That is so cool, Alex, she's learning how to read, how to cook, and she's a mere five years old. :)

Thanks! She is in the kitchen with us all the time. We are really big on cooking in our family, my husband and I both love to cook and I was on my way to culinary school before we started our family.

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

It turned out that I am not the one making the cake tonight, my 5 year old wanted to try and read the recipe and make it for her daddy. I think it's kind of funny that she is learning to read by reading recipes.

That is awesome that she is doing that--- and that you guys are encouraging her to do so!! I wish I had been more involved in cooking when I was a kid.

Tonight I had-

GlutenFreeda beef & potato burrito, w/ cheese on top, and dipped it all in catsup :), and some brocooli & cualiflour, again with cheese :)

Italian style fish with pasta. It's a very quick dish with a simple tomato-and-herb-sauce.

You cook gluten-free penne, put a slice of baked panga fillet on top of it and cover it with stir-fried Italian vegetables in a tomato sauce. Dinner in 15 minutes :)

She did really well on the cake :) She was so proud that she made it (mostly) by herself for her daddy and that she had even come up with the egg substitution by herself. The best part was that even with no eggs it solidified for her and had the consistency of pumpkin pie.

I actually DID think of you while I was making it as I know you can no longer have it! :angry:

The reason I made it today yet again is because my husband loves taking it to work for lunches. He loves creamy soups, especially in winter.

I actually made myself a cup-of-soup (Maggi creamy chicken) that was gluten free for lunch today because it was raining. And it was goooood!

My DP came home tonight, and it was a 3 1/2 hour (roundtrip) drive to collect him from the airport. I made corned beef brisket with potatoes, carrots and onion in the crock pot.

He hadn't had anything since breakfast (and that was a donut and coffee), so he was thrilled with dinner (and being home, first decent meal he'd had other than hospital or fast food. We had toasted cheese breadsticks too (separate thread I started regarding Chebes)

He said he'd love having that meal every week, I'm thinkining once a month would be okay. B)

DP smoked a picnic ham today. It was on sale for $1.07 per pound. This cut of meat is frequently on sale because it isn't a popular cut of meat. You can slow cook, pressure cook or bake it. DP loves to smoke while the football games are on.

We didn't use a rub or sauce, just rubbed salt and pepper on it last night after scoring the fat layer and rinsing it in organic apple cider vinegar.

So dinner was pulled pork with carmelized onions on homemade buns, mashed potatos and homemade applesauce. I made salad but never got around to that.

It was possibly the most delicious meal I've had since going gluten-free.

Can't wait to make the bean or pea soup with the bone. And I have cracklin to make corn bread, just need to find a gluten-free recipe! I'm still a wee leery of corn, but if you have cracklin... :D you just must make cracklin corn bread.

(There goes my beautiful cholesterol level!) :lol:

Tonight I eat alone, because my boyfriend has a midwinter celebration. His games club will play boardgames from sun down today (4:30 pm) to sun up tomorrow (8:30 am).

This is one of the rare occasions that I'll eat a microwave dinner. I'm having kale stamppot with rookworst today.

Yum, sounds delicious!

After Christmas I'm cooking a light meal tonight. Baked rice with egg and leek and chicken satay.

Yesterday we celebrated Christmas at my boyfriend's parents. We used a table grill yesterday. We had all kinds of veggies, fresh meat, chicken and fish which you could grill for youself. It was fun, delicious and gluten-free! I can't express how grateful I am that they understand my diet and are so supportive :D

That is awesome! Communal grilling is a lot of fun. Both mine and my husband's family are so understanding like yours - it makes a tremendous difference to have all that support.

Some leftover Chinese take-away from yesterday: chop suey with beef and white rice. Very mysterious: everytime I can't cook there's fast food on the table. You'd almost think my BF doesn't like to cook :P

I'm quite happy with our local chinese restaurant: they know exactly what's gluten-free. When I asked about gluten-free dishes they gave me the menu and underlined everything I could eat. The waitress also said I couldn't have their curry soup, because it contained coconut. I was surprised and said that coconut is gluten-free. She then told me that their dried coconut has flour in it to prevent it from sticking. Now that's someone who's well-informed :D I've given them a very good recommendation in the Dutch gluten-free restaurant database.

      Passing out

      By cristiana · Posted

      At the time of the one awful, substantial glutening I experienced a few years ago, I felt very near to passing out.  I think if I hadn't been able to lie down, I might have.   As a child I was prone to fainting, and was told then how to avoid it, by putting my head between my knees, or lying down.  So now, if I feel things going grey that is what I do and I've never fainted since.  But I felt so unwell when I was glutened on that one occasion with chills and cold sweats, waves of nausea, etc, and amongst it all I remember thinking that my heartbeat was also 'all over the place', so much so I might end up in hospital.  Until I was actually sick, then I began to feel a lot better.   I felt well initially after eating gluten, the symptoms hit like a wall about 1 1/2 to 2 hours later, and then when I was sick, they quickly subsided.  I could not believe how violently I reacted.

      Welcome @Mary Em, Vitamin D plays an essential role in producing serotonin and minimizing oxidative stress, both of which can affect the migraine brain. Low vitamin D levels may contribute to migraine.  42% of Americans are deficient in vitamin D, 60% of UK adults and up to 75% northern Canadians are deficient in vitamin D.  Virtually all Celiac Disease sufferers are vitamin D deficient. I have been taking 10,000 IU of vitamin D daily since 2015.  In 2019 my 25(OH)D blood test was 47 ng/ml.  Another two years to get up to 80 ng/ml (equal to 200 nmol/L) the normal homeostasis level, where it stays as long as I continue taking oral vitamin D.   Thiamine (vitamin B1) has been associated with a lower risk of migraine. You might start by taking significant amounts of vitamin D and Thiamin supplemental to increase your levels.  If available to you there are blood tests that will give you a baseline.  Worth checking out. Just eating a gluten free diet does stop the ongoing damage that gluten causes, but it does not replenish the vitamin and mineral malnutrition caused by years of undiagnosed Celiac Disease caused by malabsorption and food avoidance. I also take: Morning 6am or waking. Clonidine 0.1 mg every 6 hours (Blood pressure) Vitamin D 10,000 IU (250 mcg) DHEA 100 mg   Midmorning 500 mcg Iodine 10 drops of Liquid Iodine   Once a day, midafternoon B1 Thiamin 250 mg B2 Riboflavin 100 mg B3 Nicotinic Acid 500 mg B5 Pantothenice Acid 500 mg Vitamin C 500 mg Selenium twice a week 200 mcg

      I have a few times but I have other health problems made worse by the reaction. The main one being a migraine disorder, so really it was the migraine that knocked me out not the gluten. The gluten just set off everything.

      What do my test results mean?

      By jmiller93 · Posted

      I’m have a vitamin D deficiency. I’m still waiting on a qualitative fat test to see if I have malabsorption.

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @jmiller93, Some of us are seronegative and don't test positive on tTg IgA tests.  Anemia, diabetes, and Thiamine deficiency can cause false negatives on Celiac panels.  Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Iron? Thiamine?  Vitamin B12?  Vitamin D?  Only one Celiac markers is needed to develop the active disease.   I agree a gluten free diet trial is worth a try.
