I try and go to delis where they only have Boar's Head. There is a deli a couple blocks from me at work that all their cold cuts are BH, and when they make my lettuce wrap they put down a couple sheets of paper on the counter so nothing touches it. I think the guys in there all hate the me (I don't think they don't believe me that I'm not just on some crazy...

ARCHIVED Cooked Or Raw Onions
jkmunchkin replied to Lisa's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Oh yes...corn!! I mean you would think I didn't even chew the damn thing. Sometimes lettuce, but that is hit or miss, and it's usually atleast shredded on the way out. LOL! -
ARCHIVED Cooked Or Raw Onions
jkmunchkin replied to Lisa's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I don't think I've had any problems with onions, but roasted red peppers... now we're not friends. -
I noticed from that Celiac Society menu post that Burger Kind has Low Carb style burgers on their menu that they will put in a lettuce cap. I used to love Burger King burgers with lettuce, tomato, onions, ketchup and lots of pickles. I know everything else with that is ok, but does anyone know if their pickles are gluten-free?

YAY!! Tell John the rainbow cookie girl wants pizza!!!
-
I'm there I really hope John can do the pizza for us. I'm dying to try his. Maybe get a pizza for everyone to share along with our entrees (I have big eyes. You'll be rolling me out the door. LOL)!! I'm bringing a +1 (non-celiac).

ARCHIVED Worried About Going Out Of Town!
jkmunchkin replied to Lollie's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Lollie don't worry; I eat out well pretty much every day. I never bring my lunch to work, I get food at our cafeteria or a local place every day. Granted I stick to basics like salads, or grilled chicken with veggies from the salad bar... but it's still not food I made. A lot of times I think maybe I'm not as cautious as I should be, but to be honest, maybe... -
ARCHIVED Favorite "granola" Bars
jkmunchkin replied to a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I like the Envirokid Berry Bars. It's more of a chewy "granola" bar. I used to love the Nature Valley hard granola bars, but I haven't found anything like that I like. I find these are good for a quick snack. -
I would never cheat. For starters the consequences are not worth it at all, both the physical aspect of it, and also knowing what it is doing to my insides. There is no food that would be worth that to me. When I was diagnosed, I had a pity party for a couple of days and then just accepted that a gluten free diet is what my body needs. I have never even had...

ARCHIVED Best Gluten Free Cookbooks?
jkmunchkin replied to katshow's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
I have a couple of the Bette Hagman cookbooks, but I actually prefer to just use a "normal" cookbook and substitute the ingredients accordingly. -
ARCHIVED Please Recommend A G/f Pie Crust
jkmunchkin posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I'm craving spinach quiche all of a sudden. Does anyone have a pie crust they'd like to reccomend? Thanks. -
ARCHIVED Cook's Corned Beef

I know Hebrew National is safe also. -
ARCHIVED Mama's Italian Restaurant
jkmunchkin replied to jkmunchkin's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
OMG I'm starting to drool!! If you tell him one of the people is the girl with the rainbow cookies, he'll remember me. Let us know what John says about Saturday. I would love to try the pizza!! Thanks Amanda. -
ARCHIVED Gluten Free Alcohol
jkmunchkin replied to swatson's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
No wonder we get along so well.. Ketel One with 7 and lemon (or lime) for me. -
ARCHIVED Mama's Italian Restaurant
jkmunchkin replied to jkmunchkin's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
Yeah I can do a Saturday. Or should we maybe try for a Wednesday and that way we can partake in gluten-free pizza night?!!! Maybe Deb would like to join since she is in E. Islip, and I know CeliaCruz would like to join also. -
ARCHIVED Mama's Italian Restaurant
jkmunchkin replied to jkmunchkin's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
Yeah next week isn't really good for me either. I could maybe do the week after. I'd kinda prefer to do a Friday if that's ok with everyone. I know CeliaCruz wants to join also. Thoughts? I'm practically drooling at the thought of that chicken parm... Mmmmmmmmm!!! -
Wow!!! Thanks for letting us know. I knew that some people had e-mailed them and gotten responses about what was safe, but it's so much better when there is a menu on location. I feel that much safer.

ARCHIVED Ordering Gluten Free In A Restaurant
jkmunchkin replied to kari's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
Hi Kari. Thanks for your post. I actually always tip atleast 20% even prior to being diagnosed with celiac, but now I certainly go out of my way to thank my server and tip a bit extra if I feel they really went out of their way for me. If I can express my gratitude, they know their efforts were appreciated and that can only help a fellow diner, or myself... -
ARCHIVED New Mcd Statement -- Fries Are gluten-free
jkmunchkin replied to lovegrov's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
I second that!!! If you want to eat the fries, eat the fries. If you don't want to eat the fries, don't eat the fries. If you're not sure... get a milkshake while you ponder your decision. And just please don't sue!!! How much more can we possibly say about this? -
ARCHIVED Mama's Italian Restaurant
jkmunchkin replied to jkmunchkin's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
Well we stopped in Manhassett first to get Chris's brother, and then made a few more stops, but it probably would have take us a little over an hour. You definately have to go there next time you're home. Or maybe one night we can take the train out together from the city after work/school. It's a long train ride, but worth it!!! -
ARCHIVED General Tsao's Chicken

Betty Crocker is not gluten-free, but Pillsbury is. -
ARCHIVED Bbq Sauce / Steak Sauce
jkmunchkin replied to proger's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
For steak sauce I use A1 and Lea and Perrins Worchestire. For BBQ sauce I use Sweet Baby Rays. I believe Kraft is also ok, but I like Sweet Baby Rays better. Enjoy! -
ARCHIVED Mac And Cheese? Other Comfort Foods
jkmunchkin replied to sillyyak's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
I use the Tinkyada Elbow noodles and take the cheese packet from the Kraft Mac n' Cheese all the time. Tastes perfect.. It is definately one of my favorite comfort foods. If you're in NY Risotteria has incredible pizza. Looking forward to trying Mama's pizza too. Especially after the incredible chicken parmigiana I had there yesterday. I also like... -
ARCHIVED I've Died And Gone To Gluten Free Heaven
jkmunchkin posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Yesterday when I was at Mama's Italian restaurant I asked John if he could make gluten free rainbow cookies. He told me that there was a bakery in Westbury, NY that had them but couldn't remember the name, but there was a health food store in Wantagh that carries them. Well ofcourse that is exactly where we went right after we left his restaurant. I...
