Whole foods has some great cookie dough that is gluten free. I have a great oat and buckwheat pancake recipe. Bobs Red Mill has a great gf free oatmeal. I have been gluten free for 15 years so lets talk. Also have some oat scones that I think are amazing.

 

thanks gh. Good to know. My naturopath says it might be temporary reaction to gluten, wheat or the preservatives in it. I feel so damn much better that I don't want to eat wheat. Amazing really.

Do you mind sharing on the thread? Never thought of premade cookie dough being gluten free. What a concept. My mind keeps getting blown today. Apparently it doesn't take much.

 

not too sure about many wheat free beers, but redbridge is pretty good. I also hear that coors and budwiser are made with rice. Not too sure, but my gluten free friend drinks those and is fine.

 

Since my brother grows barley for coors and another friend does for Bud - I am thinking no. I surely hate to think I will have to give up Beer. The much, much bigger loss for me would be giving up whiskey. Gawdammit. If this turns into more of a celiac thing and I have to I will be extremely pissed.

My wife has been glueten free for several years, but I do nearly all the cooking so here it goes. Just cook whole good foods and it is easy, meat, all manner of veg, rice, potato, yam, squash et. etc., try to grow a garden or containers in the summer to suplement if you can.

For pre-made bread, Udi's products are pretty good, also sanoma wraps aren't bad, corn tortialls are glueten free yo, especially if you make your own, get yo self a tortilla press!
Bob's Red Mill makes a large selection of glueten free baking products, but I like Pamela's products better, I have tried a lot of various wheat free pasta products and we like Trader Joes rice pasta products about the best, also if you can get yo self to an asian grocery store, they got about 1 million kinds of rice noodles. For just about any processed or canned food, take a close look at the label if you need to go 100% without wheat glueten cause it is in nearly everything. For alcohol, potato vodka, wine, sake, there are some glueten free beer but I haven't found any tasty ones, luckily I aint gluten free. or get yo self a vaporizer. Good luck, p.s. every person should have a naturopath as a primary care physician!

I might add the photo of the 2 person pizza on the Owyhee in the little round DO is a Pamela's gluten free crust mix, which is about the best off the shelf gluten free pizza crust mix I have found the resembles a wheat crust very closely in texture and taste

Already figured out the vodka being from the Potato state of Idon'tknow. No Trader Joes around. I will look for Pamelas. Bob's breakfast mix (sub for oatmeal) looked good so I thought I might try it. We do eat veggies and grow lots of stuff at home. Not too much canned or packaged stuff even before this. How does the vape fit in to this? yo. and that pizza looks damn good.

I have been to see six or seven different doctors for the same mechanical problems in the last two years my current doc has done more for me in a few visits than all the other MDs combined. Pretty pathetic what passes for doctoring with some folks these days. But I am getting better so that's good.

i've heard that other products from Bob's Redmill are good, but the all purpose GF flour is nasty and it's bitter taste permeates all recipes i tried with it. however, Tom Sawyer GF flour is delicious and can be substituted for wheat flower in any recipe - it's well worth trying.

I will try. Google is my friend.

Thanks for all the replies and keep em coming.

shapp - do you use a mix for the corn torts? which one?

I'll post some stuff tomorrow, I'm new to this myself but we (& by me I mean 95% my girlfriend ) have figured out some "decent" alternatives.


I miss bread & white tortillas like you can't believe ...

 

It is damn hard to beat a home made corn tortilla fried up in a cast iron skillet with a little oil, with just about anything slapped on top, pulled pork, egg and suasage, chicken salad, refried beans cheese and avacado, the white ones are for throwing at a phish concert

 

glutenfreemama.com - our local coop baker uses their recipes and they are great.

 

Stay away from Bob's Redmill GF all purpose flour

i've heard that other products from Bob's Redmill are good, but the all purpose GF flour is nasty and it's bitter taste permeates all recipes i tried with it. however, Tom Sawyer GF flour is delicious and can be substituted for wheat flower in any recipe - it's well worth trying.

 

outsidethebreadbox.com here in the springs makes fantastic graham crackers and choco chip cookies. excellent stuff. other things as well.

