    Great news for you! Many of us also went through a short period of gluten withdrawal. I did - I felt ill (not terribly) and dizzy and extremely hungry for about a week then that disappeared. Just sort of warning you in case it happens to you - it may not! Either way, you are on your way to a whole new world. Poke around this site - there...

    I would personally recommend you buy a couple of gluten-free baking books, but not cookbooks (except for the Asian gluten free book which is amazing). Reason? I've flipped through about 100 gluten-free cookbooks in bookstores and am constantly disappointed because all the authors usually do is replace gluten-free soy sauce for regular. Many are a joke...

    Believe me, you will have your KA for your lifetime and if you have children, for their lifetimes. They are that good. I truly cannot imagine not having mine. Mine stays out on the counter as there is a perfect spot for it. However, when I make pasta (i.e. tomorrow!) I must slide it out. I got mine from eBay years ago and it looks as pristine as it did...

    Ah...some German/Austrian influence! Sounds very good. Can you find gluten-free gingersnaps to put into the sauerbraten or do you make them? I LOVE sauerbraten.

    Yes!! Go directly to the butcher.

    I'm so glad! I know I probably often come across as a food snob - I really do not intend it but I admit I am pretty darned picky about great food. How is your daughter feeling now? I hope she is better and that you can determine what caused her troubles. I have not ever been to PF Chang's in my life so I cannot comment on that particular place. However...

    YES! There are some ethnic groups that offer many intrinsically gluten free foods. Man, I love Indian and Thai. Some northern African places have awesome stuff, as do Argentinian grills. And what you say about cooking so well that you do not need to go to regular restaurants. Amen, sister! If you can cook better than most why go out?? And anyone...

    Great! I have made about 20 of her recipes and so far they are definitely amongst my favourites. The brownies are very good. I agree about scratch baking and cooking - I very rarely go out because the stuff we can make is so amazing that there is no need. Although you CAN make your own sub buns! Do you have a French bread loaf pan? You can make...

    I was THINKING "encore" in my head but my fingers typed "leftovers". Bad fingers. Tis true - usually encore dishes are re-invented or transformed into something else. Some people do not like encores but I do. Love 'em.

    Last of the leftovers: Meatloaf with Red Wine Glaze Potato Chive Pancakes Cardamom Roasted Carrots Fresh Fruit Salad with Lime Honey Glaze

    Raspberry and Mango Smoothie (with lactose-free yogurt). It was lovely and thick as a milkshake. YUM!

    I've had my heavy duty professional series Kitchen Aid stand mixer for several years and use it at least three times a week (but then I do a lot of baking/cooking!). Sometimes I use it multiple times in one day. I haven't used pre-packaged items so cannot compare. However, some recipes I make would be very difficult without my KA like making a large batch...

    I was diagnosed in Februuary 2012 and went gluten free a month later (I wanted my last binge). My Mom almost certainly has celiac but is satisfied with her negative bloodwork results. She is not taking it any further and truly believes she does not have it. A sister is gluten intolerant. I am positive that a nephew has it but as his bloodwork...

    Not silly! I would feel strongly about that, too. Eggs are so good and very versatile. I have them often and would have a difficult time without 'em. Man, I hope you can safely have eggs again! That would be AWESOME!

    My eating out experiences have been great except for twice. I do not go to chains. If there is a new place we want to go to I call to speak with the chef or manager and ask a lot of questions. Great restaurants should know/expect this. If they even go ahead and explain how cross contamination is prevented and so on before I ask, that is a wonderful sign...

    Thankfully Sloppy Joe recipes are almost always naturally gluten free. This is a basic recipe from which to build on by adding your own bits and pieces: Open Original Shared Link Hope you can find great tasting ground beef! I am not super sensitive by any stretch so I am afraid I cannot help you there. I have never had any problems with ground beef...

    I am happy as I get to spend two weeks with my family whom I have not seen for many months as they all live several hours away. Of course cross contamination is a concern so I will be doing all the cooking at all four homes I will be staying at. For that I am thankful because if I cannot cook for more than about two days I get antsy. I am going to be introducing...

    I have been experimenting like crazy, since Day 2 or 3 of my diagnosis 10 months ago. And now I have 22 kinds of flours/starches that I really enjoy playing with. My first couple of loaves of bread were not a success because I was shocked at the texture. Now I am over that shock and treat it as it is. I believe someone else mentioned that they llike it...

    Toasted homemade gluten-free bread with blood orange marmalade I made last week. Unsweetened fruit cup.

    How cool is this? I go to Saskatoon regularly (used to live there) and will definitely stop in for a look.

    I used to get leg cramps, mainly at night, and was told by my chronic pain doc to increase my magnesium to 900-1800 mg. He also recommended using magnesium glycinate as it is said a far higher percentage is absorbed than plain old magnesium. It took about a month at 900 mg before I felt a difference. But if you try this, be sure to increase magnesium gradually...

    Not yet! It is what many professional kitchens do but then they have access to great equipment. You make a good point. So far I have not done it at high heat and my cast is so heavy that I cannot imagine warping. They are so heavy I must get my husband to put them in/take them out or I risk hurting my back.

    I really hope this leads to success in the tomato department for you!

    James Beard's Meatloaf with Red Wine Glaze Roasted Garlic and Caramelized Onion Mashed Potatoes with Roasted Mustard Seeds Seared Broccoli Spears with Lemon and Crispy Capers Julienned Cucumber Salad Cheese Biscuits I made earlier in the day

    Thanks! I got too lazy to google myself.
