  1. One more thought. You could do a make your own taco bar with taco meat, shredded chicken, cheese, tomatos, onions, lettace, sour cream, rice, beans and corn tortillas (hard and soft).
  2. For the main meal you can do a crockpot meal. Something like vegetable beef stew or a roast with potatoes and carrots. Other things to add to the meal that are quick, easy and can be done in advance are: A cheese plater Glutino gluten free pretzels Bake gluten free muffins and/or you can serve store bought gluten rolls if you are comfortable...
  3. Me too. I am not tempted to cheat because I don't want to get sick. I cook the holiday meals. Everyone eats gluten free.
  4. Lisa, I had to eat very low fat when before I had my gallbladder out. I wasn't able to avoid fat altogether but limited it as much as possible. After it was taken out I was able to add fat back into my diet. I don't see sugar or fruit on the list of forbidden items. Both fruit juice and soda will add calories to your diet but not much in nutrition...
  5. I don't use commercial salad dressings. Salad dressings are easy to make. Below is the one I make: 2/3 Sunflower Oil (or other oil of your choice) 1/3 Plain Rice Vinegar (or gluten free vinegar of your choice) Salt. pepper, oregano, and garlic powder to taste. This dressing is tranportable since it does not need to be kept cold. I take it...
  6. Thanks for the good work.
  7. Three Cheers for Mountain Mike's gluten free pizza in San Diego. My husband and I visited San Diego today to see a special exhibit at the Natural History Museum. We stopped by Mountain Mike's on the way home. If you plan to visit San Diego Mountain Mike's is not far from Sea World. It is off Interstate 5 a little over a mile on Clairmont Blvd. Exit...
  8. I cheat. I buy Pacific Foods Turkey Gravy in a box. Heat and serve. Below is the link to the nutritional information. Open Original Shared Link
  9. Almost, I have a few gift cards to buy and I need to finish adding the last 25 or so ornaments (out of about 200) to the tree.
  10. In time, receiving gluten gifts will not bother you. This is from the perspective of gluten free Christmas's. I just say thank you and let my son and husband enjoy the gift.
  11. In-n-Out is in California, Nevada and Arizona. One of my favorite places to eat.
  12. Crock pots are wonderful. Many crock pot receipes are naturally gluten free or easily adaptable.

    blueeyedmanda, You can use your gas stove withhout electricity. Use a kitchen or fireplace match. Do not use the matches that come in the little books. Light the match, put it by the burner and turn on the gas. I hope the weather improves. From Sunny Southern California
  15. I am not much of a baker and the most commercial gluten free bread is, in my opinon, not very good. I keep gluten free bread in the freezer but very rarely use it. Some of my alternatives are below: Corn Tortillas - All heated in the microwave Pizza - Pizza Sauce, cheese and pepperoni layered Tuna, ham, turkey or any other aleady cooked meat...
  16. I did quick search on the internet. I learned something new today. It is possible to make your own lip balm. The search was for "lip balm receipe". A lot of site came up. Below is just one of them: Open Original Shared Link Gook luck in locating something for your lips.
  17. This happens to me every year. I do not take any offense. Your co-workers are simply leaving the same gift for everyone. I take all the gluten goodies home and feed them to my husband and son.
  18. I agree, accept the gift basket and simply say thank you. I don't expect anyone else to remember that I am gluten free. Another option is to donate the basket to the local food bank or locate a family in need to give it to.
  19. In ther future you might might want to look at the option of staying at school. I had a part time job in college which prevented me from going home over winter, spring and summer breaks. I was able to make arrangements to stay on campus. During the summer I had to pay rent. I had access to a kitchen so it did not matter that all of the food services were...
  20. I agree with the other posts. I have actually eaten most of there recomendations for breakfast. I usually have cereal but sometimes I have pancakes, muffins or Enjoy Life Bars. I make the pancakes and muffins in advance and freeze them. Also, you don't have to have breakfast food in the morning. Quick and easy is anything in the refrigerator, freezer...
  21. I agree with darlindeb25 and blueeyedmanda. Staying gluten free is the key to maintaining you health. Don't try to replicate a diet containing gluten. This will require thinking outside the standard American diet. There are several threads on this website with quick and easy meals. You can use the internet to locate receipes. I put in "gluten"...
  22. Happy Birthday
  23. Below is a link to a receipe for soy free soy sauce if found on the internet. Open Original Shared Link I have not tried it yet.
  24. Lisa, Definitely make sure the Dr. explains your test results. According to my doctor when the gallbladder is "sick" the liver and pancreatic enzymes can be elevated. That is why they suspected gallstones with me. I found some relief from a very low fat diet and using a heating pad where the pain was until I was able to have the gallbladder removed...
  25. Offthegrid, You might consider yams in place of the mashed potatoes.
