a typical day

[Guest guest]

Hey Carrie!

Here's what a typical day looks like for me. I dont have much variety,

but am trying to expand my menu. I had to cut out soy for several weeks due to

a short bought of a sudden soy-intolerance, but that is slowly going away.

Hope this helps!

 

Breakfast:

1c rice cereal

1c soy milk

 

Snack:

1 fruit or fruit juice (freshly made with my juicer)

 

Snack:

1 fruit

 

Lunch:

1/2c Cedar's Hummus

8 baby carrots

 

snack:

1 ANDI bar (vegan/GF/CF protein bar) or apple with nut butter

 

Dinner:

either a salad or soup with tofu or veggie stir fry with tofu

 

snack:

either an ANDI bar, fruit, or veggie/fruit juice

I am so glad somebody else feels this way. I am trying to eat this

way because I have had stomach problems and just found out I have

endometriosis. After some research I found that going wheat/gluten

free and cutting back on dairy would help me. It would be great if

you could post some examples of what you like to eat for meals.

 

For snacks I have been eating

veggies with hummus

apples, banana, or celery with peanut butter

nuts

yam chips (cut up in this slices and baked)

 

Also, instead of buying rice pasta, I just eat spaghetti squash with

sauce on it. I also use lettuce wraps for my sandwiches instead of

buying a lot of gluten free breads.

 

I would appreciate any meal ideas or recipes. I don't mean to sound

stupid, it is just sometimes you get in a rut and need a little

help!

Thanks,

Carrie

Hi Carrie

 

Typical day for my children is usually a selection of cereals like

rice flakes/brown rice, millet, buckwheat or quinoa porridge, or

gluten free cereal, with some fresh fruit, soy or rice milk, plus LSA

(ground up linseed, sunflower and almonds), dried fruit and flax

oil. Their snacks are usually raw nuts and fruit or sometimes they

get dehydrated fruit, sometimes soy yoghurt, sometimes a baked mini

GF muffin or something like that.

 

Lunch is most times salad and brown rice or some GF grain with beans,

tofu, tempeh, once in a blue moon TVP, since we aren't veg any more

we sometimes have a hard boiled free range egg (so that I can remove

the white easily for my son), sometimes a small bit of fish or a

small bit of free range chicken. Steamed veggies sometimes also.

Sometimes I make extra rice and make them fried rice or rice

noodles. I give them a GF sandwich twice a week with salad, nut

butter or soy cheese toasted with a bit of grated veg. Dinner is a

bit similar to lunch but sometimes we have soups or baked veggies,

etc. I try to vary as much if I can. Asian desserts are a bit more

GF because they use other types of flours like tapioca, mung bean,

rice, etc and also coconut milk. Anyhow, I still try not too have

too much refined stuff so that narrows down things a lot. Must try

not to focus too much on food even though we love to eat or else life

becomes too boring.

 

Ciao for now
