    And you can make it even more gorgeous! I have seen such intricate detailed photos of sushi that when sliced portray patterns such as flowers or animals. Lovely. Like I said, it is easy to make. When people say they miss such and such a dish I try to encourage them to make it at home. Homemade is always better and you know precisely what goes into it...

    You are a kind friend. Cakes can be easily made gluten-free with excellent crumb, flavour and texture. If I was going to cheat it certainly would not be cake but something more difficult to replicate! (Not going to cheat as I mentioned before.) Anyway, if she likes coconut this cake is one of my favourites... Open Original Shared Link What...

    I never use mixes as I love to scratch bake but Molten Chocolate Lava Cakes are incredibly simple to make but look a bit decadent. I was making them long before I had even heard of celiac disease! They were popular in restaurants about ten years ago.

    If you really crave sushi it is very simple to make at home. Sushi rice itself is gluten-free as is nori. It is what goes into the rice that can be suspect (i.e. I have seen a few brands of rice wine vinegar that contain wheat). Then it is just a matter of using real crab, shrimp, salmon, whatever. If you use wasabi and/or miso just ensure it is gluten...

    Same here. No warning or anything - just the nurse's blunt, "Did you know you have celiac disease? You cannot eat gluten any more. Go see a dietitian for handouts." That threw me into a panic as I was not expecting that result whatsoever! Boy, have I learned a lot since then and about 98% of it from this board.

    I too like Annalise's book (far more than Fenster for example) but like the "Blackbird Bakery Gluten Free" book even more because there are some interesting and unique recipes in there (i.e. scratch lady fingers for tiramisu, choux pastry, eclairs, popovers. Rather than having only a few flour blends for the entire book these recipes all have their unique...

    Oh, most definitely! No one need worry - I would be the last person to ever, EVER cheat. I have no need to. You should see how meticulous I am! My health care team members have told me that it takes 2-5 years to completely heal but I am not looking at it in terms of time as I must be super strict regardless. I am just a very curious person by nature...

    Same here - I never have become ill from eating gluten so I found it extra hard going gluten-free! But am glad I did, of course, as damage was being done inside. I have never had seizures like you, though. Part of me is curious about trying gluten now after being strictly gluten-free for six months but I won't. Wonder how I would react now?

    This is called Tourtiere and I love it! I add a bit of freshly-grated nutmeg instead of cloves but that is just a personal taste preference.

    As the weather has cooled off a bit I am taking advantage of it and am making: Focaccia Spring Pea Soup with Chive Oil (would normally also add a homemade peppered creme fraiche but am making a far healthier choice so am not!) Sauteed Julienned Zucchini with Lemon Mint Vinaigrette I am also making a big batch of marina sauce to have on hand.

    When all it takes is 1/100th of one peanut to cause a reaction and internal damage it would not be surprising for the cookies to cause that! Three cookies can contain a lot of gluten. Have you been diagnosed with celic or gluten intolerance? If so, you should be strictly off gluten for the rest of your life (sorry but it is true ). Hope you feel...

    I know what you mean about the company insisting that spouses attend events. However, there are some events that my husband's firm requires spouses to attend that I do not really mind such as flying to London, Paris, San Francisco, Prague, etc. for their AGMs. We get S P O I L E D to bits. Everything is paid for and we go to the best restaurants and...

    What a conundrum! My reaction would be the same as yours. I would be grateful for the kind thought and willingness to make things gluten-free for my sake, yet at the same time how on earth could you trust it? Can you say cross contamination? I am one of those people who live to eat, not eat to live, so truly understand how hard it would be to take your...

    Our DQ has absolutely no clue what gluten even is so there is a reason for my paranoia! I would not trust a single thing that came out of that building.

    I just thought of giving up dairy last Monday and has this silly dream a week or so before that. But I was on some new potent painkillers at the time that I stopped using a few days later. The side effects were horrid! I'm glad for the encouragement about cheese. You know how much I love it! My husband and I will be in Italy six weeks from right...

    I just checked out the website - those baguettes look like they should! Too bad we have nothing of the sort in Canada. Seems like we are almost always far behind the U.S. with gluten-free products... Hopefully we will see it here soon!

    After being strictly gluten free for five months that started happening to me a month ago. All my related ultrasounds, x-rays, bloodwork came back normal. So, I came to the decision to eliminate dairy (sadly). Being off it for a week has really made a difference. I know I have not been glutened at all, either, so it must be dairy!

    I, too, was diagnosed with FMS and celiac. The maximum dose of Tramadol has not worked for me at all - just like eating candy or something. Same with the other 20 medications I have tried for chronic pain including Oxycontin and morphine. So far after being strictly gluten-free for six months I have even more pain than ever (but I also have major injuries...

    Thanks for the information. I took nutrition in university but it is one thing to know something in your mind and quite another to practice it. Thankfully I almost never eat anything processed - I make my own condiments and everything but I have been doing lots of gluten-free baking and experimenting. I also test many recipes for various cookbooks, magazines...

    This started happening to me after being strictly gluten free for five months. I know I have not been cross contaminated, etc. because my bloodwork last week said my results were negative from an extremely high positive when first diagnosed. I decided to go off dairy a week ago and have already seen an improvement. I was SO hoping it would not be dairy...

    Glad you had an awesome stock-up party! When I was diagnosed I was asymptomatic (diagnosed as my sister was gluten intolerant so I requested testing) but my poor little villi were all flattened. But the good news is after being gluten-free for five months I had bloodwork again to see where I am at. My number when diagnosed was 71; now it is 3.8...

    Oh, Raven. I am SO sorry about your precious dog. We had to euthanize our beloved border collie a year ago and she was like the little girl we never had. Seriously. We loved her that much so I understand how devastating this must be. It must bo incredibly hard keeping on with less motivation and with an unsupportive family to boot. I am one of those...

    Would you mind letting us know how well this keeps? I always scratch bake but am curious as to the properties of mixes.
