Alright you talented people. I have my DS College Graduation Party next weekend. I am having an open house. I need food to feed these people and for my sake and my DS I want them to be gluten-free (we are, the rest are not) Any idea's would be great. Please include recipes, unless they are simple (I can handle the cheese and crackers LOL) :lol:

Crock pot Chicken Wings???

My recipe is for a smaller portion... for a party it would need to be quadrupled or so...

1 pound of Chicken Drumettes

2 Tblsp Vegetable Oil (for heat substitute Thai or Korean Chili oil)

1/2 Tsp Minced Garlic

2 Tblsp Ketchup or Gluten Free Barbeque Sauce

1 Cup of Honey

1/2 Cup of Gluten Free Soy Sauce

Salt and pepper to taste

For some heat add some Cayenne pepper... 1/2 tsp or so.

Place drumettes in slow cooker, season with salt and pepper. Combine all remaining ingredients in a bowl and pour over the chicken. Cover and cook for 6-8 hours on low, stiring to rearrange the chicken in the sauce a couple of times.

By drumettes, do you mean the meatier "Upper arm" part of the wing?

Sounds great! thanks. I think my DH would LOVE these! (not that he needs the gluten-free! :blink: )

Hummus cups. Or Greek salad cups. Start with cucumbers. Cut them into thick chunks, about 1" or so thick. Use a melon baller or small spoon to hollow them out so that they are the shape of little cups.

Fill with homemade or prepared hummus. Or Greek salad. For that you can use some of the removed cucmber. Chop it up and mix with some finely chopped tomato, feta cheese and chopped Kalamatta olives.

Keep the whole party gluten-free, except maybe beer, We just had people from my hub's work over and that worked great. I didn't have to worry about what I could eat at the party or after. I can eat all the left-overs because no one got gluteny crumbs on anything.

We did a wine, cheese and chocolate party - 6 cheeses (with a little tag to say what they were), crackers, carrotts & red Pep slices with hummus, pineapple, grapes, 3 kinds of choc truffles, choc caramel brownies, peanut brittle, pistachios, meriange(sp?) cookies.

I find it hard to have hot apps coming out of the oven when people are here. Everyone seems to end up in the kitchen.

Yes, I usually get the drumettes (not the smaller end of the wing with less meat) especially if it's for guests... but it doesn't really matter... it's just more meat and less skin, a better appetizer that way.

Scallops with bacon.

This is awesome with corn chips. Buffalo chicken dip. I use cooked shredded chicken instead of the canned.

Chips and salsa, guacamole

spring rolls!

plain or seasoned nuts... like spiced pecans, or honey roasted cashews

white beans pureed with roasted red peppers and roasted garlic cloves, thinned to taste with olive oil (yeah, not a recipe where I've ever measured but it's always good)

Yum those white beans sound really good... I'm adding that one to my list and will give it a try, and I'm not even throwing a party. ;)

Try soaking waterchestnuts in gluten-free soy sauce (La Choy is safe) and wrapping in bacon. Bake until the bacon is done.

An antipasta plate with olives (several types) cheese, gluten-free salami, roasted red peppers (from a jar)and pickled asparagus (Sam's has it in a jar and it is safe)

I always use Maries. It's very thick and chunky and is in the refrigerated section with the produce.

For Christmas Eve I did make the Sweet Chicken Bacon Wraps (link posted by tea-and-crumpets) and they were delicious! I used chicken breast tenders for them. PIA to make and took me twice as long as expected by everyone loved them so that made it worth it.

I also made the Mushroom-Pecan Appetizers (from the Live Gluten Freely website) and that recipe is a keeper, too. They're also good warmed up in the microwave.

Thanks for letting us know. I had copied/pasted the sweet chicken bacon wraps recipe. Will probably try it next year, but will give it your approval comment :)

I made the Sweet Chicken Bacon Wraps for Christmas Eve as well. My family loved them! I made a few for me with just brown sugar as I'm avoiding all chili's peppers etc. I enjoyed them. Now I'm trying to find something to make for New years with all my restrictions. The wrapping did take some time,but I agree worth it ;)

I'm really glad people like the chicken bacon wraps! I should have mentioned that they're kind of a pain to make, totally worth it, though, in my opinion. I made them for Christmas Eve dinner with my family, too. I will definitely use chicken tenders next time, I never even thought of using them before.

Using chicken breast tenders is taking the easy way out! So much easier than dealing with chicken breasts. biggrin.gif

I do roasted chickpeas which is fairly cheap and healthy. Rinse and drain one can of chickpeas, dry them off a little. Add 2 tsp olive oil and sprinkle with some salt and garlic or onion powder. Bake at 450 for 30-40 minutes (until they are dry and brown like nuts). You could also add a bit of cayenne pepper if you like spicy things.

My party was a huge success, thank you all for the ideas! My FIL came over and was feeling bad for me having just been diagnosed in August. He asked what out of my two table spread I could eat. I said ALL OF IT!!! He's done feeling bad for me! :D

      CT with contrast.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?

      Chances of being coeliac

      @JettaGirl, "Coeliac" is the British spelling of "celiac". Same disease.

      By JettaGirl · Posted

      This may sound ridiculous but is this supposed to say Celiacs? I looked up Coeliacs because you never know, there’s a lot of diseases related to a disease that they come up with similar names for. It’s probably meant to say Celiacs but I just wanted to confirm.

      I was told it was to see how much damage has been caused. But just told CT with contrast not any other name for it.
