Yankee pot roast with horseradish, braised onions and carrots. Potato salad for him, cottage cheese for me. He prounounced it a "slammy" (ultimate compliment for him, as in grandslam).

It took a bit of label reading to find horseradish without questionable ingredients, finally found Gold's brand, which includes horseradish, passover vinegar and salt.

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

How were the lemon bars? I've been meaning to look for a recipe for those. it's something my grandmother always made around Chistmas when she was still alive and I've been missing them. I'll have to give that recipe a try.

They were good! I also made a pan of Pamela's brownies. Came home with just one lemon bar and half a pan of brownies. I was the only one gluten-free so if my gluten-eating friends like them, that says something.

I think next time I'll use the same amount of crust in a 9x13" pan for a thinner crust and double the lemon filling.

Tonight I fixed Curried Coconut Chicken (from the latest issue of Taste of Home), rice and fresh green beans. I've been in such a rut and just needed to try something new.

As the weather has cooled off a bit I am taking advantage of it and am making:

Focaccia

Spring Pea Soup with Chive Oil (would normally also add a homemade peppered creme fraiche but am making a far healthier choice so am not!)

Sauteed Julienned Zucchini with Lemon Mint Vinaigrette

I am also making a big batch of marina sauce to have on hand.

I made potato pancakes with sour cream on top and minestrone soup. I also baked Challah bread and something like croissants stuffed with strawberry jelly for snack.

My husband have a bowl of gluten free wide noodles with farmer cheese and butter from yesterday.

I was out and about tonight. So I'm having a salad with leftover lemon, thyme, basil chicken, blueberries,red grapes,and strawberries with a natural balsamic dressing. Perhaps some avocado slices too! Kids went to taco bell when I was gone. Tomorrow a chicken, boccoli and cheese casserole. My kids love it when I make this with gluten-free bisquick. That and the cheese, bacon and fresh chive bread.

It all sounds so good--especially the chive bread.

We had grilled garlic shrimp and twice baked potatoes for him, (I had my twice baked potato for lunch with Lovetotravel's reccomendation of tuna, and it was great! :D ) So I had sweet potato tonight. And a fresh sliced peach and a square of dark chocolate.

That's awesome - glad you liked it. Potatoes make such a great vehicles. :) How big was your square of chocolate? Hmmmm?? Kidding...you probably exercise more restraint than I. :lol:

I can honestly say it was the best lunch I've had in a very long time, and want to thank you for suggesting it.

With respect to the chocolate, I have to show respect and restraint to soy. So I had one Hershey's Dark Chocolate with Almonds Nugget. Before I knew better, though, I could have made my way through that bag in a night or two. I could polish off a pint of ice cream in one setting, especially if it was NY Fudge Chunnk by B&J. :D

Aw...that is really sweet of you! Unfortunately I will not be posting for two days as I will be away Thursday and Friday but will be sure to again Saturday! :) In Autumn when it is cooler (our leaves are actually falling off the trees already) and then in Winter I make yummier heartier meals such as osso bucco. Can't wait! We do not have A/C so I melt in heat...

I'm glad. Lunch can be ho hum at times so it is nice to look at things differently! :D

Oh, man. I am with you on the ice cream. I could polish a pint off quickly, too, but am exercising my new lactose restraints! Plus I am making a huge effort to decrease my cholesterol and incorporate more grains, legumes and so on.

I made a big roast last night. Not sure what I'm making for dinner tonight but today and tommorrow I'm going to be doing some baking so we have some baked goods incase huricane Irene knocks out the power here. I'm making cornbread muffins and some type of flat bread for sure. What else should I bake? What would y'all make to prepare for a storm?

I think I'd be good with anything that's a vehicle for peanut butter? :D

Maybe have fresh fruits and veggies that could be eaten raw, bottled water, canned tuna, baked beans, or sardines in case the power goes out?

Oh..and pack a little overnight bag with undies,tooth brush, socks, meds, make-up..whatever in case you have to leave?

I hope the storm misses you entirely!

I did go to the store today to get veggies and meat. It was sort of comical comparing my cart to all the people buying milk and bread in large quantities. I filled my cart with grapes, oranges, apples, salad, carrots, onions, celery, cucumber, potatoes, bell peppers, squash, zucchini, hummus, olive oil, steaks, kabob meat, ground turkey and ground bison. It was mostly a normal grocery run for me. The only thing I bought for the storm was an extra propane tank so if the power goes out we can cook everything on the grill. I already have an emergency stash of canned goods and peanut butter and jelly, etc. And we have plenty of bottled water too. I would have liked to get some extra D batteries but they were out at 3 different store so I gave up. We'll make due with the batteries we have. We have enough for our radio but not enough to power the flashlights so we can either listen to the radio or use a flashlight, lol. We have lots of candles though we can use for light if we have to. Last I heard the storm was coming right for us on Saturday. Only time will tell how much force and rain it hits us with. I'm hoping they can tell me something concrete at the four o'clock news.

