    Good for you! Now that you have confidence just think of what your future holds. Soon you'll be baking bread and croissants! FYI brownies, cookies and many cakes are very easy to make gluten free. Far, far better than bought, as you have found out.

    I rarely check out the sensitive section as I am not BUT happened upon this particular thread as it looked very intriguing. The Celiac State must have: - NO MOSQUITOES, slugs or aphids - no ridiculously noisy and incomprehensibly insane neighbours - only kind quiet ones allowed - no temps above 75F or below 50F with regular rainfall so things stay...

    Delicious Vichyssoise soup and black plums.

    Hi and welcome! Just know that gluten-free bread does not even come close to the gluten version. Sorry, but it is unfortunately true. The first time I made it I cried, spreading it into the pan rather than kneading it. But there are some decent versions out there. You may want to try Kinnickinnik's new soft bread, Udi's or Rudi's. Glutino Genius...

    My husband and I are pigs and hoarders. We eat extremely well. We have 2 small freezers plus the freezers above our two fridges. We freeze a LOT of food - we buy whole local lamb, ducks, geese, chickens, bison, seafood, pork, whatever and have a very, very well-stocked house. (I love variety.) Many things freeze very well EXCEPT dairy-based things...

    As a frequent and avid international traveler, I will address that issue. I have yet to travel to Spain gluten free but have been to Italy, Croatia and Slovenia since my diagnosis 15 months ago. Italy is known to be one of the easiest countries on our earth to travel to with celiac. Not sure about Spain specifically but I find that even in the past year...

    Your husband and I would fight over the jelly, too. I love the stuff. All I do for the glaze is reduce either red or white wine (or even Port) until syrupy (by about 2/3 to 3/4) then add a bit of jelly and fresh thyme. Then just glaze the loaf. I do the same with other jellies such as apricot and apple as they both go with meatloaf, especially if...

    You're cute. The recipe I posted below is easy but if you want I can type out a more complex version!
  11. love2travel
    This is the real thing - bolognese sauce. My recipe is about two pages long to type so I looked for one that is quite similar. It is Mario Batali's version (with milk, IH!) and pancetta. It is also easier than my version. I make a big batch and freeze but you can easily half this. Some bolognese recipes use red wine, some white. I like white in this...

    Have you considered sauces other than tomato for meatloaf such as a red currant wine sauce or brown sugar sauce or mustard sauce or...?
  13. love2travel
    In my opinion, roasting the tomatoes first makes an amazingly wonderful difference in the flavour. Slow roasting concentrates the flavour and the natural sugars caramelize. Same with garlic - roasted garlic is more mellow than raw. The following is a recipe using this technique (and this is a very, very simple recipe): Open Original Shared Link (you...

    Yes - I make nearly everything in my house from scratch. Wouldn't imagine doing anything but. Are you looking for a simple sauce or more complex?
  15. love2travel
    No idea whether I have been glutened since going gluten free 15 months ago or not! My dentist has noticed increased enamel strength (but I didn't). Ongoing chronic insomnia and pain have not changed. Always there, darn it! But much of that is from an accident nearly five years ago. No pattern whatsoever for me!
  16. love2travel
    Chronic conditions forcing you to be bedridden are horrid - I understand how that is. I was bedridden with a back injury and nearly five years later have constant back pain. I totally understand that you do not have energy and that with chronic pain there is muscle wasting involved due to inactivity. All sorts of serious pain meds did absolutely nothing...

    Deep breath - I'm ok. Isn't it incredible what food associations and memories we have from long ago? Both good and bad.
  20. love2travel
    Thanks for sharing your awesome news. I know how concerning and downright painful an abscessed tooth can be (I had one and had to have an emergency root canal over Christmas). But I do not have an issue with corn as you do. Stories like this are good for the soul!
  21. love2travel
    That would do me in. I do have serious insomnia so I rarely sleep well but I still make myself get up every day at the same time. I just love mornings - they are new and full of promise. And cooler! Oh, in winter when it is -40F I do NOT bundle up for my walks until about noon but I still get up early. Now I've got to put that horrific wintery thought...

    I have not been to the U.S. since my diagnosis so cannot compare there but I can compare Italy with Canada. It is better but Canada has really improved lately. Reason? Italy is far more aware of it than we are. It is mandatory that children are tested for celiac by the age of 6. Everyone knows about it and many have celiac disease. And Italians are...

    AM for me - I am an early morning person. I go for my daily walk at 6 AM. Definitely NOT a night owl and am in bed by 10 PM. You?

    It's true that so much of this stuff is just plain yucky. I rarely purchase anything processed as I cook and bake everything humanly possible from scratch which is better tasting and better for you. There are, however, a couple of decent breads to try. One is Glutino's Genius and the other is Kinnickinnik's new soft bread that does not need to be toasted...

    Oh, sorry. And here I was suggesting all these non-veg places. But I would suspect that they would have at least some choice of things to eat. Usually better restaurants have one vegetarian option. I'm pretty sure that Madison's Grill does. All the places I listed have websites so you could give them a call. Do you have your own favourites in Edmonton...
