Tonight was fish tacos...mmmmmmmm. So good!

Tomorrow night is coconut beef in the crock pot served over rice with steamed brocolli.

Am I the only person in the world who does not own a Crock Pot? Maybeso?

You gotta get you one! Christmas is coming up. (Actually, though, I probably use my pressure cooker more often than the crock pot.)

We had Greek style stuffed red peppers and zucchinis tonight. Delicious, and I figured since it had rice, veggies, meat and cheese I didn't have to mess with sides. DP gave it an A +

I've started using red peppers more since my doctor told me they're the best food you can eat, full of anti-oxidents.

Erwtensoep, traditional Dutch pea soup with smoked sausage and pork chops. A delicious and very nutricious meal-replacing soup for our wet and cold winters. It's so thick a spoon should be able to stay upright in it.

Here's a pic of what it looks like: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-1tqrsseXpA/R2lvtqvV-KI/AAAAAAAAApE/19SPuMnpyxo/s320/erwtensoep.webp

True, it looks like it has been eaten already, but the taste is great ^_^

Recipe:

500 g of split peas

400 g of pork chops, preferably still on the bones

4 gluten-free stock cubes, beef or vegetable flavour

1 bay leaf

freshly ground black pepper

3 onions

1 large carrot (300 g)

1 small celeriac (400 g)

1 large leek

5 sprigs of leaf celery, finely chopped

1 rookworst (smoked sausage) or 400 g of large frankenfurters (won't taste the same, try to get a rookworst if you can)

Tools: large kettle with lid, wooden spoon and slotted spoon

Preparation:

Erwtensoep is best when prepared a day in advance so the flavours can settle. Cook the soup, let it cool and store it in the fridge for a day.

Wash the split peas in a sieve and put them in a large kettle. Add the pork chops (still on the bones) and add 2 liters of water. Bring to the boil. Use a slotted spoon to remove the foam that floats to the top.

Add stock cubes, chopped celery leaves, bay leaf and pepper and gently cook for 30 minutes with the lid on. Occasionally stir with a wooden spoon to prevent sticking.

In the meantime, cut the vegetables. The carrot and celeriac are best chopped up into small cubes. Slice the leek and the onion finely. Take the pork chops our of the soup and cut the meat from the bone. Cut the meat into small cubes and the rookworst into slices. Add the vegetables and the meat to the soup and let simmer for 15 minutes.

As said above, the soup is best prepared a day in advance.

Eet smakelijk! (Pronounced as: ate smah-kuh-luck).

Last night we had chili made with some of the left-over turkey and an apple cake (Hub's birthday).

Leftover roast beef, probably smashed potatoes with a drizzle of olive oil, salt and pepper and maybe some leftover carrot fries and I am going to attempt to make my husband mac n cheese with the Tinkyada elbows and extra sharp white cheddar cheese and no cows milk, lucky I love him because I have a feeling it will take a while to get right.

Ellie, your soup looks delicious! Thanks for sharing the recipe!

We're having pressure cooked beef shanks, carrots and rice tonight. (Osso Busco recipe, just used a less expensive cut of meat.) DP gets cooking duty next two nights.

Thanks :) Next time I'll post another recipe for an absolute Dutch classic: hutspot. Hutspot is a dish made from potatoes, carrots and onions, traditionally served with either stewed beef or meatballs. I love winter in NL: simple yet hearty meals that really drive the cold away. People on a diet might want to skip these recipies, but I always say that one diet is more than enough for me :P I just excercise and don't snack a lot, so I stay slim.

I've had enough potatoes for this week, so today we'll have steamed rice with cooked green beans and orientally marinated bacon. My BF will want his rice with a sauce, so I'll add a curry sauce for him. Like most Dutch he prefers his potato/veg/meat, in whatever combination possible. This is so well-known in NL that we simply call it the AGV-combination.

I"m totally new to gluten free eating, so i browned up some steak in my new cast iron frying pan with butter. Threw it in the crock pot with some potatoes, carrots, an onions. The potatoes an carrots should be good an the broth should have a nice flavor. Due to healing i wont be having any steak, but it sure smelled good :)

Welcome back! So glad you had a wonderful time. We've missed you!

Sylvia, thanks! It feels good to be back with my gluten-free family! It is also nice to be missed. :D

We're having a friend over for dinner, so I'll do my BF a favour and make an oven dish with cheese. (I don't like most cheeses.)

What I'm making today once happened as an accident. I tried to make a dish called Jachtschotel (hunting dish). This is a dish which needs red cabbage, but I accidentally bought red beets. I just used that and it turned out even better. I'll open a recipe topic with traditional Dutch recipes, the Dutch kitchen uses a lot of fresh ingredients which are naturally gluten-free.

Lamb meatballs tonight. Lamb mince with ginger, garlic, gluten-free soya sauce, parsley and egg yolk. Cooked in stock, dry sherry, more soya sauce, garlic and then spring onions. Not sure yet what I'm serving with it.

