Oooh I like that one!  If you cook something that a lot of fat comes off of, like burgers, does it drain off the fat into something or a certain spot?

 

Yeah, it has a grease catcher. It isn't quite as awesome as it could be if something is SUPER greasy. But as long as things are only sort of greasy it works well. It's just a little black thing that slides in on the bottom. The trick is, and this is important, it only works if you remember to slide it in before you start cooking. Not that I have experience cooking greasy things without the grease tray or anything. :ph34r:

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

This weekend I made Gumbo for the first time, from Emeril's cook book. I used Bisquick gluten-free Mix and it made a roux just fine, although I got a bit impatient stirring and stirring....but well w

No prob! :) I had another lil recipe for bread. It had Almond Flour, egg and a sweetner or garlic, and water. You put it in a cup and microwave it. Reminded me of the 3-2-1 cake. Anyhow do you think I can find the recipe?? Nope! I loved that bread. 

I have this recipe for flax seed buns which I love love love :wub:  but flax does not love me :angry:

I wonder if I can covert this to say chick pea  flour instead of flax meal :mellow:

 

Gluten free flax seed buns

 

1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon flax meal

1 1/2 teaspoons onion powder (opt)

1 tsp caraway seeds (opt)

1/2 tsp salt

3/4 teaspoon baking powder

drop or 2 of stevia

3 eggs

1 1/2 tablespoons water

1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil

 

 

               

   

Mix the dry ingredients; add eggs, water and oil. Pour the batter into 6 greased muffin top pans. Bake at 325º 15-20 minutes. To serve, split the buns horizontally to make two halves using a long, thin knife.

Makes 6 servings

Can be frozen

Number of Servings: 6

 

I leave out the stevia

Hahahaha, you sound like me!  I checked it out online and I think I am going to get it.  The Big A has it for $80, and bed bath and beyond has it for $99 and I can use my 20% off coupon to make it the same price, so I am going to try to make it out to a BB&B this week.  I like that it folds out to a griddle, I don't have a griddle and have always wanted one but didn't want to sacrifice space.  The george foreman ones keep crapping out on me and cuisinart has a good warranty so if I use it to death maybe I won't have to buy a brand new one in a year.

 

Today for dinner I am making crock pot red beans.  Gotta go help out a family member so will get home for a late dinner and won't have to mess with it, just eat!

I feel like I've had mine maybe a year or so, so I can't speak for how well it lasts. But I've always been happy with the brand which was why I was confident buying it. The George Foreman with the removable plates is so much more expensive and I refused to waste money on one without them because they're a pita to clean. Been there, done that, never again.

 

Tonight will be baked chicken of some kind and some sort of veggie something or other with it.

Bummer! The only thing I have had burn in the crockpot was some potatoes - but just a little on the bottom. The rest were fine.

Last night we had penne with Newmans Own Marinara. I baked it in the oven with moz, Asiago, parm and Romano on top until brown. Yum!

Last night we had pork tenderloin and onions, sauteed zucchini noodles, applesauce and these teeny tiny golden potatoes

(i have never seen them that small before--they were at the produce stand we have down here--really, they look like marbles  :D )

anyhoo... I just sauteed them in butter and some white truffle oil for a few minutes and they were very yummy .

 

Not sure what's happening tonight as we are going to the ball game and I may want to just have pizza when we get home.

I smell all that food at the games and sometimes, I get a little miffed that I can't have it,

but then I think, meh...it's all fried crap anyway

and my thighs do not need it. -_- he he he

Sounds like a splendid Friday. B)

 

Things are going well for business. So I went today and bought myself a sewing machine so I can stop using my MIL's. I don't like hers and I also hate being restricted on the time of day I can sew since I'm such a night owl. Now I can sew when it suits me, even if that means it's "the middle of the night" for other people. Also stopped by the mall today to see about a kiosk there. By next summer I should be ready to do a three month stint there as long as I'm healthy enough. ^_^ For now I'll settle for being ready for the local farmers markets.

 

Dinner will be chicken quesadillas and maybe some original Star Trek all cuddled up with my husband. :wub:

Chicken tacos, mexican brown rice, refried beans. Birthday dinner for my boyfriend. I also made a Blueberry "Pancake" cake with maple butter cream frosting. I used the yellow King Arthur mix and doctored it up with cinnamon, nutmeg and blueberries. Dusted it with cinnamon sugar.

Unfortunately they were frozen and thawed blueberries and not fresh. Blueberries are just so expensive!! These taste just as good! Thanks Lisa!! I had a lot of fun baking this. Baking was a passion before diagnosis and the gluten free baking intimidated me. But I think I am starting to get excited about it again!

