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 in and outs anywhere near where I will be traveling so far...I'm hoping my "find me gluten free" app works!!!

 

Just know that not all the reviews on FMGF are written by celiacs and true NCGS. Some "G F" peeps are willing to eat in places that have a G F menu yes, but they do not seem to question the kitchen practices, ingredients, or prep. Just be very careful, ok?  When I review, I always say "I have celiac and I found this place to be....". 

 

Speaking of dining out. After 2 days on the road and eating from the stash in the car cooler and using hotel microwaves, we enjoyed a fabulous meal at Bonefish Grill in (Bel Air, MD (filet of beef, mashed garlic potatoes, zucchini and a creme brulee on the house . The waiter, for some reason, liked me and felt I deserved it. True story!) :)

 

Last night, after reaching our first destination (Albany, NY) and visiting with friends, they took us to Joe's Crab Shack. A fellow celiac, she has dined there and had no problems whatsoever. She owns Sherry Lynn's G F bakery in Latham--the first dedicated one in the country!--and the first thing she did after hugging me was give me cookies. lol YUM!!

 

The crab, lobster, corn on the cob was fantastic. And we had a blast. For the first time in 3 nights, I slept like a baby. (hotel beds leave much to be desired). This one was pretty sweet.  ^_^

 

I see my celiac GI doc for my checkup today. Can't wait to hear him tease me with "gained some weight, hey...?" 

 

Have to "suffer through" another Bonefish meal tonight (dinner with family) so I'll likely have the Chilean Sea Bass with mango salsa, jasmine rice and asparagus and I will try to avoid the creme brulee, if possible. (not making any promises)

 

We hit the road for Mass and NH tomorrow....Ski will start singing "on the road again...." right about now.....

Thanks for all the texts. It broke up the endless monotony that is I-95. 1300 miles down, so many more to go.

Irish, I agree on the reviews issue! I actually read a review on one place where the person got regular pasta mixed in with their gluten free pasta and they just shrugged it off and kept eating. So it's good to beware of the reviews written by the fad dieters!

The next time you come Karen maybe there will be an In N Out. We have 10 now and they're opening more! Also, look up The Pie. You'll never feel better about a pizza, both safe and delicious. They're in the city, and a few other locations, I guess what you'd call a local chain. Heck, I'll come have a pizza with you! :lol:

 

Rule in my house, never make fried chicken without making enough for leftovers. Tonight will be more chicken! The recipe from the ATK book is really good, we were both quite pleased with it. (for a change) I made a little bowl of cucumber salad last night for myself. Today I think I'll just make a huge bowl. The celiac support group potluck is tomorrow night and I have leftover cucumbers from making pickles and I wasn't sure what to take but I have everything I need for a large bowl of cucumber salad so I guess that's settled. And if I make it tonight I can have some tonight. ^_^ I also have purple beans ready to pick again.

 

I need to learn how to get people to give me free creme brulee. That's some serious skills right there.

Karen's Favorite Gadget or KFKG - Karen's Favorite Kitchen gadget = crockpot

I use mine a lot and they made fun of me - until they realized the awesomeness of the Crockpot. Very good in the summer because it doesn't' heat the kitchen.

Yep...used to use it all the time when boys were on baseball and soccer teams as dinner was ready after practice or games...poor thing got rusty. Glad Karen got mine humming again!

Mine is going to have a chicken pasta casserole type deal in it tonight :)

Last night I had a NY strip steak with a baked potato and broccoli. Simple yet totally delicious. Don't know what I'm having tonight but we have chicken breast thawing and some Aidelle sausag in the fridge.

I had some chicken fajita meat and cheese in a corn tortilla and some baked zucchini.  

 

I had to eat at the cafeteria at the hospital today--I was being a guinea pig for a research study--, get down there, see the board, list gluten free meals---yay!!  Can't find them anywhere.  I finally asked one of the cooks/chef whatever, he showed me the 3 microwavable meals they had...but then went on to say that I could do a burger or chicken sandwich and they had gluten-free buns.  I asked if they cooked bread on their grill and he said they did but the chicken and hamburgers are cooked elsewhere and don't touch the grill.  He said he could toast the bun for me....unless I was Celiac and then he wouldn't do that.  So, I had a wheat bun, untoasted with chicken.  I was going to have something off the salad bar until I saw a woman using the same set of tongs for several items and thought better of that....so I got a container of cottage cheese :D.

