    This looks yummy. But I don't know how to measure in grams (I'm assuming that's what the "g" stands for?) Why are some measurements in grams and others in tablespoons and cups? I thought T and cups weren't metric? Anyway... I wish we could have a conversion thing for those of us who can barely cook anyway, without throwing in the wrinkle of metric.

    How in the world do you even have brownies leftover to "sit on the counter for 1 to 2 days"??? Around here they never last that long. -- Well, I have a box of this brownie mix but haven't tried it yet. I was waiting till my dh and ds go on their trip next weekend so I wouldn't have to share. (it will just be dd and me, and dd doesn't eat as much as...

    Excellent idea! They're eating all the food, let them do some cooking. lol... It didn't actually occur to me for two reasons. One, I hate to cook. And two, we haven't had a working oven until just two weeks ago. But, we just got a new stove/oven! woot! Now I just need to actually start using it. But you're right, I know it's easy to roast a chicken. And...

    You mentioned the peanut butter so I'm wondering if you've tried the all-natural peanut butter? Just nuts. That's it. Most stores like Whole Foods and lots of grocery stores have a grinder somewhere in the store and they have peanut butter right there that's been ground, or you can do your own peanuts. I'm pretty sure you can also buy pb already-packaged...

    So... my quick dinner after a long day is to buy two of those roasted chickens from the grocery store (two because I'm feeding teenagers, and then I have some leftovers). Mashed potatoes. Salad. Done. sigh... I didn't even think about it last night in terms of gluten. However, later when I got all those familiar gluten reactions (I'll leave the TMI stuff...

    Yah, I hear you. Mine was bottled bbq sauce. I was so careful -- we had steak (with just some salt and pepper), baked potato, and corn on the cob. No gluten anywhere in sight. So why didn't I think to read the bottle of bbq sauce? Who knows... my only excuse was that I'd only been at this diet for a few weeks. oy.. Hope you feel better soon.

    Rofl! Yes, please pass the wine. My husband once told me that I could eat some quiche because "it was mostly eggs anyway". I said yes it is, but what's the rest of it made of. He said "well, crust, but not much of it." --- And my mother has been thinking that she might try the gluten-free diet since she has stomach troubles. She said to me "I...

    I'm glad it's going well. And hey, I realized I know someone who's competing. Michael Adee, from New Mexico. He plays tennis. He said that the motto of the games is "Personal best with no rivals, only comrades in unity." I like that. We should all follow that in the rest of our lives, not just in gaming. Well, have fun. I hope you get your...

    I just had my new stove delivered last week. And I have a box of this Gluten-free cake mix sitting right on my counter! woot! I could never bake in my old oven because the temp settings didn't work properly. Can't wait to try some cupcakes! Now, if I could only find Gluten-free bisquick I'd be in heaven.

    Ouch. {{ shudder! }}

    I must have missed this originally -- what surgery did she have? Hope she's recovering well.
  12. Monklady123
    Drat, we don't have Kroger around here. I'll check though, just in case there might be one in the next town. And in my regular store (Giant). Thanks!
  13. Monklady123
    Where did you find it? In a regular store? I can only get Udi's at Whole Foods so if I could find a good bread at my regular store that would be great! I really don't like going into Whole Foods because I'm am totally incapable of just going in for one thing and coming back out again. lol... I think it's Nature's Own that makes a really high-fiber regular...

    I don't know the ingredients of the crust because I can't remember the name of the company that he told me. I thought it was great! Not quite the same as regular gluten crust but definitely I'd buy it again. And it was NOT $20! oy... I just went to the website and the one I ordered was $12.00. Still pricey but definitely worth it once in awhile.

    So one of our favorite places to get take-out is Vocelli's. It's a chain, Italian obviously. SO I looked on the website and didn't see any mention of gluten-free. But I thought I'd call just in case: Me: Hi. Could you tell me please if you sell gluten-free pizza? Vocelli guy: [pause] "Huh?" Me: Gluten-free pizza [although I figured I already knew...

    Ditto! lol... (off to get something to eat now)..

    As a newbie myself I don't have much specific advice, except to second whoever said to read this site. I went back all the way to the last page of this forum and just browsed my way forward. lol... I've also browsed in the "people with kids" forum (or whatever it's called) and got TONS of good ideas there for snacks, and things like that. And don't forget...
  18. Monklady123
    I mean, I know what it is -- it's eating in order to pinpoint something that's causing a reaction. But is there "the" elimination diet? i.e., week one, eat just this and this and that. Week two, eat just these things. etc. Or is it basically just eat plainly and gradually introduce things that you think are bothering you? I'm going to go Google it now...
  19. Monklady123
    Thanks for all the replies. (I work all day Sunday so didn't get back here till now.) I will look for that wheatless rye. Also search on the internet and see what comes up. -- Yes, I suppose he is sort-of being supportive. lol... it's just that when it's just me not eating gluten it's so much easier to plan... just cook either gluten-free or cook for them...
  20. Monklady123
    This is a total rant thread about nothing really serious, so feel free to tell me where to go. But -- okay, I've been diagnosed now about a month or so. Dh has always been supportive -- or, if not "supportive" then not negative -- about anything I do, not just celiac. So in the beginning of this diet he would say things like "oh that quiche is mostly...
  21. Monklady123
    Good idea. I'll do that next time I'm in my regular grocery store. I think I'll even ask Whole Foods if they can carry the Katz breads. They already have a pretty good selection, but variety is a good thing. (and my regular store doesn't carry any kind of gluten-free bread so Udi's there would be great.)
  22. Monklady123
    When you're at the doctor also ask about dramamine for little ones. We would not have survived my daughter's childhood without it.
  23. Monklady123
    I can't speak to particular brands, but I will say that I just had a CT scan. I had to drink three bottles (gag) of something optimistically called "banana smoothie". I'm positive it was gluten-free because I had no gluten symptoms. My general "yuck" feeling was definitely only from drinking three bottles of it. At least they were pretty small bottles...
  24. Monklady123
    Yes! I did request the free sample from Katz! Can't wait till it gets here. I agree, I'm so thankful for Udi's. The other night I served spaghetti and garlic bread to my family. I cooked Tinkyada pasta for myself, and toasted two slices of udi's with butter and garlic powder and had some yummy garlic bread.
  25. Monklady123
    I'll second (third, fourth, gazillionth?) that Udi's bread. I'm gluten only, but am going to start today with avoiding lactose also. Just from milk and icecream. Not sure I have a "typical" menu, but I might eat this: Breakfast: cereal (will be using Lactaid milk for awhile), or eggs, or a cheese wrap (corn tortilla). Sometimes just coffee...
