If you're going..I'm going too Sylvia! I'll help you shovel. :D

:lol: Man, how I would love that! So would my husband. Shoveling and using the snow blower are not his favourite activities from a long stressful day at work.

I'll get a snow blower!

Funny. :lol: We already have one. I'll let you know when the big blizzards hit - so far we've just had normal snowfall. Sometimes the drifts are so high we have to shovel out of the house and walk on top of the drifts! Fun for kids but not for us.

Sounds like Sylvia will be inside taste-testing the cookies while the "kids" are out taking care of the walkways.

:P She and I will be baking and cooking up a storm inside where it is nice and cozy. We also have a huge driveway that needs to be taken care of...any volunteers? I promise to feed you yummy stuff! :)

I want in, but sadly, I cannot shovel either.

I can pour beverages and set the table, however. :)

And that is just the kind of thing I need! Someone I can order around. Hee hee! :P

She'll probably at least make me keep all the dirty dishes washed while she cooks up a storm. :lol:

You guessed it! Sometimes I cook so much I must do the dishes several times in one day. I have a dishwasher but don't have time to wait for it! :lol:

As I will be on your home turf, I will do your bidding ;)

I'm like a pet, feed me & I'm yours.

I always wanted a snow plow! I'll get a tractor with the plow attachment.

I do recall that conversation! The offer is still valid if you like! There is fresh snow just waiting for you to shovel. :P

I wonder how many people you've said could come and live with you! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Edit: I think we hijacked this thread. Hopefully the OP has gotten some good ideas of what to cook.

Not sure how many but I think you were the first!! :lol:

Just thought of something else to add to the list of food ideas - a pizza party! You could make a few crusts in advance and have people add their own toppings (if your grandparents go for that sort of thing). I think it could be fun!

And for dessert maybe you could have an ice cream bar with lots of toppings including chocolate, a couple of sauces, toasted nuts, fruit...

I love to cook and I am working to make my favs gluten free. Here is one of our all time favorites that is a crowd pleaser. AND it is so easy.

Open Original Shared Link

Depending on your part of the country, you may not be able to get flank steak. You can use this marinade with chicken or pork loin too. It is so good.

I use Tamari instead of soy and voila! Make sure you slice it against the grain.

I serve with rice (or roasted potatoes) and grilled asparagus.

Let me know if any of you try it or have questions.

      My only proof

      You're right, doctors usually only test Vitamin D and B12. Both are really important, but they're not good indicators of deficiencies in the other B vitamins. Our bodies are able to store Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D in the liver for up to a year or longer. The other B vitamins can only be stored for much shorter periods of time. Pyridoxine B 6 can...

      My only proof

      So interesting that you stated you had sub clinical vitamin deficiencies. When I was first diagnosed with celiac disease (silent), the vitamin levels my doctor did test for were mostly within normal range (lower end) with the exception of vitamin D. I believe he tested D, B12, magnesium, and iron. I wondered how it was possible that I had celiac disease...

      Has anyone had terrible TMJ/ Jaw Pain from undiagnosed Celiac?

      Segments of the protein Casein are the same as segments of the protein strands of gluten, the 33-mer segment. The cow's body builds that Casein protein. It doesn't come from wheat. Casein can trigger the same reaction as being exposed to gluten in some people. This is not a dairy allergy (IGE mediated response). It is not lactose intolerance...

      Wheat in cow feed would not equal gluten in the milk, @Wheatwacked, please back up extraordinary claims like this with some scientific backing, as I've never heard that cow's milk could contain gluten due to what the cow eats.

      You're right, doctors usually only test Vitamin D and B12.  Both are really important, but they're not good indicators of deficiencies in the other B vitamins.  Our bodies are able to store Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D in the liver for up to a year or longer.  The other B vitamins can only be stored for much shorter periods of time.  Pyridoxine B 6 can be stored for several months, but the others only a month or two at the longest.  Thiamine stores can be depleted in as little as three days.  There's no correlation between B12 levels and the other B vitamins' levels.  Blood tests can't measure the amount of vitamins stored inside cells where they are used.  There's disagreement as to what optimal vitamin levels are.  The Recommended Daily Allowance is based on the minimum daily amount needed to prevent disease set back in the forties when people ate a totally different diet and gruesome experiments were done on people.  Folate  requirements had to be updated in the nineties after spina bifida increased and synthetic folic acid was mandated to be added to grain products.  Vitamin D requirements have been updated only in the past few years.   Doctors aren't required to take as many hours of nutritional education as in the past.  They're educated in learning institutions funded by pharmaceutical corporations.  Natural substances like vitamins can't be patented, so there's more money to be made prescribing pharmaceuticals than vitamins.   Also, look into the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, developed by Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, a Celiac herself.  Her book The Paleo Approach has been most helpful to me.  You're very welcome.  I'm glad I can help you around some stumbling blocks while on this journey.    Keep me posted on your progress!  Best wishes! P.S.  interesting reading: Thiamine, gastrointestinal beriberi and acetylcholine signaling https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12014454/

When I was first diagnosed with celiac disease (silent), the vitamin levels my doctor did test for were mostly within normal range (lower end) with the exception of vitamin D. I believe he tested D, B12, magnesium, and iron.  I wondered how it was possible that I had celiac disease without being deficient in everything!  I’m wondering now if I have subclinical vitamin deficiencies as well, because even though I remain gluten free, I struggle with insomnia, low energy, body aches, etc.  It’s truly frustrating when you stay true to the gluten-free diet, yet feel fatigued most days. I’ll definitely try the B-complex, and the Benfotiamine again, and will keep you posted. Thanks once again!
