The What's For Dinner Tonight Chat
Maggie Mermaid replied to jess-gf's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Roasted butternut squash soup (no diary); chopped green salad with diced cucumbers, shallots, feta cheese, cherry tomatoes, lemon juice, & evoo; turkey meatballs (meat mixed with turmeric, grated onion, s&p); lentil-carrot-sweet potato-green pea curry (using the crockpot); and roasted sweet potato. Enough food for some lunches next week. -

Sauteed onions, ground turkey and peas on top of brown rice with broccoli and brussels sprouts. Also making tapioca pudding from scratch using the recipe on the Kraft Minute Tapioca box. -
ARCHIVED Need Ideas!
Maggie Mermaid replied to Jestgar's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
How about fried rice and ham (sautee diced onions, diced ham, scramble an egg & add; add defrosted frozen green peas; mix in tamari sauce to taste). Garnish with green onions, if you like them. Or ham, egg, cheese mini-frittatas (in cupcake tins) and freeze. Rice pasta macaroni & cheese, add diced ham & peas. -

Both recipes look good. I was going to try a similar crockpot lamb (except with shanks) recipe but yours sounds better! Thanks for sharing. -

Me too. There's just something about Hershey's that doesn't agree with me. -

Potato and leek soup (used recipe from Mark Bittman's Vegetarian Cookbook); broiled turkey burgers with grated onion & tumeric; and steamed fresh green beans and carrots. Luckily, made enough soup for leftovers later this week. -
The What's For Dinner Tonight Chat
Maggie Mermaid replied to jess-gf's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
We had green salad with feta cheese and dressed with plain lemon juice; homemade lentil soup (onions, carrots, brown lentils, chicken stock, too much pepper according to hubby); Trader Joe's gluten-free mac & cheese; steamed carrots, cauliflower, & zucchini; and homemade tapioca pudding made with honey instead of sugar. -

ARCHIVED Alternative To Pumpkin In Pumpkin Cake/rolls?

Whole Foods had organic canned pumpkin a couple months ago. It was the only place I could find it. -
ARCHIVED Gluten Free Pizza Cross Contamination
Maggie Mermaid replied to invisibledemon's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
Next time, ask for a manager. The manager at the Redondo Beach, Calif. location was very knowledgeable, friendly, and polite. He shared that they use rice flour when tossing their regular pizzas so there's not chance of air-borne cross-contamination. He also said they have a dedicated gluten-free area in their oven as well as dedicated gluten-free pans... -

ARCHIVED Soy Free Earth Balance & So Delicious Coconut Milk
Maggie Mermaid replied to lisa25's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I used to use So Delicious Coconut Milk but gave it up after having some slight reactions to it. I couldn't figure out what was in it that gave me a reaction. However, I do use the So Delicious Coconut Kefir (plain) sparingly every other day & don't seem to have a reaction to the kefir. Go figure. Never tried the Soy Free Earth Balance. -
ARCHIVED Sticky Social Situation
Maggie Mermaid replied to sandsurfgirl's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
How about mention that your tummy hasn't been feeling 100% lately (somewhat true, right?) so you're being mindful of what you're eating. Express alot enthusiasm for their thoughtfulness, consideration, & efforts and take home some of their goodies to enjoy later since your tummy is sensitive at the moment. What happens to those goodies later...whatever... -
ARCHIVED Is There Any Tortilla Out There That Can Bend?
Maggie Mermaid replied to runningcrazy's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
True, microwaves can vary in power intensity. Ours is ancient, not quite one of the first but not too far removed. So, best to try it at 10 seconds & add more time if needed. -
ARCHIVED Reverse-Engineering Udi's Bread
Maggie Mermaid replied to RiceGuy's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Funny, I was just thinking the same thing about changing the amount of apple cider vinegar for the next attempt. And also adding water in a TBSP at a time to the suggested consistency. The texture inside this loaf was more similar to the store-bought than my earlier attempts. At least slicing it horizontally gave me 4 "slices" to use. -
ARCHIVED Is There Any Tortilla Out There That Can Bend?
Maggie Mermaid replied to runningcrazy's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Here are couple ways I warm corn tortillas: 1) Microwave method: Dampen a paper towel (or 2), squeeze all the water out, place the tortilla in the middle & fold the extra over the top so the tortilla is completely enclosed in the damp paper towel. (Or place the tortilla in between 2 damp paper towels.) Microwave for about 30 sec & check if it... -
ARCHIVED Reverse-Engineering Udi's Bread
Maggie Mermaid replied to RiceGuy's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Yes, the only water was for the meringue powder. 10 TBSP = 1/2 C. plus 2 TBPS water. At least volume-wise, it's a bit more than the largest amount of dried ingredient. So, on the label, it would be the first ingredient on the list. Hmm, I didn't let up double because I was aware that it might fall later. I thought it might rise when it was baking in... -

Fourth or maybe fifth attempt results based on the above recipe but attempting to use meringue powder instead of dried egg whites with the following changes: 1/2 C Tapioca Flour/Starch 1/4 C + 1/2 Tbsp Rice Flour, brown 3 Tbsp Potato Starch (decreased to 2 1/2 TBSP because meringue powder has cornstarch as it's first ingredient) 1-1/2 Tbsp Vegetable... -

ARCHIVED Need To Find A Good gluten-free Pizza Crust Recipe
Maggie Mermaid replied to serenajane's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Great recipe! Tried it for dinner tonite & no leftovers (drats!). Husband (who's pickier than I am) liked it too. I split the dough onto 2 pans so I had individual sized pizzas. First baked them on the baking sheet, then transferred one to a pizza pan with holes in the bottom to make the bottom crispier (husband's preference). One thing I did... -
