Incredibly delicious Welsh Rarebit. For those of you who are unfamiliar, it is basically thick toast covered with a mixture of cream, eggs and cheese that is melted on top until ooey gooey. Then it is drizzled with Worcestershire. First I will spread the bread with bacon jam to kick up the flavour even more. Traditionally it contains Guiness.

You know you love me. ^_^

Dirty rice (white rice and sausage), a cup of chicken broth, homemade pickles. It's not much, but it's totally safe for me to eat. Later I'll have a coconut Zing bar. :)

I have a hankering for a Monte Cristo today.

jsprenkle Newbie

Creamy chicken soup and a bagel with cream cheese.

Where do you find the soup & bagels that are gluten free? I am new to this & am diagnosed as allergic to all of it. Any suggestions are appreciated.

I almost panicked. I got to my fridge and was all set to make a sandwich and there was NO MAYO! I quickly chilled out, remembering I have a recipe stashed, whipped some up in a few minutes and was stuffing my face with a Lebanon bologna sandwich in no time. Yup, homemade mayo for a bologna sandwich.

I don't buy soup, I make it. You'll find recipes all over the internet. Just decide what kind of soup makes you happy and you can almost certainly find a recipe for it. (Unless it is barley soup, then you're just outta luck.) As for bagels, I imagine lots of people just make them. I've seen them in the freezer at the health food store but my guess is that they suck and I'm not going to pay something like $7 for 5 bagels that suck.

Like Adalaide, I make the soup. I am lucky to have a gluten free bakery that makes a great bagel substitute - I probably prefer it to gluten bagels. :)

For those of us who occasionally like to open a can of soup instead of making it:

I have heard that some like Udis bagels , which many Whole Foods and other groceries carry, either frozen or on the shelf.

Lunch will be a large mixed baby greens salad with toasted almonds, Parmesan shards, dried cherries, toasted pumpkin seeds and a lovely Dijon lemon vinaigrette.

I'm trying to expand my horizons for lunch. Especially since I am charged with feeding an ever increasingly picky toddler. <_< (Although I have discovered he will always eat his veggies if I give them to him while I make the rest of lunch. Hunger always overrides being picky!)

Today I made my first buckwheat pancakes. My grammy used to make them for me every Saturday morning, but hers always were a whole wheat, buckwheat mix. Still, these brought back memories and were super delicious. I was thrilled that Mr. Pickypants liked them too. I scrambled some eggs for the boys and had just a little bit of one myself. Then I chopped up a jicama. I never had one before, but I rather like them. My husband isn't a fan (shocker) but the kiddo seems to like it okay. They look so boring in the store, and just as boring cut up, the taste and texture was a really pleasant surprise.

Spice-rubbed fried chicken thighs (using cumin, coriander and paprika) on rice, topped with avocado and a squirt of lemon juice. Still feeling a bit hungry so I might have to snack on some cashew nuts until dinner time. :P

I made homemade mac n cheese with a colby/cheddar mix and Glutino penne.

Plain Greek yogurt with sliced fruit, a drizzle of honey and unsalted sunflower seeds. I use yogurt all the time as a substitute for sour cream. Dear other can't tell the difference. (A dallop on soup or baked potato, on top of nachos, in pancakes. And the d dog loves any leftovers.

love2travel Mentor

Mixed greens and jicama salad with toasted almonds, pumpkin seeds and Sherry vinaigrette. Oh, and orange supremes on top.

love2travel Mentor

Mango, strawberry and banana smoothie with a touch of almond extract.

Orange supremes? What's that? :D

love2travel Mentor

Orange supremes? What's that? :D

Simply the way you peel and slice the oranges without any skin - they sorta look like mandarin segments only bigger. ;)

love2travel Mentor

Vanilla French Toast with my homemade bread and my homemade vanilla extract (with bourbon). Could have been worse! :lol: As bread is a rare treat for me, I seriously enjoyed it.

Hormel Naturals roast beef and ham. Lays Stax. Cucumber and tomato salad and an Enjoy Life chocolate bar.

love2travel Mentor

Potato, mushroom and red onion frittata.

love2travel Mentor

Grilled lactose free Swiss cheese and ham bun.  Lots of raw cuke.

      Although I disagree with interjecting the element of dermatitis herpetiformis since this is not a real issue for the OP, I think Rogo72 gives good advice about how to navigate social situations as a celiac when finding yourself in unsympathetic company. It requires developing somewhat of a tuff skin and holding your ground in order to be safe. The psychology of these situations is that family and friends try to make you as the celiac feel that you have a mental problem rather than a medical one. The fact is, they are the ones with the mental problem (ignorance and arrogance). It helps to avoid the brow beatdown to reframe it in that sense. But at the same time you must avoid the temptation to develop bitterness toward them which will destroy relationships. Rise above that and keep this one issue in its place so that it doesn't commandeer the whole of the relationships involved. As I mentioned above, I'm sure we can all remember times when we misjudged others because we were ignorant of the facts. One thing that sometimes happens in the celiac social experience is when some of those who were skeptical and critical of a celiac friend or family member find out they themselves have celiac disease. Boy, how that can change their attitude! And keep in mind, some studies have shown that almost 50% of the first degree relatives of those with celiac disease will themselves develop celiac disease. So, @sillyyak52, you may have the last laugh!

      Hey SicilyGirl, I feel your pain, I am 51 and was diagnosed in August with Celiac and actually had to have iron transfusions because my iron was so low. I never had energy, going to one store wiped me out, it was horrible. Then the weirdest thing happened two weeks ago, I realized I had energy when I was talking on a phone and moving heavy Christmas boxes around like they were nothing, and then I ran off to make dinner. Talk to your doctor about your concerns and give yourself some grace.

      @sillyyak52, If it makes you feel any better, I have a sibling who thinks the dinner table (at fine dining restaurants, and less formal pub grub settings etc.) is a personal buffet table and dips into the food of whoever is sitting beside or opposite to them just to get a taste (no plate is safe!) ... never asks for permission ... and has no consideration of gluten cross contamination even though I've explained it diplomatically with articles, pictures of dermatitis herpetiformis (which I've had for years) like @knitty kitty and I both suggest you do. I avoid that sibling at restaurants now and sit at the opposite end of the table out of arms reach! I've had similar treatment at a recent siblings 60th BBQ with family and friends (brought my own food and burger), where I was told (in a very rude manner) "tough luck, there's nowhere safe ... just cook your burger on the BBQ" which was cross contaminated ... I stood my ground and asked for a clean frying pan to cook my burger safely and separately.

      knitty kitty makes a good point. Avocados are high in histamines. So are bananas. Both also trigger histamine production in the body when consumed so there's a double whammy with those two foods for those struggling with histamine intolerance/MCAS