The cookie dough I use is from eatpastry, eatpastry.com, whole foods carries it. It is also vegan. I will work on getting the recipes copied in.

 

CD, we diagnosed Riley with a gluten allergy, so we've been dealing with this too.

Most of the Bob's stuff is pretty pricey too. Most of the GF stuff is crap made from rice and way overpriced. Expect to make most of your bread substitutes, which will be easy for you since you already make your own bread.

Oat flour is popular here.

Polenta is a good grain, and is a great base for a casserole.

Riley needs to avoid eggs too, which really adds to the challenge of finding shelved baked goods.

It's so hard to feed my kids, I can't imagine if they couldn't do bread.
Polenta is ground corn right? I had forgotten about that one.
I love quinoa and have been using until I started the changes.

drink your whiskey instead. All distilled liquors are supposed to be gluten free.

Best news I have had all day. ^^^ and thanks to everyone for the tips and ideas. I am going to try to do a mostly gluten free menu for our spring trip without being boring.

Good to know I can get clean oats. Any corn tortilla mix or recipe to make my own? Torts of some kind will be on the rio for the chili verde (homemade verde ) DO enchiladas fo sure.

Thanks for everything

 

I like to make pad thai on the river:
-Rice noodles
-Frozen veggies
-pre-cooked shrimp/chicken ect. frozen
-Sauce packet from kingsoopers
-add peanuts, lime and celantro to taste

 

I realized later that most of my recipes are probably worthless to you as I went vegan about 6 months ago and you probably dont want to go that far.

Bella gluten-free flour is at king soopers and you can sub it for wheat in almost any recipe. You dont have to give up oatmeal, Bob's has a gluten free oatmeal. Oatmeal is not a gluten but it is almost always contaminated with wheat. I have been doing the bobs red mill version for a year and no problems from it. See this site, celiac.com

Tips from my years of doing this.

1) forget about beer, there is no way to make a decent gluten free beer. its a loss but drink your whiskey instead. All distilled liquors are supposed to be gluten free. Never had a problem with a good aged scotch. My fav would be Balvenie.

2)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5UiuqIWGe_s these pack well and are tasty

3) a good basic potato chip can get you through almost any situation. no more than 3 ingredients, oil, salt, potato

4) dont overdo protein to compensate

5) most corn tortillas are cross contaminated

6) soy sauce is a killer, liquid wheat

7) the more you learn to cook, the better off you are. the only way to be sure of the contents is to cook it yourself

8) naked burritos, visit chipotle often

i will try to think of more

 

I've made these 3 times so far, not sure if they ever set up completely because they disappear at my house before they're even cooled completely. Wheat and dairy free - sorry Dave it has eggs

Dark Chocolate Brownies (gluten and dairy free)

5 ounces high quality dark chocolate
1/2 cup coconut oil
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons organic light brown sugar
1/2 cup almond meal
1/4 cup brown rice flour
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
2 organic free-range eggs, beaten
1 tablespoon bourbon vanilla


Optional:


1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts, if desired
Dark chocolate chips for the top, if desired



Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line an 8x8-inch square baking pan with foil and lightly oil the bottom.

​

Melt the dark chocolate and coconut oil in a saucepan over low heat, gently stirring. (Or melt in a microwave safe measuring cup and stir together to combine.)

In a mixing bowl whisk together the brown sugar, almond meal, brown rice flour, fine sea salt and baking soda. Make a well in the center and add the beaten eggs, vanilla extract and melted dark chocolate mixture. Beat on low-medium for two minutes, until the batter begins to come together. At first it will seem thin, like cake batter, but keep beating until it thickens and becomes smooth and glossy.​

​

If you are adding nuts, stir in the nuts by hand and spread the batter into the prepared baking pan. Even out the batter with a silicone spatula.​

​

Stud the top with some dark chocolate chips and press in slightly.​

​

Bake in the center of a preheated 350 degree F oven for 32 to 35 minutes, or until the brownies are set. The top will crack, like a flourless chocolate cake.​

Cool on a wire rack; and remove the cooled brownies from the pan by gripping the foil edges and lifting the brownies out as a whole.

