Wow! Great Stuffed Mushrooms!

Because of the "What's for Dinner" thread, I bought ground lamb at an outrageous price, $8.99 per pound. (I had to try the gyros!) I had left over 'shrooms that I bought for pizza. I googled lamb stuffed mushrooms and regrettably can't attribute the author, but had a yum moment tonight.

I mixed about 1/8 cup ground lamb with about 3 T. minced onion and scallion, a T. of chopped sage, and the chopped remains of the mushroom stems. Then I mixed in approximately 1/3 cup feta cheese. I filled the mushrooms with that mixture and baked them at 400 degrees in a casserole dish for 30 minutes. I originally placed those shrooms on a cookie sheet, but realized they'd produce liquid, so stuck them in a casserole dish.

Once they were cooked through and browned nicely, I removed the stuffed mushrooms to a plate. I added about 2 T Greek yogurt to the baking juices, stirred that up, and drizzled the sauce over the stuffed 'shrooms. OMG. It tasted better than beef stroganoff.

We had other stuff tonight, but it was all about the 'shrooms. I love it when we discover new good things, this was one of those moments.

that sounds deee licious!! what a great idea - i am *always* stumped by the 'what's for dinner?' question - nobody ever makes any suggestions. some day i'm gonna feed them cat food. maybe that'll teach 'em HAHAHA

marilyn - the grocery store didn't have any ground lamb (just my luck) the recipe i was loosely following called for 2lbs so i subbed 1 lb ground pork and 1 lb (of all things) organic buffalo meat that was on manager's special. i would bet 1 lb of pork and 1 lb of lean ground beef would work pretty well also. 4 kids + no $$ = i am the Queen of the Improvise.

("yes. there IS mayonnaise in this cake. i had no eggs. you want cake or not?")

ROFLOL notme!

Good for you for improvising! For the gyros, I'm using lamb and lean ground beef and I'm going to whirl a few pieces of bacon up in the blender, or maybe not. (The thought of having to wash my blender after whirlling up bacon is right up there with eating cat food!) I was planning to use lamb and ground chicken, but the grocery didn't have ground chicken.

I had the 'shrooms for lunch today. I eat before everyone else and everyone in sniffing distance of the lunchroom said, "Wow that smells great, what are you eating?" It was kind of gratifying being the object of food envy from my co-workers that can (and do) eat anything on the planet! :D

Did you make the gyros yet?

i did make the gyros :) i have a food processor from 1985 (seriously! it is a GE and it still works lol) so it was 1 lb ground pork, 1 lb ground buffalo about 8 cloves of garlic and 1/2 an onion, salt n pepper - just about killed the old processor <been trying to kill this thing for yearssss.... ! anyway, got that ground up into a "paste" and jammed it into a loaf pan and baked at 375F for about an hour , took it out of the oven (drain grease) then set another weighted loaf pan on top of it for 20 minutes and it squished the rest of the grease out of it. it was the first time i made it this way and it turned out so good (and it was easy) that i won't make the meat any other way now. i may use different meat, though, just for variety. or what's on sale lol! did you try the udi's pizza crust? that is what i ate my 'gyro' on (just made a pizza out of it and put tomatoes, lettuce, onion, cucumber/yogurt stuff that i can't spell, etc on at the end) next time i might just make a giant pita out of the crust and bite it in a huge sammich. yummmzz :) first, i am trying your mushrooms :D i'll just TELL them it's cat food HAHAHAHAAAA!! :evil:

Wow! That GE food processor can take a lickin and keep on ticking! :D

We had gyros tonight, yum! I used a reciped from the slow cooker 365 site modified with an Allrecipes recipe.

Mine was on a flatbread I make with chick pea flour. (We have an Indian grocery store so the flour is inexpensive.) I haven't tried Udi's pizza dough yet. Is it good?

I for some unknown reason decided to add shredded red cabbage to the yogurt sauce last night. So our sauce was pink! (Not pretty, but by gosh it tasted good!) I loved the gyros!

Gyros will become something we do evey month I think.

