    It's rather surreal when that situation arises. Hubby & I were at dinner with some people. One person was a healthcare professional; supposedly gluten-intolerant and has symptoms when she eats wheat. She even volunteered an opinion on a gluten-free baking mix. Anyhow, husband & I ordered gluten-free food and she ordered a sandwich with BREAD!...

    No worries. I was thinking of how much I liked a chocolate and orange candy bar & the recipe sounded like it would be good combination. Your recipe sounds delicious as stated. Thanks for posting it.
  3. Maggie Mermaid
    Thank you SO much! Combo of orange & chocolate is yummy.

    Please post the recipe, they sound amazing. Never can have too many gluten-free cookie recipes! Thank you very much in advance.
  5. Maggie Mermaid
    Yep, just finished reading that too. Guess what I'm giving up?

    How about giving up any type of bread-like product for a weekend and see how you feel? For breakfast, you could have eggs or fruit with yogurt. Sounds like some hidden cross-contamination somewhere. Maybe toothpaste, mouthwash, or lip balm/lipstick products are not 100% gluten-free?

    This isn't a mix but pretty easy to make if you can have pumpkin and eggs. How about this? Mock Chocolate Cake 1/4 c. canned pumpkin 2 TBSP cocoa powder 1 egg white 2 pkts sugar (or sweetener of choice) 2 drops of vanilla extract pinch salt Blend all ingredients together, put in a coffee mug & nuke in microwave for 90 seconds. ...

    How do you prepare the sunshine burger? I've never tried them but they sound good. Our dinner is in the crockpot: lamb shanks/potatoes/carrots/celery/carmelized onions cooking with merlot & chicken stock. Will add chunks of sweet potato later (so they don't melt).

    I've used tapioca flour in a blend with Authentic Brand fine brown rice flour to make awesome cupcakes (recipe on gluten-free goddess blog). I think you can find tapioca starch in Asian stores at a pretty reasonable price. P.S. Great picture!

    Well, my husband's allergy tests showed that he is highly allergic or intolerant to caffeine. I had never heard of that before his test results. He's avoided caffeine since as well as a myriad of other foods so it's not clear how the caffeine affects him. His skin conditions are/were the indicator for the gluten intolerance. Personally, my stomach does...

    Everything sounds wonderful. Does the Braised Lamb Shanks use any tomato products? Dinner tonight is cooking in the crockpot. It's a chicken stew using boneless chicken thighs, mushrooms, red potatoes, sweet potato, onions, carrots, celery, chicken stock seasoned with fresh rosemary, salt&pepper.

    Breakfast burrito made with a brown rice tortilla filled with scrambled eggs, shredded cheese, steamed bok choy, & diced turkey bacon.

    Can also scramble some eggs/cheese/meat/veggies & roll it up in corn tortillas.

    ARCHIVED Eggs?

    FYI, it's possible to be allergic or intolerant to the yolk only or the egg white only.

    Happy Anniversary! We celebrated our 12th anniversary tonight with turkey kale soup, mixed green salad, marinated chicken thighs (oregano, garlic powder, evoo, lemon juice), sweet potato fries, brown basmati rice, and gluten-free chocolate chip walnut brownies.

    Real Simple magazine had a really simple and tasty blueberry jam recipe that only has 4 ingredients and NO pectin or gelatin: Open Original Shared Link Although I did start off with half of the sugar called for in the recipe & it tasted sweet enough for us. We put it on brown rice cakes or stirred into plain yogurt for a nice snack.

    I've had to minimize eating any Hershey's candy products because they seem to make me breakout in whiteheads. If I eat a serving of their products 3 days in a row, I break out. I could never figure out what it was because there wasn't anything unusual in the ingredients. European chocolates don't affect me the same way.

    Thank you for passing along the information. We were thinking about trying them but that's not going to happen with this information. DH reacts to small amounts of gluten. What a world of difference in their response compared to our experience at Ruby's Diner restaurant. The Ruby's Diner manager came out and cautioned us that she could not guarantee...

    Plain yogurt. We're trying right now. I made a batch of plain yogurt and let it sit for 24 hours to break down all the lactose. DH was really missing the probiotics. I'm really hoping it works for his sake. We eat rice yogurt but it'd be nice to have something less processed.

    Tonight I took 2 boneless chicken breasts,; spread a mixture of 1 TBSP yellow mustard, 1 TBSP spicy brown mustard, about 1 tsp. crushed mustard seeds, & about 1/2 TBSP olive oil all over the chicken breasts, lightly seasoned with salt & pepper; let them sit about 30 mins. at room temp and popped them in a 350 oven until the juices ran clear, started...

    Well, I've been looking at this recipe that calls for cocoa powder (but not coconut milk) but I haven't tried it yet. The pictures look great. If you end up trying it, it'd be great to hear a report. Open Original Shared Link Well, I tried the MaidInAlaska Brownie recipe tonight and it is really good. Too good! Even the raw batter tasted...

    We had dinner at the Ruby's in Irvine, CA last night & DH (who's sensitive) had no reaction, thank goodness.

    I found the small cups on an endcap, same refrigerated unit but opposite side of where the large tubs were located. Maybe the brand has to pay for product placement hence the moving around? It would make more sense to place the small versions with the large tubs since they're the same brand but that's just me. Good luck finding them!
  25. Maggie Mermaid
    Thanks! I am in Southern Calif. and will look in those areas of the store. That is one complaint I have about Costco is that they move stuff around and the aisles aren't labeled (at least the stores down here).
