Just wonderin' what's on tap tonight for supper. Before celiac disease I would sit down and write out my menus for the month and now it overwhelms me to think about suppers anymore. I sat down yesterday and made a list of WF/gluten-free dinners which will help me. What are you guys having tonight? or What's your favorite gluten-free dinner?

Tonight I'm having a chicken and broccoli stir-fry made with San-J Wheat-Free tamari served with brown rice. I'm doing WW, so it's only 8 points :D

1)

Beef round steak strips browned in Earth Balance shortening with chopped onion, then continued cooking with added Imagine organic beef cooking stock and a few squirts of Bragg's amino acids.

Rounded the meal off with boiled potatoes and sauerkraut (rinsed well to remove most of the salt, simmered for a while in broth from the meat to mellow the flavor). If I could have dairy, I'd have added sour cream to the beef before serving.

2)

(This is a quickie meal.) Roasted chicken breasts from Whole Foods or Wild Oats. Glazed carrots (cut up fresh carrots cooked to soft/firm then drain and add honey and gluten-free margarine) Tossed salad with tomatoes and cucmbers.

Left over gluten-free crabcakes. Used Hol*Grain brand breadcrumbs which don't taste like much (made from rice) alone but worked great for this recipe. I prefer using gluten-free garlic crisps for breadcrumbs but I was out and I order them from TN. They are better than Pep. Farm stuffing mix.

Has anyone tried the Hol*Grain rice crackers? They have them at my WF now but I don't want to try them until I've heard something about them. I like Ener-G brand for plain crackers and Schar for a buttery one. Hol*Grain just says rice flour and water I think. Sounds pretty bland to me.

I have tried the Hol*Grain crackers. I liked them but they had a flat taste. You need to put something on them.

I made a huge bowl of freash salsa Monday and we use it on alot of things. Tonight we are having boiled shrimp, white rice, asparagus and salsa.

Thanks jennyj. I was thinking I could use them with strong cheeses when you don't want the cracker to compete with the cheese flavor. I think I'll pick some up this weekend.

Do you mind sharing your recipe for salsa? Now that I'm cooking I need recipes for practically everything.

Beef & Broccoli stirfry with rice.

If my printer had ink, I'd still do the month's worth of menus. I get the kids and we sit down and figure out our menu for the month. Then when someone complains about the meal I say I can't help it - it's on the menu. I need the printer to print the blank calendar, then we fill the meal in with pencil and tape it to the pantry door.

Sure. This recipe makes alot of it so you either have to eat it several days in a row or give some away.

I mix it all in a big That's a Bowl from tuperware in this order but the order probably doesn't matter.

I use cans of petite diced tomatoes, juice drained, so when I dice the other veggies I make them the same size.

1 yellow bell pepper diced

1 red bell pepper diced

1 green bell pepper diced

1 yellow onion diced

1 white onion diced

1 red onion diced

1 lime, cut in half squeeze juice from both halves over veggies

1-2 green jalepenos diced

1 red jalepeno diced

2 yellow banana pepper diced

3 large cans petite diced tomatoes, drained

1/2 cup white vinegar

2-3 tbs fresh, 1tbs. dried cilantro

1-2 teaspoons sugar, or 2 Equal sweetener packets

1 12-16 ounce can black beans, rinsed and coarsely chopped

1 can Green Giant mexican corn

2-3 tbs. chopped chives

1-2 tsps. salt, depending on your taste

Add all to bowl and stir. Refrigerate unused. Will usually last 3-4 days.

Tonight is my simple dinner. Chicken Caesar Salads. We use a head of romaine, chicken that is just seasoned with salt and pepper and then grilled. We use Newmans Own dressing. I am sure that there is a way to make your own dressing, but I have no recipe.

Like I said, a simple easy meal with very little cooking

I made a big pot of Ham chowder and had a Kinnikinnick English muffin with it.

Ham chowder is easy and quick to make. Basically it's potato soup with ham :P

I put water in a big pot, add a couple of Bay leaves...boil and then remove them. Add ham, chopped fairly small, onion, also chopped fairly small, potatoes diced, bite size and dehydrated parsley, shake in some garlic & pepper. Do NOT add salt, the ham is salty enough! Boil until the potatoes are well done, then put milk (I use skim) in a shaker ... if you are dairy intollerant you can use water, add potato flour, give it a good shake and add it to the chowder to thicken. It really is yummy :P:D

We had taco salad with seasoned ground turkey, avacado, tomatoes, salsa and sour cream. Usually we have chips, but I'm carb watching, one daughter is boycotting chips and the others just did without.

Last night was Mexican casserole made from scratch: hamburger, red beans, diced onions, green and red peppers, and Green Mountain salsa for the sauce - I added some cummin to it. Side dish of green beans.

Last night we had chicken Caesar salad with homemade gluten-free croutons. Tonight we're having barbecued salmon and coconut rice.

Tonight is

fried breast of chicken strips; wild rice mix with gluten-free/cf margarine + herbs + celery; peas with leeks, sliced tomatoes on spinach leaves. If I'm up to it, I'll also make chocolate pudding made with non-dairy "milk" and tapioca + coconut + nuts.

I'm making lots of this meal so it will also serve as Sunday dinner, and also some of the left-over chicken I'll cut up and make chicken salad for lunch Saturday.

Also, I have some left-over beef broth so I'll cook up some veggies, add to the broth with some potato flour and puree in the blender for a "creamed" soup.

One cooking session - a full weekend of meals!

how do you make coconut rice? Sounds interesting.