By the way, I found a recipe on how to make your own yogurt on the crockpot site. I'm thinking about trying that. :)

Hi Cougie,

Here's the link. I think I remember in the comments section that it said you can make it with lactose free milk but the person who tried it with coconut milk failed. Not sure it will work with your casein free diet, but here it is... I'm pretty sure nobody tried it with cashew or rice milk, and I think the person who tried coconut milk didn't use raw coconut milk. Good luck, hope you have good results with your yogurt making. There's another link for making coconut milk yogurt somewhere on the forum. but I for the life of me can't remember where.

I think I'd try it with homemade almond milk vs. almond breeze. Here's a link that explains that. I had a problem (probably soy connected) with almond breeze...

If it works, let me know! Good luck!

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

      thank you so much for your detailed and extremely helpful reply!! I can say with absolute certainty that the less gluten containing products I've eaten over the past several years, the better I've felt.

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

      Welcome, @catnapt! The most recent guidelines are the daily consumption of a minimum of 10g of gluten (about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for a minimum of two weeks. But if possible stretching that out even more would enhance the chances of getting valid test results. These guidelines are for those who have been eating gluten free for...

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

      after several years of issues with a para-gland issue, my endo has decided it's a good idea for me to be tested for celiac disease. I am 70 yrs old and stunned to learn that you can get celiac this late in life. I have just gradually stopped eating most foods that contain gluten over the past several years- they just make me feel ill- although I...

      Accuracy of testing concerns

      The biopsy looks for damage to the mucosal lining of the small bowel from the inflammation caused by celiac disease when gluten is ingested. Once you remove gluten from the diet, inflammation subsides and the mucosal lining begins to heal.

      Doctors and Celiac.com

      Our support groups in Iowa have tried for years to educate doctors and resource sites like this one. We have held yearly conferences with continued education classes. We have brought in Dr. Murray, Dr. Fasano, Dr. Green and Dr. elliott. In those many years we may have had 2 doctors attend. We sent them information, with no response. I talked to...

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

      By catnapt · Posted

      thank you so much for your detailed and extremely helpful reply!! I can say with absolute certainty that the less gluten containing products I've eaten over the past several years, the better I've felt.   I wasn't avoiding gluten, I was avoiding refined grains (and most processed foods) as well as anything that made me feel bad when I ate it. It's the same reason I gave up dairy and eggs- they make me feel ill.  I do have a bit of a sugar addiction lol so a lot of times I wasn't sure if it was the refined grains that I was eating - or the sugar. So from time to time I might have a cookie or something but I've learned how to make wonderful cookies and golden brownies with BEANS!! and no refined sugar - I use date paste instead. Pizza made me so ill- but I thought it was probably the cheese. I gave up pizza and haven't missed it. the one time I tried a slice I felt so bad I knew I'd never touch it again. I stopped eating wheat pasta at least 3 yrs ago- just didn't feel well after eating it. I tried chick pea pasta and a few others and discovered I like the brown rice pasta. I still don't eat a lot of pasta but it's nice for a change when I want something easy. TBH over the years I've wondered sometimes if I might be gluten intolerant but really believed it was not possible for me to have celiac disease. NOW I need to know for sure- because I'm in the middle of a long process of trying to find out why I have a high parathyroid level (NOT the thyroid- but rather the 4 glands that control the calcium balance in your body) I have had a hard time getting my vit D level up, my serum calcium has run on the low side of normal for many years... and now I am losing calcium from my bones and excreting it in my urine (some sort of renal calcium leak) Also have a high ALP since 2014. And now rapidly worsening bone density.  I still do not have a firm diagnosis. Could be secondary HPT (but secondary to what? we need to know) It could be early primary HPT. I am spilling calcium in my urine but is that caused by the high parathyroid hormone or is it the reason my PTH is high>? there are multiple feedback loops for this condition.    so I will keep eating the bread and some wheat germ that does not seem to bother me too much (it hasn't got enough gluten to use just wheat germ)    but I'm curious- if you don't have a strong reaction to a product- like me and wheat germ- does that mean it's ok to eat or is it still causing harm even if you don't have any obvious symptoms? I guess what you are saying about silent celiac makes it likely that you can have no symptoms and still have the harm... but geez! you'd think they'd come up with a way to test for this that didn't require you to consume something that makes you sick! I worry about the complications I've been reading about- different kinds of cancers etc. also wondering- are there degrees of celiac disease?  is there any correlation between symptoms and the amnt of damage to your intestines? I also need a firm diagnosis because I have an identical twin sister ... so if I have celiac, she has it too- or at least the genetic make up for having it. I did have a VERY major stress to my body in 2014-2016 time frame .. lost 50lbs in a short period of time and had severe symptoms from acute protracted withdrawal off an SSRI drug (that I'd been given an unethically high dose of, by a dr who has since lost his license)  Going off the drug was a good thing and in many ways my health improved dramatically- just losing 50lbs was helpful but I also went  off almost a dozen different medications, totally changed my diet and have been doing pretty well except for the past 3-4 yrs when the symptoms related to the parathyroid issue cropped up. It is likely that I had low vit D for some time and that caused me a lot of symptoms. The endo now tells me that low vit D can be caused by celiac disease so I need to know for sure! thank you for all that great and useful information!!!

