Would you please let me know when you're making this again and give me directions to your house? laugh.gif

I'm going to have some leftover spinach quiche and a salad.

i don't want to o.d. the husband, so, probably next week :P just take a right at the light and go straight into night lolz

no snow here, sylvia, so leave your shovel home!!

quiche sounds like a great idea for dinner - it's been soooo hot - do you make yours with crust and if so, what recipe?

Isn't gnocchi great? I love it when I hear of people making it. It's almost embarassing how easy it is but tastes so luscious. And talk about endless possibilities! I make it often. Last week I made it with a local spicy sausage and tomato ragout.

i was amazed :) i steamed the potatoes and they came out the perfect texture. didn't have a ricer, so i smushed it through a colander lolz

i have been browsing through tomato jam recipes..... mmmmm

Hmmm...that's not exactly what my kids would have thought as being a "kids" meal. laugh.gif

I told my son last night on the phone that I was going to be ready to give them tomatoes this week...even if I eat them 3 times a day, I won't be able to use them all. And I have only one Early Girl tomato plant, which will produce until frost.

You get all that from just one plant? Amazing. We only grow four plants and they get ginormous in size. We are growing a cherry tomato, zebra (the gorgeous green), an early girl and a beefsteak this year. I imagine they will produce several hundred fruits and I cannot wait. Calabrese salad, here I come! :P

Oooh...glad you gave me those directions!!! laugh.gif

I make crustless quiche as it's so much easier. Plus my hips really don't need that crust anyway. I don't really use a recipe. You can google the basic filling ingredients, mix them together and then put them in a buttered pie pan (I use Corning Ware or glass). I did throw in a couple of tablespoons of gluten-free Bisquick. For Christmas Eve I baked it in mini-muffin tins and they were a hit.

For me the basic igredients are eggs, half-and-half, grated cheese, salt and pepper plus whatever else you want in it. I've used spinach with Swiss cheese, mushrooms with a mild cheese, Southwestern with a small can of green chiles, sliced ripe olives and Monterey Jack and cheddar cheese, bacon and Swiss cheese...you can see the possibilities are endless. And sometimes I've even had misc. dribs and drabs of cheese left that I wanted to get rid of so have used a combination of those.

The last time I made it, I froze the leftovers and just nuked the piece I had last night. It freezes well. Sometimes I've made it in mini aluminum pie tins (like the cheap pot pie size) and frozen them. This is about as close as I come to "fast food".

Yes...now I don't have enough that they could can but I will have lots more than I can eat myself. I had a different variety last year that did not do well at all so this year I went back to Early Girl and it bears prolifically until frost.

If I get too overrun, I've even in the past thrown them in a bag in the freezer (I usually cut the top off and scoop out the seeds first). When I take them out of the freezer, I can run water over them and the skin slips right off. Good to use in soups or chili.

Same here - that is a great way to keep tomatoes. We STILL have various pasta and tomatoes sauces I made from last year's tomatoes in the freezer. Oh, and a few jars of salsa.

It is so easy that way and they don't go to waste...some years I've given tomatoes to neighbors or anyone who would take them off my hands. My son and DIL's tomatoes didn't do well this year so they can have some of mine.

Tonight for dinner...a bunless hamburger and ??? and sliced tomatoes.

Copycat "Pan Pizza." I posted the recipe as a separate thread. I'm SOOOO happy with this one!! I tweaked a recipe I found online, and it made something that tasted just like I remember Pizza Hut. I wasn't even specifically going for that at the time, but it turned out REALLY well. :)

That's awesome! Pizza is one of those things that we as celiacs can really miss. I, too, enjoy making pizza, especially with the crust that I am able to roll out as opposed to spread - it brings back the enjoyment I used to have making breads/crusts. :)

Good catch! They are basically the same thing. Some people (i.e. Lidia Bastianich) calls it Calabrese; others call it Caprese. I've seen it called both in different regions in Italy, too! :P

Pork cut into cubes, dipped in egg, rolled in corn starch, and then fried in a wok until golden brown

Celery, onion, carrots, broccoli, garlic, ginger, and bean spouts sauteed with gluten-free soy sauce and rice wine vinegar

Served with white rice

I'm making pizza tonight: one is regular(with gluten) and vegetarian with corn, black olives, mushrooms, roasted red onion and green bell pepper, cheese and eggs.

