden and no matter what enticements were offered :P No offense intended to the veggies or the mom who offered them. Maybe he knows they are not good for him????

I like my chili like that too - more like a veggie soup than a traditional chili. Only I do add some beef sometimes.

Was it too spicy for him? Sometimes kids are more sensitive to spiciness than adults. Although I assume you've made this for him before and you know his tolerance levels...

Tonight I cooked my first steak :P I used this marinade: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Savory-Garlic-Marinated-Steaks/Detail.aspx Turned out pretty good! I also roasted some small potatoes and carrots with o.oil and herbs in the oven @425 until they looked done. The carrots were so sweet!

I bought a Costco chicken a couple days ago and made soup from the bones. I boiled some of the strong, dark green stalks from the outside of celery with the chicken, and took it out along with the bones. I picked off the meat, cut up a little breast I had set aside and added veggies.

I was experimenting with different veggies and added a couple leeks, parsnips, salt, pepper, a bay leaf, a generous sprinkle of dried parsley, and a bunch of mushrooms. It turned out really good, although you do have to like the unusual flavor of parsnips. B)

Tonight is chicken and dumplings! We use the new gluten free Bisquick and it makes *Amazing* chicken and dumplings...yum! We have it about once a week now :) Plus, it's a good way to get veggies in. Rather than use 1 cup of mixed frozen veggies like it calls for, I just dump the whole bag of veggies in :P

Stir fried beef with snow peas inspired by this recipe: http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2010/10/beef-with-snow-peas/ Although I will use Coconut Secret in place of the soy sauce and onion instead of the scallions.

Last night was turkey spaghetti sauce with added spinach and bell pepper strips over mung bean noodles.

Today's breakfast was an omlette with a bit of the sauce in it. Today's late lunch may be split pea soup made in a squash soup base, and I just filled my crock pot with veggies and put some turkey soup stock on top to make a sort of turkey-veggie soup.

I'm also baking a bunch of sweet potatoes and yams that I didn't use for whatever I bought them for, so I need to figure out a plan for those. May add some to the soup, may have a bit for lunch with salt and peanut oil, may try to find out if cooked sweet potatoes freeze well.

Last night, in my son's wee kitchen, I made oven fried chicken, smashed potatoes, and broccoli.

Today for lunch I had the aforementioned big bowl of homemade popcorn :D

I luuuve parsnips. Cooking up some 24 hour chicken broth right now with the rest of the chicken (fried chicken breast picnic style on Friday night, braised legs and things Saturday night, carcass and wings into the soup pot yesterday. Lots of leeks and carrots and onions and celery with the leaves on. Think I am going to turn it into a chard soup, and freeze the rest of the broth

Jestgar Rising Star

Think I am going to turn it into a chard soup.....

how do you do this?

I was thinking it would be fun to have a soup party. Put out a bunch of types of soups with tiny ladles and give everyone a big cup and a spoon. You can taste as many as you want, or just chow down on what you liked.

mushroom Proficient

how do you do this?

Think I will do something like this:

Leek and Swiss Chard Soup

"Zuppa di Porri e Bietole"

(Serves 4)

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 leeks, white and light green parts, cut into 1/2-inch slices

8 ounces Swiss chard, cut into 1- inch pieces

6 cups chicken stock

1/2 cup Arborio rice

Salt and pepper

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

In a large saucepan over low heat, cook the leeks in the butter and oil until tender and golden.

Add the Swiss chard and chicken stock and bring to a simmer.

Cook until the chard wilts, about 10 minutes.

Add the rice, salt, and pepper.

Cover and cook over low heat about 20 minutes until the rice is cooked.

Stir in cheese and serve.

I made creamed chicken and biscuits with the Bisquick mix today too, for my family. I baked the biscuits in the oven and served the creamed chicken on top. Put 2 frozen chicken breasts in the crockpot, added frozen veggies, a few frozen pearl onions and cream of chicken soup base, and a little chicken seasoning and let it work it's magic. There are nice packaged cream soups available these days but I needed to use what I had on hand and had none in the pantry so used this recipe http://thehappytummy.wordpress.com/2010/03/11/cream-of-chicken-soup-gluten-free/ with stock I made from the T-Giving turkey carcass. I made it a few days ago to save work today. I made half a recipe and used 10oz. of it. I added a spash of milk to the crockpot when it was all done cooking.

For my low-carb cow's milk dairy-free meal, I had roasted chicken, steamed califlower, roasted asparagus with pecans and a low-carb flax muffin.

I lucked out tonight! I took my neighbor half a melon, about half a lb. of fresh green beens and some lovely Italian ham. She sent me home with chicken chili, two avacados and mango chutney. She's one of the people on a very short list who I trust to cook for me. The chili has peppers, onion, chicken, celery, two kinds of beeans, tomatoes and cinnamin in it.

I wasn't in the mood to cook because I chooped up a whole bloody leg of lamb to freeze for making soups and stews.

Tomorrow I think I'll have an artichoke, rice and pork tenderloin. Maybe asparagus too. I haven't had a dessert in months, but I don't seem to crave them anymore.

If you haven't tried them before, rutabagas delicious! Yum!

Potato and leek soup (used recipe from Mark Bittman's Vegetarian Cookbook); broiled turkey burgers with grated onion & tumeric; and steamed fresh green beans and carrots. Luckily, made enough soup for leftovers later this week.