Chill for an hour before cutting. (Though warm and gooey is really divine, if you don't mind them falling apart.)​

Yield: 12-16 servings​

Wow, for someone who hasn't considered dessert for 7 weeks that is ultimate food pron writing there. Can't wait to try these.

 

We don't even avoid wheat but these are the best brownies ever )

 

Lots of good ideas here. Assuming you have Fred Meyer in Idaho- they have a good gf selection. There's also a couple of good gf pancake mixes (just add water kind). The end up a little thin- almost crepe like, but fill w/ strawberries and whip cream and oh so yummy!

Bon appetit!

 

Almond flour is a really good ingredient.

Our family has a bunch of GF recipes at:
Homefries Cookbook

The brownie recipe was adapted by my daughter from
glutenfreegoddess.com - gluten free foods Resources and Information. This website is for sale!

Italian corn pasta like:
Le Veneziane Italian Gluten Free Corn Pasta (search Amazon) is a really adequate pasta substitute. Many Italians are celiac so every pharmacy in Italy is required to sell GF stuff. Who knew.

I look forward to the Pamela's pizza crust - that's something my wife (GF) and I both still crave.

Wheats wrong with eating a little gluten?

 

Dutch-oven cornbread. Add butter and maple syrup.

 

a lot of corn bread mix actualy has a lot of wheat in it, so watch out for that

 

You can prep your own wheat-free cornbread mix at home. No need to buy commercial stuff. Cheaper too.

 

Recipe?

Search reveals this using rice flour mixed with ....the other stuff.

Gluten Free Cornbread | Gluten Free Recipes

 

That one looks alright. This one uses sour cream so must be better:

Sour Cream Cornbread (Gluten-Free Recipe*) | Land O'Lakes

Sorry, haven't actually tried it so can't comment on the outcome.

 

I have been cutting out the wheat at home, for my wife and stepdaughter, and it may be helping me out too. all the recipes mentioned so far sound great. Its amazing how much crap is in all the mass produced food these days. things that really shouldn't be together....

So we use Pamela's baking mixes, corn and rice pasta from Trader Joe's (..and so much other stuff. TJ's is frickin awesome. especially for spirits chocolate and wine. killer prices. actually way too much good shit.)
It blows me away about all these food allergies, I am a lactard (lactose intolerant) and may have a wheat sensitivity, and my wife has both the same, and the kids all have one or the other. its actually a good thing, but theres no more easy way out like just getting a frozen pizza for dinner once a week anymore.
I need to be on the caveman diet i think. Greens and Meat. and Whiskey. Cant forget the whiskey :mrgreen: . I have been cutting out the beer, and thats kinda tough.but like Carvedog said, possibly having to give up whiskey would reeallllly suck.

anyways good stuff. this is a good reminder that i need to find a naturopath or nutritionist to help me diagnose my diet issues.

I was gonna mention the paleo diet; they avoid all grains. You don't really need 'em for anything. Here is a 30 day meal plan, with no "grains, dairy, soy, legumes, or sugar (besides fresh fruit)".
http://beta.primal-palate.com/menus/30-day-paleomeal-plan/
There is a pretty strong scientific basis behind this diet. The idea is to mimic the diet that all humans ate, for 99% of the time out ancestors have been on this planet (ie: before the neolithic agricultural revolution). Would have been 100% organic back then.

Researchers theorize that wine was first produced in the paleolithic. Fermented fruit was certainly around.

Totally forgot what i meant to add-

this is a great wheatfree alternative to soysauce. it isnt soy free but thats another can o' worms. it tastes a bit funny, but much better then bland.

We use braggs all the time, it is the bomb, marinate chichen wings in it with lots of garlic and pepper then grill. tasty!

 

San-J and Kikkoman both make gluten/wheat free tamari soy sauce.

 

Did not know. I have been on the Braggs for almost two months. No soy at all.

Will have to try the wings recipe sounds great, maybe with a little Sriracha added. Oops hungry now.

Thanks for all the tips and ideas, this thread is delivering.
