Will a coffee grinder work to grind up chia seeds to use as an egg replacer?

LOL! Well, I found a way to make do until.......

I put the chia seeds into a sandwich ziplock, put a paper towel underneath as well as one on top & took the hammer, sat down on the kitchen floor & pounded away! LOL! It worked but I don't look forward to doing it on a regular basis.

P.S. You have to make sure all the air is out of the baggie.

What about adding warm water and letting them sit and then food processing them? That's what I did the one time I used them as an egg replacer. I since decided I do not like the gelatinous mess it makes....but soaking them first worked. If your recipe calls for liquid, you could use that liquid. They soak up a lot. :)

This place we're renting the kitchen is so small that I don't want to even bring in a food processor eatmeat. I'm just going to pick up a little coffee grinder & see what happens.

I was very happy though with how the egg yolk-less Belgian Waffles turned out though.smile.gif

Oh, well, I just thought it might work. I use one of those teeny weeny ones that are only good for chopping garlic! Hey! Maybe a mortar and pestle? haha! Let's bring back the old tools! Isn't that what they used before food processors were invented? I guess if all else fails, you know the hammer and ziplock works! Hey! I can use that to flatten some chicken breasts huh?! I've been wanting a meat pounder but maybe you just invented one for me! :)

Yup. that'll work!

You know what else a hammer is good for? You know how when you go to hem jeans one of the side seams is so thick & then you're turning it under twice which makes it a monster? Take the jeans outside to a concrete surface & use your trusty hammer to pound that super thick turned under seam into a manageable, something you can work with thickness.tongue.gif

Nutribullet

Open Original Shared Link

Don't buy it here! Bed, Bath & Beyond, $80 + tax to your door. Anything over $50,

shipping is free. Don't like it? Send it back. Trust me, you will like this!

Easy to clean, rinse well & go, uses a SMALL amount of product, best gadget I

have ever owned and I have them all :)

This dumb thing has CHANGED my life! It's NOT like a blender drink, that's for

sure.

This may not sound so nice but my 350 lb daughter just went for blood work, time

to renew the birth control, or she would never go to a doctor. They always look

her up & down, hum...all the things that could be wrong?! It's what they always

think about us fatties, I just got the same treatment myself! Anyway, the blood

work: We are Paleo as much as we can, but we do cheat with rice. We eat meat like

nobody! I was so worried what these tests were going to revel! I was the one who

was gonna "get it", I do the cooking :(

PERFECT blood work, low everything, no sign of diabetes, no high cholesterol, (boy,

do we eat bacon!) her BP is low as well. The doctor asked her, "What do you eat"?

Well, my mom has been studying and she does the cooking. Rachel cannot eat gluten(no hand lotion either!)

soy, dairy, I bet there are more but these are the triggers. SO, she told this very

open-minded MD about her Nutribullet. That doc actually called her and said she

loved the thing! I KNEW she would go out & buy one. :) I even own a Vitamix,

this little bullet can grind the heck out of chia, flax & hemp! Runs circles around

the Vitamix when it come to grinding seeds. I also do millet, quinoa, among others.

Cheers! Alice

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Have faith, you will survive. I get mine from Pipingrock.com.  500 capsules of 10,000 IU for $22.  That is almost two years worth for me.  250 caps 5000 IU for $6.69 if you only take 5,000 a day.  It's like half the price of Walmart.

      Outgrow celiac?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Testing can't alone be trusted.  Else why would it take so many years of testing and retesting and misdiagnosis to finally be told, yes you have Celiac Disease. As to what to eat, I like pre 1950 style food.  Before the advent of TV dinners.  Fresh food is better for you, and cooking from scratch is cheaper.  Watch Rachel Ray's 30 Minute Meals for how to cook.  Keep in mind that she is not gluten free, but her techniques are awesome.  Just use something else instead of wheat, barley, rye. Dr Fuhrman is a ex cardiologist.  His book Eat to Live and Dr Davis' book Wheatbelly were instrumental in my survival.

      If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch--thanks for the tip about Dupixent, and I've added it to the article:

      I just want to clarify that what I posted is a category of research summaries we've done over the years, and nearly each one shows that there is definitely a connection to celiac disease and migraine headaches. The latest study said: "the study did indicate some potential causal associations between celiac disease and migraine with or without aura, as well as between migraine without aura and ulcerative colitis...this study did not find evidence of a shared genetic basis..." Anyway, there is definitely a connection, and you can go through more of the articles here if you're interested: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/migraine-headaches-and-celiac-disease/

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By SusanJ · Posted

      Two months ago, I started taking Dupixent for dermatitis herpetiformis and it has completely cleared it up. I can't believe it! I have had a terrible painful, intensely itchy rash for over a year despite going fully gluten-free. See if your doctor will prescribe Dupixent. It can be expensive but I am getting it free. When the dermatitis herpetiformis was bad I could not do anything. I just lay in bed covered in ice packs to ease the pain/itching and using way too Clobetasol. Dapsone is also very good for dermatitis herpetiformis (and it is generic). It helped me and the results were immediate but it gave me severe anemia so the Dupixent is better for me. Not sure if it works for everyone. I cannot help with the cause of your stress but from experience I am sure the severe stress is making the celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis worse. Very difficult for you with having children to care for and you being so sick. Would this man be willing to see a family therapist with you? He may be angry at you or imagine that your illness is a psychosomatic excuse not to take care of him. A therapist might help even if he won't go with you. Also do you have any family that you could move in with (with the kids) for a short time to get away? A break may be good for you both.
