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

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after eating them. If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.

      By trents · Posted

      Under the circumstances, your decision to have the testing done on day 14 sounds very reasonable. But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in hospitals or institutional care and I'm guessing your physician would be willing to grant you a diagnosis of gluten sensitivity (NCGS) even if your celiac testing comes up negative. Also, you need to be aware that oats (even gluten free oats) is a common cross reactor in the celiac community. Oat protein (avenin) is similar to gluten. You might want to look at some other gluten free hot  breakfast cereal alternatives.
