Comfort Foods...

I was wanting a yummy comfort food the other night and tried this recipe and it was fabulous. Sorry to those of you who are allergic to milk and eggs... I have no idea how this would do with substitutions.

Rice Custard

1 c. rice

2 c. milk

3 eggs

2/3/ c sugar

1 tsp. cinnamon

1 tsp. vanilla

1/2 tsp. nutmeg

2 T. melted butter

1/2 c. raisins (optional)

Mix all together. Bake in a 8x8 pan. Set pan in a pan of water and bake 25-30 minutes.

[There was no temp. on the recipe, it is an old church cookbook, but I baked it at 350]

I added more rice and not enough sugar and I think that I should have just stuck with the recipe. It was still good though, but I am excited to make it again and do it the "right" way :).

That sounds yummy. By the way what temperature do you cook it at? it is a bit like a flaked rice recipe I make

Bring 600mls (1 pint) of milk to the boil

Add 1 cup flaked rice, 2tbsp sugar 1/4 tsp salt.

Boil for three minutes

Add 2 beaten eggs and 1/4 tsp vanilla essence.

Stir.

Nice for breakfast lunch and dessert.

My mum used to make a rice dessert in the oven, but from what I remember it was slowly cooked and it was quite creamy in the end, because of the slow cooking. Mmm yummy. Thanks for the memories.

For those that are lactose intolerant, the could use a lactose free milk.

Sorry about that, I forgot that there was no temp. on the recipe.

Where do you get flaked rice? The only thing I can think of is baby cereal...

I would like to know what the Almond Chocolate Breeze drink is and where do you get it? Is it like a hot chocolate?

Yes, it can be like hot choclate. You can have it cold or warmed in the microwave. I like both :)

It's extra delicious with a few drops of peppermint extract. My kids all love it - even the 3 who have no problems with dairy.

Soy milk (NOT low fat, tho) works well to replace the milk.

Flaked rice is like flaked rice. Being flaked it cooks quicker

I don't know if you can get it in the US, but we can get it over here if you know where to look. Most supermarkets have it in their flour section.

Here's a great comfort food recipe. It's adapted from a recipe posted on allrecipes.com called Potato Soup IV by Tonya Jacobs.

INGREDIENTS

* 2 tablespoons margarine

* 1/4 thinly sliced baby carrots

* 1/2 cup chopped onion

* 7 cups peeled and diced potatoes

* 1 Tbsp extra finely chopped garlic

* 4 cups chicken broth (I used Herb-ox boullion w/ water)

* 4 cups milk

* 1 1/2 teaspoons salt

* 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

* 1 tablespoon cornstarch

* 1/4 cup water

* 2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese

* 1 12.5 oz can cooked chicken (drained)

DIRECTIONS

1. In large saucepan, heat butter or margarine over medium heat. Add celery and onions; cook and stir until tender.

2. Add potatoes and broth, and simmer until tender.

3. Stir in milk, and season with salt and pepper. Dissolve cornstarch in 1/4 cup water, and slowly stir into soup. Bring to a boil for 1 minute, and then turn heat to medium-low. Stir in 2 cups cheese and drained chicken, and continue stirring until it melts. Serve.

Monthly, <_< , I require several kinkinik chocolate cupcakes with chocolate frosting. I am not ok until I have two with a cup of coffee that has three scoops of sugar. It cures my worst moods at that time of the month!

      Neither of them were anemic 6 months after the Celiac diagnosis. His other vitamin levels (d, B12) were never low. My daughters levels were normal after the first 6 months. Is the thiamine test just called thiamine?

      Thank you! That's helpful. My kids eat very little processed food. Tons of fruit, vegetables, cheese, eggs and occasional red meat. We do a lot of rice and bean bowls, stir fry, etc. Do you think with all the fruits and vegetables they need a vitamin supplement? I feel like their diet is pretty healthy and balanced with very limited processed food....

      Anti-endomysial Antibody (EMA) Testing

      That is interesting, and it's the first time I heard about the umbilical cord beings used for that test. Thanks for sharing!

