I have been making pictures from my dinners for the past 5 months- only when I made something that looked very good. I never got the chance to post them when I made them, so I decided to make one post with them (just because I hate to make them for nothing).

So Enjoy!

1. Roasted turkey breast with onion and mustard made into sauce with peas. Cooked potato halves with fresh chopped parsley and olive oil and pickled cabbage salad.

These look incredible, Simona. I never think to take photos of my creations for some reason. I should get into that.

Thanks for showing us all that gorgeous and delicious meals from scratch can be done gluten free. Darn it - I'm hungry and it's only 10 am!

simona! looks so delicious!! how did you make the pickled cabbage, just in a small batch? everything looks so colorful :)

now i am soooo hungry - also, what flour mix did you use for your crepes and did you use butter or oil??

Your dishes look and sound great! I hope you continue being passionate about your food. Let me know if you need an extra gluten-free eater (me) to try out some of your meals! unsure.gif

Crepes I have been making from scratch. I will make some today and measure ingredients. I know how the dough should look just by mixing it.

The pickled cabbage I made last fall. I just cut by hands on tiny strips 1 big cabbage, or 2 smaller, 4 red Bell peppers, 6 big onions, 6-7 green tomatoes like for hamburgers, and 5 carrots (shredded like mozzarella cheese). Mix everything together and pure hot pickle juice in it through a small strainer. Do this in evening, let it cool down and put into fridge over night. In the morning put cabbage mixture with pickle juice in glass jars, cover tide and sterilize 30 minutes (put small towel on bottom of wider pot, place jars in pot, pure cold water into pot and wait until boil to count 30 minutes, lower the heat on medium heat and cook).

I'm using special pre-packaged mixture of spices from my country for pickles and every type of vegetable mixtures.

Pickle juice: 5 1/2 cup of water, 2 cups of sugar, 2 cups of white vinegar and spices (4Tbp.salt, 1 Tbsp. whole mustard seds, 1 Tbsp. ground black pepper, 1/2 Tbsp. ground all spice, 1/4 Tbsp. ground coriander and 1/4 Tbsp.bay leaf - amount is based on my visual inspection of pre-packaged bag)

You can make mixture like this: 1 big green cabbage, 8 Italian peppers, 6 big onions, and 15 cucumbers with skin.

2. 2 big green cabbages, 8 big onions, 10 Italian peppers, 8 cucumbers with skin and 1 bag of carrot shredded like mozzarella cheese.

3. 1 red and 1 green cabbage, 8 big onions, 8 Italian peppers, 10 cucumbers with skin, 1 bag of carrot shredded on the smaller side of shredder, but it looks like the side where you cut mozzarella cheese.

4. Cut 1/2 of red cabbage, 3 big onions, 6 Jalapeno peppers or other type- more hot, 2-3 Italian peppers (optional) and mix it together. Cut 2 cauliflowers on smaller florets (like broccoli). Place some of cabbage mixture on bottom of a bigger glass jar, then put one round of cauliflowers florets and cover with cabbage mixture. Continue until you will fill up all jar, pure hot pickle juice over it and sterilize. This is good with any sausage on grill, or with ribs.

My mom knows the recipe for fresh pickled cabbage that will last in the fridge for 7 days and is very similar to #2. I will ask her and post it later in week.

My food is simple and fast to make, not like yours - special culinary creations. As I sad once already, sometimes I don't even know what something that you cook looks like or what are you actually doing with it. Your dinners sound like a some well known chef in 5 star hotel made it for president.

Pictures would be nice, but just reading about your food is giving me a will to do a better job in my kitchen.

P.S.:I had a such a hard time today to make the pictures smaller for this forum. :blink: I will post few tomorow.

Ooo, I must be passionate about my food, otherwise my husband wouldn't stay on gluten-free diet. But I was always handy in kitchen, even before gluten-free diet. Now I just need to adapt little be and the results are great.

Sometimes I wish that I would have house full of hungry people because if I have a "good" day, I'm able to cook 3 dinners and 2 snack. Then we are stuck eating it for 3 days.

Oh, but your dishes look wonderful and I bet they taste even better. I love it when others' passions are evident like this. If everyone let me, I could (and I am not kidding) discuss food for hours and hours and hours, well into the night. My husband's and my conversations always turn into food, even if we start out by talking about business or whatever. :)

You are a sweetheart. I dearly love ingredients and really respect them. I love to try unique things that others don't try. My cooking is adventurous and creative (usually except for now when I'm housesitting and don't have my stuff here!) and I am thankful I can buy such excellent ingredients from specialty stores and other countries on our travels. One of my favourite new things is black garlic. Oh, and Umami #5 paste. Love them.