I just made soup from Sour Kraft and steamed some "donuts", "cakes" or "dumplings" (I don't know have to translate this)stuffed with Italian plums and covered with chocolate filling.

I will post recipe later.

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      I respectfully disagree, @Scott Adams. Thiamine deficiency (and deficiencies in other B vitamins) can cause unintentional weight loss. The body will use stored fat and muscle to provide energy in thiamine deficiency. This results in muscle wasting, fat loss, fatigue, and difficulty putting on muscle mass. Using stored fat and muscle for energy requires...

      Digestive symptoms yet negative celiac screening

      You may know this already, but in addition to what you've described, you may also want to get a genetic test. About 1/3 of people have one of the genetic markers that are necessary (but not sufficient) for getting celiac. If your son is one of the 2/3 of people that don't have the marker then it is almost certain he does not have celiac. (The genetic test...

      Fiber-Metabolizing Bacteria Could Boost Gut Health in Celiac Disease

      That is really interesting, especially because it points to how the gut microbiome may still stay altered in celiac disease even after going gluten-free. The idea that a fiber like inulin could help feed beneficial bacteria and reduce inflammation is encouraging, although I imagine some people with celiac disease or other gut issues might still need to introduce...

      Digestive symptoms yet negative celiac screening

      @Irishgirl5, it does sound possible for those numbers to fluctuate a bit, especially when they are near the upper end of normal, but ongoing symptoms still make it understandable that you are concerned. The fact that his tissue transglutaminase immunoglobulin A is still technically in range does not always make the picture feel any clearer, especially with...

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      I respectfully disagree, @Scott Adams.   Thiamine deficiency (and deficiencies in other B vitamins) can cause unintentional weight loss.  The body will use stored fat and muscle to provide energy in thiamine deficiency.  This results in muscle wasting, fat loss, fatigue, and difficulty putting on muscle mass.  Using stored fat and muscle for energy requires less thiamine than the amount of thiamine required to process carbohydrates.  Thiamine deficiency causes gastrointestinal Beriberi, a localized thiamine deficiency in the digestive tract, which results in dysbiosis, inflammation, and abdominal pain.  Carbohydrates can remain undigested in the intestinal system, which bacteria feed on, encouraging SIBO, and prompting dysbiosis, leaky gut, and inflammation.  Following a low carbohydrate Keto diet, like the AutoImmune Protocol diet, can help because it removes excess carbohydrates that the bacteria feed on.  SIBO can cause weight gain due to inflammational edema of the intestines (water retention in the tissues of the intestines), gas, and slowed transit times.  SIBO bacteria can absorb nutrients from your food before you can, resulting in additional deficiencies of other B vitamins and nutrients.   Thiamine deficiency is corrected with high dose Thiamine Hydrochloride, Benfotiamine and/or Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide).  High dose thiamine in the form Benfotiamine has been shown to promote intestinal healing.  It improves "leaky gut".  High dose Benfotiamine will improve the gut microbiome in favor of beneficial bacteria.  Thiamine TTFD is beneficial for neurological issues.  Thiamine TTFD improves brain function and is beneficial for mental health issues such as depression and anxiety, and other neurological problems like Ataxia and Brain Fog.    Methylated (activated) B Complex vitamins help correct Thiamine deficiency because all eight B vitamins work together.  Vitamin C and the four fat soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K) are needed as well.  Minerals like Magnesium, Calcium, Iron,  Potassium, and others may need to be supplemented as well.  Thiamine and Magnesium make life sustaining enzymes together.   Supplementing with high doses of Thiamine and other water soluble B vitamins will lower pain and inflammation, improve fatigue, improve muscle mass gain, as well as regulate the intestinal microbiome!  So, @Stegosaurus, you can get healthier while improving gut dysbiosis at the same time!

The idea that a fiber like inulin could help feed beneficial bacteria and reduce inflammation is encouraging, although I imagine some people with celiac disease or other gut issues might still need to introduce it carefully depending on tolerance. It definitely feels like an area worth watching, because anything that could help support healing beyond just avoiding gluten would be valuable.

The fact that his tissue transglutaminase immunoglobulin A is still technically in range does not always make the picture feel any clearer, especially with tummy pain, nausea, constipation, and diarrhea still going on. Anxiety can certainly add to gastrointestinal symptoms, but I can see why you would not want to assume that explains everything. It sounds like keeping an eye on things and being cautious with diet changes makes sense, especially if symptoms continue. Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.