      Blood tests for thiamine are unreliable.  The nutrients from your food get absorbed into the bloodstream and travel around the body.  So, a steak dinner can falsely raise thiamine blood levels in the following days.  Besides, thiamine is utilized inside cells where stores of thiamine are impossible to measure. A better test to ask for is the Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test.  But even that test has been questioned as to accuracy.  It is expensive and takes time to do.   Because of the discrepancies with thiamine tests and urgency with correcting thiamine deficiency, the World Health Organization recommends giving thiamine for several weeks and looking for health improvement.  Thiamine is water soluble, safe and nontoxic even in high doses.   Many doctors are not given sufficient education in nutrition and deficiency symptoms, and may not be familiar with how often they occur in Celiac disease.  B12 and Vitamin D can be stored for as long as a year in the liver, so not having deficiencies in these two vitamins is not a good indicator of the status of the other seven water soluble B vitamins.  It is possible to have deficiency symptoms BEFORE there's changes in the blood levels.   Ask your doctor about Benfotiamine, a form of thiamine that is better absorbed than Thiamine Mononitrate.  Thiamine Mononitrate is used in many vitamins because it is shelf-stable, a form of thiamine that won't break down sitting around on a store shelf.  This form is difficult for the body to turn into a usable form.  Only thirty percent is absorbed in the intestine, and less is actually used.   Thiamine interacts with all of the other B vitamins, so they should all be supplemented together.  Magnesium is needed to make life sustaining enzymes with thiamine, so a magnesium supplement should be added if magnesium levels are low.   Thiamine is water soluble, safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  There's no harm in trying.

      Yes, I do think they need a Thiamine supplement at least. Especially since they eat red meat only occasionally. Most fruits and vegetables are not good sources of Thiamine.  Legumes (beans) do contain thiamine.  Fruits and veggies do have some of the other B vitamins, but thiamine B 1 and  Cobalamine B12 are mostly found in meats.  Meat, especially organ meats like liver, are the best sources of Thiamine, B12, and the six other B vitamins and important minerals like iron.   Thiamine has antibacterial and antiviral properties.  Thiamine is important to our immune systems.  We need more thiamine when we're physically ill or injured, when we're under stress emotionally, and when we exercise, especially outside in hot weather.  We need thiamine and other B vitamins like Niacin B 3 to keep our gastrointestinal tract healthy.  We can't store thiamine for very long.  We can get low in thiamine within three days.  Symptoms can appear suddenly when a high carbohydrate diet is consumed.  (Rice and beans are high in carbohydrates.)  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so symptoms can wax and wane depending on what one eats.  The earliest symptoms like fatigue and anxiety are easily contributed to other things or life events and dismissed.   Correcting nutritional deficiencies needs to be done quickly, especially in children, so their growth isn't stunted.  Nutritional deficiencies can affect intelligence.  Vitamin D deficiency can cause short stature and poor bone formation.   Is your son taking anything for the anemia?  Is the anemia caused by B12 or iron deficiency?

      Thank you! That's helpful. My kids eat very little processed food. Tons of fruit, vegetables, cheese, eggs and occasional red meat. We do a lot of rice and bean bowls, stir fry, etc.  Do you think with all the fruits and vegetables they need a vitamin supplement? I feel like their diet is pretty healthy and balanced with very limited processed food. The only processed food they eat regularly is a bowl of Cheerios here and there.  Could shaking legs be a symptom of just a one-time gluten exposure? I guess there's no way to know for sure if they're getting absolutely zero exposure because they do go to school a couple times a week. We do homeschool but my son does a shared school 2x a week and my daughter does a morning Pre-K 3 x a week.  At home our entire house is strictly gluten free and it is extremely rare for us to eat out. If we eat at someone else's house I usually just bring their food. When we have play dates we bring all the snacks, etc. I try to be really careful since they're still growing. They also, of course, catch kids viruses all the time so I  want to make sure I know whether they're just sick or they've had gluten. It can be pretty confusing when they're pretty young to even be explaining their symptoms!