Hey! I'm a nice person. Sometimes. Well, in public anyway. Maybe that's not entirely true. I'm nice to customer service people! Mostly because I know how hard it is.

 

Amended: I'm nice to my servers. Always be nice to servers. They can spit in your food. :lol:

Going to attempt to do chicken thighs on the rotisserie again.  I think I have it figured out what I did wrong last time :D.

I got out a container of my husband's spaghetti sauce. I have a jar in the pantry in case I'm hungry tonight. We'll see what happens. Tonight is the local support group's annual pot luck in the park. Every year I skip it and the cookie party. I'm always paranoid. What if they have a shared kitchen, what if they screw up one ingredient, what if what if what if... What if I shut off my brain for one stinkin night instead of being a paranoid freak and go have fun and just eat whatever is there since it'll all be gluten free? So I'm going, I'm gonna eat like a pig, I'm going to have fun, and I may or may not want dinner tonight. The pot luck is between the time I usually have my lunch and my dinner since our schedules are so off of normal. Someone is even bringing homemade root beer tonight. I better go pick out what to wear. B)

While looking for KFG recipes I stumbled upon sweet and spiced bacon wrapped tater tots -- inspired our dinner tonight:

 

BBQ Pork Chops

Sweet and Spicy Bacon Wrapped Sweet Potato and Butternut Squash Fries!!!

I'll throw something green together or have a kid make a salad.

 

I picked up some uncured bacon so I can have a couple fries....can. not. wait!

We got 2 toaster ovens for wedding presents back in the dark ages and never thought I would use one--we regifted them  :o .   I don't know that I would have used it as much when our kids were still home but it's just the right size for hubs and me.

I started using one when we had a tiny kitchen at a mountain cabin for one ski season...amazing how much can be done in it!

Some of the major food groups are milk, cheese (yes, they're different food groups) bacon and chocolate. So if you have milk with your muffin you're covering two food groups for supper! Sounds good to me.

 

I had SO MUCH FOOD! Talked to lots of people, made new friends. (don't remember anyone's names :ph34r:) Had a blast and generally feel awesome for letting go and enjoying myself. And people really liked my cucumber salad. Which is weird to me because it's just cucumbers... with sauce. Hey, whatever makes people happy. I enjoy it, but then I enjoyed everything I had. ^_^ It's hard not to at a potluck when you can eat ALL the food.

      My only proof

      By Mari · Posted

      I think, after reading this, that you areso traumatized by not being able yo understand what your medical advisors have been  what medical conditions are that you would like to find a group of people who also feel traumatized who would agree with you and also support you. You are on a crusade much as the way the US Cabinet  official, the Health Director of our nation is in trying to change what he considers outdated and incorrect health advisories. He does not have the education, background or experience to be in the position he occupies and is not making beneficial decisions. That man suffered a terrible trauma early in his life when his father was assonated. We see now how he developed and worked himself into a powerful position.  Unless you are willing to take some advice or  are willing to use a few of the known methods of starting on a path to better health then not many of us on this Celiac Forum will be able to join you in a continuing series of complaints about medical advisors.    I am almost 90 years old. I am strictly gluten free. I use 2 herbs to help me stay as clear minded as possible. You are not wrong in complaining about medical practitioners. You might be more effective with a clearer mind, less anger and a more comfortable life if you would just try some of the suggestions offered by our fellow celiac volunteers.

      Thus has got to STOP , medical bit believing us! I literally went through 31 years thinking it was just a food allergy as its downplayed by medical if THEY weren't the ones who diagnosed us! Im positive for HLA-DQ2 which is first celiac patient per Iran and Turkey. Here in the States especially in Cali its why do you feel that way? Why do you think your celiac? Your not eating gluten so its something else.Medical caused me depression. I thought I was safe with my former pcp for 25 years considering i thought everything I went through and going through will be available when I get fired again for health. Health not write-ups my health always come back when you're better.Im not and being tossed away at no fault to my own other than shitty genes.I was denied disability because person said he didn't know how to classify me! I said Im celiac, i have ibs, hernia, sciatica, high blood pressure, in constant pain have skin and eye issues and menopause intensified everything. With that my celiac nightmare began to reprove my disregarded disease to a bunch of clowns who think they are my careteam when they said I didn't have...I feel Im still breathing so I can fight this so no body else has to deal with this nightmare. Starting over with " new care team" and waisting more time on why I think I am when diagnosed in 1994 before food eliminated from my diet. P.s everything i went through I did write to medical board, so pretty sure I will continue to have a hard time.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.
