    Strangely when I was in Venice last November and then again two weeks ago most gelato was NOT gluten free. Whenever I asked, they refused to serve it to me. In fact, they even showed me the list of ingredients and more often then not, sure enough - the label said "gluten". I was quite surprised, actually. Just something to note in case others travel to...

    Homemade dinner rolls grilled with ham, Provolone, blueberry ketchup I made yesterday and spicy mustard we brought back from Croatia.

    What recipe did you use? I want to know details, too. My recipe turns out delicious bagels. Marilyn, they are worth making!

    To keep accountable I see my dietitian. She is well versed with celiac disease and has encouraged me along the way to decrease my fruit intake (although you say you do not eat sugar) as I was eating too much. Sugar really does it for me. Not only that but a pain med I was on caused me to gain a lot of weight. Quickly. Many pain meds can contribute to...

    That is called a brine. I brine whole chickens, duck, pork, etc. Sometimes my brine contains juniper berries, bay leaves, citrus zest, maple syrup, etc. But 1.5-2 hours is crazy long for chicken breasts. I would bake for 30 minutes and then see if they are done. It also helps to pound the chicken into an even thickness - often breasts are thicker...

    AMEN! It drives me crazy to observe those who say they are celiac but then laughingly proceed to eat a gluten-laden cookie. I treat my celiac diagnosis as a potential life-threatening illness (not imminent but it has potential to kill later on) and take it very seriously. This does not mean that I talk about it with others or draw attention to it (I despise...

    Both ways have merits. I had to have the scope done because I simply did not believe I could have celiac. Can you say denial? At that time, I did not have obvious symptoms or feel at all eating gluten. I found out through genetic testing. My doctor told me my bloodwork was positive but at that time I did not really get it and thought that was not enough...

    Oh, isn't Henry James awesome? Same with Wilkie Collins - I have many of his books on my Kobo.

    Strawberry and Mango Smoothie (it's my favourite way to get calcium naturally)

    Oh, I love Shepherd's Pie! It is the ultimate in comfort food like Steak and Ale Pie, Chicken and Dumplings, Cassoulet and so on.

    That is really an interesting way of viewing it. And oh, so right! Love it.

    Wow - that is incredible considering other gluten-free breads (not nearly as good) can be up to $7.49 for a loaf or $10 at a Farmer's Market! Did you grab several to freeze? This is definitely my new favourite commercial gluten-free bread. We can get it where I live for $4.99.

    Homemade gluten-free Pasta with Truffle Cream (using preserved truffles we brought back from Croatia recently) Watermelon Salad with Aleppo Pepper and Fresh Herbs Cherry Gallette (free form) Can't wait!

    Are you serious? Mystery and Detective fiction is my favourite genre in books. Especially British (i.e. Agatha Christie). You must know all about her, Ngaio Marsh, Erle Stanley Garner, Rex Stout, Anne Perry...

    Yes, I will. I would be happy to feed you! This community has helped me with my celiac journey more than my local so-called support group or any other group. People are understanding and GET IT!!

    Reading anything by Daphne deMaurier I can get my hands on. She wrote "Rebecca", "My Cousin Rachel", "The House on the Strand". Absolutely brilliant.

    Enabler. One of my favourite sites with contemporary gluten-free recipes is www.glutenfreegoddess.com. Her brownies are delicious as well. If I crave something, I simply find a way to make it such as crepes, biscuits, scones, pizza crust, cookies, cakes, breads, bagels, pastry and so on. The only things I have not mastered at this point are...

    ...and don't forget Pineapple Coconut or Peach Almond. Open Original Shared Link The secret is roasting the bananas first for better flavour. I simply add some flax and very good chocolate which I cut into chunks and slivers using my knife. This makes excellent banana bread but also very good muffins! Use whatever blend you have on hand for this...

    ...and if you lived even remotely near me I would invite you over for dinner each night! Can you imagine the great conversations we would have? IH, you are more than welcome to fly on over whenever you like! There is an extra place setting for you.

    Amen to using up ingredients! Strawberry banana and flax muffins are one of my favourites, as is banana nut chocolate and lemon poppyseed. I have not yet tried any baking mixes but I have heard many good comments regarding Pamela's mixes.

    If you have a muffin craving in the future, they are very simple to make just as good gluten free. And for quite a bit cheaper. That is, if you are so inclined...

    It has been interesting reading your posts. And you have such a great reason so celebrate you and celebrate life. I am happy because you are happy. It is contagious! So, keep doing what you are doing. In this world of ours it seems news is often bleak and disheartening but yours is encouraging and edifying. Thanks for posting!

    Rather than go out to eat, I would rather have friends over and cook and bake incredibly delectable gluten-free food for them. We have no safe restaurants for a three-hour radius but I am thankful I love to cook. Maybe instead of going out or putting yourself in the position of seeing pizza and so on, make your own delicious pizza for friends. Heck, you...

    This Tuscan Chestnut Crepes with Ricotta recipe is excellent and very easy. Open Original Shared Link This one is my favourite - the crepes are light and almost lacy, just as they should be. Millet Chestnut Crepes: Open Original Shared Link
