Ok, it was made abundantly clear to me today that people have preconceived notions that anything I cook over the holidays is going to suck since it will be "gluten free".

So veterans, please roll out the killer recipes for us newbies, please!!! Suggested blogs, articles??

I need a killer pie crust recipe, and suggestions on how to mimic the french bread texture in oyster stuffing - reduce the liquid??

I have been diagnosed since April so I wouldn't say I'm a veteran....HOWEVER, I do have my family over often for dinner....since I've been diagnosed they haven't noticed a change in food I make aside from desset....Even at that...Betty Crocker makes an excellent chocolate cake mix (not as soft day 2...still good, similar to a brownie. Day 1 is fluffy tho!)

In the organic section there are gravy packages made with corn starch! they are good.

You can always make mashed potatoes mixed iwth sour cream and melt cheddar cheese ontop!

Veggies are yummy sauted in Kraft golder italian dressing (its gluten-free)

Watch your turkey and ham you buy!!! some have perservatives with gluten :( but some do not!

I can't help you with the pie crust, sorry! Good luck!

I made a crumb pie crust with gluten-free ginger snap cookies. It was the best crust for pumpkin pie! You could use margarine I think there is a soy free one - Earth Balance? I've seen that subject mentioned here.

Not pie or oyster recipes, but favorites for us:

I promise, NO ONE will know this is gluten free bread: Open Original Shared Link

I have gotten so many comments from people about this bread. I've even turned it into cinnamon raisin.

PB cookies (again, NO ONE will know they are gluten-free):

Easiest Peanut Butter Cookies

1 C. peanut butter

1 C. sugar

1 egg

1 tsp. vanilla

Mix all ingredients in a bowl, roll into 1 inch balls. Place cookie balls on an ungreased cookie sheet or cookie sheet lined with parchment paper and smash like a # sign with a fork. Cook in 350 degree oven until lightly golden about 8 to 10 minutes. Cool and enjoy! You can cook these until just done for softer cookies-or longer for crunchy ones. You can double or triple amounts to make more cookies-there

So far the dinner menu for Thanksgiving this year looks like this:

Oven roasted turkey

Oven baked ham

rice stuffing

mashed potatoes

home made turkey gravy ( using rice flour as a thickener but you also could use corn starch)

candied sweet potatoes

green beans in cheese sauce (again using rice flour to make the white sauce for the cheese )

cranberry sauce

Apple crisp

Home made cheese cake with gluten free gram cracker crust

strawberry jello salad using gluten free pretzels

yeast rolls are something that my daughter and I have not been able to make "up to standard" yet but we are still trying

**edited to add**

I forgot the relish and cheese trays :)

      Heat intolerant... Yikes

      By captaincrab55 · Posted

      Hi Colleen H,   I suffered with the pins and needles/burning feeling in my legs and feet for at least  6 years until my Nephrologist figured out that I had to go on a low salt diet.  He said my kidneys weren't strong enough to remove the salt.  The simple fix was a diuretic, but that med leaves the uric acid behind, so that wasn't an option.  On the bright side the low salt diet lowered my BP over 20 points and and the pins and needles/burning feeling went away.  Good Luck and hope this helps.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      I assume that you already know that genetic testing for celiac disease cannot be used to confirm a celiac diagnosis. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop celiac disease. It can be used to rule out celiac disease with a high degree of confidence, however, in the case where the genetic testing is negative for the genes. Until and unless you are actually diagnosed with celiac disease I would not raise this as an issue with family. However, if you are diagnosed with celiac disease through blood antibody testing and/or endoscopy with positive biopsy I would suggest you encourage first degree relatives to also purse testing because there is a significant chance (somewhere betwee 10% and almost 50%, depending on which studies you reference) that they will also have or will develop active celiac disease. Often, there are symptoms are absent or very minor until damage to the small bowel lining or other body systems becomes significant so be prepared that they may blow you off. We call this "silent celiac disease".
