    Our grocery bill is higher but it is balanced out by not eating out very much at all. With our schedule now, it would be so much easier to swing by McD's or whatever 2-3 times a week (which would be between $40-$90 a week depending on which places we went). Now there are very few places that I feel safe eating (and honestly it angers me to pay $7 for a salad...

    Yum! this sounds delicious!

    It is still there Open Original Shared Link. I saw it in his wall pictures. The post was done on the 10th and he took a picture every 10 miles from Glenwood Springs to Denver airport. (ok, maybe not every 10 miles but there are a bunch of them) and that moved the post way way down on his wall. I do think someone ought to show his boss his Valentines day...

    While it is nice to get confirmation that it is not all in my head, I would like to be normal and not worry about the whole gluten-free and now dairy-free too. What has me completely confused is the gene testing. It says I have 2 copies of the DQB1-0201 and DBQ1-0302 so it that 4 genes (or maybe chromosomes) or 2 and then what is the HLA-DQ 2,3 (subtype...

    I've never seen it cooked but I haven't seen it often. I did see on a food network show ("Mexican Made Easy), she sliced them really thin and used them as tortillas on some kind of chicken veggie taco. I haven't tried that yet but I am curious. I usually just put it on a salad (the once a year that I buy it.) I would be interested in what other ideas...

    I have tried a few different flours to make a roux but I haven't yet settled on my favorite. Tapioca works but can develop a snot-like texture. Cornmeal works for gravy and such but it does have a corn-y flavor. Lately I have just been using flour blends because those are at the front of the cabinet. As for the cream of soup I have used this recipe with...

    I haven't used that mix but I did do the black bean brownies in Living Without using bean flour (garbonzo) and then another batch with sorghum. The bean flour batter smelled absolutely beyond awful. I was making a back to back batch and wouldn't have cleaned the food processor between but the bena flour batter smelled so bad, I didn't think we would be able...

    We have been using the silica cat litter (Mimi which is available only at w@lma@rt apparently) and really prefer it to any of the clay ones because of the dust issue. Well, also the litter box is in our only bathroom and the clumping litter that is tracked out of the box turns to cement if it gets wet - which happens when anyone takes a shower.

    Wow, the egg noodle-y type sound great. That is the kind we like and I would love the recipe.

    Rowena, I have a good gluten free cornbread recipe (just cornmeal no other non-gluten flours) that I have made dairy free using a variety of nondairy milks. It is a very forgiving recipe too. My craving would have to be the chicken & daumplings I used to make. I have made other recipes and they are good, just a different style of dumplings. My recipe...

    I am not super sensitive but you might try Yummy Earth, I first heard about Yummy Earth through this blog post Open Original Shared Link. She has a video on the blog post about how they make the lollipops and some other information. When I was at our local health food store, I saw some and thought I would try it (honestly not expecting them to be really...

    I do know that Hatch makes an enchilada sauce (I *think* it is the green sauce but it could be red) that has wheat listed in the ingredients. I don't know if they share equipment or not though. You could make your own roasted green chilies. Buy some anaheim chilies and blacken the skin on the grill or stove top, then remove the blackened skin. You can...

    ARCHIVED Bruising

    Christi1996 replied to Loey's topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    There is also the topical arnica which I prefer with smaller areas and with it being topical I would think it would be safer. We like the one sold by GNC that looks like hair gel (we didn't like the feel of the other one we tried but your milage may vary). It is great for sore muscles, bruising etc. Oh, and I have no affiliation with GNC other than occasionally...

    I know in the autism community those are very popular; some parents will give their child and enzyme instead of doing the gluten-free casien-free diet. I tried them and for awhile we did use them to eat whatever we want - because we didn't have the reaction with the pills. HOWEVER I recently discovered that I am still having a reaction, it just isn't as...

    When I buy mushrooms I immediately put them in a paper bag (like a sack lunch paper bag) and then chunk them in the fridge. The paper lets the mushrooms breathe enough so that they don't get slimy. If you completely forget about them (not that I have ever done that ) they just become dehydrated but are still usable in soups and stuff. I would like...

    Unfortunately after going gluten-free you are more sensitive to gluten. There also are varying levels of sensitivity, or maybe it would be varying reactions. I get inflammation in my joints and major constipation that lasts for days, my 11 year old daughter throws up and has stomach aches. We don't seem to be incredibly sensitive though which is good. ...

    You can also make instant oat packets using certified gluten-free oats. All you have to do is put part of the oats in a food processor so it is more powdery and then figure out what flavors you want. Google homemade instant oats and you should get some recipes. My kids loved them until they decided that they didn't but at 11 and 7 they are much pickier...
