It's my turn to host Bunco and I need some ideas for some goodies. I'll have nuts and chocolate. I think I'll make Cocoa Pebbles rice crispie treats. I need some salt. Any ideas are appreciated. This will be a gluten-free bunco and I think some of the ladies are wondering what I eat so I need some good ideas to show them how normal I am! :P

For salty . . . popcorn or home made chex mix

My elderly aunt calls it "the bongo". How about chips, salsa, guacamole, trader joe's brownies, cheese and gluten-free crackers?

How about Buffalo dip

1 8oz cream cheese

1/2 C buffalo sauce

1/2 C Blue cheese dressing ( I use Lighthouse brand light blue cheese) its refrigerated

2 Chicken breast cut up

3 stalks celery

mix all and bake 375 till hot and bubbly, it firms up as it cools

serve with Frito's,

taco dip is good

stuffed potato bites

gluten free crackers with cheese or salsa

Great ideas everone. I'll have hubby make the guacomole and chips and salsa are always good.

WendyG, in the Buffalo dip, what is Buffalo sauce? I have never heard of this. The dip sounds good though. Is Buffalo sauce a brand name? Think I can sub ranch dip for the blue cheese? Ooh, rotel dip is good too. I haven't had that in a long time.

Darn 210, what do you use for the corn chex? I haven't made this since going gluten-free.

These are all such great snacks. I think they are afraid of what I'll make since I never eat anything when I'm at someone else's house.

Here's all the name brands that I use:

Rice Chex

Health Vally Corn Crunchems (Look just like corn chex)

Glutino Pretzels

Lea & Perrins Worcestershire Sauce

Lawry's Season Salt

McCormicks' onion powder & garlic powder

The first time I made gluten-free chex mix for my daughter she asked . . . "Are you sure you can actually make that at home" (Yes, she was use to store-bought) . . . and I answered . . . "When I was your age, that was the only way you could even get chex mix" . . . She was stunned!! :lol::lol:

Hi, usually use Crystal's hot sauce but Franks looks safe too. I am sure you could sub the ranch for blue cheese. The light house brand is gluten-free and I think it adds a great flavor! its really yummy I bring it everywhere.

Open Original Shared Linkis what I was thinking when I saw Bufalo sauce. I used to LOVE the Chipolte but I don't know that it's gluten-free. It's a Hormel product and it's not on their gluten-free list.

Thanks for the recipes and the brand names! I always loved that chex mix - I think I could get addicted to it.

      In case you decide to go the route of a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood test or biopsy: Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Do I really need to get a biopsy?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Kosher salt is not usually iodized. Shortly after starting GFD in 2014, I realized I wasn't getting enough iodine.  Growing up in the 50's and 60's we ate bread that used iodine as a dough modifier so each slice had about 100 mcg of iodine.  A sandwich and glass of milk supplied 300 mcg a day.  In the 70's they stopped using iodine as a conditioner in the US.  Then everyone got scared of milk.  The US intake of iodine dropped 50% since 1974.  Prescriptions of Thyroxine for hypothyroid disease doubled in the same period.  I tried using iodized salt and seaweed and took an expensive thyroid supplement but it wasn't enough.  In 2014 I had a sebaceous cyst (third eye blind).  The previous 6 cysts on my face had all drained and healed with no problem back in the 1990,s.  One on my check had sugically removed. They are genetic from my mom and my brother and son also get them in the same places.  This one I did not have surgery for because I wanted a bellweather to moniter healing.  It did not start healing until I started until 10 years when I started taking 600 mcg of Liquid Iodine a year ago Nov 2023. Lot's of comment about how it was offputting and maybe cancer, it was deep, down to the bone, but I can be obstenant.  Now it is scabbing over and healing normally.  Vision is returning to my right eye (glucoma), musle tone in my chest was the first sign of improvement.  For healing, iodine breaks down defective and aging cells to make room for new growth. I take Liquid Iodine drops from Pipingrock.com but there is also Strong Iodine and Lugols Solution. 50 mcg/drop a dropper full is 12 drops, 600 mcg.,  usually I put it in a can of Red Bull, My brother, son and his family also started taking it. https://www.pipingrock.com/iodine/liquid-iodine-2-fl-oz-59-ml-dropper-bottle-14690 390 drops for $8.  They ship internationally if you can't find it locally. It the US the Safe Tolerable Upper Limit is 1000 mcg a day.  In Japan it is 3000 mcg a day.  The Japanese traditional diet has 50% less breast cancer, nicer hair, skin and nails, and in the 80's the US educational system dropped down comared to the rest of the world while Japanese kids moved up to the top.  Low iodine affects brain fog. According to most education rankings, Japan generally has a higher education rating than the United States, with Japan often ranking within the top 10 globally while the US usually places slightly lower.  In the 1960s, the United States was near the top of the world for education, especially for young people.  About why iodine was removed from medicint: The Wolff-Chaikoff Effect: Crying Wolf? About why over 40% of us are vitamin D deficient: Mayo Proceedings,  Vitamin D Is Not as Toxic as Was Once Thought:

      Does High DGP IGA Typically Mean Celiac?

      By trents · Posted

      Current "gluten challenge" recommendations are the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) daily leading up to the day of the biopsy.

      Thank you for your input!  I would really like to know if I have celiac disease because you need make sure you are not getting any cross contamination due to cancer concerns.  I guess I need to start with a knowledgeable Gastroenterologist. Thank you again!
