More dental work means another 2-3 days eating soft foods and liquids. I minced up some bacon and fried it up and cooked it in some cream of rice cereal and added a little maple syrup on top. It sounds weird but it really is yummy.

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

Adalaide, you hang in there, girl! I love that cream of rice cereal, too. Nice touch with the maple syrup. Hadn't tried that yet :)

Doesn't sound weird to me at all! Bacon has an affinity for sweet things such as caramel, ice cream, brownies, maple syrup, jam... It's that salty sweet thing that has people drooling! :P

I... I whined all day yesterday about our dusting of April snow and the flurries and snow squalls all day. It was right around 35ish or 40 and I bundled up in my winter coat and gloves and scarf and still was convinced I'd freeze to death on my 15 minute drive. I don't know how you tolerate it, although mac and cheese is awesome for warming the soul. I think the only thing that keeps half of us from wanting to live with you for your culinary skills is the fact that we'd all freeze to death halfway to your house! :lol:

Cold isn't easy to take, is it? I think we put up with it because we have to and we are used to it. Thankfully we do have lovely albeit short summers. Can't wait to move to Croatia!!!

Our Mac and Cheese tonight is not any ordinary Mac and Cheese - it will be unctuous and sublime. You know I couldn't just make a normal recipe... ;)

Woohoo.

My daughter showed up the other day with a small prime rib roast and a gluten free apple pie.

So the roast is now standing to finish it off and we will have roasted carrots and onions, broccoli with lemon butter and mashed potatoes with cream.

And apple pie for dessert. Can't wait!

At one of my past jobs the chef was sent a recipe and told to make it and give free samples to the customers. It was Mac and Cheese with cubes of butternut squash and dried cranberries. We all responded by says ,ewe, gross. Well it was fantastic and the customers loved it too.

I did not make it with lobster this time - that is the ultimate. This is not for the faint of heart or those who are worrying about calories at this moment. (There's always tomorrow! :P )

Caramelize 2 onions until like candy (about 30 minutes).

Make bechamel*. Heat the milk and cream and add half an onion with a couple of cloves stuck in it as well as a bay leaf. Let sit about 10 minutes.

Now comes the pancetta but you can use plain old bacon. Saute and crumble into bechamel sauce along with 1/2 cup fontina, 1/2 cup gruyere, 1/2 cup aged cheddar, 1/4 cup parmesan or asiago (none of that icky fake stuff!) and a bit of goat's cheese. Stir in most of the caramelized onions (save some for the top). Add a touch of either Dijon mustard or powdered mustard and grate a touch of nutmeg into the bechamel. Layer half the pasta into a buttered pan and pour over half the bechamel. Add the rest of the pasta and cover with the remaining bechamel and sprinkle with 1/2 cup cheddar and a bit of parmesan and remaining caramelized onion. You can add a breadcrumb topping but I did not. No need. Bake at 350 until golden and bubbly.

*Use about 1 cup of milk and cream in the sauce (or half and half) for about 8 oz of dry pasta.

For those interested in making mac and cheese outside the box (get it?) you may be interested in some of these yummy ideas...

That combo really makes sense to me. It is very balanced - you want every dish you make to be balanced. Sounds delicious! Next time I am making my mac and cheese with pureed carrot to replace some of the cheese sauce.

I was at my sister's for Easter and helping with preparations for dinner. I stirred the mac and cheese (not gluten-free), and some sauce splashed on my fingers. It was hot and I licked it off. Then I said OMG I just licked your mac & cheese off my fingers! My sister offered me Listerine.

I'm hoping that wee bit of cc doesn't get me.

Tonight will probably just be chicken and rice with baby carrots for dinner (raw since that's the only way my 2 year old wants to eat them).

Yesterday we went to my moms house and Easter dinner was completely gluten free :) We had ham, roasted potatoes, green beans, there were hardboiled eggs and I made cornbread mini muffins from the Bob's Red Mill mix and even my dad and sister who don't like cornbread loved it. For dessert we had a carrot cake from the Namaste mix that I made for my husband's birthday.

I had an intense craving for shrimp so I simply did a sweet and sour shrimp stir fry with carrots, broccoli and daikon served over vermicelli noodles.

Well, I was tired of cooking so we went out.

I snuck Tostitos into my favorite Mexican joint so I could eat the salsas (they have a shared fryer so chips are out) and guzzled two Cadillac margaritas.

