The orig recipe came from the back of a ener-g potato starch flour box. I added the pineapple and coconut and raisins because I like those things....and think it makes it even more yummy!! My family thinks this cake is great.....they love it.

(1 cup) melted margarine

Armetta-Ore-Ida is not one of the companies that has obvious glutens on their labels. They put out a gluten free list, which can be recieved by e-mail and snail mail. They have a list online, but it is not nearly as long as the one that they will e-mail out. There are several of their products that "seem" to be gluten free by reading the labels, but in fact they do not call them safe.

I had bought their frozen mashed potatoes once, read the bag and thought "wow looks great, nothing offensive on the label" ate them and got terribly sick. Gave them a call to check, and sure enough they were not safe.......sooo moral to the story is follow their gluten free list.

here is the most recent list that I have from them (e-mail)

I have a bachelorette party to attend this weekend. Can someone add to this list of gluten-free alcohol options Thanks!!

-Jessica

Hillshire farms has some polish sausage and some sausage with cheese in it that are pretty good. They go well on the grill. I also put burgers, chicken, steaks, make kabobs. Fruit on the grill like pineapple and strawberries.........veggies there are SO many options.

-Jessica

We just got a new gas grill and we want to keep the grill gluten-free for our 12 year old son but my husband wants sausage and such. What good gluten-free meats do you all use for the grill. Thanks for sharing.

Aren't some of the carnation instant breakfast things ok? I know some of them come in cans. You would have to call and check on the gluten-free status, but it's worth a shot.

-Jessica

Use the grocery store ad to plan your meals for the week. Use the products that are on sale to make your meals.

Don't let leftovers go to waste. If you can't eat them before they go bad, put them into gladware containers in the freezer labeled with the name of the food and the date that you froze it. Use those meals for lunches, or times when you don't feel like cooking.

Buy multiples of items when they are on sale. Many gluten free items freeze very well for later.

Buy a deep freeze or chest freezer. This is a great place to keep all of those foods you stock up on and leftovers you are freezing.

Buy in bulk when possible. I buy my favorite mixes in bulk and it saves quite a bit of money.

-Jessica

Probably nothing new here as this is very basic. How about starting a list here of personal budget tips.

Just a note on the alexia fries. Some of them DO contain dairy (I had oven baked reds with olive oil, garlic and parmasean cheese last night) Sooo you might be running the risk of CC with some of them. You would have to call the company to find out for sure.

Guac doritos are my fav too and I can still get them here!!! I live in Kansas. Bought a bag last night at the store. I can't wait to turn my fingers are green hahahaa

-Jessica

My favorite was the Guacamole flavored doritos, unless I guess they discontinued them. Can't find them anymore. Guess that's an acquired taste =P So, now my favorite is the Cheddar & Sour Cream that Lays carries.

-Ash

Melisa-

That sounds awesome!! Thanks for putting in all the energy and time for us!! I can't wait to see what you come up with.

-Jessica

First, let me introduce myself. My name is Melisa. I am a classically trained chef and am currently studying to become a registered dietician. I am in the process of being tested for celiac, but regardless of the results will be implementing a gluten-free lifestyle immediately following all testing. I am married and have two daughters, ages 3 and 5.

I was wondering if anyone would be interested in me posting daily/weekly gluten-free meal plans, including shopping lists and recipes? Although every recipe would not work for all celiacs, taking into consideration the wide range of other food allergies & intolerances, most would work for many.

If anyone is interested, I would be happy to post them as I create them, I just don't want to waste what little energy I have if nobody is interested.

Sincerely,

Melisa

Sweet Baby Ray's for me too!! Love it.......mmmmmmm

Hope it helps.

On what basis do you say Heniz Organic has gluten? The only thing suspecious I see on the label is viniger.... ? Did you check with Heniz or some such?

As to Mayo, I find light mayo sometimes have 'suspecious' ingrediants. I can't say for sure it's gluten though.

The labeling on Kozy Shack has said gluten-free for as long as I have been eating it. (at least a couple of years) Gotta love that!

