    OK - here goes... Open Original Shared Link Open Original Shared Link Open Original Shared Link Open Original Shared Link Open Original Shared Link Open Original Shared Link I have tons of others, too, if you are looking for things containing specific ingredients.

    YES!! That CC is one of the trickiest things about this gluten-free diet, isn't it? Thanks for the compliment. I do not want assume that people want my recipes or tips but as food is on my mind about 98.7% of the time I cannot help myself. There is no reason why we cannot eat fabulously, too!

    Oh, I bet it makes it very hard. Have you tried something like an Irish Soda bread that does not require yeast? This recipe has no yeast or eggs. Perhaps it might work? I personally omit the currants and caraway (not a fan) but the base is good. Open Original Shared Link

    Awesome! Can you imagine how much healthier it is to make yourself? Not only that but man, homemade sure is tasty. Plus it is also fun!

    Oh, shoot. Sorry!

    I believe I posted a recipe or two on here for focaccia that begs to be dipped in oil! But I would love a great ciabatta bread to dip. Now THAT would be a miracle to make gluten-free.

    We have zero delis around here (we aren't known for them on the prairies) but man, that sounds delicious! I would be happy to pay $11.99 for bread like that. When I first tried Udi's bread I was quite desperate and liked it, having just been diagnosed, but now it's just meh to me - basically just a vehicle for my toppings. Cannot wait until our heat...

    Scrambled eggs with chives. Tomatoes from the garden. Cucumbers from a friend's garden.

    Do you like hot and spicy? If so, try gluten-free wasabi, candied ginger, wasabi-flavoured fried peas and black sesame seeds. Kettle corn, though so simple, is so good with a bit of sugar and sea salt (1/2 c popcorn, 1/4 c sugar, 1 t fine sea salt). You put the sugar on the kernels just as they begin to pop. Wasabi and Ginger Popcorn...one of my favourites...

    I was at home with a head cold and could not believe what I was seeing on TV while lying there on the couch. It was so surreal, like living in a nightmare. The utter horror and pain people went through (and continue to go through) really tugged at my heart. The desperate anguish on their faces is what I remember most. And all the ash and massive destruction...

    I just KNEW there was something obvious I was missing when I was typing above - PASTA!!!! Fresh, homemade fabulous durum pasta. I'm making my own gluten-free pasta but it is just not the same. I stick fresh herbs between sheets and roll out, creating lovely patterns and flavour to try to make up for the missing gluten. FYI cakes and cupcakes are...

    As you know, I love to make all I can possible from scratch (including fruit leather). Happened upon this method today that some of you maybe interested in. I will make this with my own homemade roasted applesauce. Open Original Shared Link

    Not exciting but tasty... Grilled 1 1/2" Ribeye with Herb Garlic Compound Butter Grilled Baby Potatoes on Rosemary Skewers with Bay Leaves and Roasted Garlic Roasted Baby Beets and Carrots with Orange and Sage Jicama Slaw with Soy Vinaigrette Chocolate Marquise with Hazelnut Chocolate Tuiles (for my husband) - it is utterly decadent and he soooo deserves...

    I like to use shrimp, chicken and/or pork and make a Thai or Korean dressing rather than a sate/satay sauce (but that, of course, is just personal preference). First I marinate the protein in an Asian pear lemongrass marinade for WOW flavour. When I make the wraps I like to julienne daikon in addition to the carrots and add black sesame seeds. I drizzle...

    I can replicate most things from scratch (cookies and cakes are easy) but some still elude me including profiteroles, eclairs, yeast doughnuts, bagels, English muffins and really great chewy bread especially. Very good puff pastry and phyllo pastry are now a distant sad memory. Beef Wellington just isn't the same! I miss spontaneity and not having to plan...

    That's awesome, Marilyn! I just love balsamic syrup and use it on all kinds of things - basting quail, drizzling over rib eye, even on ice cream! Also yummy drizzled over grilled or roasted vegetables. I have been unwell lately so have not been cooking, unfortunately, but miss it like mad! Hopefully tomorrow I will be at it again as I have some fabulous...

    You can make sweet potato, beet, carrot, parsnip, kale, etc. chips as well. I use my mandoline and bake or microwave. I also make fabulous roasted garlic shoestring fries - julienned (mandoline), roasted with garlic oil until crispy and then sprinkled with crispy garlic. Open Original Shared Link

    You can also use Google Translate. I use that when I contact our friends in Croatia. I, too, use restaurant cards I have made up and laminated...cannot recall which website but they were fairly comprehensive. They come in many languages and I will be using them in Slovenia as well as Croatia and Italy in October. (I find that I have rarely had to use them...

    Sadly, a big fat NO! We must be super diligent 100% of the time. I did not get sick from eating gluten, either, and many people find their sensitivity to gluten increases over time. More importantly, think of the damage it can do to your gut! It does not take a lot of gluten to cause problems (i.e. other illnesses/diseases). It is hard, I know, especially...

    After going gluten free I felt odd for about three weeks. My symptoms included irritability, moodiness, intense hunger, carb cravings, headaches and dizziness. Not that I was incredibly ill, just off - almost like malaise. Some of us do experience gluten withdrawal so it could be possible with you! Feel better soon.

    This is nothing to do with your biopsy but perhaps you feel ill from aspartame from the diet Mountain Dew. Upon the advice of my chiropractor I eliminated aspartame from my diet as it can exacerbate abdominal issues in some as well as increased muscle pain. Hopefully this is not true for you because I know it is your special indulgence.

    That is awesome. Lucky little girls!

    Dave, this is off the topic but I must comment - assuming that photo is of your daughter she is absolutely DARLING!

    I know. I used to use milk powder in my bread recipes but cannot any longer. I liked the structure/texture of doughs that milk powder gives. I have never bought flour blends as I do up my own but sometimes wonder whether there are actually decent commercial blends out there!

    The French Laundry is one of the top restaurants in the U.S. - it is incredible. Anyway, they have come out with a AP gluten-free flour blend called C4C (cup for cup). Pretty cool, albeit a bit pricey at $19.95 for 3 lb at Williams Sonoma. The ingredients are not unique (except it does include milk powder which is in many recipes but not all) but it still...
