Gluten-free recipes

Does anyone have any good dessert-type gluten-free recipes?

There is a recipe in the new "Clean Eating" mag that I may try but it's got a lot of ingredients I don't keep on hand.

FYI, I have been on a veggie and meat diet, which has helped me tremendously I feel great!

Get this my current Dr. figured this out for me after I was diagnosed with what seemed to be type II diabetes.  It appears I have Celiac disease which in some cases mimics diabetes. He immediately ordered Celiac disease specific test which have so far indicated that I am Gluten intolerant or allergic to gluten hence the reason I changed diets. (I am not a big sweets eater but any wheat based foods or condiments seem to cause problems for me, i.e., fatigue, itching skin high blood glucose levels etc.

Anyway Stells here you go!

I'm glad you posted this.  We have a friend who has just been put on medication because he has been diagnosed "pre-diabetic."  Maybe that diagnosis was incorrect!

I will mention what you posted above to him thanks :)

YW,

I will say this, not a full week went by (after I changed my diet) that I started to feel better, rest better, and have much more energy! FYI I even had to leave my skim milk alone it cause severe bloating and gas all which have been completely alleviated.

Sample daily diet for HM:
BREAKFAST
Complex fruits (Bannas, Blueberries, Pine apples, Apples and or egg whites only and a gluten free shake for breakfast! Once a week I may even have buckwheat pancakes with fruts mentioned above as a topping.

Snack some flavored rice chips/cakes and leafy veggies
All carbs of any kind are consumed before 2pm

LUNCH
Mainly Green leafy veggies and no more than 4 oz of meat e.g. 93% lean beef burgers (off the bun) with lettuce, tomatoes or seafood: salmon steak or tuna (grilled or baked)

DINNER
Turkey burger (off the bun) with lettuce, tomatoes or seafood: salmon steak or tuna (grilled or baked) always a green veggie for dinner (Kale, spinnach or collards) turnip roots onions etc.

AFTER DINNER SNACK
Mushrooms, brussels, cabbage greens, salad, carrots or celery etc. totally free foods

Result
I feel totally refreshed in the morning no aches or pains anymore, totally rested and revitalized. I can easily kick my teens butt in racquet ball and basketball now  without paying for it the next day in pain lol

Not easy at first but the trade off is well worth it and the body will adjust in a few short days.

Hustleman, does your local supermarket carry gluten-free products?
They were hard to find years ago, ....but more & more mainstream grocers are carrying it.
If not, your local health food store should be able to help you out.

Yes and the local grocery stores have gluten free sections (however small) but gluten free products are very expensive so I have to grocery list it's burdensome but we manage. I can't wait until my garden comes in that will save a lot of money for us in the produce department.

Hey what do you folks think about this; We are going to try eat seasonally as our ancestors were forced to do has anyone ever heard of this?

We are also trying to tailor our diets to blood types has anyone ever heard of this?

Blood Group O (My children and I)
This is the most common blood group; our digestive tract retains the memory of ancient times, and so type Os need to eat a typical hunter-gatherer type diet. In other words, type Os should follow a high-protein, low-carb diet with lots of meat and fish but no dairy products, wheat or grains.
The diet recommended for people with blood type O:
Foods you can eat freely include meat, fish and olive oil; foods you can eat in moderation include eggs, nuts, seeds, certain vegetables and fruits; and foods to avoid include dairy products, beans, cereals, bread, pasta and rice.
Blood Group A
This is the second most common blood type. This included eating lots of grains and vegetables but little meat. Consequently, blood type A’s should follow a vegetarian diet but still avoid dairy products. This means nuts, seeds, beans, cereals, pasta, rice, fruit and veg are all on the ‘to eat’ list.
Blood Group B
Only one person in 10 has blood type B – a real shame when you consider this blood group has the least dietary restrictions!  Very few foods need to be avoided and this is the closest you’ll get to a healthy, balanced diet. The only foods that need to be avoided are processed foods, although nuts and seeds aren’t recommended and only small amounts of carb-rich foods should be eaten.
Blood Group AB
People with this rare blood type should eat a combination of the foods recommended for blood groups A and B. Somewhat confusing when type B allows you to eat most foods, while type A suggests a vegetarian diet! ABs should follow a veggie diet most of the time with some meat, fish and dairy products occasionally.