-Jessica

Just want to quickly comment... I had always known it was gluten-free, but I just looked at the ingredients list to be sure and guess what? It had "Gluten-free" written below the ingredients list! First Stax, then some other companies, now even the chocolate pudding--we're making great strides with these labels.

I had just seen your post and decided to try to help ya find it!! I had been craving eggrolls some time back and made some. Actually took a couple out of the freezer today and had them for lunch mmmmmm!! Jealous?!?!

-Jessica

I am not sure, one was posted yesterday in "coping with" I will try them all.

Strange how we both went searching for egg rolls at the same time.

I can't find that wonderful recipe for egg rolls made out of rice paper. It didn't print off well yesterday so I figured I would do it at work, now I can't find it...hellllppp!

Here is one:

-Jessica

is this the recipe you were searching for Rusla?

-Jessica

Here is 2 different ways that I make enchiladas:

First one is like a caserole:

Layer bottom of pan (sprayed with pam) with tortillas, rip some apart to cover whole bottom of 9x13

Next put layer of sauce

layer of meat

layer of cheese (I prefer velveeta)

top with another layer of tortillas

repeat layers until you are either out of room in pan or out of ingredients top with more cheese!! mmmm

then bake for maybe an hour or so at about 350 or 375 to melt all the cheese

2nd recipe:

pour a small amount of enchilada sauce into a 9x13 pan cover bottom of pan, but do not have tons of excess

get out a large plate pour some enchilada sauce onto the plate

dip tortilla into sauce coat both sides of tortilla, fill with meat and cheese roll and put into a 9x13 baking pan

continue this process until you have a full pan

pour remaining sauce over enchiladas and top with more cheese

bake at 350-375 until cheese is melted (maybe 30min or so)

I usually make my own enchilada sauce:

2 sm. cans tomato sauce (I use contadina)

Tablespoon oil

2 T. chili powder

1c water or chicken broth

1tsp garlic powder

2T corn starch

1C water

In a saucepan I put in the oil and chili powder. Keep stirring it because it will burn if you don't. This gets out the oils and flavors in the seasoning. THEN add in your water or broth. and bring to a boil. Disolve your cornstarch into the 2nd cup of water add this and also the garlic salt. Keep stirring and it will thicken.

Easy as can be to make!!

Enjoy your enchiladas!!

-Jessica

Well Crap!! I guess I'll have to "wish" celiac onto another celeb haha!!

-Jessica

YES, you are right he is... The wedding to Bride-B*tchzilla was [called off]. We are so happy! The band just got back a few weeks ago from a Euro-tour and daddyO flew home to spend a few weeks with him, and then the band left on Tuesday on another USA tour.

AND, only one big problem he and daddyO are NOT CELIAC's they've been tested.

I am not sick anymore!!! I do not feel/look like death warmed over. YEAH!!

-Jessica

I think some of the celebrities with celiac disease [are here] on this site, lurking and looming reading about and discovering many of the things we have. Remember if 1 out of 200 people have it un-DX what do the numbers say? But they the celebrities are hidden in silence afraid of what will happen to their career. They might have an agent, a family member or someone who they confide their secrets with. And they might me here posing as a Celiac.

zip2play -- said it best...

This is a hidden disease no one want to talk about no-less admit to.

I've have celiac disease a little over 5 years (perhaps longer and I didn't realise it)... I thought back today of how I found this site and never signed up to joined until a couple years after. I would come to this site anonymously and read the posting and learn from all the stories and info posted here. Perhaps that is what many of these celebrities are also doing? Plus I think many of the doctors and their staff come here too...

Isn't your brother a famous band member? I remember you posting about that some time back (his wedding drama). Possibly you could convince him to get tested, we could all HOPE He has it, and he could be our famous celiac spokes dude haha

Then celiac could be ROCK AND ROLL COOL!!

I feel like I am playing a game show. Ok thanks for joining us for this eppisode of "Find the Hidden Gluten"

I noticed the other day that my favorite "flavor" of the oil of olay soap is now "with oats". I used to use the purple label bottle. Check to see if that is the same kind you used.

I like the food for life tortillas also. They fit perfectly into my quesadilla maker!! Mmmmmmm The smaller corn tortillas make things leak out the sides.
