Creamy risotto with apples, pears, walnuts and gorgonzola! I've been testing out Udi's pizza crusts for a flatbread option... I brush them with extra virgin olive oil and garlic and roast them in the oven. They make pretty decent dippers.

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

Last night we had lovely grilled pork chops. Lundberg mixed rice, homemade apple sauce, salad and some really soft sugar cookies I rolled in cinnamon.  They are still nice and soft and moist today!

We have a request for stew when our oldest comes to visit for Christmas!  Almost done with the Christmas baking.  I want to do some turtles using Rolo candy and gluten-free pretzels.  I'm debating about making mini cheesecakes too.  I'm running out of time so we will see.  I have to get some real food bought and prepped too.  We have one family get together this weekend and hubs volunteered to bring a lot of food....that I have to prepare....plus figure out what I can bring for me to eat since there won't be any gluten-free options.

I made some gluten-free cinnamon rolls last night--they are baking in the oven right now.  They better be good because they were a pain in the rear to make :D.  Prime rib is on the menu for Christmas Dinner today.  That has been dry aging in the fridge for a couple days now.

My sister made beef wellington for Christmas, so they took off a chunk of the whole beef filet before cooking and saved it for me.  Cooked that on my countertop grill, and she made mac n cheese with a jarred alfredo and cheddar cheese, so I brought some of my gluten-free pasta over and we got some made up in a separate baking dish for me.  She put her floury gluten hands all over the stove, so I didn't eat the green beans that were being made, but I told her to not worry, because with a double portion of steak and a double portion of mac n cheese,  I am completely happy!  Then when I got home I ate a piece of the cake I made for my own personal dessert. :)

What a great Christmas I had! While my friend cooked a turkey that I COULD eat, I decided to bring a Christmas treat for myself - baked cod. I did some white rice with broccoli and crumbled up bacon in it (yum), and I also made deviled eggs. Instead of mayo and celery I made them with sour cream and bacon. They were really really good. I also brought some of the Udi's double chocolate muffins which I cut up into bite sized pieces. They were like brownies. AND...the peanut butter blossoms were delicious! I made them with the flourless recipe - 1 cup peanut butter, 1/2 cup white sugar, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla, 1/4 teaspoon of salt. The recipe called for baking them for 7 minutes at 350 but they didn't look done so I went for 12 minutes. I think they could have cooked even longer because even after cooling they remained so soft they almost fell apart. But oh, they tasted so good. I have been off sugar but decided to cheat because it was Christmas. I ate three of them plus one "brownie".

 

And yes, this morning I had some of the arthritis pain, but it'll probably be gone again after a couple more days of no sugar. It was worth it.

yep, i do that as well :)  just don't over-do them or you will need dental work!  lolz  :)  also, those crusts are a good sub for pita bread (no pocket but you can heat them a little and fold them) when i make gyros.  you have to get inventive.   my favorite word in the kitchen is:  VOILA!  (second favorite:  presto!)  you get the idea   ^_^

 

last night was bruschetta crusted cod, roasted baby taters (evoo & rosemary) and roasted asparagus.  

 

tonight is 'oops forgot to take anything out of the freezer'  maybe i'll make mac & cheese if i get real ambitious.  i am craving *CRAVING* bbq ribs.  i'm going to try a recipe that you do in the oven, i think.  don't feel like fooling with the smoker in the winter time  <_<

I am in luck this week!  Visiting son and his dad are doing the cooking to give me a break.  Son is making his famous chili today (minus the added can of beer), and they have a turkey that's been brining. Tomorrow, brother in-law is coming with the nephews, and he's not happy about the chili.  He thought we should have the prime rib we had last year.  Sorry, but we ate the prime rib yesterday, and we aren't sharing the leftovers!   :rolleyes:

Egg salad made with sour cream instead of mayo and bacon instead of celery. Cheesey rice and broccoli. I heat the rice and broccoli, then mix the egg salad into it. Looks funny but tastes good. :)

I have been eating easy things lately, I am in a lupus flareup and it is totally kicking my butt.  Luckily my husband is very helpful doing anything physical, last weekend I wanted to make biscuits so he made up the dough for me as it is hard on my hands.  Gonna make pigs in a blanket with those little sausages and that biscuit dough this coming weekend.  (Recipe here)

 

Last night I made grilled chicken with veggies on the side, and earlier I was eating a lot of freezer meals I had made up for when I feel bad.  I freeze cooked taco meat, beef stew, random pasta type things because I know it will help me when I have my difficult health days.  Tonight I have some ham to use up, so I am just going to heat that up and have carrots and corn on the side, random things from the fridge and freezer.  Earlier this week, I tried out the Walmart brand gluten-free hamburger helper stuff, the cheesy macaroni and beef one, and it was really good.  When I first got married my husband asked me to make hamburger helper and I was shocked because I was never a fan, but I would make it sometimes and it is definitely something he likes.  The under $2 price was nice, too.  I will probably keep some in the pantry regularly and tell him to cook it when I am not feeling well.  I am slowly teaching him the ways of the kitchen so he can do my bidding  ^_^

      Confused with test results

      Wheatwacked, did you mean to say, " . . . and not eating gluten is probably the biggest mistake of our lives"?