Sounds lovely! I adore lamb. It is under utilized/appreciated in my opinion.

Roasted Tomato and Onion Soup with Orange Creme Fraiche

gluten-free Flatbread I made yesterday with my homemade fig jam and local fresh sheep cheese

Pear and Vanilla Bean Crisp sans ice cream

Roast chicken, a bit of fabulous thick peppercorn salami, and warm homemade applesuce (Pink Lady apples with cinnamon & cardamon pod.) I'm pretty sure it was a cardamon pod, if not, it was some obscure spice that wasn't labeled from the Indian Grocer. The mystery applesauce was fabulous. DP loved it, but he grew up on applesauce out of a jar. <_<

I think I'll use leftover chicken for a pizza with roasted red peppers, chicken, calamata olives, onion and feta cheese tomorrow night.

My feet are killing me from work! So, a baked potato, and perhaps leftover pasta salad. Carbs and more carbs! :) Why not a glass of wine too.

Tonight is pub night with my buddies, so I might as well have some fries and chicken nuggets :) Last week I've been to a gluten-free convention with a friend of mine. Such conventions are great to find products that local stores don't have. I found chicken nuggets, hamburger buns, ice cream cones with vanilla and chocolate, a traditional "amandelstaaf": a roll of puff pastry filled with almond paste. As if this wasn't great enough: the university of Wageningen showed their latest results: they developed a new kind of bread made from gluten-free oats. These oats have been grown on a field where no wheat has been planted on or near for several years. The bread is deliciously soft, fluffy and tastes just like the bread I remember :)

More of my Roasted Tomato, Garlic and Onion Soup - this time reduced some white wine to a syrup and added that to it.

More Flatbread but I also made Roasted Carrot Hummus this afternoon which goes nicely with it.

Tomorrow we are going to Thailand (well, in the kitchen, that is...).

I didn't get around to roasting the peppers, but we had pizza with chicken, salami triangles, sliced sweet red and yellow peepers, onion and garlic with mozzarella, asiago and parmesan cheese. I made the sauce from an Allrecipes pizza sauce recipe, and it turned out great!

And LOL I'm still not sure what spice I put it that applesauce yesterday, but it was even better today. I'm planning to make more this weekend!

      Has anyone had Steatorrhea (oily/fatty poop) as a temporary glutening symptom or should I be concerned I've introduced chronic gluten somewhere (like in meds)? I haven't gotten Steatorrhea since before I went gluten free. However, I moved in the past few weeks and haven't been as careful - I've eaten at restauraunts with cross contamination but only experienced minor symptoms like headache. The past week, I ate only gluten free food at home except I went to Red Robin and got fries (told them gluten-free; allergy). The next day I had Steatorrhea and the day after that.   I know it's a symptom of malabsorption so I was wondering if it was the kind of thing that could be caused by one event or if it was due to a more chronic issue. Of course I will speak to a GI but I recently moved and need to find one.   Thank you for any info

      A relative has opened another door for me on this issue -- the possibility of menopause raising HDL. Most studies suggest that menopause decreases HDL-C, however, one study found that often it's increased. "Surprisingly, HDL cholesterol was higher (p < 0.001) in postmenopausal women by 11%. Further, the number of women who had low HDL cholesterol was higher in pre vs. postmenopausal women. The range of ages were 26–49 years for pre-menopausal and 51–74 years for postmenopausal women. "This interesting finding has also been observed by other investigators. It is possible that the observed increase in HDL-C in postmenopausal women could be due to a protective mechanism to counterbalance the deleterious effects of biomarkers associated with menopause. However, further studies are needed to confirm this theory. And to the point raised earlier about functionality: "...some patients with elevated HDL-C concentrations could remain at risk for coronary events if HDL is not functional and some authors have suggested that this could be the case for menopausal women." Postmenopausal Women Have Higher HDL and Decreased Incidence of Low HDL than Premenopausal Women with Metabolic Syndrome. By no means to I think this is definitive, rather food for thought.

      Yes, lots of delicious things have barley malt. It also doesn't include rye. And there are a number of grains commonly cross contaminated such as oats.   Additionally, wheat allergies are different from gluten allergies as wheat allergies are a reaction to a wheat protein. So something *could* contain wheat gluten without causing a wheat allergic response (though realistically,  I don't know how likely that is to occur)
    • trents
      Although it is true that FDA regulations don't require gluten to be included in allergy info, it does require wheat and ingredients made from wheat to be listed. Of course, that doesn't preclude gluten from barley being found in a product.

      I had a lot of weird/random symptoms for a few months after going gluten free. But eventually they evened out and I felt SO MUCH BETTER. The person above wrote a very detailed message that looks helpful. I'd add don't forget to check for gluten in places like medicine. Advil liquigels, for example, have gluten. It's very frustrating trying to figure out if things are gluten free as us law doesn't require it to be declared. The only labeling rule is that if the product says gluten free, it must have less than 20ppm gluten.