      Wholefoods 365 Organic Wheatgrass Powder

      Hi Everyone, I recently purchased this wheatgrass not realizing that it wasn’t gluten free. I had two servings before I got really sick. Abdominal cramps , diarrhea and horrible nausea. My daughter read the label and told me it wasn’t labeled gluten free. I thought this was safe because supposedly it’s healthy. I called WholeFoods and they told ...

      Black Pepper Reactions

      Yes, unfortunately I was diagnosed about 15 years ago. Some of us I guess the gut never heals and from what I've learned you can actually have a setback which is probably the stage I am at where I actually have become more sensitive to more items.

      Hi Emily! I was just diagnosed a year ago and could not touch nuts, corn (or anything with corn-based ingredients), lactose, or black pepper in the first 8 or so months. Otherwise I had a lot of abdominal discomfort, dizziness/vertigo (especially with corn and pepper) and inflammation throughout the body. I was pretty much eating plain cooked veggies...

      Irregular periods AFTER going gluten-free?

      Hi there, I am 30 and was diagnosed with celiac almost a year ago after a series of severe “unexplained” abdominal episodes. Everything is improving and I am feeling so much better overall except my cycle is worse. Has anyone else had a similar experience? I got my period as a pre-teen and my cycles have been regular for as long as I can remember: ev...

      A video with researcher William Parker about Helminthic Therapy

      You’ve touched on some big issues that really need evidence for a fuller understanding. I agree that we don’t need tuberculosis or trichinosis, and that the reduction in these and many other infections has undoubtedly contributed to the increase in longevity seen in the West in the past century. And yet some infections can actually be beneficial, as...

      Hi Everyone,   I recently purchased this wheatgrass not realizing that it wasn’t gluten free. I had two servings before I got really sick. Abdominal cramps , diarrhea and horrible nausea. My daughter read the label and told me it wasn’t labeled gluten free. I thought this was safe because supposedly it’s healthy. I called WholeFoods and they told me that they can find out more about the product and email me when it was picked and harvested. I was diagnosed back in 2019 and I really should know better! Anyone else had a reaction to wheatgrass powder?

Otherwise I had a lot of abdominal discomfort, dizziness/vertigo (especially with corn and pepper) and inflammation throughout the body. I was pretty much eating plain cooked veggies and chicken for the first few months because they were safe and reliable.  Over time, I have slowly started to tolerate some of the no-no foods, but my system is still sensitive to the pepper and has a limit to corn/lactose before symptoms occur. When you’re first diagnosed, you will likely be sensitive to a lot of other foods because your gut is healing from the damage and your body needs to reset. I find that keeping a food diary  and only slowly introducing other foods back into your diet over time is helpful. It is frustrating to feel so limited, but give it some time and patience. It can take the gut years to fully heal in many cases.

      Irregular periods AFTER going gluten-free?

      By Blue Roan · Posted

      Hi there, I am 30 and was diagnosed with celiac almost a year ago after a series of severe “unexplained” abdominal episodes. Everything is improving and I am feeling so much better overall except my cycle is worse. Has anyone else had a similar experience?  I got my period as a pre-teen and my cycles have been regular for as long as I can remember: every 21 days, lasting 5 days. My periods were heavy and I always had severe cramping at the start that subsided after the first two days.  I went gluten-free immediately when I was diagnosed in February. At first, my cycles were the same but around July, I started noticing very crazy symptoms around that time of the month: chills all over the body, severe headaches, some hot flashes, dry mouth and then cramps starting a few days earlier than usual. My cycles also started happening later and later. This time around, I’m on Day 35 and no period so far, but still cramping/abdominal pain/nausea on and off for the past week. It has been feeling like it’s about to happen any minute but nothing. I even get the pelvic contractions/pains but nothing after. I cannot sleep from all the hormonal fluctuations and chills. I can confirm I am not pregnant.  I’ve seen the endocrinologist, OBGYN, primary, and multiple gastro doctors throughout the year. No IBD ( but possible IBS), thyroid panel normal, thyroid ultrasound normal, negative for Hashimoto’s. I had a full vitamin panel and all levels normal (no anemia or vitamin B deficiency). After some testing, the gyn thinks PCOS is highly unlikely and that my body is “still adjusting” to going gluten-free. I’ve been strict gluten-free for nearly a year though.   All of my regular labs are normal and my antibodies are on a downward trend. I am really confused because more of my research points to the gluten-free diet resulting in better cycles rather than the opposite. While my cycles are not as heavy, they’re more unpredictable and uncomfortable with all these new symptoms.

      Hi Emily, What you described is very similar to what I experienced in coping with Celiacs. I think my first symptoms started when I was about 3 and I wasn't diagnosed until I was almost 70. I got along OK util I was about 30  when I began to have more problems that the Drs thought was an autoimmune problem that they couldn't identify. Then I worked in medical labs in Bolivia for 8 months and returned to the US with more problems such as sensitivities to chemicals and increasing food intolerances. I had always had canker sores in my mouth and nose but have not had any now  since I went strictly gluten free. Before I was gluten-free I became very sensitive to hot peppers and then I could not eat anything spicy such as cinnamon, turmeric or black peppers. I have not eaten any nightshades for years. No corn or soy.  My diet now is lamb stew with rice, squash, green beans, chard, kale, collards with salt. Then eggs , chard, spinach, black beans, summer squash, asparagus, rice and salt. I eat peanuts for snacks. I have been eating nuts but may have to stop. Coconut is OK but too much sugar is not.  I am very cautious about adding back foods to my diet but hope to add back small amounts of turmeric. Take care.
