    It should be fine. Glutamate refers to chemicals similar to glutamine, an amino acid, not to gluten. I don't know what carex is (brand name?), but the tetrasodium glutamate diacetate is not gluten-related.

    I agree - some things are better made from scratch, but bagels aren't worth the effort to make yourself. Go for the frozen ones.

    Here's an update to my earlier post. The manager of Naked Pizza in Ewing showed me around after we had some e-mail exchanges, and they do seem to know how to keep the crust, sauce, and cheese segregated, although I wouldn't count on any of the other toppings. I just ate half a gluten-free pie with no ill effects, and it was pretty good. Just being able...

    It may not be the ingredients of the candies that contain gluten. Since some of their candy contains gluten (there's probably malt flavoring in the rice krispies in the crackle bars), chances are that there is cross-contamination of the manufacturing or packaging lines. Even though they clean the lines between different foods, there's still a chance of...

    I have been drooling over the dresses. Mary had a red number with some red velvet and lace trims that just knocked my socks off in season 1. But I'd still rather be wearing my jeans to watch it than wearing those dresses all day!

    Sample size Nutella!!!!! Where can I find that?

    You will probably come up with a set of rules for yourself, based on how your body reacts to different foods. For example, I'll eat things that say they are manufactured in a facility that also processes wheat, but I won't eat things that are made on the same equipment as wheat. But there are probably many times I eat something that has been made under...

    Wow, that doesn't sound at all like a manufacturer's rep who flagged this post and signed up just to reply. If you are a sensitive celiac, then welcome, but I'm taking this response with a grain of salt (and not oat fiber).

    I make this sauce for mac and cheese, and it doesn't take too long. It's a little more work than microwaving, but more likely to come out edible. In a pot, melt 3 T of butter/margarine/your favorite fat on low heat. When it melts, add 2T of cornstarch or a gluten-free flour mix and stir to combine. When it is all combined (don't let it start browning...

    Somewhere new for us to eat in central Jersey! Buds and Bowls in the Lawrenceville Inn on 206 south of Princeton. Pretty setting in an old house, with a yoga studio upstairs and floral arrangements for sale. Everyone is completely aware of gluten, and all sandwiches are available with gluten-free bread or regular. It was a treat to have a grilled cheese...

    It depends on how far you want to travel. You can look for Outback Steakhouse (Hamilton and maybe Edison?), Bonefish Grill, and PF Chang's (one of those in Princeton). In Central NJ there is the Blue Rooster in Cranbury, which has a limited menu but understands gluten-free, Blue Bottle Inn in Hopewell which marks its menu with gluten-free items (a bit ...

    Russian Cabbage Borscht from the original Moosewood Cookbook, with a big plop of sour cream, and drop biscuits from "Artisanal Gluten Free Cooking". Mmmmmm.

    Just successfully converted this recipe. Originally intended as a copy of Tastykake Kandy Kakes (Tandy Takes for those of us of a certain age), also resembles Girl Scout chocolate-covered peanut butter cookies, sometimes called Tagalongs. 2 T butter 2 c sugar 1 c milk 1 t vanilla 1 t baking powder 2 c flour (this should be a light flour mix, like...

    Baked ziti (you can substitute penne) is pretty much the same ingredients as lasagna, but instead of layering everything you just mix it all together and then bake. Cooked pasta, ricotta, mozzarella, sauce, grated parm or Romano on top. Doesn't get much easier and tastes the same.

    Undercook the noodles quite a bit, and what has worked for me in the past is to carefully remove them one at a time from the pot by draping a noodle over a wooden spoon, rinsing it under cold running water, then setting it in a colander to drain as I rinse the others. This is pretty labor-intensive, and if you cook them too long, they still fall apart. ...

    Bread crumbs or croutons - cube it up, bake at 250, stirring every 30 minutes, until dry and crunchy. Saute briefly with oil/butter and seasonings to make croutons, or use a food processor or blender to make bread crumbs. Roll the slices flatter, cut in quarters, and toast in the oven at 250 until crunchy to make a version of Melba toast. Or make chocolate...

    Good for you! If you have much left, you might want to slice it and freeze it in pairs of slices for later.

    Gluten-free living. How to become gluten-free, for those newly diagnosed or struggling with the diet. Mercer Free School. Register at mgs.insi2.org. Held at Ewing branch of Mercer Public Library, 7 - 8 pm.

    Thanks for doing the work! I should have known that someone here would know what the sequence was and how to BLAST it. Maybe the older wheats had low enough amounts of the proteins to not be a problem, but our guts aren't adapted to what's in the modern wheat for sure.

    Evolution will only breed you out of existence if your mutation is something severe enough to prevent you passing on your genes. Gluten-sensitive people still are able to have plenty of kids, for the most part, even if their bloating and gas make them occasionally unattractive .

    Another simple method: Peel (or don't), cut into strips about 1/4" thick, toss in a bowl with a little olive oil. Add seasonings if you want. Spread on a baking sheet, not overlapping. 10 minutes at 450, then turn them over and give another 10 minutes at 450. The thinner parts get very brown by the end, so you might want to keep an eye on them for the...
