My mother sent me a newspaper clipping of a whole bunch of things you can do with corn tortillas. This morning I made one of those recipes. You warm the tortillas (3, because there are 3 of use) in the microwave until soft (40 seconds). Then you gently fold them into a muffin tine mold so that they are flauted. Then you crack an egg into each one. Then...

I'm cheep cheep when it comes to quick and easy dinners for kids. My son LOVES this and he isn't gluten-free. I take the chub spiced sausage and cook in a saucepan. I then add sloppy joe mix to it and serve it over rice with a salad and milk. The kids really really enjoy this. The spiced sausage gives it a richer flavor than just straight ground beef...

A yogurt company is trying to market yogurt as being a substitute for mayonaise. I got to thinking...whoa! Hold on to your hats! There is this yellow cake recipe that uses a cup of mayo in it. The only reason I don't make it very often is because mayo is kinda expensive if you use a cup at a time. So, perhaps I could try substituting my homemade yogurt...

Last night my son and I went over to my ex-aunt-in-law's house (how's that for a tenuous connection!) and we had fish tacos out on the patio with a fire in the fire pit. There are some things that are pretty cool about Arizona in February! I've been offered the job of English director and my second job as a tutor with a local tutoring company. That...

The homemade yogurt came out great. Every one loves it. I added nutrisweet so that it wasn't so bitter. I also added gelatin so that it would be firm. My son, 1.5, just smacked his lips in joy! What a cutie! The divorce isn't going amicably. My soon to be x is crazy. He called the police (there are not cusody orders) because he say's I'm crazy and...

Okay, so 85% of the time I like leftovers and easy-to-make dinners because of the whole working single parent thing. Tonight I out did myself with nachos. There's that Mexican food again. Yeah for Mexican food! So, I figure a bag of tortilla chips on a tray sprinkled with cheese under the broiler for 3 minutes is pretty easy. Then I dress it up with a...

DH had the kids on Friday night so I went over to a friend's house for Mexican food and drinks. The woman preparing the food was so funny. She knew I was allergic to wheat and everytime she used the corntilla (made-up word) fork on the flour tortillas she'd swear at herself and throw the fork into the sink. She went through at least 10 forks! They...

The office had pizza for lunch today and what did I have? Pot roast....grumble mumble. I gave the rest of the leftovers to the cat.

Good evening all, Today was a good day. We had professional development meetings all day and the boss took us out to lunch. It was at a sports bar. Lots of burgers, sanwiches, deep fried everything, etc. I had nachos. They were really good. They had real cheese on them and fresh salsa on the side. I couldn't ask for anything better. I was aprehensive...

I invited over my co-worker for dinner. She's a ball. I late 50s-something widower from New York via East Germany. I made Spanish tortilla with eggs and potatos, then served a green salad and mint tea. Just a simple dish but everyone seems to like it! Spanish tortilla: Slice 4 fist sized potatos into 1/4 inch pieces and fry in canola oil until...

As I sit in the office kitchen eating my lunch that I brought from home, again, I often reflect on how much money being a celiac is saving me. Everyone eats out, well most people do, and I always carry in. Sure, I could order salads and what not, but boy...salad sure does get boring. I also don't buy a bunch of specialty foods. Sometimes I'll get a cake...

Tonight we had a wonderful dinner: Roast chicken with lemon pepper, celery salt, thyme, and rosemary, cooked at 350* for 1 hour White rice (not as nutritious as brown, but the brown rice is too hard on my 1 year old's tummy) Sauteed veggies, yellow squash and zucchini with onion and oranges for dessert. My co-worker at the office keeps trying to offer...

ARCHIVED How Much Does It Take To Get A Reaction?
AZ Gal replied to AZ Gal's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Thanks everyone for your experiences. It sounds like just the tiniest amount can cause a reaction. I'll keep that inmind. I'm eatin off of paper plates and switched to a "dedicated" sponge HA!! For the immediate future until I get a process worked out with dishes, etc. And if it was something over the holidays, well, I'll never know! -
This is a blog about my life and how I cope with Celiac. What I eat, things that I run into, reactions from other people, and reactions from me. The good. The bad. The ugly. I have been Dx'd for about 1.5 years. During that time my life was not only turned upside down from my diagnosis, but my daughter was also Dx'd with Type 1 Juvenile Diabetes...

ARCHIVED Anyone From Mesa. Az?
AZ Gal replied to jrom987's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
Hello, I'm in Mesa with my two children. I scrapbook and have been gluten-free for about 1.5 years. I would love to get together. I'm a sane, single mom trying to be more social! I'd love to meet, talk about food/preparation/cooking/dining out, etc.! I'll link these responses to my email, so email me if you would like to meet. Erin -
ARCHIVED Reacting To Small Amounts Of Gluten After Going gluten-free?
AZ Gal replied to Helena's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Thanks for the post, I was just wondering the same thing. I've no idea how much will make me sick and I can only come up with possible trace exposures over the past few days...hmmm.... Good luck with all of those allergies! -
ARCHIVED How Much Does It Take To Get A Reaction?
AZ Gal posted a topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Hello, This message is out there for anybody to answer. I've been dx'd celiac for about 1.5 years now and usually I do pretty good, I only get myself sick on accident about 3 times a year. However, because of the holidays I'm guessing, I got gluttened somewhere. I can't figure out what it was: eating out, eating at my Aunt's or hand washing my dishes with...
