Gluten, Dairy, Soy, Nut, Corn and Sugar free Menu
Don’t know what to eat today? What can you eat now that you can’t eat one or any of these items? I decided that it was important to get resources out there for people who feel lost in a world of foods that they can no longer eat. Since it is taking more time than I would like to write all of the recipes that I know and provide all the information on the ingredients, I wanted to create a menu “ideas” page in order to have an instant resource for those who are struggling with figuring what they CAN eat. Also, keep in mind that planning ahead saves time and money, not to mention it’s much less-stress!
Sunday
Breakfast- Poached, Steam, Fried or Hard boiled Eggs
Lunch- Romaine lettuce wraps, use sliced deli meat or protein of choice with tomato, onion and Balsamic Vinaigrette
Whole fruit of choice
Dinner- Chicken Cacciatore – Bobbie Flay’s recipe, yum! Just use brown rice noodles & either omit the parmesan or use nutritional yeast instead. Make extra for a leftover’s dinner tomorrow J
Monday
Breakfast- Gluten-free Oatmeal made with Coconut Milk and raisins
Lunch-Hemp, Chia seed or Flax seed butter with Jam of choice (sweetened with pectin, honey or stevia) on gluten free & corn free bread
Fresh cut veggies dipped in hummus or dairy-free ranch
