OK I know you are all dying to know what I will eat this week so I thought I would share again:
I am repeating a couple recipes from last week that I never made. I also thought I would share that I found a spelt pizza crust at Whole Foods for Pizza. And another old recipe that I can still eat: Mix chopped up baked chicken with a chopped red pepper and a chopped red onion and pour bbq sauce over the whole thing, mix, pour on crust, top with a little rice cheese and bake. Yummy. OK OK I admit that after eating it I looked at the ingredients on my Famous Daves bbq sauce and discovered that the first ingredient was high fructose corn syrup and it also contained soy and wheat so clearly I will have to find a more natural brand or learn to make my own but none the less the pizza was great.
On to this week:
Curried apple and cauliflower soup—I got a book from the library called “gluten free vegan” so I am going to try a couple recipes from there this week.
Mushroom and Olive Pizza—also from the gf vegan book. Has a recipe for pizza crust that I might try.
Chicken Thai lettuce wraps from last Sunday.
Cornbread bbq chicken bake—from last week that I didn’t make. I did find a cornbread mix that I can eat.
Tilapia with the broccoli/ginger salad.—again from last week that I didn’t make.
Turkey Tacos-Jake and John like soft shelled tacos but I prefer to make a salad with corn tortilla chips.—I wonder what is in the seasoning packet I usually buy? Will I have to make my own seasoning? We shall see.
John and I are having an “off-site” meeting this coming weekend, staying at a friends cabin, so we are going to go out to dinner Saturday night. Don’t know what I will eat but they do have a couple nice restaurants in town. I guess if I am not eating anything we can afford to go a little fancier. I have planned a few snacks and lunches to eat while we work. I am going to cheat a little with some banana bread during the “tea time” break that I have in the agenda for the weekend. I did buy some gluten free flour from Bob’s Red Mill but it looks like I need a little xanthum gum to go with it and I bought date sugar but it is still sugar so I still shouldn't eat it (that is the cheating part). I was also wondering if there were any recipes out there for gluten free bread in the bread machine. It is one of those things I haven’t brought myself to purge from the kitchen even thought I haven’t used it in years. Maybe it will come in handy now?
sounds good...how fun to be at chuck and jills this weekend for your "business meeting"...will they be there too?
ReplyDeleteI think I might need to start planning my menus again...I got such joy from it, but it requires a lot of time, thought, preplannign and effort to do it well and I feel like I am pulled in a million directions right now.
I just cheated by putting about 1 T of white chocolate coconut coffee creamer in my coffee. I bought it for my bible study but it sounded good and i wanted to try it...lucky for me, i enjoy straight up black coffee more, so i won't be tempted again, unless I am craving a latte, this would be a good compromise.
keep up the good work!
Not sure if this is useful, but they have some gf bread machine recipes on the Bob's site. I found them under recipes and gluten free. Good luck!