      Welcome, @catnapt! The most recent guidelines are the daily consumption of a minimum of 10g of gluten (about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for a minimum of two weeks. But if possible stretching that out even more would enhance the chances of getting valid test results. These guidelines are for those who have been eating gluten free for a significant amount of time. It's called the "gluten challenge".  Yes, you can develop celiac disease at any stage of life. There is a genetic component but also a stress trigger that is needed to activate the celiac genes. About 30-40% of the general population possesses the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% of the general population actually develop celiac disease. For most with the potential, the triggering stress event doesn't happen. It can be many things but often it is a viral infection. Having said that, it is also the case that many, many people who eventually are diagnosed with celiac disease probably experienced the actual onset years before. Many celiacs are of the "silent" type, meaning that symptoms are largely missing or very minor and get overlooked until damage to the small bowel lining becomes advanced or they develop iron deficiency anemia or some other medical problem associated with celiac disease. Many, many are never diagnosed or are diagnosed later in life because they did not experience classic symptoms. And many physicians are only looking for classic symptoms. We now know that there are over 200 symptoms/medical problems associated with celiac disease but many docs are only looking for things like boating, gas, diarrhea. I certainly understand your concerns about not wanting to damage your body by taking on a gluten challenge. Your other option is to totally commit to gluten free eating and see if your symptoms improve. It can take two years or more for complete healing of the small bowel lining once going gluten free but usually people experience significant improvement well before then. If their is significant improvement in your symptoms when going seriously gluten free, then you likely have your answer. You would either have celiac disease or NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity).

I am 70 yrs old and stunned to learn that you can get celiac this late in life. I have just gradually stopped eating most foods that contain gluten over the past several years- they just make me feel ill- although I attributed it to other things like bread spiking blood sugar- or to the things I ate *with* the bread or crackers etc   I went to a party in Nov and ate a LOT of a vegan roast made with vital wheat gluten- as well as stuffing, rolls and pie crust... and OMG I was so sick! the pain, the bloating, the gas, the nausea... I didn't think it would ever end (but it did) and I was ready to go the ER but it finally subsided.   I mentioned this to my endo and now she wants me to be tested for celiac after 2 weeks of being on gluten foods. She has kind of flip flopped on how much gluten I should eat, telling me that if the symptoms are severe I can stop. I am eating 2-3 thin slices of bread per day (or english muffins) and wow- it does make me feel awful. But not as bad as when I ate that massive amnt of vital wheat gluten. so I will continue on if I have to... but what bothers me is - if it IS celiac, it seems stupid for lack of a better word, to intentionally cause more damage to my body... but I am also worried, on the other hand, that this is not a long enough challenge to make the blood work results valid.   can you give me any insight into this please?   thank you

I mention this site to everyone.  Scott has working hard for the Celiac community.
