    Germany is so wonderful - more of my family lives in Germany than here in Canada. It was so interesting to go and trace my roots. I went to a cemetary where many of my relatives were buried, six or more people deep. I also went to my ancient ancestral home - it was a huge mansion built many hundreds of years ago. My family still lives in it but it...

    After cancelling our trip due to my intense ongoing pain we have rescheduled and are leaving Wednesday. We are flying to Italy then renting a car to drive to our house in Croatia for three lovely weeks. So, now we are doing about 392 last-minute things. However, I am still in much pain - I always am - so could you use your prayers. The flights are brutally...

    Not to mention one of the catchiest titles EVER!

    This is what I miss most - a $35,000 dessert... Open Original Shared Link I'm not a chocolate fan but I do love champagne and caviar!

    Quick and easy tonight: Grilled Marinated Shell-on Shrimp (in lime juice, fresh ginger, kaffir lime leaves, lemongrass, fish sauce, garlic, Thai chiles, etc.) Veggie Stir Fry with Cashews and Sesame Seeds ...all served over gluten-free udon noodles Getting ready to leave on vacation for three weeks (leaving Wednesday) so are cleaning out the...

    Oh, man, yes. And churros and profiteroles. Salted caramel tart with shortbread crust. I can make it gluten-free decently but not perfectly. Tarte Tatin.

    So sorry - I am so passionate about food and cooking and at times that shows TOO much! I need to reign myself in once in awhile...

    Have you tried millet and buckwheat pasta combination? I cannot recall the brand name but it is the best gluten-free pasta I have tried by far. Vastly superior to icky corn and rice pasta. And I am extremely picky about food. Wait a minute - it is called King Soba and comes in a few flavours. Expensive but worth it. It has a nice texture and flavour...

    Well, you're in luck! gluten-free mozzarella sticks and onion rings are easy to make and just as delicious. I know what you mean about soft pretzels, potstickers and fried chicken, though. Fried chicken can still be nearly as good, though.

    Gnudi are so fabulous with roasted butternut squash and sage, too, in addition to the bechamel or with browned butter sauce. Man, am I getting hungry!

    Yum! My kind of recipe. I love making pasta, dumplings, gnocchi and so on and it is so reassuring that there is no reason to ever have to settle for yucky gluten free food! I made a big batch of delicious marinara sauce and am actually making something similar to your recipe tomorrow evening with homemade ricotta (easy to make).

    Could not have said it better myself! You can also lightly brush them with oil and bake until crispy in the oven for corn chips which also has many uses.

    I know what you mean! Triscuits have that pleasant textured crunch that is unique and goes so well with so many yummy things. Thanks a lot for bringing it up! Kidding.

    Never mind - did some searching and found the information I was looking for. Thanks again! This will be a great help.

    Hi again, Veronica! I do not recall where you typed information on pizza places and other gluten-free restaurants in old Venice and Mestre. Sorry - would it be too much of a bother to post or PM me? Actually, it may be good to post here for others' benefit as well. Thanks lots!

    I've never made cookies from a mix so have no clue whether those specific chocolate chips contained casein - milk chocolate indeed can! Another thing to watch out for. However, if you really crave chocolate chip cookies, they are incredibly easy to make from scratch - that way you can use Earth Balance fat (I haven't but others have) and see if you can...

    I'm not a chef but teach culinary classes and am obsessed with cooking and food. I can make most things gluten-free very well except for the following: - buttery flaky croissants - fabulous ciabatta with good chew - phyllo and puff pastry (I miss making Beef Wellington, Steak and Ale Pie) but I do adapt - soft puffy yeast doughnuts - I really...

    I take 5,000 IU of D3 per day and at my recent follow-up appointment was happy to discover my values are smack dab in the middle of the normal range (after taking them six months).

    How about meatballs and provolone or mozzarella cheese? I really love roasted pear, arugula and blue cheese with fig jam or bacon jam (I LOVE making jams). Roast chicken with lemon or roasted garlic aioli and sundried tomatoes. Vegetarian with broccoli sprouts, cucumbers, tomatoes, greens, red onion, pickled hot peppers, etc. Thinly-sliced grilled Thai...

    As mentioned, stuffing the bird may not be a great idea, especially if it is overstuffed as the turkey may not cook properly all the way through. Poultry must be cooked to 170 degrees internally - anything over will result in a very dry bird but under is risky, of course. Just make a batch of stuffing/dressing and cook separately, using lots of drippings...

    Caramel is extremely simple to make, too.

    Homey comfort food for tonight... James Beard's Meatloaf with Piquante Glaze Mashed Potatoes with Chive Oil Minted Pea Puree

    I have the KA attachments and still use them because I fortunately had no problems with any previous dough sticking anywhere at all. I still cleaned them thoroughly with a toothpick and Q-tips. To be sure, I ran through one gluten free batch that I threw out.

    When traveling why not use restaurant cards? They come in several languages. You can print them, laminate them, give them to the server or chef. They are very clear on what you can/cannot have, cross contamination, etc. There are a few websites from which you can purchase or print them. We travel to other countries with them and so far so good! When...

    So sorry to hear that. Food is my passion as well, so I teach gluten-free cooking classes both privately and at the college. It is a blessing to be skilled with culinary techniques and knowledge when you have celiac, that is for sure. If I had no interest in food things could get boring quickly! So, put your passion into it wholeheartedly. But take the...
