need recipe please
Hi, I'm cooking for a family of 6. (kids range in age from 4-13.) Mama just had surgery, and here are the dietary restrictions:
Vegetarian (eggs are ok), no dairy or gluten. They also limit soy. Now, you'd think I would be able to handle that just fine, and I can! (I can cook for anyone!) BUT, we are the very opposite of vegetarian! LOL! At our house, we eat Keto and/or Paleo, with no nuts plus other food restrictions. So meat is eaten at every meal! So I'd love some good ideas please! I'll probably cook for her about once a week for the next 6-8 weeks. Thanks!!

Re: need recipe please
Vegetable soup?
I don''t know what you would substitute for the 'main' dish, but roasted veggies are great. (instead of butter, use olive oil to coat the veggies.) If eggs are ok with the mom, for an easy dessert in a prepared pie plate you could pour a mixture of 3 or 4 eggs, 2 cups of coconut milk with about 1/2 cup of GF bisquick and sugar (1/3 cup to 1/2 cup) It makes a crust of it's own (well light crust that is fine in slices) It could be plain, topped with coconut whipped cream or do a meringue type topping. Bake at 350 until the center is done. (about an hour) |

Re: need recipe please
Not a main dish but here is our fave muffin recipe. Could be a dessert or snack for the kids. Fits all your requirements if you use dairy free chocolate chips. https://www.bakerita.com/chocolate-p...anana-muffins/

Re: need recipe please
Chinese stir fried veggies over the rice angel hair noodles?
Spaghetti with lots of mushrooms, onions and tomato in the sauce. If you have GF corn meal or sorghum flour you could make a good cornbread to go with the meal you choose. |

Re: need recipe please
Think south east asia
Many Indian, Chinese, vetlitnamese and thi recipes are diary and gluten free. If you are cooking for them long term grabbing some coconut amenos to use instead of soy sauce could be good. As well as maybe some other gluten free Staples. Do you know what there normal meals at home are? Some of our Staples meals are: http://www.yummly.com/recipe/Tomato-...o-Soup-1563661 http://www.yummly.com/recipe/Vegan-T...a-Soup-2259349 http://www.yummly.com/recipe/Creamy-...lfredo-2286010 I do this one with out chicken http://www.yummly.com/recipe/Healthy-Pad-Thai-1471949 I normally combine it with this one http://www.yummly.com/recipe/Lazy-Pad-Thai-1430899 http://www.yummly.com/recipe/Easy-Ch...-Free_-1447711 http://www.yummly.com/recipe/Potato-...howder-1433029 http://www.yummly.com/recipe/Classic-Falafel-2090073 Deserts: http://www.yummly.com/recipe/German-...ookies-2262083 http://www.yummly.com/recipe/2-Ingre...ookies-1064527 These are ones I haven't made yet but are up for me to try in the next couple of months http://www.yummly.com/recipe/Spicy-E...l-Stew-2239298 http://www.yummly.com/recipe/Chickpe...i-Sauce-481299 http://www.yummly.com/recipe/Vegetar...t-Soup-2157228 http://www.yummly.com/recipe/Roasted-Buddha-Bowl-440383 http://www.yummly.com/recipe/Spicy-M...r-Rice-1289986 I hope that is helpful.

Re: need recipe please
This is the way we eat when all my kids are here for dinner! The vegetarian part is relatively new since my 19 yo decided to try it. I'm going to use some of these ideas for myself.
I've found that I can take some of my favorite recipes and leave out the meat, adding extra veggies for bulk and flavor and sometimes lentils or chick peas for protein. (Roasted chick peas on top of a salad instead of chicken, yum!). Here's a good shepherd's pie recipe. http://www.chatelaine.com/recipe/din...shepherds-pie/ Oh She Glows (blog and every day cookbook) has lots of good recipes that are veg, gf, and df. You are a kind friend! Maedchen, that dessert needs to happen at my house!

Re: need recipe please
Dhal, veggie curry and rice.
Lentil sloppy joes on gf buns. Refried beans and other fixings they can eat with tacos/tortilla chips/corn tortillas/taco salad. Casseroles that use coconut milk for a creamy sauce. Do they enjoy a bit of junk food? Haribo candies and some potato chips might meet their requirements. Popcorn? Depending on how many eggs they can tolerate, black bean brownies or tapioca pudding made with coconut milk could work.

I basically use 5 eggs and add spinach and cheddar with the 1/2 cup of gf bisquick to make a quick quiche. Since my energy is so low, I add a little extra milk to say a pumpkin pie recipe and throw in 1/2 cup of the gf bisquick and that is how I make the pumpkin pies for my husband. I would think it would work fairly well with any custard type pie recipe. |

Taco soup: http://oceanskater.blogspot.com/2010...taco-soup.html
White Bean Chili: http://oceanskater.blogspot.com/2016...ean-chili.html Senate bean soup is a favorite of mine with GF biscuits. Instead of all those crazy flours, you can use 2 cups of any GF soy-free baking mix that has xanthan gum in it PLUS a GF baking powder. Gluten-free Dairy-free Biscuits Ingredients: 2 cups baking mix 1/3 cup + 1 tablespoon oil combo (I used about 1/4 cup coconut oil, and the rest olive oil) 2 ½ teaspoons gluten-free baking powder 1 egg 1 teaspoon salt 2/3 cup liquid (I used coconut milk beverage but water will work)
