KarenG mentioned heating up frozen Chebe's breadsticks in her toaster oven. I don't have one and don't have room in my galley kitchen for another appliance.

Frozen pre-cooked Chebe breadsticks can be plopped in a standard toaster (my setting is at 3) and they come out pefect!!!! :)

I made some of the breadsticks into knots, and two of those frozen knots fit into my toaster (so I'll be flattening future batches), and they turned out good, but a bit cool in the middle. (Im thinking a double toast would be good at a "2" and they'd be awesome for breakfast sanwiches or BLT's.

The toasted breadsticks/buns were so much better than UDI's, and the toasting really improved the texture of the bread. The best thing is that they were ready so quick, I actualy thought of this during our meal. :) "Do you want some bread, hon?" "That would be great!"

Just thought this could help someone else, so wanted to share.

Thanks!

I do have an oven toaster (no slice vertical one, though).

I am liking Chebe so far. I really like the focaccia bread, as does hubby. FYI I think they serve it at The Ritz Carlton for gluten-free guests!!!

I tried the pizza crust and I think I undercooked it but it was still ok. And FAST. Bought a pizza pan (holes in it) today so may try again soon.

Have the breadstick and rolls box but haven't tried it yet.

I bought the focacciia mix but have't tried it yet. The local HF store had Chebe's on sale for $2.29 last week! (I stocked up.)

Good luck with your holy pizza pan. I find it best to stick it on a lower oven rack for (still trying to determine the right amount of time, but I think it's 2/3 the time, then rotate it and move it to the top of the oven for the remainer 1/3 baking time. I use the holy pizza pan for the breadsticks and rolls, I think you'll be happy with your purchase.

And designate AN oven mitt or use a dish towel to cushion your fingers, or just suck it up and turn the breadsticks over miday through baking. (I know you're wondering why I don't use tongs, but they haven't worked thus far.

I love the flavor of Chebe bread. When I was a little girl, we brought nickels and pennies to Sunday School for the poor children in South America who had no bread. They had to eat bread made from manioc flour. I want my money back! That's good stuff.

We reheated frozen cooked pizza today in the oven. It was good, but I tought outloud that next time I'd try reducing the amount of chese in the crust. DP thought it was fabulous, but he likes everything, and said it was like a New York crust. I think next time I make the crust I'll use 1/2 vs. 1 cup of cheese. It was good, but the crust was moist in the midddle (so I think DB made that up about NY).

I used less cheese the second time I made the focaccia.

      Get tested for vitamin deficiencies. Though neuropathy can be a symptom of celiac, it can also be caused by deficiencies due to poor digestion caused by celiac and could be easier to treat.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much...

      We feel your pain. It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.