      Confused with test results

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Hello @Dhruv, My 16 year old nephew was diagnosed two years.  That's not an easy age. This year the whole family has been diagnosed. You might consider getting yourself tested.  When my son was diagnosed his doctor suggested my wife and I should also get tested.  We declined and not eating gluten free is probably the biggest mistake of our lives. Keep up with the cricket.  My son, diagnosed in 1976 at weaning, was on a swim team since 5.  Peer pressure will be a problem with the gluten free diet but his teammates can be supportive. I think this article will help you understand the test results. Are You Confused About Your Celiac Disease Lab Results? While it may be 'silent' there are many symptoms of Celiac Disease that are mistakenly assumed to be 'growing up', or 'normal'.  They are not.  When I started gluten free diet at 63 I wrote down a list of 19 different symptoms that went away with just no gluten.  The rest was undoing vitamin and mineral malnutrition that developed over my life.

      Severe joint swelling from Celiac

      Thank you so much for this info. I won't know my levels of anything until my next appointment, but I am saving this info and will contact you if I'd like to get more detail. I'm so happy you found some real help!

      Severe joint swelling from Celiac

      By Beverage · Posted

      I also did not have the so-called typical Celiac symptoms, my main complaint was always getting sick, asthma, loss of sense of smell, and kidneys were failing. My GFR was in 40's - 50's and docs saying "Kidneys don't get better, we can only slow the decline" also "We don't do anything for kidneys until you are ready for dialysis." I was blown away, so decided to go to a naturopath who diagnosed me with Celiacs rather quickly. After the Celiac diagnosis and lots of improvement overall on gluten-free diet, kidneys came back a little, but not great like I'd hoped.  I had improvement in asthma and other issues with benfotiamine (b1), metylcobalamin (b12), and flush niacin (b3), but kidney improvement remained elusive. Ok so I'll admit I became an internet doctor and searched and read everything to get kidney function up. I happened across someone on Twitter who touts natural immunity and supplements for healing. So I tried what she recommended for CKD:  Nettle seed extract, silymarin (milk thistle), and Cordyceps mushrooms. I started at the end of April of this year, and got my kidneys checked in mid-September. In 4 1/2 months, GFR went up to 70!  All other numbers looked fantastic. I can't say it will help you, but worth investigating. I believe dosage amounts are important, so let me know if you want more information.

      What do my test results mean?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      There's different reasons why one may be seronegative. Some Seronegative Celiacs may be genetically encoded to be IgA deficient.  But, they may still make IgG antibodies, hence both IgA and IgG antibodies are tested for in the full Celiac Panel of blood tests.  Instead of IgA and IgG antibodies, some Seronegative Celiacs may make other types of antibodies, like IgM antibodies, which aren't usually tested.  Some may make antibodies, not against Gliadin, but other immunogenic peptides in wheat, barley and rye.   The immune system can respond to gluten by sending in different types of protective immune cells, which don't result in IgA production, but result in changes in the types of immune cells in the intestinal tissues may be seen.  There's also the possibility that in some seronegative Celiacs the production of antibodies in the gastrointestinal tract is so poor and limited in number that sufficient antibodies don't get into the bloodstream where they can be measured.  Chronic Inflammation and Villous Atrophy may result in anemia and thiamine deficiency that can result in poor antibody production.  However, healing of the intestinal lining and villi may restore the ability to produce IgA and IgG antibodies.  They may test positive on serology at a future time. I believe I'm of the last group.  I know at one point my doctor said I had high antibody levels, but the doctor refused to do further testing for specific antibodies found in Celiac Disease.  He laughed at me for suggesting Celiac because I was not the "Classic Celiac", all skin and bones, wasting away from malnutrition.  I was obese, bloated, and prediabetic, all symptomatic of Thiamine deficiency (High Calorie Malnutrition), and also Celiac Disease.  By the time I found a new doctor who would test for Celiac antibodies, my health was so poor from nutritional deficiencies and intestinal damage, I wasn't producing antibodies.  I was seronegative.  I was dismissed as being a hypochondriac, a mental case.  They did not connect my mental health issues with nutritional deficiencies (Wernicke's Encephalopathy, Pellagra, B12 Deficiency Dementia, Scurvy).  Will I undergo a gluten challenge to test for tTg IgA antibodies?  Absolutely not.  I have two genes for Celiac Disease and improvement on a gluten free diet.  That's plenty enough for me.   Interesting Reading: Seronegative Celiac Disease and Immunoglobulin Deficiency: Where to Look in the Submerged Iceberg? https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4586545/ Clinical profile of patients with seronegative celiac disease https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10404820/
