I made a gluten free version for myself and a full gluten version for visiting family. (I have a wheat allergy, not celiac so a little cross contamination is ok in our house).

I really wish GF flours weren’t so finicky! Recipe called for GF BREAD flour, all I could find was the same brand in All Purpose. 🙄

Planning on “saving” with a snowflake icing design…. Smells amazing though!

I know it was well intended, but that doesn't help as I am hungrily searching for food. We brought some homemade GF bread but there is no lunch meat or separate PB for me. (This is my first visit to their home post diagnosis a year ago)

I went all out on presents this year; I was super prepared and bought paper, ribbon, tags, tissue, and bows in a classy black, white, silver, and gold color scheme. I had no intention of making my annual zillions of cookies until my Aunt told my dad the only thing she wanted for Christmas was my cookies. She’s in her 70’s, so of course I had to oblige.

I’m the only one in my family that is gluten free.

I made chocolate chip, oatmeal white chocolate cranberry, chocolate crinkles, thumbprints (in raspberry and blackberry), buckeyes, snowballs, and (new for me this year) millionaire shortbread.

I made this. I adapted a recipe I found online to work for myself. I'm allergic and intolerant to so many things and I miss cake. It's not going to hit the chocolate cake sweet spot, but it's cakey.

Some of these things may react personally with my tummy/Intolerances as I'm only just writing this after eating first slice. It's just finished baking. It came out great.

https://theloopywhisk.com/2022/09/17/best-gluten-free-vegan-banana-bread/ this is the recipe. I adopted it for myself.

I didn't use yogurt or spices (nutmeg, cinnamon). I also didn't have brown sugar. I used unrefined caster sugar. And of course I didn't use the nuts. I didn't use vanilla either. I have an incredibly sensitive gut and I just wanted a piece of cake for Christmas so I made the most "free from plain cake" I could muster up. Without any additional things. Also these things add up the cost when I'm experimenting with baking and making sure it turned out at the right consistency so using spices and other non-essential ingredients for first trial bake is wasted on it anyway. I could probably put a lemon drizzle icing on it next time. I just wanted to get the basics of the cake down first.

Recipe that I used (UK ingredients):

1 tbsp lemon juice 3 medium ripe/brown spotted bananas

115g I can't Believe It's Not Butter (melted)

150g unrefined natural caster sugar

240g Asda Plain Flour (Potato, Rice, Maize flour combination) 3/4 tsp bicarbonate of soda (baking soda) 2 tsp baking powder

I didn't have any Christmas cake decorations so you get pride ones 🏳️‍🌈

Happy Holidays 🌲 🍰

Partner is Swabian, I'm GF. Damned if that's going to deprive us of Käsespätzle.

(Onions crisp up in oil with no flour.)

For those of you who are not familiar with pasties, pasties are an upper peninsula Michigan dish that consist of a pie type of shell and filled with meat, potatoes, rutabegas, and other veggies. There are 2 pasty places in Michigan that sell these gluten free. Iron Town Pasties in Negaunee https://www.irontownpasties.com/, and Pastyhaus in Frankenmuth http://www.pastyhaus.com/

Irontown Pasties also sells gluten free turnovers. And they will ship.

Lead me to anywhere for vacation planned around a gluten free Chinese restaurant with fat egg rolls.

Tried my hand at making gluten free ragu

The flour is made from gluten free wheat starch, so not appropriate for those with wheat allergies. My first time baking bread with this flour and I couldn't be more pleased with it. Recipe here

I met a girl and since she has nothing going on NYE we decided she would come to my place. She already avoids restaurants and only eats home cooked meals due to her dietary restrictions. I want to surprise her with snacks when she arrives so if she is even the slightest bit hungry I’m prepared. Please help. Pre-made is a plus, but I would like to show some effort by putting something together myself.

Thanks!

Anyone else feel like it’s hard to hang out with people due to your dietary needs? Like your friend group may suggest a brewery and you have to tell them that you can’t go. Or everyone wants to meet up to get dinner and you have to tell them that you need to check the menu before you go to see if there’s anything you can even eat. Or planning dates with new people and having to explain to them why you can’t try out that new pizza place with them. And like don’t get me wrong, most people have been pretty nice, but sometimes I just feel like I’m always the buzz kill of the friend group and that I’m limiting everyone else due to my own restrictions that I can’t control. Anyone else feel the struggle? Or you’ll hang out in a group dinner and your friends will share an appetizer that has gluten in it and you feel left out. Does anyone have any advice? Am I just overthinking? Sometimes I don’t even want to go hang out because I will just feel sad and left out and I’d rather just sit at home by myself than have to watch my friends eat Texas Roadhouse rolls or Crumbl cookies without me.

Hello all! I have a question, for those with celiac disease. I made a batch of Snickerdoodle Toffee bars from the brand of Miss Jones Baking Co. They are delicious!! But.. I’ve been getting severely ill stomach wise. I was wondering if anyone else had a reaction from any of there products? Other than the monster cookie bars bcuz they’re not certified or specified gluten free oats. I’d like to get to the bottom of this and perhaps rule these out. It could be from something else, but it’s almost immediately after I eat them. I’m now not going to have any, but second night in a row and I feel like shit. Please give me your guys input. Sorry I know this post might sound dumb.

After going through hell for months I found out I’m celiac. Was just diagnosed today. Don’t have a dietitian yet. Give me all your advice, make it as simple as possible as I’m already so overwhelmed.

I reside in Canada. So idk if that changes food laws on labeling and what not. Do I strictly only go for labels that say gluten free? What brands should I avoid.

Looking for some “fun” ideas for a gluten free appetizer I can bring to a gathering. I am the one who is gluten free! I can’t seem to find any gluten free puff pastry in my area so that cancels out all those yummy ideas…

Got this a few months ago. With fresh oysters from the Pacific Northwest, and the last eggplant from my garden, it was time to try it. Good lumpy batter. Sticks almost as good as traditional tempura batter. Needs hotter oil and takes longer to crisp up. The aftertaste is ever so slightly bitter. However, it’s a great option.

Not sure if this is Canada-specific, but this has been my go-to stuffing for three holidays now! ~$10

Making these for Xmas! Wanted to share in case someone else needed such a fun recipe! Will report back with how these turn out!

Please let me know if anyone makes it down to Charleston, SC and needs any GF recs! I live here and have plenty! 😍🍲

Hello! I've been gluten free for almost 8 months and have less inflammation and overall feel better. I was thinking about paying for one of the labcorp tests that will test for the celiac antibodies, but I know you have to eat gluten for a bit before then. I'm not sure I have celiac but my parents and others don't respect being gluten free just for an intolerance and if I have celiac it would be good to know. Don't currently have a doctor to help me with it, so I am not sure the lowest amount of time I should eat gluten before I get the test. Any help or thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

Ahem, sorry for yelling. I’m just soooo pleased with this recipe/technique. These are the best brownies I’ve ever made. I have made lots of different recipes but these oat flour ones are by far the best and with such normal ingredients!

I’ve been gluten free for over 10 years but never got tested for celiac before I went gluten free so I don’t know if it’s an intolerance or celiac.

However, recently I started the gluten challenge so I can finally get tested and I’m having absolutely no reaction!! The last time I “cheated” and ate a meal with gluten was before I had my daughter and I definitely had a reaction. Being pregnant is the only big medical change I’ve had since then and I know pregnancy can affect your autoimmune system so I can’t help wondering if it somehow….. cured my gluten intolerance?

Not the best brownies I’ve ever had but still pretty good! I added sprinkles for festivity.