Not to worry...took me a while....perhaps longer than you...but my gluten-free birthday cakes are just as tasty (many times even better) as the gluten-filled ones and the love of decorating to make a gift of those cakes...well...that is the same with or without gluten ;)

Looks great! And blueberries are one of the few fruits that thaw and taste like new!

OOH babycakes--liquid dinner... ;)  whoohooo! and thanks again for the package today. I heart you, sweet girl.

By next summer I should be ready to do a three month stint there as long as I'm healthy enough. ^_^ For now I'll settle for being ready for the local farmers markets.

 

 

 

OOH babycakes!! can't tell you how thrilled I am for your new venture. whoohoo!! You can be all "SHOW me the money!! " PS Did you get what I sent yet? (or do we have to hunt down the mailman?) ...chuckling...

OOH babycakes!! you're cooking and baking and feeling  fine. whoohooo Jamie girl. I'd like a  piece of that, please. I'm droolng on the laptop here.

 

Mmmmmmm cake....

 

"What she said!!" .......mmmmmm cake....

 

Going to be an interesting week here., Painter comes back Tuesday to fix the crappy paint jobs in the guest bathroom  and master bath, too.....just before our friends come in on Wednesday..How fast can it dry and how soon can I hang a few pictures and make it look pretty one wonders...the answer better be "24 hours" :lol: If not, so be it.

As it is, we're dining off cardboard boxes as my table and chairs have not come in. ah well. c'est la vie. Good thing I am a good cook and we're good friends and they don't give a crap about such things. 

 

Dinner tonight is looking like burgers and fries (I know, not exactly healthy, but it's quick....)

I've got a boatload of shopping to do...meat market, liquor store, produce stand, Italian specialty mart, the fish market and the crazy cool place with all the G F stuff on the shelves and in the freezer....oh boy. I LOVE to cook for my peeps!!

      My bone structure is disintegrating and I’m having to have my teeth removed

      There’s a Cosco in Auckland in New Zealand. It’s a bit away from where I live but it’s worth the travel for me. Very appreciative of your advice.

      Celiac Maybe a Possibility?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      It seems you have proven that you cannot eat gluten.  You've done what your doctors have not been able to do in 40 years. That's your low vitamin D, a common symptom with Celiac Disease.  Zinc is also a common defiency.  Its an antiviral.  that's why zinc gluconate lozenges work against airborne viruses.  Vitamin D and the Immune System+ Toe cramps, I find 250 mg of Thiamine helps.   When I started GFD I counted 19 symptoms going back to childhood that improved with Gluten Free Diet and vitamin D. I still take 10,000 IU a day to maintain 80 ng/ml and get it tested 4 times a year. Highest was 93 ng/ml and that was at end of summer.  Any excess is stored in fat or excreted through bile.   The western diet is deficient in many nutrients including choline and iodine.  Thats why processed foods are fortified.  Celiac Disease causes malabsorption of vitamins and minerals from the small intestine damage.  GFD stops the damage, but you will still have symptoms of deficiency until you get your vitamins repleted to normal.  Try to reduce your omega 6:3 ratio.  The Standard American Diet is 14:1 or greater.  Healthy is 3:1.  Wheat flour is 22:1.  Potatoes are 3:1 while sweet potatoes are 14:1.  So those sweet potatos that everyone says is better than Russet: they are increasing your inflammation levels.

      Weird Symptoms

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      My mother also has celiac disease, and one of her symptoms for many years before her diagnosis was TMJ. I believe it took her many years on a gluten-free diet before this issue went away.

      Weird Symptoms

      By Jeff Platt · Posted

      Ear pain and ringing your entire life may or may not be TMJ related but could be something else. A good TMJ exam would be helpful to rule that out as a potential cause from a dentist who treats that. I have teens as well as adults of all ages who suffer from TMJ issues so it’s not a certain age when it shows up.

      Weird Symptoms

      By cristiana · Posted

      Not sure if related to coeliac disease but my ear ringing  has stepped up a notch since diagnosis.  Even since a child silence really hurts my ears - there is always a really loud noise if there is no other noise in a quiet room - but my brain has learned to filter it out.  Since diagnosis in my forties I also get a metallic ringing in my ears, sometimes just one, sometimes both.  But it comes and goes.   My sister also suffers now, we are both in our fifties, but she is not a coeliac, so for all I know it could just be an age thing.  I do get occasional stabbing pain in my ears but that has been all my life, and I do appear to be vulnerable to outer ear infections too.  So not a particularly helpful reply here, but I suppose what I am trying to say is it might be related but then again it could just be one of those things.   I think in the UK where I live doctors like you to report if you get tinnitus in just the one ear.  I reported mine but no cause was found.  Most of the time it is nothing but sometimes it can have a cause that can be treated, so perhaps worth reporting to your GP.