I would enjoy seeing more of your pictures. They make me very hungry, that is for certain. And I still think that your challah bread is one of the best I've made! If only the weather would cool down enough for me to make more. I can taste it just thinking about it. You are a very good cook/baker, Simona! :)

When I saw the title of your thread I thought you were offering to SEND samples of your food to us. :lol: If you ever decide to make that offer, I'm afraid you'll NEVER get out of the kitchen. They'll HAVE to find someone else to clean!

notme Experienced

thank you, simona - seems like the secret is the hot pickle juice - i have many of the veggies you posted in combinations (odds and ends of garden 'crop') that i should be able to use!!

You can add Jalapeno pepper to any vegetable mix, or you can mix any type of vegetable. Yes, the secret is the hot pickle juice. You can make a little hall in middle of mixture, and put strainer in it. Pure the hot pickle juice through it to avoid seeds in pickled salad, but you can leave the strainer with seeds there over night.

Here is the recipe for Quick summer salad that can last in the fridge up to 3 weeks.1 big cabbage, 5 carrots, 3-4 big onions, salt, vinegar, sugar, ground black pepper and caraway seeds, water.

Cut cabbage on thin stripes and sprinkle with 2 Tbsp. of salt. Mix it very well. Set a said.

Peal and shred carrots. Peal onion, cut it on squares and then on tiny strips. Cook the pickle juice from 5

It took me 10 years to finally learn how to pronounce them. In my country we are calling them Hmm.. in my language we are writing them palacinky, pronunciation in English maybe :pulutsenky???

We will make them with raw Farmar cheese mixed with sugar and cinnamon, or any type of jelly and powdered sugar on top, or pudding, fruit and whip cream. Enjoy!

notme Experienced

finally had a chance to make these - turned out great!!! thank you so much; they are just like my grammy used to make. i ate them with sweetened cream cheese (like farmer's cheese i think) and grandson also says: mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!! and gobbled them right up :)

this batter will probably make good funnel cake, too :) i just have to put it into a squeeze bottle and fry in deeper oil - awesome!! i am going to nj this week and my sister wants to go to the shore - that will make a good boardwalk snack :)

i am praying that this year somebody is making gluten free nj pizza - i think i miss that most of all - last year i didn't find any :( here's to hoping!!

I'm sooooo happy that crepes turned out great. I think that to make funnel cakes you would have to add baking soda, or powder to make them more fluffy. I never made funnel cakes, so I don't have recipe for that yet. Maybe in the future. I saw one recipe on The Nate show that looked very interesting - cook was using beer and mashed bananas in the dough. I'm planning to make it and if I like it, I will post it later.

      You had the wrong link to the menu, so I fixed that for you 😉. Trying to eat gluten-free at Chili's is risky due to cross-contamination, even if you go with items marked gluten-free on their menu. Every person with celiac disease has a different level of sensitivity, and you've not mentioned anything about your situation in that regard. Whenever I eat out I take GliadinX (a sponsor here), but of course, the best option would be to avoid eating out. 
    • Nicbent35
      She has had problems with constipation, they actually prescribed miralax for her but I have changed some other things about her diet that seemed to have helped, so I never gave it to her..but she still doesn’t always go daily 
    • trents
      @Nicbent35, are there any other symptoms besides altered mood when your daughter gets "glutened"? Behavior like that in children often belies physical discomfort of some kind. Does she complain of stomach aches? Is she constipated?
    • Nicbent35
      Well I had a moment yesterday morning where I accidentally gave her gluten. She wanted what I was eating and I forgot and let her have a few bites of toast. It was a really bad night last night with her behavior. Will a few bites of bread influence their behavior that much or could it just be a coincidence?

      Hi everyone, I'm exploring gluten-free options at various restaurants and recently came across some chatter about Chili's offering gluten-free dishes. I'm curious if anyone has tried their gluten-free options or has any insights into how safe and tasty they are. Questions to Discuss: Which dishes at Chili's are truly gluten-free? Have you experienced any issues with cross-contamination? Do you have any tips or recommendations when ordering from Chili's menu? How does the taste and portion size compare to other gluten-free restaurants? Looking forward to hearing your experiences and any advice you might have! Thanks,
