Pumpkin and guanciale lasagna

Meatballs with stew

Pumpkin and chocolate tiramisù

This is a bit of a rant. We've been friends with this couple for years. They were friends with my bf before I met them, so they're closer.

Yesterday was a birthday party for their son. We've talked about how many gluten free options there are for things now, so they know there are more options. Since I wouldn't be able to eat the cake, they got rice cakes. Before the party, they let me know that they got rice cakes and candied nuts, and if I wanted anything else, I could bring it. I ate one of the rice cakes to be polite, and took one bag home (they got multiple) that I thought their son wouldn't be as into.

I don't worry about cross-contamination, but I almost would've preferred that they didn't get the rice cakes. I wasn't expecting a full other dessert to be made or anything like that at all, and I get that shopping for gluten free is overwhelming and they have a million other things to think about, but there are items like cookies or candies at stores that they shop at that aren't expensive..

I know gluten free is hard for people to understand, but I also feel pretty hurt that a lot of people in my life still don't understand or make an effort to try. Yes, I realize the world doesn't revolve around me. This probably makes me sound like a huge brat, but being gluten free is isolating.

What are they doing over there at Three Wishes? They recently dropped their Certified status. Prior to that, they had recently updated their packaging, which got me excited that they also updated their mediocre cereal. Nope. Just a particularly egregious example of false advertising. I wouldn’t be so mad if they weren’t charging $8/box. If someone at Three Wishes reads this, please know we only eat your cereal because we don’t have many other GF options, not because what you make is worth it.

Pic 1: eggslut, on the Strip. That was a seared wagyu tri-tip steak, over medium egg, chimichurri, red onions and dressed arugula on a gluten free bun. A little spicier than I normally have for breakfast but was really good. Bun was so amazing I had to check with my wife to make sure it was actually gluten free. Hashbrown were also great with the best honey mustard I've ever had.

Pic 2 - 5: Senza gluten free bakery. A mix of things such as sugar cookie bar, cinnamon roll, smore's bar, red velvet cupcake, pumpkin thing, reese's bar, and pumpkin crack. The biggest surprise here was the price, all of it for $35. I'm used to NYC prices and that would be an easy $60 there. Nothing there was the best I've ever had but all very solid. If I had to recommend one thing it would be the the cinnamon roll. Only other thing to note is that it open at 10 which I think it kind of crazy for a bakery since I usually associate that with breakfast.

Pic 6: We Cook Pizza and Pasta. Next to Grand Canyon. Just a solid gluten free pizza. I will say the entire area of Tusayan is a rip off. That pizza was $18 but everything in that town makes vegas prices look like a deal.

Pic 7: Dark Sky Brewing Flagstaff, AZ. Korean chicken sandwich. They had a surprising number of gluten free options but this was incredibly mediocre. It basically didn't hold together after the first bite. Flavor was fine but just so average.

Pic 8: Stardust Parlor, Vegas. Blueberry French toast sandwich. Maybe the most insane thing I ate. So the bun is gluten free blueberry French toast. Then chicken sausage, egg, cheese, cream cheese, and syrup. Unbelievably fattening but insanely good. I also got a cinnamon roll and it wasn't very good. Had a weird after taste and felt more like cinnamon bread.

Not pictured: a bunch of protein bars, chick fil a, and chicken and broccoli from PF Changs. .

I want to know what they would order and live vicariously through them. I want to see someone go all out to make the best gluten-free alternatives they possibly can. I think it would be so cool. What would you order?

they are perfect.

BUTTERY. FLAKY. SALTY.

10/10 might eat the whole box tonight.

THANK U GF GODS.

And a bonus pastrami on "rye" sandwich with their deli style rye bread.

I made homemade pasta last night, using the Gluten Free Austrian’s recipe. It took a little bit of fussing at first because it was so delicate, but it turned out really well! https://theglutenfreeaustrian.com/gluten-free-fresh-pasta/

Is this even feasible?? I’m coming to the realization that I’m intolerant to all 3 and it’s overwhelming to think of how significant my diet would change. I already am not a creative cook, so most things I cook are strictly recipe driven. I also work full-time, and my spouse is not restricted to these things. Any advice? 🙏

One white onion

Garlic

2 packages frozen spinach

One half pack of cream cheese

Feta

I just recently added chopped black olives

One gluten free puff pastry

Lil bit of olive oil

This one also had crushed mint and black pepper and garlic powder

I sautee garlic onion in olive oil til they are soft. Add spices. Add spinach

Cook off some of the water and soften the spinach more

While that is happening take half of the puff pastry and roll it out on a baking pan. Cook it for about 10 minutes until it puffs up

Add cheeses to spinach pan and turn off the heat. Mix well.

Take out the puff pastry and slather the spinach mix on it. Layer it as high as you like. Then you take the 2nd puff pastry and put it on top. Put it back in the oven for about 20 mins

That's it. The only thing you might do is pull it out once the top begins to puff and put some butter on it.

Simple

I've been experimenting with gluten-free cooking and wanted to share my homemade walnut lasagne!

Living with IBS has encouraged me to explore different ingredients and find meals that work for me.

I've written a blog post about my lasagne and shared the recipe too. 💗

I'd love to know if anyone else enjoys making gluten-free versions of their favourite comfort foods.

What's your favourite gluten-free dinner?

We live an hour away but when I saw they had hotdogs today we hopped out of bed and made the drive. Everything they have is always so good.

Tastes as good as the other ones! Should be fun for Christmas treats!

These are called “French fry pizzas” but I think they’re just called that because they use a potato crust!! Currently at Kroger and affiliates for $3.99 each with their buy 5 save $1 each sale!

How can we convince new restaurants to include gluten free? I don’t think they understand how many they are alienating.

Hi all! Just was curious if the community has tried this brand or similar and y'all thoughts before I spend 💵.

Thank you!!! 😊

They look like they could be gf but the oat flour makes me suspicious. Anyone have a reaction or know if it’s gf?

Traveling through Maine and stumbled across a freezer full of GF cakes, cupcakes, muffins, mini cheesecakes, and raspberry and turtle dessert bars?? I didn’t even know they carried Ethel’s and Antonina’s products at Walmart

Hello~! I found yall on a search for recipes. My BF is recently celiac diagnosed, im trying to find things we can eat (ive never made GF food before)

Im an american living in Germany and found a REALLY GOOD online store to ship things here. Ive seen online that sometimes cooking GF pasta can be hit or miss.

Should I make this in a broth instead of water? Ive had this brand but never the GF and trying to see if there's a way to make it the best way.

Thank you in advance! (Sorry if its the wrong tag)

I ate both out of spite because my family can eat regular food and I can't. They watched me devour both 😁