In-house soft corn tortillas with a beef/bacon mix and chicken/bacon mix saut

      Why Bananas No Longer Cure Celiac Disease

      I missed this article when it was first put up. It is interesting to read, as my old neighbour who sadly passed away a few years ago was a trainee midwife during WWII. Bananas disappeared from the shops in Britain during the war, but she told me that those that did get to the UK were kept back for infants with coeliac disease. I didn't realise that...

      @GeoPeanut, milk is one of the better sources of iodine. Iodine is known to exacerbate dermatitis herpetiformis. Many people find that a low iodine diet helps them avoid dermatitis herpetiformis outbreaks. So, maybe the fact that you have limited your dairy intake of late is helping with that.

      Why Bananas No Longer Cure Celiac Disease

      I am celiac also. Dr Elaine Gotschall once stated celiac is a carbohydrate problem as well. So that was important info for me. Even fruit makes intestines upset. Therefore veggie carbs also can cause me issues. I am backing away little by little in not eating but only small amounts. gluten-free food is unhelpful. Only the manufacturer thrives on all the ...

      Celiac or Addison's complications? Can someone share their experience?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @KRipple! Sorry to hear of all your husband's health problems. I can only imagine how anxious this makes you as when our spouse suffers we hurt right along with them. Can you post the results from the Celiac blood testing for us to look at? We would need the names of the tests run, the numeric results and (this is important) the reference ranges for each test used to establish high/low/negative/positive. Different labs use different rating scales so this is why I ask for this. There aren't industry standards. Has your husband seen any improvement from eliminating gluten from his diet? If your husband had any positive results from his celiac blood antibody testing, this is likely what triggered the consult with a  GI doc for an endoscopy. During the endoscopy, the GI doc will likely biopsy the lining of the small bowel lining to check for the damage caused by celiac disease. This would be for confirmation of the results of the blood tests and is considered the gold standard of celiac disease diagnosis. But here is some difficult information I have for you. If your husband has been gluten free already for months leading up to the endoscopy/biopsy, it will likely invalidate the biopsy and result in a false negative. Starting the gluten free diet now will allow the lining of the small bowel to begin healing and if enough healing takes place before the biopsy happens, there will be no damage to see. How far out is the endoscopy scheduled for? There still may be time for your husband to go back on gluten, what we call a "gluten challenge" to ensure valid test results.

      Are they close to a drug that will help celiacs with cross contamination

      By kate g · Posted

      Ive read articles that there is stage 2 research being conducted for drugs that will limit damage to celiacs through cross contamination- how close are they to this will there be enough funding to create a mainstream drug?

      Celiac or Addison's complications? Can someone share their experience?

      By KRipple · Posted

      Hello, My husband has had issues with really bad diarreah for over nine months now. In mid November, he went to the doctor for what they thought was a bad cold, which two weeks later was diagnosed as bronchitis. A week later, in December, I had to take him back to urgent care and from there, to the emergency room cause his vitals were too low. They said he was having an Addisionan crisis and he spent five days in the ICU. Since my husband has Autoimmune Polyendocrine Syndrome Type II (type 1 diabetes, Addison's and Hashimoto's), I fought for a blood test to determine if he had Celiacs. Given the results of the test, he was told to go to a gastro for an endoscopy. It took two months to get his first appointment with the gastro. Still waiting for the endoscopy appointment. He stopped eating gluten in the hospital and has followed a gluten-free diet since. His diarreah continues to be as bad as before he stopped eating gluten. Still has a horrible cough that makes him hack. His energy is so depleted he pretty much goes to work, comes home and goes lie in bed. He is having issues regulating body temperature. He is barely eating (he's lost 20 pounds since mid-December). Body aches. Totally run down. He has been taking more prednisone lately to try to counter the symptoms.  Today, we went to his endo to discuss these things. She said to continue taking increased amount of prednisone (even though I explained that the increased dosage is only allowing him to do the bare minimum). According to the endo, this is all related to Celiacs. I am concerned because I know that both Celiacs and Addison's can have similar symptoms, but don't know if he would still be having these many symptoms (worsening, at that) related to the Celiac's after stopping gluten two months ago. If anyone in this group has a combination of Celiacs and Addison's, could you please share your experience? I am really concerned and am feeling frustrated. His primary care provider and endocrinologist don't seem to consider this serious enough to warrant prompt attention, and we'll see about the gastro.  Thanks.
