ARCHIVED Fresh Mozzarella Safe?
lpellegr replied to lpellegr's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Lpellegr for Lee Pellegrino, actually. I'm in the Trenton area. I'm getting a share of produce from a CSA organic farm, so lots of ripe tomatoes. They (the tomatoes) are asking me to make bruschetta, tomato pie, and fresh mozzarella salad, but I have to do some gluten-free baking first to get the french bread and pizza crust. Love fresh mozzarella. Trenton... -
ARCHIVED Fresh Mozzarella Safe?
lpellegr posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Has anyone had success or problems eating fresh mozzarella? Those lovely soft white balls of cheese in (usually murky) water that you find in the deli or salad bar. I used to love fresh mozzarella, but since these don't come with labels, I don't know whether they use vinegar to coagulate them and haven't dared to try since I went gluten-free. Let's set... -
I have also noticed that the little brochure of gluten-free foods that Whole Foods has available is not 100% accurate! Use it as a guide, but make sure to read labels.

ARCHIVED Baking Hamburger Buns
lpellegr replied to granny's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Hi, Granny! Here's what worked for me. I broke down and spent $20 for a hamburger bun pan from the King Arthur Flour website - they have all kinds of really cool pans for any type of bread you can think of. They have some silicone pans that I think would be especially good for nasty sticky gluten-free recipes. Their print catalog is like pornography for... -
ARCHIVED Coping With Co-workers Attitude While Dining Out
lpellegr replied to lpellegr's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
Thanks, everyone. Lots of good ideas that I will keep in mind. There will always be people out there who urge the diabetic to have that piece of cake, and people who slip peanut butter to the kid with the allergy to "prove" it won't hurt them, and although I wouldn't wish a diagnosis of anything like that on them (or would I?) it would be informative for... -
ARCHIVED Coping With Co-workers Attitude While Dining Out
lpellegr posted a topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
This is probably unusual for most of you, but my disease symptoms are mostly silent - I was diagnosed due to anemia - and when I eat out with certain people I get no respect for my need for gluten-free food. Usual question is, "so what will happen to you if you eat this?" and the truthful answer is that I probably won't have any immediate response (I had... -
ARCHIVED Away From Home For A Whole Month!
lpellegr replied to a topic in Traveling with Celiac Disease
Some other options: Individually wrapped cheddar cheese sticks, peanut butter in individual tubes (or a jar that you don't share with anyone), those flat packs of tuna, small cans of Bush's baked beans that you can just pop open and microwave or even eat at room temp (these are all good when you have to pack lunches because you're out on the trail). Some... -
Anybody know of any places to get gluten-free food in Athens, GA? Restaurants or food stores are okay. I need to be there for a week and am really tired of bringing my own breakfast and lunch on business travel. Thanks.
