    Oh okay. We live in Michigan. My SIL just picked up some more for the other night, I'm not sure what she paid for those ones. But the first one that I bought was around $7.

    I don't generally soak my rice, but then again, I don't generally use brown rice. Is soaking beneficial for white rice as well?

    I have about 40 pounds of white basmati rice on hand and we're scaling back a bit on grocery costs and using up more pantry staples lately while trying to catch up on bills. Any ideas for new ways to use it?

    How is it going?

    $10?! Wow, do you live in a high cost of living area? I think that I paid about $7, which for me, is probably cheaper than buying a bag of Daiya, buying the toppings, providing the ingredients for crust and sauce, and spending the time putting it together.

    Aw, too bad. I know that Tofurky makes a certified gluten free vegan pizza, maybe your kids would like that one, if it fits your particular set of allergies.

    I'm gluten free and dairy free, so finding a decent pizza is hard. I don't care for Amy's gluten-free/DF pizza at all. I think that the Daiya variety are the best frozen pizzas that I've had so far! Very good! Open Original Shared Link

    So I was at our local Gander Mountain and I looked through their selection of freeze dried backpacking meals. I saw some labelled "No Gluten," but they were on shared equipment. Anybody know of some certified freeze dried meals? Any particular brand that you can recommend?

    Have you checked into buying meat in bulk from a local farm? Many people have had good luck with getting farm raised meat for cheap.

    We were at my IL's house this past Sunday. (FIL and step MIL) My SIL is currently trying to stay away from gluten (because of her thyroid) and step MIL offered her some cookies. SIL said, "Thanks but I'll have to pass because I can't have wheat." Step MIL replied, "Oh they don't have any wheat in them, just white flour."

    I need to stick with glass dishes for family meals. Good idea!

    Congrats on the new grandbaby! How about making a few gluten free casseroles, freezing them, and taking them with you? Then you could eat and the new mom wouldn't have to worry about cooking either.

    So frustrating! When we ate for Thanksgiving this year, I basically set aside food for me and hid my food. LOL! The portion of the food that got set out for others did inevitably get contaminated. I found pieces of glutenous food sitting in my cast iron skillet. I ended up reseasoning it when I got home, to be safe. I guess, no more cast iron for...

    I've been contemplating chickens still. Doing more research and thinking. I'm looking at them from a pet standpoint too, as if we get them, we'll be allowing them to retire to a life of luxury after they're done egg laying. (no need for meat, as we're vegetarian) It sounds like they can supplement their diet with table scraps, which is great, because...

    Congratulations! A wedding definitely doesn't have to be a budget breaker.We spent maybe $1,000.00 on our wedding (including our dress and tux). We had a lot of friends and family helping out.

    It's entirely up to you. If you proceed, proceed cautiously though. You don't want to end up in the hospital. I ended up in the ER from my gluten challenge. (my doctor agreed that was the cause as well) I felt that was good enough reason to just be gluten free for life. I'm almost 5 years into the gluten free diet and it's totally possible to do it, even...

    I cover a cookie sheet with tin foil and put them in the oven.

    I get neuro symptoms from glutening. From more mild glutenings, just a headache and a low grade fever for a day. For more severe glutenings, days of severe headaches and some speech difficulty. My worst ever to date was from my gluten challenge, where I had a full blown TIA. (transient ischemic attack or mini stroke) I'm sorry that you're feeling bad...

    You said in your sig that you suspect that your kids got the celiac gene from you. Have you considered gluten challenging yourself and getting tested for celiac?
  21. BlessedMommy
    I have an 8 year old and I was really relieved when she tested negative after being gluten challenged. (we had tried to take her gluten free years earlier due to bad medical advice) I was glad to close that chapter and get on with letting her eat whatever. So I get where you're coming from, on not wanting her to have celiac. But if your daughter has NCGS...

    One thing that I really miss is a good sub sandwich. Has anybody had good luck making gluten free sub sandwiches? If so, what bread do you use?
  23. BlessedMommy
    I love Amazon subscribe and save, they have some great deals on gluten free items. The Bob's Red Mill is over $10 per pound at the grocery store and I can get it for about $6.50 per pound on Amazon.
  24. BlessedMommy
    "Slightly elevated" when it's like 10x the normal range? You have celiac, cut and dried, plain and simple.

    I use corn pasta also, for that very reason. I purchase Meijer brand corn pasta, it makes me wonder if this is repackaged Sam Mill's.
