Grain Free Living

Breakfast

OPTION 1 - 1 or 2 eggs, any way, on thick buckwheat pancake

OPTION 2 - Soy Smoothie - blend frozen mixed berries or banana with soy milk.

OPTION 3 - Quinoa Cereal - Cook 1/2 cup of quinoa with 1 cup of water, 1/2 finely sliced apple and good pinch of cinnamon until water is absorbed and qrains are cooked. Serve with a dollop of organic cream.

OPTION 4 - TOAST! Yes, you can have toast if you make my grainfree bread.

OPTION 5 - Fruit Loaf - You can have an amazing fruit and nut toast if you make my fruit and nut bread.

Lunch

OPTION 1 - Salad Wraps made from Crepe recipe of choice filled with avocado, sliced cucumber, capsicum, rocket, baby english spinach leaves, tomato. Season with sea salt and pepper or a drizzle of vinaigrette dressing.  You can add any left over roast meat or chicken, or cook up sliced mushrooms and onion and make a warm mushroom and salad wrap. Options are endless.

OPTION 2 - Sandwich of choice using grainfree bread or thick buckwheat pancake as a bread substitute.

OPTION 3 - Large Salad with Tuna, Chicken, Roast meat, salmon (tinned or smoked) or beans. Meal tastes completely different by varying the protein source and details like dressing, capers, finely sliced red onion, shallots, salad leaves, herbs. You could do Option 3 every day of the week and have a different meal each time.  Make your own dressing as commerical ones nearly always have hidden grains.

OPTION 4 - Last nights leftovers (unless you are doing a strict candida diet)

Dinner

Rule of Thumb - have a protein source with either lots of lightly steamed vegetables or a large salad. Add interest to the vegetables by adding herbs, lemon juice, tomato based sauces, homemade gravy etc. Can add a carbohydrate such as potato, sweet potato, or quinoa. Its easy!!!!

FOR EXAMPLE...

OPTION 1 - Roast dinner - roast meat of choice and veggies

OPTION 2 - Curry or casserole (any recipe you currently cook, just substitute any flour or thickener with potato flour) served with Quinoa instead of rice.

OPTION 3 - Spaghetti Bolognaise or any other pasta sauce served on a bed of "vegetable spaghetti" (eg: cut carrots, zuchinni so they are long and skinny and beans and asparagus and lightly steam) or use Mung Bean Vermicelli.  If you are from Australia you can order pasta from Deeks or Pasta@Home.

OPTION 4 - Use your imagination !! You can have ANYTHING YOU USUALLY HAVE - just use the SUBSTITUTES if you have to. Once you start looking, you would be amazed how many "normal" recipes are grain free and sugar free.

For dessert or to satisfy a sweet tooth have fruit and cashew cream or check out the other sweet recipes for ideas.
