    Swanson's chicken broth is gluten-free. Even though it is a bit pricey, I like to use Emeril's beef and chicken. I called the company and they said both stocks (and his seasonings) are gluten-free.

    Beefy Rice Saute onions in oil until soft Add 1 part rice and 2 parts beef broth. (I use Emeril's. It is gluten-free and really good) stick in a bay leaf. Simmer until rice is done. Amounts depend on how much you want. This is good with beef dishes (think steak or hamburger steak)

    All these months later I still have the same problem. I am not obese, but I do need to lose about 20 pounds. I have tried Atkins for 2 months (lost nothing) I have tried low fat (nothing) . I refuse to give up my one nightly cocktail, but surely that isn't the problem. I am getting very frustrated.

    Yesterday I went to a new orthopedic doctor about a foot problem. He looked at my paperwork and said "I see you have Celiac. What do you take for it?" This was a very young (think Doogie Howser) doctor who must have been in med school fairly recently. Don't they teach them about Celiac? OK, he's not a GI specialist, but I would think he would pick up a little...

    Tonight I'm making meatloaf, field peas (that I put up last summer) and mashed garlic potatoes. Probably cornbread. Yes, I am a deep South country girl!

    Keela, we do that too and call it "glop and smear". We solved the Mayo problem by buying different brands. My husband likes Dukes and I like Helman's, so no problem.

    Sounds like it's time far a call to the company. Thanks, y'all. I'll let you know what I find out and give the name of the tea. It really is good, so I hope it's OK.

    I know I have read something about this, but can't find it now. Is licorice gluten free? I tried a new (to me) herbal tea with licorice and I feel a little peculiar today. It may be totally unrelated to gluten, but I just wondered about licorice.

    Hooray! Tonight we are going out with another couple. No cooking or cleaning! For lunch we had chicken a la king over toast and Jello with fruit.

    Yesterday made red beans and rice in the crock pot. Tonight it's sauted shrimp with garlic, twice baked potatoes and green salad.

    I saw a bumper sticker that said "I wasn't born in the South, but I got here as soon as I could." They must have discovered grits, too. Try garlic cheese grits as a sde dish with pork.

    Thanks for the help. I think I will try adding a little Kitchen Bouquet. That should do for the color and not have much taste. Wenmin, I have also ruined stuff with burned roux; that was the reason for my question. Your recipe sounds like what I do, except for using the spoons to stop cooking. I will try that.

    Are you looking for snacks or a meal? Snacks: Glutino pretzels with a mustard/honey dip Nuts (read the ingredient list; some IDIOTS put wheat in canned nuts) Most dips (artichoke, cheese, chili) are good with Glutino crackers Stuffed mushrooms (adjust the stuffing to make it legal) There are hundreds of good snacks. If you need to feed a big crowd...

    OK. A lot of my pre-celiac recipes start with "First you make a roux" Help! Can any of you make a dark roux with non-wheat flour? I guess I'm looking for gluten free Cajuns. I can make a light blond roux, but hve not succeeded with a dark one.

    I like using the corn tortillas, but my problem is that they only come in large amounts. I may eat two or three a week, but the rest get old. I wish they came in smaller packages.

    I am very fortunate in that I react only to gluten. I use all of the listed products with no problem. Notice that these products are gluten free only; they do not pretend to have no ingredients that someone might be sensitive to. Just figure out which ones bother you and avoid those.

    I think I posted this earlier, but here it is again: Mix up as much white corn meal as you want to with 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda and 2 teaspoons baking powder for each cup of meal. Keep this in an airtight container or a heavy zip lock bag. When you want cornbread, use one cup of mix, 2 eggs,2 Tablespoons oil and 1/2 cup buttermilk. Bake...

    I use Community Coffee and have never had a problem.

    Meatloaf, mac and cheese and green peas.I don't use bread crumbs in my meatloaf, but then my gluten eating mother never did ,either. For the mac&cheese, I use Amy's frozen.

    If you like a little heat, try simmering a can of French-style green beans with about a half can of Rotel tomatoes.

    I have to tell my good story. A few nights ago a dear friend had a big cocktail party. When I arrived she quietly said " there are dips and some pork tenderloin in the kitchen. Make your plate in there" She knew I always take crackers in my purse, and she was protecting me from cross contamination. I know how lucky I am to have such support from all of my...

    I don't know about the Hickory Farms cheese balls, but they are sooo easy to make. That way you can be sure they are OK. Google cheeseball recipes and you will have many to choose from.

    I agree with lovegrov. They can't leave out everything that someone might be sensitive to. That leaves pretty much nothing. We just have to resign ourselves to reading labels every time and realize that we are (bottom line) responsible for ourselves.

    Lactose is in anything made from milk... cheese, butter, ice cream. If those foods don't bother you, look for another culprit.

    Try soaking waterchestnuts in gluten-free soy sauce (La Choy is safe) and wrapping in bacon. Bake until the bacon is done. An antipasta plate with olives (several types) cheese, gluten-free salami, roasted red peppers (from a jar)and pickled asparagus (Sam's has it in a jar and it is safe)
