Tuna salad made with albacore tuna, red onions, celery, and diced eggs seasoned with celery seed, dill, and salt and pepper (we use Mayo with Olive Oil), farmer's market fresh tomato with homemade hummus, rice chips, and pitted plums...YUM-O
Corn tortillas covered in homemade hummus, fresh tomato, and orange salad (romaine lettuce, oranges, red onion, cucumber, and pecans...Dressing is made with fresh OJ and Red Wine Vinager).
A simple gluten-free lunch...Oatmeal, banana, walnut bars (make sure you read the ingredients...Not all oatmeal products are gluten-free) covered in All Natural Jif Peanut Butter, organic vegetable soup, strawberries with a touch of sugar (not that I advocate for sugar but every once in a while you just want a little treat) and a cold glass of rice milk, almond milk or water...
Aunt Charlene baked the kiddos some gluten-free brownies and mailed them to us ;-)
These are just a few examples of our menu plan. Some of my friends who are going gluten-free have asked me to post a few ideas for them to follow or use as a creative starter. We also eat chicken, fish, and some beef. One of our favorite beef meals is sliced and seasoned brisket served alongside of mashed potatoes and fresh green beans or roasted veggies, brown rice, and a little mango salsa. We dress up baked chicken by seasoning it with gluten-free seasoning and add some farmer's market sweet corn on the cob and fried green tomatoes. Salmon seasoned and baked or grilled is DELICIOUS!! We roast red onion, sweet red pepper, zucchini, squash, and asparagus in olive oil and oregano. I place the fish and veggies on top of brown rice and add some slivered almonds. Our dessert for those meals are usually banana splits with all the toppings!!! YUM-O
