Gluten Free Recipes for Exciting Dishes in a Half-Hour or LessGluten free recipes is the only page on QuickEatsPlus that's dedicated to someone. That someone is my dear, dear daughter. Lauren was only a toddler when her serious gastrointestinal problems were correctly diagnosed as celiac disease (or, “sprue”, as it’s known in the U.K. and Europe), first by her mother (by way of Dr. Benjamin Spock’s book) and then confirmed by Dr. John Lloyd-Still at Children’s Hospital in Chicago. While we were thrilled to learn that she could expect to get better and stay that way if we/she followed a gluten free diet for the rest of her life, it did seem like a bit of a "life sentence"...never to know the joys of pizza or beer, strawberry shortcake or spaghetti and meatballs or....the list seemed a mile long. But, no sooner had we joined a support group for celiac disease, than we were cheered by the number of gluten-free recipes we received upon joining. But thirty-some years ago there was little imagination in the world of gluten-free recipes with rice flour bread, potato starch pancakes and cornmeal this-and-that the predominant dishes. At that time, even "oats" were considered taboo (now it’s just wheat, rye and barley that “celiacs” must avoid). Also, you found “zero” gluten-free (GF) diet items anywhere but health food stores; now many supermarkets have a representative selection, but, you’ll still find the best selections in GNC’s or similar stores. Today’s “GF home cooking” is so very much more exciting and, thanks to a greater selection of products, easier; I submit the following examples in support of that claim. Enjoy them and stay well.
