    Remember that you are NOT alone. We are here for encouragement and to share our personal experiences, which are many and varied. For the first few months my dietitian recommended I avoid raw fruit as I too had troubles with it. Now I eat it with no problem whatsoever. Just give your gut time to heal. Take it slow, breathe and focus on things you...

    Many of us here had gluten withdrawal and the symptoms are many and varied. I was quite nauseous and got daily headaches and felt dizzy. It lasted for a few weeks then disappeared. Others have said it lasted longer so unfortunately it is impossible to tell you how long it will last. Our bodies are all different; subsequently, healing times/symptoms are...

    Do you have a grill or barbecue? Grilled pork chops are so wonderful. Especially after brining!! Another idea is roasting seasoned chops (in a cast iron skillet - if you do not have one, it is a must for so much) in the oven with grapes and onions (chopped). They all roast together and become caramelized and sticky. So good with apricots, too.

    EXACTLY!!! Everyone knows that bacon and butter make everything better! And just a wee bit more calorific.

    ....and our season here is far shorter than New Jersey as we are far north of you. At least we have very long summer days!

    They are good. I just switch some of the ingredients up. Actually, I almost never user bread crumbs for Hasselbacks. I insert garlic and bay leaves in between slices and cover with cheese and scallions. They are so good!

    This is how I feel as well. I hope you have another support system in place as you do need one. Please take care of yourself and continue on the gluten-free road to good health. Remember changing your lifestyle is likely saving your life! It is that important. Life is a very precious thing. Hope to see you back sooner than you think!

    I can't imagine not liking pork chops! But then I am a carnivore. Have you ever brined pork chops before? It takes water, salt and maybe a touch of maple syrup and it makes all the difference (just google for recipes - they are dead easy). I like to throw in a vanilla bean and juniper berries into my brines but you do not have to. Do you have...

    That would be very wise. I was diagnosed four days before going to Italy. I should have waited to start eating gluten free after the trip! Looking back I had so much gluten there it is not even funny. Get this - my husband ordered this fabulous pasta soup. He picked out the pasta and I finished the soup!! Anyway, you learn from these mistakes so it...

    Tonight we're going to Bangkok: Moo Yang (grilled pork that has been marinated in garlic, cilantro, fish and soy sauce, coconut cream, etc.) Green Papaya Salad Sticky Coconut Rice

    Awesome! Isn't it wonderful? Seriously good with potato chips and pretzels. The good thing about making your own sundae (or anything else for that matter) is that you control the ingredients and can make it exactly how you like it.

    Man, I love the combination of the saltiness with ice cream or almost anything. Bacon jam is amazing as is sliced bacon brushed with maple syrup then roasted in the oven. Bacon and chocolate also have an affinity for one another. I encourage you to try it - hopefully you will be pleasantly surprised!

    You already have beets and cabbage from your own garden? We are only just starting to get a few tiny radishes coming. Man, sometimes I really dislike our short summers. So glad you liked the gastrique! Now you can make it with anything and have it with anything. And it sounds fancy and looks fancy but is simple. Your dinners sound very good. Korean...

    My VitaMix is brilliant for smoothies (ahem smooth ice cream). I use frozen mango, strawberries, banana, peaches, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, cranberries, grapes, pomegranate...and if I want a tropical smoothie, I add a bit of coconut milk and coconut extract along with the vanilla I always add. Or some freshly-squeezed lime, orange or lemon...

    Sorry - I posted it the day after you asked for it but obviously that post did not show up. Weird. Anyway, here we go again... Open Original Shared Link

    I use millet, buckwheat, sweet rice, chestnut, hazelnut, coconut and almond flours. You can easily make chocolate crepes as well. Crepes are very forgiving as far as subbing flours (not like baking bread where more science is involved). BTW, what are you filling them with?
  22. love2travel
    It's not as though flour is easy to pack into a cup! It's too light. That is an odd term to use for flour but I would take it as pouring or dipping into the cup as opposed to spooning it in (the yield actually is different due to the aeration).
  23. love2travel
    Oh, I am so very sorry that you must go through this all over again. The shock of it all must be enormous and hard to bear. Stick with me - I'm not a chocolate fan so we could hang out together! The other things would be very tough. Anyway, I empathize with you and your plight. As we always say on here once you get your head around it it WILL...

    Certainly. I love braised vegetables! http://www.yummly.com/recipe/Braised-Hearts-of-Celery-Vinaigrette-Food_com-149062?servings=6

    There was extra fresh homemade pasta from last night so I am making a truffle cream sauce for it. We brought the preserved truffles back with us from Croatia. They are heavenly! Braised celery in white wine. Strawberry limeade.
