    I found trout on sale today at the store. I have missed fish these past few weeks so I am very excited. I'll probably just fry it up on the stove. I think maybe some sort of potato with it and some fried green beans too. My peppermint cocoa pebble treats are awesome! I don't think they'll survive long.

    I always keep lard in my house! Mostly I use it for pie crusts, but sometimes for other things to. I generally use it as a shortening substitute, never thought of using it as a butter sub. MMmmmmmmm..... LARD!!!!! Good stuff!

    I use a two column Microsoft Word table. I enter a header in bold with the date each day. After that, on the left I keep track of the time (I do not eat on a regular schedule, I also snack) and on the right which is a far wider column I list what I ate. If it isn't a whole food, I list ingredients. I include every medication, prescription and otherwise that...

    As stated, many things are out there that are gluten free without a label. There are some things labeled gluten free that I refuse to buy, such as water. OF COURSE water is gluten free! If you are cleaning with these because it is your preferred method, I see no reason you shouldn't do whatever makes you happy with those products. Including eating them. No...

    I don't know if you are religious at all, but if it weren't for church I don't think I would have made a single friend. Although not as long, I found myself in a similar situation where I got terribly ill very shortly after moving and with not enough time to really make connections. Now that I feel like I can have a life, it is just AWKWARD to go around showing...

    I'm not really familiar with how insulin resistance effects you, but my husband is a type 1 diabetic. I realize that this is far different than people who can manage with diet, even a little, or with pretty much any other type of similar issues, but it does make me very aware of what he eats. For a time he was gluten free (and it looks like he will be again...

    I can eat some, but not all corn chips. I can't eat popcorn. I can eat corn, as a vegetable, as in on a cob, steamed, what have you. I can eat Mission tortillas and chips. Some random products with corn just don't agree with me. I don't know what it is, but apparently corn and I have some weird sort of messed up relationship. Not that I have the drive, desire...

    Because there are two separate issues you can have with dairy, I'll throw this out there too in case it is something you'd be interested in. And because you said you love butter so much! There are the lactose issues, and the casein issues. If it is a lactose issue, some people can consume raw, unpasteurized milk because the lactase is destroyed during the...

    My husband and I have had much discussion about the holidays. My family always had large gatherings that lasted many hours and generally had half the men dozing in food comas while the other half went off to do whatever it is men do on a holiday on a farm. The women would gather in the kitchen and just be women. In the past four years since getting married...

    I don't generally shop at Target, and am not familiar with the practices of their facilities because of this. I am assuming you read the ingredient list to be sure they don't contain any gluten ingredients before eating them? The only way to find out if there could be a CC issue would be to contact the company via the phone number on the bag/box. An alternative...

    Today I made queso fresco. Chicken tacos and fried cheese for supper. The waiting is killing me!!! I didn't get around to the cheese until this afternoon and it is just about time to go check on it again. I think I may just unwrap that cheesecloth and get into it anyway. I also made some fresh butter again. This time I'm using the butter with some peppermint...

    Take all the time you need for that. And if 10 months in you have a perfect handle on everything and IHOP puts a commercial on TV for red velvet waffles (red velvet is my favorite thing in the world after giraffes) and suddenly you're mad at the world and crying again, that's okay. Every once in a while it'll creep up on me, I just get it out all at once...

    I think it is so important to preserve individual stories. Things like WWII aren't just wars in history books. They are things that happened that shaped probably every one of our individual lives. We should all be so lucky to know the part our family and ancestors played in shaping the world. I suppose maybe you view war differently when your grandfather...

    My diagnosis was a complete surprise. I didn't even know I had had a biopsy until I got a call with the results. No, I didn't know what celiac was before that and many people don't. I don't expect people to know what it is. I don't have a problem explaining it either, or with general ignorance. It is the insensitivity that bothers me. "I'd just kill myself...

    Just because you aren't paranoid, doesn't mean they aren't watching you. Just sayin' is all. Ok, seriously though. She's right. The paranoia is optional. Mine is only because I share a kitchen with my mother in law who will not stop TOUCHING MY STUFF OMG!!! Okay, I'm done. If it weren't for that, if I shared a kitchen with anyone else who even understand...

    Because I didn't pay attention as a girl, but I know he shared his story many times with many people I was able to find it online. Sure this focuses more on his CCC service, but it covers his military service as well. The man interviewed, Fred Carr, is my grandfather. I may have married twice and changed my name both times, but I'm a Carr girl. I'll always...

    I think I'm in love with her. I also think I need to make those apple bacon sweet potato cakes. I suppose any old flour will do since nuts make me blind. I don't have a scrap of bacon in this house. I guess I need to go shopping tomorrow.

    We got about half a foot here in Utah, and that is down in the valley in the city. So I imagine up in the mountains they had a foot or more. I guess it was Friday when we got it, a little leftovers yesterday and this morning still. Hope you make it home safe! I feel a little guilty, I kinda ordered up this snow. We desperately need a good snowy winter to...

    My family is very, VERY large. I have over a dozen active military members between all of my cousins. All of whom I am grateful for. I pray every day for the ones overseas, hoping they will come home to their family again. I also have a lot of retired military. My dad's dad is a WWII veteran. I couldn't be more proud. He fought in the battle of the bulge...

    With a statement like that, simply refusing to give information, if they have anything at all with wheat in it, I would suspect CC. I expect the whole liability statement thing from companies and all that, and it has never bothered me, but the wording on this one just rubs me the wrong way. To me it reads as "Hi. You have celiac? We don't want you as a customer...

    I picked up a ginormous bag of mini peppers at Costco. I'm thinking about making half of them into little baby stuffed pepper bites. I don't know what my husband will eat. He has a very serious aversion to vegetables. Also making butter today, as I used up all I had last night on my arepas. (The beans are a no go for now, I woke up half blind. Oh well, who...

    They're both right. Sure, I'm probably paranoid. I share my kitchen with gluten eaters. My paranoia extends only to kitchen cleanliness before I begin cooking. Life is what it is, I have almost certainly lived with this disease my entire life and therefore was undiagnosed for just over 30 years. I'm still here. There is nothing I can do about those lost ...

    The cost isn't so bad. I thought at first that the cost would kill me. Then I just stopped buying "gluten free" foods. You don't need bread, crackers and all that junk, because it is JUNK! Eat fruits, vegetables, meats and gluten free grains like rice. Once I realized I can change the way I eat entirely, and do it almost with no effort, it changed everything...

    BAKING!!! What we clearly need is a good recipe for molasses cookies. Honey, do you really need to eat 4 cookies every morning for breakfast? Yes. That is how many it takes to get as much molasses as I need every day. Be a dear and warm up the car, we need to buy me new pants.

    My diagnosis was a surprise as well. I had my gallbladder out and the following day had to have an endoscopy to remove a stone that was stuck. I didn't even know a biopsy had been done. A week after I was released from the hospital I got a phone call saying they had my biopsy results. Biopsy? What? Cancer? I'm dying? No no, they assured me, it's just celiac...