Juliebove Rising Star

Tomorrow will be gluten-free pasta with red sauce. I will add a little ground beef that I have already cooked and put in the freezer. Have to have a quick meal before dance class.

I love Mark Bittman's cookbooks!

And this thread has me wanting soup, so today I will make some potato soup and broccoli soup.

Tonight I'm making turkey burgers and oven fries. I made my own gluten-free buns for the first time using King Arthur gluten-free bread mix. They look more like biscuits, but I think they will be yummy.

      But HDL is considered to be the "good" cholesterol, right?
    • plumbago
      Since some time between 2010 and 2014, my HDL-C has been going up and you might even say elevated. The last time I could find in my records that my HDL was normal was in 2014 when it was 67. Last week, it was 101, and it’s been 88 and above since about 2015. A significant life event happened in 2010 when I was diagnosed with Celiac disease and in May of that year began a gluten free diet. An informal perusal of a previously posted topic on HDL on this forum shows that a lot of members responding had high normal or high levels of HDL, so it doesn’t seem to be that unusual. But because my HDL numbers have been so high for so long, I am now officially concerned enough that I will probably reach out to a cardiologist who specializes in lipids. I would like to know if I should have a genetic test, as a specific genetic mutation can be one reason for high HDL numbers. I will also ask if he/she thinks a cardiac work up including a coronary artery calcium score should be considered. I think by now most of us are done with the ridiculous good and bad cholesterol labels; the amount of what we don’t know about HDL is quite large. For me my questions include is it a matter of production or an inability to clear HDL, and are the high levels having an effect on my vasculature (or a result of a less than optimal vasculature)? My last TSH level was normal, so it's likely not a thyroid issue. I also take B12 regularly. I’ve read that niacin can cause HDL levels to go up, but B12 is not niacin, and I could find no definitive link between robust B12 supplementation and abnormally high HDL levels. Any input is appreciated! Plumbago

      @Mynx, how long have you been gluten-free? I ask because many newly diagnosed celiacs react to many things, and often think their reactions are caused by gluten, when in fact, they are really caused by a combination of a sensitive gut due to damage, as well as additional food intolerance/leaky gut issues to other foods which may be temporary until their villi heal.

      Many major brands of distilled vinegar in the USA, including Heinz white vinegar, are typically made from corn. In the United States, corn is a common and cost-effective raw material used in the production of distilled white vinegar. The process involves fermenting the sugars derived from corn into alcohol, which is then further fermented into acetic acid to produce vinegar. Distillation follows, which purifies the liquid and removes impurities, including any residual proteins or allergens. While the source of the vinegar (e.g., corn) is not always explicitly stated on the label, corn-derived vinegar is widely used in the food industry due to its neutral flavor and affordability. For individuals with gluten intolerance or celiac disease, distilled vinegar made from corn is generally considered safe, as the distillation process effectively removes gluten proteins. However, if you have concerns about cross-contamination or specific sensitivities, it’s always a good idea to contact the manufacturer directly to confirm the sourcing and production practices. Heinz, for example, has stated that their distilled white vinegar is gluten-free and safe for those with celiac disease, but verifying this information can provide additional peace of mind. The belief that distilled vinegar is gluten-free is rooted in the scientific understanding that gluten proteins, which are large and complex molecules, are generally too big to pass through the distillation process. Distillation involves heating a liquid to create vapor, which is then condensed back into a liquid form, leaving behind larger molecules like gluten proteins. However, the concern about cross-contamination arises from the possibility that gluten-containing ingredients may have been present in the liquid prior to distillation. While the distillation process itself is highly effective at removing gluten, the equipment used in production could potentially introduce trace amounts of gluten if not thoroughly cleaned between batches. For most individuals with gluten sensitivity or celiac disease, distilled vinegar is considered safe because the gluten content, if any, is typically below the threshold that would trigger a reaction. However, for those with extreme gluten intolerance or celiac disease, even trace amounts can cause adverse effects. This is why some individuals, like yourself, may choose to avoid commercially produced distilled vinegar and opt for alternatives like apple cider vinegar, which can be verified as gluten-free. The meticulous process of researching ingredients and preparing homemade products, such as ketchup, is indeed challenging but crucial for maintaining health and avoiding gluten exposure. It’s important to note that regulatory standards for gluten-free labeling vary by region, and in many places, products labeled "gluten-free" must contain less than 20 parts per million (ppm) of gluten, which is considered safe for the vast majority of people with celiac disease. Nonetheless, individual sensitivity levels can vary, and your approach highlights the importance of personalized dietary management for those with severe gluten intolerance.

      I have been diagnosed with Microscopic Colitis (LC) for quite a few years, so I have been gluten-free and DF.  I would like to get tested for Celiac Disease because of the possibility of cross contamination and colon cancer.  And if you were hospitalized and didn't have a celiac diagnosis you could not get gluten-free food, I don't know if that is true or not.  Also because there is chance of colon cancer so I want to know if I have Celiac Disease and need to be on very restrictive diet.  The only testing I did was a sigmoid scope and Enter Lab but no gene testing.  I know I can go back to eating gluten for a few months, but I would worry you would have to stay home for the few months while getting gluten.  What other options do I have?  Should I do the gene testing?  Maybe through Entero Lab?  Any other tests?  How important is it to have Celiac diagnosed? Thank you! Barb
