    I get mine at Costco. I think it's called "Maranatha" brand.

    You hug them, cry with them and say, "I'm so sorry". I don't think that anything could be very comforting at this time. I know that they will appreciate your sympathy and tears. I'm so very sorry for them - I can't imagine losing one of my children and at this time of year too... I have tears for them.

    I would try Ener-G Foods Light Tapioca Bread. I've used it in other recipes and I think it would stand up just fine in a strata.

    I'm cooking pancakes over the fire. I love making breakfast while we're camping! I'm glad your lefse turned out. It is a LOT of work. Even if it isn't exactly the same as the gluteny version it's still yummy.

    ARCHIVED Gray Hair

    lonewolf replied to Leanna's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    I think you're addressing this to me. I saw the tests that the doctor ordered, but can't remember all of them. Vitamin D was on there - I had been deficient and have been taking large doses for the past 6-7 months. They tested several things- B12, D and other vitamins, ferritin, estrogen, and several other things. My thyroid is already tested at least...

    ARCHIVED Gray Hair

    lonewolf replied to Leanna's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    I wish this worked for me! I have just a little gray hair, but am definitely getting more. I've been fanatically gluten-free for quite a while now (as well as soy and dairy free). In October, I had a TON of blood tests to see if I had any nutritional deficiencies that could lead to thinning hair. Every test came out perfect - apparently, except for my...

    I will pray for their family and the decisions they have to make. My heart breaks for them.

    That sounds really cute! But why did you give up your tradition of making a gingerbread house? We do it gluten-free and dairy-free every year and it's great. There's not really much that needs to be done to modify the recipe. I'll try to find a picture of last year's and put it in my avatar.

    I make this recipe every year and it turns out pretty well. It doesn't keep very long, but my kids usually eat it long before it has a chance to get dried out. LEFSE 3 C riced or mashed potatoes 3 C gluten-free flour mix 5 tsp Xanthan gum (you may need even more, depending on your flour mix. If there is xanthan gum already in your mix, then adjust...

    My recipe is similar to Cruelshoes'. Russian Tea Cakes (Adapted from Betty Crocker's Cookbook) 1 C Butter or margarine, softened (but not melted) 1/2 C Powdered sugar 1 tsp. Vanilla 2 C + 2 Tbs. gluten-free flour (I use brown rice, potato starch and tapioca starch) 1 Tbs. xanthan gum (only use 1 tsp. if there's already xanthan gum in the flour...

    ARCHIVED Lunch Ideas

    lonewolf replied to frec's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Can you bring a thermos full of hot soup or chili? What about a salad with chicken, deli turkey or taco meat and salsa? I like deli turkey or chicken wrapped in lettuce leaves with a dab of mustard. I make sandwiches out of brown rice tortillas, Trader Joe's brown rice bread (toasted first) or pre-toasted Ener-G hot dog buns. For "sides" I like popcorn...

    I've eaten at Salty's in Des Moines. We called ahead and were assured that they could accomodate us. When we got there, we asked for the manager, who came out and seemed pretty knowledgable. I had a good meal and did not get sick. It was a little bland though - fish and steamed vegetables, which was fine for me, but might be boring for your son. If you...

    I've made homemade mac and cheese several times, using Tinkyada pasta and a sauce made with white rice flour. It bakes well and tastes great!
  14. lonewolf
    My normal flour mixture calls for about 1/2 tsp. of xanthan gum per cup of flour. With most cookies, it's just fine. I discovered that Russian Teacakes need a bit more because they "exploded" in the powdered sugar the first time I made them. We nicknamed them "Russian Tea Bombs". I added about 1/2 or 2/3 of a tsp. (sorry, I'm horrible about measuring...

    Welcome LuAnn! I've found that it's best to eat moderately low carb by cutting out breads and treats. When I do that, I can keep my weight down. (My problem is that I love to cook and bake and my children all love to eat and they have wonderful metabolisms so they want me to bake all the time. So if it's here, I tend to eat it.) When I'm being "good...

    I only buy natural peanut butter and they always turn out well. I just made them yesterday for a church Christmas party and put Hershey's kisses on top to make peanut blossoms. (All but 2 on the tray were eaten and there were only 3 of us who needed to eat the gluten-free cookies.)
  17. lonewolf
    I wouldn't make gluten-filled cookies either. I have 4 kids and even before any of them needed to we made our cookies gluten-free. I won't have wheat flour in the house and haven't for almost 12 years. We make sugar cookies, gingerbread people, Russian teacakes, ginger-molasses cookies, peanut blossoms and spritz cookies. All from regular recipes just...

    I use this recipe - modified from Betty Crocker. You can cut it in half pretty easily. 1 cup packed brown sugar 1/3 cup Spectrum Shortening 1 1/2 cups dark molasses 2/3 cup cold water 7 C gluten-free flour mix (Annaleise Roberts mix + xanthan gum would work great) 2 teaspoons baking soda 2 teaspoons ground ginger 1 teaspoon ground allspice...

    I make these on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day because both sides of the family really like them. They do sound weird, but they're actually really good. Cranberry Meatballs 2 lbs ground turkey 1 C gluten-free rice crispy-type cereal 1/3 C dried parsley 2 Eggs (can leave out or use flax seed for binder) 1/2 tsp. garlic powder 1/2 C ketchup (no...

    I just made these today and they worked well. I used a real egg and sugar - I hope my parenthetical directions make sense. I also stirred in some sliced almonds and sifted powdered sugar on top. Molasses Cookies 2 C Brown Rice Flour (or gluten-free flour mix) 1/2 tsp xanthan gum 1/2 tsp ginger 3/4 tsp cinnamon 1/2 tsp salt 1 Tbs Ener-G Egg Replacer...

    Party Mix 1/3 C butter or oil 2 Tbs Worcestershire sauce (Lea and Perrins in US) 1 1/2 tsp seasoned salt 1 tsp garlic powder 4-1/2 C Corn Crunch'ems 4-1/2 C Rice Crunch'ems 1 C mixed nuts 1 C Glutino or Ener-G pretzels 1 C broken rice crackers (optional) 1. Heat oven to 250

    I've never had luck with plain rice flour in a recipe (well, maybe there are one or two). Have you tried a blend of flours? I have the best results if I sift my flours together with the xanthan gum 3 times before mixing up the recipe. I use 3 C brown rice flour, 1 C Potato starch, 1/2 C tapioca starch, 2 to 2-1/2 tsp. xanthan gum and sift 3 times, then...

    We use Health Valley's Corn and Rice Crunch'ems for "chex" mix. Can't tell the difference. Instead of butter, I use oil - olive, safflower, canola or grapeseed. It works just fine in the recipe.

    I see gluten intolerance everywhere too. Something that is frustrating for me though is that all gluten intolerance isn't necessarily Celiac Disease. So, besides Enterolab, there aren't tests for people who don't have Celiac, but should still avoid gluten. My niece and nephew both have many symptoms of Celiac (gas, bloating, short stature and more) and...

    I'd like to see your recipe too. I use Spectrum Shortening all the time for cookies and pie crust and it works great.
