    You're probably going to be able to find Utz chips in New Jersey and PA - I believe they're made in PA. The Russet Dark chips are unbelieveable - dark brown and folded over so they're nice and crunchy.

    The simplest thing is to eat stuff that isn't bread-like anyway - stick to meat, eggs, vegetables, rice, potatoes, fruit, cheese. Instead of searching out expensive and elusive gluten-free substitutes for cereal and bagels switch to cottage cheese and fruit or ham and cheese omelets for breakfast. Roll up your sandwich fillings (lunchmeat and cheese, look...

    Boar's Head bacon says gluten-free right on the label!

    I don't use any of the premade mixes, but I can give advice on making your own. For the graham cracker crust, find any good gluten-free cookies and crush them. I used Pamela's pecan shortbread for a cheesecake and it was really good. As far as real pie crust, are you used to making your own, so you understand how to cut the shortening into the flour and...

    And for all you Easy-Bake Oven fans, there's a cookbook: the Easy-Bake Oven Gourmet, by David Hoffman, with recipes from people like Bobby Flay, Caprial Pence, Mollie Katzen, etc. It's a hoot.

    I got it at a small store that just opened up near me in NJ - they specialize in foods for special diets. The other place I saw them advertised was on one of the e-mail updates from this website - looks like you can get them somewhere online. Anyone in NJ who would like to know, the store is DeLiteful Foods on Quakerbridge Road near the Quakerbridge Mall...

    Okay, the storm has passed. Here's the website of a CSA chapter that seems to be active at the Jersey Shore - they may be able to help you. Or me, next time I go down the shore. www.geocities.com/seashoreceliacs/

    The only other things I found gluten-free in the Wildwood area were the chains (and that peanut buster parfait from the Dairy Queen on the boardwalk was wonderful) with the exception of one Italian restaurant where our server had celiac disease and could tell me what to have! I'm sorry I don't remember the name of it. In general I just ate things like salad...

    I wouldn't count on finding much except the chain restaurants. We used to spend a lot of time there before my diagnosis, but going back over my memories I can't think of anything. As usual you'll just have to ask at each restaurant. If you go somewhere else like Wildwood look for Curley's Fries - they do french fries, and nothing but french fries in peanut...

    Okay, it looks more like segments of crepes or manicotti than ravioli, but Comfy Cuisine Spinach Ravioli is really good! I got it for $5.79 for one serving, but when you don't feel like cooking and haven't had ravioli in two years, it can be worth it.

    When my breasts went up a cup size and were mightily sore my first month gluten-free, AND I had a period two weeks after the last one started, I wasn't sure I could connect it to the diet, but after reading all this, that's probably what it was. Eventually they went back to normal (or at least one of the normals, since the size has varied with pregnancies...

    I've seen this little guy used when people are being sneaky or mysterious. I haven't been able to come up with just the right occasion to use it yet! I hear they are building a PF Chang's near me - I hope so, there aren't enough choices for a decent dinner out around here!!!!

    Jules Thin Crust Pizza in Doylestown serves gluten-free pizza! I haven't been there, but other people on this forum said it was great. They have a website: Open Original Shared Link

    The Easy Pizza recipe on the page right before Bette Hagman's Bean Flour Pizza Crust (the one this thread is about) is really good and actually bakes up better with her original blend than with the bean flour, so if you like a thick crust pizza with no beans, this is good.

    You probably will want to have duplicates of the mayonnaise, peanut butter, margarine, mustard, etc. I bought stickers and then wrote on them: bright green with "gluten-free" means mom's, don't touch. Red with "not gluten-free" means everybody but mom should use that one. Anything not labeled I don't touch. I also label packaged and canned food so if...

    Best symptom lost? No more poisonous, foul, constant gas that made me wish I could crawl under a rock for 30 years. Second best? My skin used to turn red and itch and even sprout hives for half an hour whenever it got cold - not any more. Probably due to lowered inflammatory chemicals running around my bod in response to gluten. No more waking up at...

    This is from a Philadelphia Inquirer article about eating gluten free, from 3/23/06. Try Buddakan, Django, The Fitzwater Cafe, and Radicchio in Center City; Rx and the Marigold Dining Room in West Philly, and Margaret Kuo's in Wayne. The article says that these are willing to provide gluten-free menu choices. Also try My Thai. This article was about Ross...

    Home fries! Peel and slice raw potatoes, fry in plenty of margarine or oil, covered, turning over with a spatula once in a while until potatoes are cooked through and some are nice and brown and crunchy. Or chop up cooked potatoes and fry until crispy. Add onions, peppers, whatever you like.

    I gross my kids out by eating eggs scrambled with chopped sauteed kale or spinach, cheese, and any kind of meat hanging around, and it keeps me full all morning. Yeah, I pretty much gave up on cereals and pastries, and I lost weight and stay full longer, so good all around. It's easier to make a crustless quiche and cut it into pieces than to cook the eggs...

    Bob's Mighty Tasty gluten-free Hot Cereal is pretty good - heartier than just cream of rice or grits. I haven't noticed any reaction to it myself, so if you're willing to take a chance, I think it's a good hot cereal.

    Anybody else work in science labs? I had a funny thought the other day, that I have worked very carefully with radioactive things, I have worked very carefully with sterile cell culture, and I don't think I ever worked so hard at avoiding cross-contamination of one thing by another as I do with this diet!

    It could be the vinegar. According to the Clan Thompson list, Vlasic pickles are gluten-free but are manufactured on the same lines as gluten-containing foods.

    Here's a post from another thread. I don't know if this will help because he doesn't specify what flours or whether there is Xanthan gum in it. I have made noodles using Bette Hagman's recipe and they were good except for tasting and smelling very eggy. I think your Italian neighbor could see if this recipe will work. Let us all know how it turns out...

    From another gluten-free Lee: How about lunchmeats and cheeses? I have been buying prepackaged ham and cheese (Oscar Mayer and Kraft are safe) and rolling them up together for breakfast, lunch, or even snacks. I find these keep me full for longer than any carb-based foods. Throw in some fruit, carrots, or other veggies and the fiber will keep you satisfied...

    I used to bake lots of bread by hand, but it has been a challenge to find something good. After lots of tries I found one Bette Hagman recipe that seems to work for me every time (except the last one - oh well, you can always turn it into crumbs). I make the Almost Pumpernickel bread from The Gluten-Free Gourmet, revised edition. I leave out the caraway...
