Made coconut-herbed pizza with cherry-tomato sauce, cayenne pepper, oregano, garlic, baby romaine and jumbo shrimp. Not bad, for a first time, but a pizza in a brownie pan is a bit sad.

Sounds great! I have had to resort to making a square pizza on occasion. or other geometric/crazy shapes. For example, the Chebe dough does not "do round" very well. Sometimes, it comes out like an octagon .........or a home plate . :D ah well, whatever we have to do to have pizza.

Dinner tonight:

Honey mustard chicken thighs with bacon and carmelized onions

Roasted herbed mixed veggies: rutabaga, brussel sprouts, turnips, carrots, leeks, garlic and whatever else is around.

Applesauce

I thought it might be fun if we had a thread where we shared what we're cooking up for dinner:) I am not an experienced cook so coming up with gluten free menus for me and my boyfriend feels like a ch

I'm having Tinkyada brown rice spaghetti-style pasta with doctored-up ready-made spaghetti sauce that I've had stashed in my freezer in single serving sizes. Yum! This time I'm trying the quick cook

A friend took me to a restaurant. I had half a bottle of Italian red wine, a small mixed greens salad, braised venison with red wine reduction, oven roasted potatoes, leafy greens, and chestnut puree. I also had flourless hazelnut-chocolate cake with whipped cream and moscato wine for dessert.

Now I am sleepy...

Love2travel, same here! First thing I did was trying to find recipes - I need to learn how to treat game, because I love game meat. I also find that game meat is, in some cases (not all), more humane than factory farm meat, which I have entirely cut out of my fare (which implies cutting out whole sections of dining institutions).

Though my finding recipes backfires: I have reverted to my old adage - "never eat at a restaurant something you can make yourself" - so that kind of makes it difficult when someone wants to take me out for dinner :) !

et tu, Ski? now, see I never liked either. I liked root beer, birch beer and cream soda. Now, I don't drink any of them The sugar makes me squirmier than a 2 year old.

Same motto here, BC. :) I always choose something I rarely cook at home. That is typically something like duck or sea bass (or more exotic fare). Hubs does not like either of those. But I do!!! yum.

I have a stupid naked tree. In a box. In my closet under my stairs.

I was supposed to make a roast last night but got around to my peanut brittle late and then... well my roast is still sitting in it's package today judging me. I have some potatoes to use up, I'm sure I'll think of something to do with them. I'm working today and there is snow and ice and ICK!! Kinda feels like a squash kind of day with maple and brown sugar to make me all warm and gooey inside.

Hey, that's good to know - I'm taking a friend out before the Messiah at Carnegie Hall, would you recommend that bistro? And are the gluten-free friendly?

No idea what to do for dinner :)

I can't do soda anymore, its just to much caffine for my stomach and GERD doesn't agree with its existance, sooo. :blink: When i did get to have soda rootbeer was a favorite along with orange soda on occasion.

Mmmm rootbeer. Hard to get here, and soda rots my guts. Can't do caffeine. Or alcohol come to to that. Its fun fun fun chez Mindwarp.

Tonight is Mr Mws works do so I totally gave in and ate with the kids their choice. Bacon eggs beans potato letters. Classy.

My son was ill and off school so we added to our already decorated tree. I think if we averaged out the tree decorating I have at least 4 of you covered. And you don't have to clean up glitter for weeks :)

We rarely eat out because I seriously can cook as well as most high-end places (excluding those such as Per Se, French Laundry, NOMA, etc.). Game is so wonderful to cook. We enjoy elk, caribou, moose, venison, quail, pheasant, wild boar, etc. And I completely understand what you are saying about humanely-raised meat/poultry as opposed to factory farmed. We thankfully have an excellent free-range farmer near where we get much of our meat - another farm raises very happy lambs. The meat is delicious!

The ONLY thing I miss about being back "home" in PA rather than out here in wonderful, dry UT is my dad and brother and their hunting. I do not miss lake effect snow. I do not miss summers so humid it is like trying to breathe soup. Oh the other hand, my brother shot 6 deer this season. My dad has brought home elk, buffalo, moose, and bear that I recall immediately. An uncle is a small game hunter and archer, although I've never been a fan of eating small furry things and never had the opportunity to eat his birds. If anyone in the family ever shoots a wild boar I may just be booking a plane ticket home.

Of course I miss our own grass fed beef too! Mmmm those are some tasty cows my family raises. I miss eating them too, just not enough to go back and breathe soup all summer long and spend all day every day sweating in the shade smelling like mosquito bait.

I can hear it screaming from here. For godsakes Addy, let it out.

snort..where are those located exactly? under your chocolately coating?

BC, I have never been there and would never recommend anything I have not personally road- tested myself :DI can recommend Craft, CraftBar or Colichio and Sons. I imagine LeBernadin can handle special requests.

Enjoy the Messiah! Here's a "Cliff Claven factoid": It was first performed in Dublin in 1742 (and before anyone asks, no, wise guys, I was not there to see it) <_< I saw it a few years later in 1788.