-another gluten free with cheese, corn, imported ham, and eggs and

-one (for me) gluten free with roasted green pepper and red onion, corn, mushrooms, black olives, hungrian sausage and eggs.

I also made kale chips between baking pizzas and gluten-free bread.

Pizza came out very good, so I will share picture from it.

      Help with results

      By mariamccl · Posted

      Hi, 25f who recently had a endoscopy procedure to diagnose celiac disease. Mum and uncle are both diagnosed celiacs. I've had symptoms over the past year - headaches that have become debilitating and frequent, feeling faint and nauseous with high heart rate, diarrhea and constipation, anemia, and recently my periods have become almost non existent. My doctor sent me a letter yesterday saying this " biopsies from the duodenum show some very mild features that could be in keeping with celiac disease but also could be due to other causes". I am waiting on an appointment to see him in the clinic to discuss this but in the meantime I wanted to check if anyone else has experienced this? I was eating plenty of gluten before my camera test and for the past 2 weeks have completely cut it out of my diet and I'm seeing changes in my bowel movements for the first time in my life! Headaches, dizziness etc are still there but maybe it takes longer for them to go away? Any help would be so appreciated -  I feel so lost in this whole process!!

      Did your symptoms improve after going on a gluten-free diet?

      Testing

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Thank you for sharing your genetic test results and background. Your results indicate you carry one half of the DQ2 heterodimer (DQA1*05), which is associated with a very low celiac disease risk (0.05%). While most celiac patients have either DQ2 or DQ8, these genes are also present in people without celiac disease, so the test alone doesn’t confirm a diagnosis. Since you’ve been gluten-free for 10 years, traditional diagnostic methods (like endoscopy or blood tests) would not be reliable now. If an official diagnosis is important to you, consider discussing a gluten challenge with your doctor, where you reintroduce gluten for a period before testing. Alternatively, you could focus on symptom management and dietary adherence, as your gluten-free diet seems to be helping. Consulting a gastroenterologist or celiac specialist could provide further clarity.  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:

      Celiac or Addison's complications? Can someone share their experience?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      @cvz Thank you for sharing your daughter’s story. It sounds like she is managing multiple complex conditions with great care and diligence. It’s encouraging to hear that she is compliant with her gluten-free diet and that her Addison’s disease symptoms are under control. The addition of electrolytes seems like a thoughtful suggestion, especially given her fluid intake. It’s also reassuring that she hasn’t shown noticeable symptoms from accidental gluten exposure, though it’s understandable how challenging it can be to monitor for such incidents. The unexplained high lipase levels are intriguing—perhaps further investigation or consultation with a specialist could provide more clarity. Wishing you both continued strength and success in managing her health. Please keep us updated on her progress!

      Testing

      By Kj44 · Posted

      Hello I received this in a genetic lab test I requested from my provider.    The patient is positive for DQA1*05, one half of the DQ2 heterodimer. The celiac disease risk from the HLA DQA/DQB genotype is approximately 1:1842 (0.05%). This is less than the 1% risk in the general population. Allele interpretation for all loci based on IMGT/HLA database version 3.55 HLA Lab CLIA ID Number 34D0954530 Greater than 95% of celiac patients are positive for either DQ2 or DQ8 (Sollid and Thorsby, (1993) Gastroenterology 105:910-922). However these antigens may also be present in patients who do not have Celiac disease.   Some background, I have been eating gluten free for about 10 years now. I have never had an official celiac diagnosis due to endoscopy and labs tested after I had already been eating gluten free for over 1 year. I was constantly sick and told you slowly remove foods and see what effects my symptoms. I have also come to realize that I have other symptoms of celiacs and recently requested the genetic testing shown above.    I am looking to see if anyone has other recommendations for testing or just to clarify the results for me as I feel the official diagnosis could be helpful but I am not positive that it is even true for me.