We got in and had a fab meal - what a luxury to have the table for the evening, wander in the herb garden, peek in the back door of the kitchen.

But it would be even more of a luxury to eat a CHEZ LOVE2TRAVEL meal :) (in Croatia :lol: )

Oh, Shroom!!!! that sounds wonderful! I did have glorious meals in Napa, so I was not complaining, honest, but we did so wish to try it.Maybe next time we are in California. (SkiLisa , get ready)

And, I felt that way at LeBernadin and Aureole and Daniel and The Mark in NYC... we got to peek in the kitchen, go into the tasting room, view the wines and have a server float a new napkin onto my lap every single time I "moved"

Yes, we all need to experience LOVE2TRAVEL CROATIA --great name for a restaurant, eh?

(cuz if'n we all go to Alberta, we have to shovel ----and the cabana boys will be chilly )

      I’m terrified it’s too late for me😭

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Cathijean90! I went 13 years from the first laboratory evidence of celiac disease onset before I was diagnosed. But there were symptoms of celiac disease many years before that like a lot of gas. The first laboratory evidence was a rejected Red Cross blood donation because of elevated liver enzymes. They assume you have hepatitis if your liver enzymes are elevated. But I was checked for all varieties of hepatitis and that wasn't it. Liver enzymes continued to slowly creep up for another 13 years and my PCP tested me for a lot of stuff and it was all negative. He ran out of ideas. By that time, iron stores were dropping as was albumin and total protein. Finally, I took it upon myself to schedule an appointment with a GI doc and the first thing he did was test me for celiac disease. I was positive of course. After three months of gluten free eating the liver enzymes were back in normal range. That was back in about 1992. Your story and mine are more typical than not. I think the average time to diagnosis from the onset of symptoms and initial investigation into causes for symptom is about 10 years. Things are improving as there is more general awareness in the medical community about celiac disease than there used to be years ago. The risk of small bowel lymphoma in the celiac population is 4x that of the general population. That's the bad news is.  The good news is, it's still pretty rare as a whole. Yes, absolutely! You can expect substantial healing even after all these years if you begin to observe a strict gluten free diet. Take heart! But I have one question. What exactly did the paperwork from 15 years ago say about your having celiac disease? Was it a test result? Was it an official diagnosis? Can you share the specifics please? If you have any celiac blood antibody test results could you post them, along with the reference ranges for each test? Did you have an endoscopy/biopsy to confirm the blood test results?

      I’m terrified it’s too late for me😭

      By Cathijean90 · Posted

      I’ve just learned that I had been diagnosed with celiac and didn’t even know. I found it on paperwork from 15 years ago. No idea how this was missed by every doctor I’ve seen after the fact. I’m sitting here in tears because I have really awful symptoms that have been pushed off for years onto other medical conditions. My teeth are now ruined from vomiting, I have horrible rashes on my hands, I’ve lost a lot of weight, I’m always in pain, I haven’t had a period in about 8-9 months. I’m so scared. I have children and I saw it can cause cancer, infertility, heart and liver problems😭 I’ve been in my room crying for the last 20minutes praying. This going untreated for so long has me feeling like I’m ruined and it’s going to take me away from my babies. I found this site googling and I don’t know really what has me posting this besides wanting to hear from others that went a long time with symptoms but still didn’t know to quit gluten. I’m quitting today, I won’t touch gluten ever again and I’m making an appointment somewhere to get checked for everything that could be damaged. Is this an automatic sentence for cancer and heart/liver damage after all these symptoms and years? Is there still a good chance that quitting gluten and being proactive from here on out that I’ll be okay? That I could still heal myself and possibly have more children? Has anyone had it left untreated for this amount of time and not had cancer, heart, fertility issues or liver problems that couldn’t be fixed? I’m sure I sound insane but my anxiety is through the roof. I don’t wanna die 😭 I don’t want something taking me from my babies. I’d gladly take anyone’s advice or hear your story of how long you had it before being diagnosed and if you’re still okay?

      diagnostic testing variance

      By trents · Posted

      Genetic testing cannot be used to diagnose celiac disease but it can be used to rule it out and also to establish the potential to develop celiac disease. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop it. To develop celiac disease when you have the genetic potential also requires some kind of trigger to turn the latent genes "on", as it were. The trigger can be a lot of things and is the big mystery component of the celiac disease puzzle at this point in time with regard to the state of our knowledge.  Your IGA serum score would seem to indicate you are not IGA deficient and your tTG-IGA score looks to be in the normal range but in the future please include the reference ranges for negative vs. positive because different labs used different reference ranges. There is no industry standard.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Since nearly 40% of the population have the genes for celiac disease, but only ~1% end up getting it, a genetic test will only tell you that it is possible that you could one day get celiac disease, it would not be able to tell whether you currently have it or not.

      so much to it.  the genetic testing will help if i don’t have it right? If theres no gene found then I definitely don’t have celiac?  I guess genetic testing, plus ruling out h.pylori, plus gluten challenge will be a good way to confirm yes or no for celiac.
